Forget everything you thought you knew about
success, and get ready to hear what New York
writer, Malcom Gladwell has to say.
This multiple bestseller has many a lesson
to teach, five of which we’ll be taking
a look at today.
One. Practice.
Gladwell stated that people at the top of
the food chain don’t just work a bit harder
than others.
They work much, MUCH harder.
Practice shouldn’t be something you do once
you’re good.
It’s what you do that MAKES you good.
Two: Courage.
According to Gladwell, courage isn’t something
that already exists to use in times of turmoil.
It’s earned, and comes to light when you
realize that, in actual fact, you’re not
so tough after all.
Three.
Fulfilment.
For work to be satisfying, there are three
qualities is must possess.
Autonomy, complexity, and a connection between
effort and reward.
It shouldn’t come down to how much money
we make.
It’s about the work we do, and whether THAT
brings us joy.
Four.
Innovation.
Innovators need to be disagreeable.
Now, this does NOT mean obnoxious.
It’s never easy to take social risks, and
dive into the deep end that others are afraid
of.
You have to be willing to do this, and stop
obsessing about seeking the approval of others.
Five.
Opportunity.
Just look at Bill Gates.
The then 13-year old in 1968 was provided
unlimited access to a time-sharing terminal.
What would happen if a million teenagers in
today’s day and age were given the same
opportunity?
There’s nothing wrong with being a big fish
in a small pond.
It’s time to jump out and rise up and above
the crowd, and Malcom Gladwell is here to
change our perceptions forever.
