I just watched this Charlie Rose interview with Geoff Colvin (http://www.charlierose.com/view/interview/9856) and found that pretty interesting. Thanks for the information.

But if you *were* going to do it, it's not enough to practice all the time. As you know if you've been reading Geoff Colvin et al., you have to practice the right *way*. A great book to help you think further about this is The Talent Code by Daniel Coyle. He really lays out what's involved as your brain improves its wiring in support of the work you're doing -- but he does it with a flair for telling interesting stories. Whatever you decide . . . good luck! In general, I doubt that a year is enough time. But if you *were* going to do it, it’s not enough to practice all the time.
