Interesting read, Gladwell makes it clear to us something we may not want to admit, pure hard work or even pure talent does not guarantee our success. We must work hard and we must upskill ourselves, but importantly we must also identify where good opportunities lie. Gladwells message might appear to some as a statement that only those blessed with good opportunities can be outliers in success, but I see it differently. It may be wishful thinking but I hope there is some outlier position in each of our lives we can identify and exploit to truly achieve greatness :)
