epiphany of the moment

I'm told that in Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers it says that a person must generally do something for 10 years before being really good at it.

I've been rambling for almost 10 years now. I'm going to be a professional rambler.

I'm no poet, I can do alright with stories and essays, but MAN, I could be a damn prolific rambler.

Could I then forgo a PhD? or better yet, maybe I could get a PhD in rambling, and thus have hundreds of pages legitimizing my rambles.

I like this.
