Outliers

 

📎 Top 10 Lessons learned From the Book- "Outliers"

✔️ 1. We do a mistake if we cling to the idea that success is a simple function of individual merit.

✔️ 2. Achievement = Talent + Practice / Preparation.

What is difficult to acquire is the consistency needed to be successful.

That comes purely from your love of your craft.

✔️ 3. Approx 10,000 Hours of practice is required to be a world class expert in anything.

It can take roughly 10 years to put in 10,000 hours of practice.

So, think before you take a jump, instead of getting excited with initial success.

✔️ 4. 10,000 hours is an enormous amount of time.

You can't do it all alone. You will need a lot of encouragement and support.

✔️ 5. IQ matters but only up to a point.

Beyond that, its your attitude.

Just like basketball, height matters but that's just up to a point.

✔️ 6. No one make it alone. No one.

Everyone needs guidance and support at the right age.

Good parenting and a great environment are critical in producing legends.

✔️ 7. When you accept a salary, it basically boils down to what you feel is right vs what you can do to receive the next paycheck.

✔️ 8. The opportunities you are presented with for success are not only dependent on your inner qualities, your parenting but also the time you were born in this world.

✔️ 9. Snowball

Most air accidents are not a result of any major mechanical or technical failures.

These are usually small incidents that happen one after another - which either get unnoticed or are not communicated properly in an unambiguous manner.

✔️ 10. No one... who rises before dawn 365 days a year... will fail to make his family rich.
