TOP 10 LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE BOOK -  “OUTLIERS”

1. We do a mistake if we cling to the idea that success is a simple function of individual merit. 

The rules that we choose to write as a society matter a lot.

Do not bother about the results. Results are different with people having different perspectives.

2. Achievement is Talent + Practise / Preparation, the latter being the majority stakeholder. 

What is difficult to acquire is the consistency required in practising for your success. 

That comes purely from your love of your craft.

3. Approx 10,000 Hours of practise is required to be a world class expert in anything. 

It takes roughly 10 years to put in 10,000 hours of practise.

So, Think before you take a jump, instead of getting excited with initial success.

4. 10000 hours is an enormous amount of time.

You cannot do it all alone. You will need lot of encouragement, support and you cannot be doing a part time job to make your ends meet

because you will just not be be left with enough time everyday to hit 10,000 hours of practise.

5. IQ matters but only up to a point.

✅Beyond that, its your attitude. It is just like in a basketball game, height matters but that's just up to a point.

6. No one make it alone, NO ONE!

They need guidance and support at the right age. Good parenting, great environment is key in producing legends.

7. When you accept a salary cheque, it basically boils down to what you feel is right vs what you can do to receive the next paycheck.

8. The opportunities you are presented with for success are not only dependent on your inner qualities, your parenting but also the time you were born in this world.

9. Snowball

Most air accidents are not a result of any major mechanical or technical failures.

These are usually small incidents that happen one after another - which either get unnoticed or are not communicated properly in an unambiguous manner.

10. No one who can rise before dawn 360 days a year fails to make his family rich

✅Fact!

You live your life on auto pilot because you don’t know what to do with your life.
