Outliers

I just finished a book by Malcolm Gladwell entitled "Outliers." It is a wonderful piece of work.
Economics and I really don't get along in the classroom, but outside, I love it. I love reading about it and I'm addicted to learning morning, especially in terms of society. I loved the book Freakonomics and am ready to read Freakonomics II.
Outliers is a book that breaks down how people actually succeed, the economics and opportunities. It is incredible the amount of detail and research that was done on this. I am thoroughly impressed and highly recommend it. I can't wait to read his other two.
There are so many things I want to write, but just picking one part would not only ruin it, but wouldn't have the same effect without the rest. Instead I just want to share a couple sentences found near the end of the epilogue that really sums it up.

"Superstar lawyers and math whizzes and software entrepreneurs appear at first blush to like outside ordinary experience. But they don't. They are products of history and community, of opportunity and legacy. Their success is not exceptional or mysterious. It is grounded in a web of advantages and inheritances, some deserved, some not, some earned, some just plain lucky - but all critical to making them who they are.
The outlier, in the end, is not an outlier at all."
