Recent research has shown that 10,000 hours is equal to about 8 years.

@Bill
your calculation is if you sleep only 6h every single day, and if you don’t work at all and you’re at all times improving in your parenting (you don’t even let space to eat or shit). plus you’re ignoring that your kids may need to do their own stuff (going to school etc), at which times all you could do is read a book on parenting. even more you oversimplify by assuming that parenting a baby is the same as parenting a 6-8 year old or a teenager. while for a violin, piano, snowboarding, etc, the technique and methods remain the same, this is not true for a growing human being.

if you were to put 10,000 hours practice on how to take care of newborns(babies) you would probably become an expert at it and could take care of other newborns, but not of a 4,8, or 12 year-old.

parenting ain’t easy

You should add weeks per year so people can factor in vacation time or the length of a season (if you’re trying to become an expert in a winter sport like skiing, for instance).

Do you get to be a good parent in about 1 year? Care for a newborn 18 hours per day, 7 days per week, 1.52 years. Hmmmmm…

Like it. Simple and elegant. If the slider throbs lightly then it would have been faster for me to figure out where to start.

Hi Ryan!!

Thanks for your explanation, it’s very clear and the application works perfectly.

Do you know any other to practice kanji?

Hi Yume,

Here are the instructions to install it manually:

1. Find the Japanese.zip file located on your phone.

2. Open it, then go to Options and select Mark/Unmark -> Mark all.

3. Go to Options again and select Extract.

4. Choose either your phone memory or your memory card.

5. When it says “Extract to:”, you must select the folder named “Other”. This is the default folder that the FlashLite player look at.

6. Once files have been extracted into the folder called “Other”, go to Menu -> Media -> Flash Player and find the folder called Japanese.

7. Open that folder and select the Japanese.swf file.

Hope this helps!

Hello, Ryac.

Thanks for this application.

I don’t know how to instal it. I have an E65, so where should I copy the files? I copied them into the images folder and then I’ve tried to show them from the videoclips gallery but the program show me only the first kana and the slowbar doesn’t move.

Thanks
