Finally, Wayne has only had two overtime goals in his whole career (NHL.com). The reason is because he is not selfish and he passed the puck but he also had eight hundred and forty nine goals in his regular seasons. There are many more reasons why Wayne Gretzky is the greatest player than the worst player.

Robbins still became a successful entrepreneur. Gladwell has great evidence to show how people may become successful but I do not believe that may always be the case. I side more with Robbins he believe that success can be achieved by an internal Force, which is something we cannot see. That internal force will drive use to achieve that success that we want. Personally I could connect with Robbins and the pain and struggle he had.

The NHL has seen its share of magical moments since 1917, when the league was founded.

The rest of the Younger family is disconcerted by this new business deal, and asks Walter if this is what he truly wants and believes is right, to which he responds that he’s “Going to feel fine…[like] a man…” (144).
