Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell
What are the roots of successful people. In some cases such as the Beatles, it involves 10,000 hours of practice in a club in Hamburg, Germany. In other cases the culture of an individual will predict whether they make a good member of a flight crew. The simple words to describe numbers in Asian cultures allow for more rapid assimulation of math than in English speaking countries. In some cases, the time that you went to school, the month you were born or the time you enter the job market determines your success.
Malcolm Gladwell describes the 10 year evolution that resulted in the success of Fleetwood Mac.
Success comes slowly. We are far too impatient with people. It takes 10 years or 10,000 hours to become really good at something.
The book, Outliers: The Story of Success
