Outliers: The Story of Success 7 months ago

Our life mission is to be happy. But how can we get it? There is the dilemma, we are happy just if in our happiness we include others. Some people believe that being successful is the way to achieve long-awaited happiness. But what means to be successful? How can we get it?

To understand the meaning of success is important to understand first the process involved in achieving it. Gladwell, talks in his book about the Key Points: working hard is the first point, he clearly exemplifies it, in one of the first chapters when he mentions the rule of 10,00 hours of work, as the minimum time to be the best, the persistence is an important feature as well as natural talent of the person.

Gladwell, in his book outliers presents key features of a successful person, thereby achieving inspire many, and also disappoint many others who do not identify with their theories. Some people think that he’s talking about something unattainable, but Gladwell really wants to make us feel like a man with lots of limitations?

The intention of the writer in outliers is to identify those people who have the requirements as it is: born at the right time, with the right family and in the right place. I think he´s just telling some stories of successful people, true anecdotes, which we should take as an example and motivation for each day be better and achieve our goals.

Outliers is specially made for active reader, is a book that depends on the reader, on his critical and perceptive eye. Gladwell shows one of the interesting secrets of life, as the success, but in an anecdotal way. What makes the work a pleasant reading, as well as at the same time leave a message of personal growth.

Outliers book could be considered a manual for life. The author made brilliants speculations of achievements, through eloquent anecdotes that give us important messages for living, which may be use daily in our lifes.
