Do you want to be
successful in your life?
.
.
Are you tired of waiting
for success?
.
Do not bother yourself and
start reading Outliers!
.
This book inspired me and
changed me a lot.
.
Outliers is not a story of
success; it is a new way of thinking about success.
.
The key points of this
book are:
.
1- hard working is not
every thing:
Not only hard working lead to success, but also luck plays huge
role in success.
Malcolm Gladwell, the author of the book, pointed out in his
book that successful people are often lucky to be in the right place at the
right time, and he used Canadian hockey players who were all born in the same
months of their birth year to support his idea.

2- 10,000 hours rule:
10,000 hours of working
on a skill is what it takes you to be a master. The author mentioned that
musical geniuses such as Mozart, and Chess grandmasters, both achieved their
success after about 10 years and about 10,000 hours. Also he used Bill Joy,
Co-founder of Sun Microsystems Java, who had the opportunity to practice his
skill for 10,000 hours to proof his idea.

3- Intelligence alone won't lead to success:
Gladwell talked about intelligent people who
may or may not have been successful due to a number of different conditions. He explained why Chris
Langan is not a successful person even though he is the smartest man in America
with highest IQ score in the world.

Hello Abdul,
ReplyDeleteI read this book last semester. I really enjoyed reading this book and I like the idea of this book, which is how a person could become successful. 10000 hours rule is the idea that i like the most in the book. In short, after I read the book, I changed my opinion about how a person could succeed.

ReplyDeleteHey Abdul, thanks for this review. I like it. It seems that the book is interesting to read. The key points are exciting because most people have stereotype about it. It is amazing that when discover something you think it is sign of success but actually it is not. Anyhow, it is attractive book. I will consider to read it as soon as I can.
