When I initially thought about what I should dedicate over a year of my life to, things like driving a Formula One car or piloting an Apache attack helicopter came to mind. However, I realized these were just things I thought were fun, not things that were practical. So I thought about skills that would add to my life and improve my chance of success in the world. I eventually came to art.
I'll be the first to say I have zero talent when it comes to drawing or painting or sculpting, but the way I see it, that only means I have plenty of room to improve over the course of 10,000 hours.
Perfecting art would not only add to my general skill set, but also help me use more of the creative side of my brain. Being a great artist would help my career as well. My goal is to become a mechanical engineer with a focus on car design, a field in which drawing is definitely a necessity.
