I've read that it takes 10,000 hours of practice to be an expert at something, whether it's baseball, ballet or writing. That's just under 5 years of full-time work.

Sometimes you're the only person that can get it done right - even if you're bad at it.

However, I don't like the idea of outsourcing things that I am learning/growing in to.
