10,000 hours rule

i kinda like the 10,000 hours rule. it states that in order to excel in a particular field or interest, one would have to spend 10,000 hours working on it.

i was thinking whether that applies to yugioh? since it had been tested and proven by many pros from different fields, most evident in sports i believe.

of course, we cannot rule out the possibility of having the genius genes in you. but then again, its "1% inspiration, 99% perspiration".

would really investing 10,000 hours in yugioh makes you much better that you can simply sweep all the major official tournaments?

whats your take? some things for you to ponder. haha!
