Outliers - Malcom Gladwell

Ouliers by Malcom Gladwell, examines the factors that contribute to high levels of success. Throughout the publication, Gladwell repeatedly mentions the "10,000-Hour Rule", claiming that the key to success in any field is, to a large extent, a matter of practicing a specific task for a total of around 10,000 hours.

Outliers has two parts: "Part One: Opportunity" contains five chapters, and "Part Two: Legacy" has four. The book also contains an Introduction and Epilogue

My Insights:

1. Hard-work - Planned, meticulous, sincere hardwork pays
2. commit 10,000 hrs of your dedicated time for anything you want to specialize in.
3. All great people started by presenting themselves with right opportunity and hard-work to deserve that.
