I just recieved a copy of OUTLIERS wriiten by Malcom Gladwell.
Outliers: The Story of Success is a non-fiction (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-fiction) book written by Malcolm Gladwell (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malcolm_Gladwell) and published by Little, Brown and Company (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little,_Brown_and_Company) on November 18, 2008. In Outliers, Gladwell examines the factors that contribute to high levels of success. To support his thesis, he examines the causes of why the majority of Canadian ice hockey (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_hockey) players are born in the first few months of the calendar year, how Microsoft (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft) co-founder Bill Gates (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Gates) achieved his extreme wealth, and how two people with exceptional intelligence, Christopher Langan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Langan) and J. Robert Oppenheimer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Robert_Oppenheimer), end up with such vastly different fortunes. Throughout the publication, Gladwell repeatedly mentions the "10,000-Hour Rule", claiming that the key to success in any field is, to a large extent, a matter of practicing a specific task for a total of around 10,000 hours.
Sh%t i have spend alot more then 10,000 hrs in handicapping races and i still dont know what im doing.
Has anyone read this book?
