    Outliers: The Story of Success Review There were many things I could agree or disagree with Malcolm Gladwell in his work, and I want to hit them piece by piece. First I want to start off by making a simple agreement to his main point or theory that there is a combination to success which consist mostly of where you come from, and the amount of work you put into something. Two simple quotes that explain his theory "Practice isn 't the thing you do once you 're good. It 's the thing you do that makes you good" and "Those three things - autonomy, complexity, and a connection between effort and reward - are, most people will agree, the three qualities that work has to have if it is to be satisfying".

  • Gladwell's Reflection

    407 Words  | 2 Pages

    Due to the examples that Gladwell presented and his convincing analysis, I can agree with his ideas about what creates a successful individual. One idea that I especially agreed with was the topic that discussed the effect of summer breaks on children’s learning. Gladwell writes that, “Virtually all of the advantage that wealthy students have over poor students is the result of differences in the way privileged kids learn while they are not in school” (Gladwell 258). When Gladwell presented this idea about the caustic effects of summer vacation, I was a little skeptical at first. However the evidence he presented and his analysis undoubtedly showed how the learning gap between poor and rich children is created over summer break.

A student goes through early childhood education, kindergarten, elementary, middle school, high school, trade school, college, graduate school, post-doctoral programs, certificate programs etc. The main focus is always to equip the student with knowledge and skills necessary to perform competently in their chosen area of endeavor. In our myopic focus, on a narrow skills set, we frequently overlook the real engine that drives success – character.
