Outliers chunk 1

Malcolm Gladwell , author of "Outliers, argues our views of success are incorect and wants to give us a better understanding of how to become successful. In order to become successful you need to have talent and abilty; you can't buy your way into a prosperous life. It takes time and effort to develop "the ability". Outliers is based on men and women who do things out of the ordinary. Asking a successful person about him/herself is not how that person reached the top. He wants to convince us that the fallacy "from nothing to something' does not work. There are hidden advantages and beneficial opportunities given. There is a difference made depending on where and time period we grew up. What is passed down through generations shape patterns of our acheivements. Passion, talent, and hard work is also expected.
