"அம்மா,...

அன்று நம் தொப்புள் கொடியை

அறுத்தது நம் உறவை பிரிக்க

அல்ல....

அது

நம் பாசத்தின் தொடக்கத்திற்கு 

வெட்டப்பட்ட ரிப்பன்....." 

உன்னோடு பேச ஒரு நிமிடம் கிடைத்தால் போதும்,

"கண்ணோடு இருக்கும்  கண்ணீர் மட்டுமல்ல",

"என்னோடு இருக்கும்  கவலைகளும் தீர்ந்து விடும்"!

Check Out the Company

No substitute for hard work

The first major conclusion is that nobody is great without work. It's nice to believe that if you find the field where you're naturally gifted, you'll be great from day one, but it doesn't happen. There's no evidence of high-level performance without experience or practice.
Reinforcing that no-free-lunch finding is vast evidence that even the most accomplished people need around ten years of hard work before becoming world-class, a pattern so well established researchers call it the ten-year rule.
What about Bobby Fischer, who became a chess grandmaster at 16? Turns out the rule holds: He'd had nine years of intensive study. And as John Horn of the University of Southern California and Hiromi Masunaga of California State University observe, "The ten-year rule represents a very rough estimate, and most researchers regard it as a minimum, not an average." In many fields (music, literature) elite performers need 20 or 30 years' experience before hitting their zenith.
So greatness isn't handed to anyone; it requires a lot of hard work. Yet that isn't enough, since many people work hard for decades without approaching greatness or even getting significantly better. What's missing?
