What I want to remember from Outliers
Personal notes post – posted as such so that I can grab it from any computer. Feel free to ignore this.
Ideally, the work you do (whether for self or others should included these elements):
Autonomy
Complexity/meaningful
Clear relationship between effort and reward
Want to be world class? 10,000 hours (Find a Hamburg)
Western society (all societies really) have yet to tap the potential of our people.
Success is bigger than one person – this isn’t a personal success book – it’s a societal success book.
Adding three 10s 4 and two 10s 5 is easier than adding 34 and 25.
Sorry, this will make no sense unless you’ve read the book Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell.
If you have, comments greatly appreciated.
Kerry, thanks for the “Outliers” recommendation – I’ve requested it from my local library (#74 in the queue!)
