"Outliers: The Story Of Success", by Malcolm Gladwell examines the factors that contribute to high levels of success. Gladwell examines why the majority of professional Canadian ice hockey players were born in the first few months of the calendar year, why Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates achieved his extreme wealth, why The Beatles became one of the most successful musical acts in history, etc. .
After reading "Outliers", I know what success is and what it takes to be successful. Success is a process - developing our potential and turning ourselves into an outlier in a specific area. .
Success requires practical intelligence, practice and opportunity. Many people think IQ and success go hand-in-hand and assume that people with high intelligence will be the ones to achieve great success. Gladwell proves that this theory isn't true. There are many factors that contribute to success. General intelligence is IQ that indicates how well our brain works - understanding, processing, memory and creativity. Building our practical intelligence, which is how well we interpret or handle a particular situation, carry out the best solution for the the problems and develop our general intelligence effectively, is so essential for being successful. Taking an example from Outliers, Chris Langan and Robert Oppenheimer are two brilliant geniuses but they obtain an absolutely different outcome while encountering a problem. Chris was hard to communicate with the instructors so he lost his financial aid and failed in his career. In addition, Robert has a higher practical intelligence so that he could read the situations well and avoided the serious punishment after attempting to poison his instructor. .
If a person who has higher IQ does not practice anymore or satisfy of himself, he would lose his talent. Otherwise, a person with low IQ but he never gives up and keeps learning to be smart. So that he becomes intelligence enough as he knows a lot and he will make a reflection quickly.
