Outliers


Just finished reading this book on Monday night. It's a very interesting book. The story telling pattern is similar to his 2 previous books - Tipping Point and Blink.

Lessons learnt:

1. If you want to be one of the richest man in the world today, you should be born in 1955.

2. 10,000 hours is the amount of time you need to spend on anything you do to become one of the best.

3. Success = Opportunity + 10,000 hours.
Opportunity play a much bigger role than what we would like to believe.

4. Culture is a very important element in everything we do. Plane crashes has a lot to do with it.

5. Asian are good at Math not because they have better IQ or hardworking.

6. Most of the best footballers in UK is born in Jan, Feb and Mar.
