Pepperdine Will Be Happy Warren Buffet is Wrong

Buffett told Fortune not long ago, he was "wired at birth to allocate capital." It's a one-in-a-million thing. You've got it - or you don't.

An article over at CNN.Money.com argues that natural talent is irrelevant to great success. Thank Goodness. What It Takes Be Great

The article's A-List includes:
  • Warren Buffet
  • Tiger Woods
  • Bobby Fischer
  • Winston Churchill
  • Michael Jordan
  • Terrell Owens
  • Jerry Rice
  • Bill Gates
  • John D. Rockefeller
Quote from the article
"The best people in any field are those who devote the most hours to what the researchers call "deliberate practice." It's activity that's explicitly intended to improve performance, that reaches for objectives just beyond one's level of competence, provides feedback on results and involves high levels of repetition."
If you don't take anything else from this article, there are at least some good tips on improving your golf game.

Oh yeah, just kidding about the Terrell Owens thing, there's no mention of him anywhere in the article.

Props to my Sis for pointing this out.
