10,000 hours of dedication needed.

Hardwork, dedication + luck = success

According to Malcolm Gladwell that apart from talent you need to spend at least 10,000 hours to be good at something. Which translates into 4 hours/day for 10 years. 
Funnily, George Steiner mentions a similar figure of practice neccessary.
Einstein said it more succinctly - 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration.
