Reflections on approaches to learning

Dabbler: taking a sculpture class at the local art center. Great diversion. No intent to develop skill. Just wanted to try something new.
Hacker: computer maintenance. Learn just enough to fix things.
Obsessive: Language. Tried to take French in college and could not keep it up. Took more time than all my other courses combined. Dropped the class.
Mastery: Swimming. Swam competitively for 12 years. 2-4 hours a day. 10,000 hours of practice.
