En Occidente, a menudo se considera que se necesitan 10,000 horas de estudio o práctica para que una persona promedio se convierta en un experto en su tema. Esa es la que fue popularizada por el exitoso libro de Malcolm Gladwell «Outliers«.
Gladwell asegura que se necesitan 10,000 horas de práctica intensiva para lograr el dominio de habilidades y materiales complejos, como tocar el violín o llegar a ser tan bueno como Bill Gates en programación de computadoras.
Pero en Japón no se le considera un maestro en su oficio, un Takumi, hasta que no ha pasado 60,000 horas perfeccionando sus habilidades.
Eso es el equivalente a trabajar ocho horas al día, 250 días al año durante 30 años.
Un año apenas tiene 8,760 horas y por supuesto, es imposible dedicarlas todas a una sola actividad, pero cuando se suman más de 20 años en la misma actividad, podríamos sumar las horas de cada año y superaría por mucho las 10,000.
En este caso, son horas detrás del volante de diferentes autos; un promedio conservador de 100 vehículos al año o unos 2,000 autos nuevos.
Me falta mucho para ser experto, pero en este video está la lista (casi) completa de todos los modelos nuevos que manejé en 2021.
