What I was reading yesterday and today...

Outliers - The Story of Success by Malcolm Gladwell



"It is those who are successful, in other words, who are most likely to be given the kinds of special opportunities that lead to further success. It's the rich who get the biggest tax breaks. Its the best students who get the best teaching and most attention. And its the biggest nine- and ten-year-olds who get the most coaching and practice. Success is the result of what sociologists like to call 'accumulative advantage."


Dope book, def a must read!! My barnes and noble guru Sickamore put me on.
