Outliers

I've just listened to Outliers by Malcolm Gladewell and I think it is an important book. Hockey and soccer players handicapped by December birthdays - advantage for Bill Gates to have his own computer at age 13 in 1968, culture matters. 10,000 hours of practice to be successful - smartest one or not. Fascinating. Read it.

I know, right? How weird that the birthdays make such a difference. It makes total sense, too.
