You gotta practice in order to become good at something

How do you get to Carnege Hall?
PRACTICE          PRACTICE          PRACTICE

In his book Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell writes about the 10,000 hour rule, which basically states that in order to become a successful professional it takes 10,000 hours of practice. He uses examples, like how The Beatles played in Hamburg non-stop for two years honing their skill before they even recorded their first track.
So the best advice anyone can give to any young person, no matter what their pursuit: 
PUT IN THE WORK!
I'm approaching the 10,000 hours.  
How about YOU?
