Outliers - Maclcom Gladwell
Some obervations from outliers:
Most outliers have 3 things in common:
1) passion
2) talents
3) hard work
Even one does not do above average among the selected best group,as long as they are "above the threshold" level, they mostly can achieve outstanding results in mkt
Actually, not only IQ matters, but practical intelligence is also of impt vs analytical intelligence. How the genius brought up , mainly dictated by the family background. Say, for those come from middle family, they learn of "entitlement", those kids are more described as more alert, poised, attractive and well dressed. It is in contrast with those brought up from lower end family, of whom the genius learnt of " independence" but some are lacking the practical intelligence.
"They neeeded an opportunity to step outside those roles when they sat in the cockpit, and language was the key to that transformation." - Korean pilots p.256.
Under emergency cicumstance, you need commands and assertive words to clearly communicate to the team, rather than the submissive requests which are the prodcuts of cultural legacy and history of individualistic characteristics.
"Success is a function of persistence and doggedness and the willingness to work hard for 22 mins to make sense of something that most people would give up on after 30 sec." P.288
"Virtually every success story we've seen in this book so far involves someone or some group working harder than their peers". p.279
"Working really hard is what successful people do, and the genius of the culture is that hard work gave those in the fields a way to find meaning in the midst of great uncertainty and poverty".
"SSLANT - smile, sit up, listen, ask questions, nod when being spoken to, and track with your eyes" p. 293
"It is when thus relieved from the state of tension belonging to acutal study that boys and girls, as well as men and women, acquire the habit of thought and reflection, and of forming their own conclusions, independently of what they are taught and the authority of others." p.297
"Outliers are those who have been given opportunities - and who have had the strength and presence of mind to seize them" p. 313
"We are so caught in the myths of the best and the brightest and the self-made that we think outliers spring naturally from the earth" p. 314
"Marita just needed a chance" p. 315
