“No one rises before dawn 360 days a year and fails to make his family wealthy.”
Outliers emphasized the key to success as a mixture of several factors: hard work and luck. IQ and/or education have little to do with whether a person becomes successful or not. It’s all about the number of hours you put into practicing your craft. Gladwell determines that the special number is 10,000 hours. Anyone who has put in 10,000 hours of practice time has become successful – Bill Gates, professional athletes, lawyers, etc. Luck also plays a major part on whether success comes to you with less effort or not. This luck factor includes birth date (month/year), race, location, economic status, etc. When all these factors fall into place in perfect harmony, success is almost guaranteed if you’re willing to work hard at it. Whether you agree with Gladwell or not, this book will definitely make you think and evaluate your own life experiences and circumstances.
