Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

They are not connected... It's kind of a birth right thing these days. Look at all the nonsense that sells - case in point...

[@Razvanh29]

Nobody worth listening to actually says (or writes) that opportunity plays no part in great success. It's just that most of us (myself included) let opportunities pass without using them at all or very little. Meanwhile, the very successful see great opportunities in little things. And the fact that they are _ambitious_ and _smart_ of course is decisive. How much opportunity did Napoleon need?

[@robertcalamusso4218]

Define success for yourself. Do your own thing.

[@dearthofdoohickeys4703]

I’m not successful, and I couldn’t be happier about it. That lifestyle is riddled with nightmares.

[@hew195050]

Then you ARE successful!! Great job!

[@fableslayer]

ridiculous to say that 98% are not successful! this is a joke to think this way! it depends on what each individual wants out of their life. its unique to the desires of each soul. money and materialism are NOT measures of success! the point here is off the mark!

[@Vita-a-stelle-e-strisce]

You are right but I don’t think Gladwell chose the title of the video and anyways he didn’t talk about money. He explained his views in a different way.

[@CharlesAustin]

Absolutely it .. so true..in every respect.. experience/sustained hard work is the true self perpetuating ‘talent’.. !!

[@AndreasFroehliPoker]

How did you put 8 in video ads? Is it really worth it? Dont you have problems with copyright?

[@chriscoughlan5221]

I have to agree with that, the key to success can't always be achieved alone, I know cuz I'm a prime example. Self belief isn't always enough!!! I had a wonderful cake business idea 21yrs ago, it needed money to get it to the next level, this money could have been made available if I had more self belief, problem was nobody believed in me!!! So it was put on the back burner!!!!!!

[@ronjones1414]

I'd like to listen to Sapolsky and Gladwell debate this. Sapolsky's "it is all biological" doesn't really work with Gladwell's "It primarily opportunity." The way I see it, they are both right.

[@NormalRarin]

I like Malcolm Gladwell, but this presentation is disjointed. The on screen messages are different from the audio and that makes it tough to process the point.

[@williampan29]

it seems the audio is artificial

[@awos6559]

That’s the channel, not malcom Gladwell. They put it together.

[@awos6559]

I think he’s generally right. But what’s his definition of “success?” Is it more money, trophies etc?

[@teddybruscie]

Yea Malcolm is basically talking about toxic ideas and misconceptions of success and the channel is promoting the very toxic ideas of success by taking his quotes out of context. Lol

[@maryshaffer8474]

I'm in the herd. My goal in life has been achieved.

[@Lifetalk849]

Success: 1. Do justice; 2. Love mercy; 3. Walk humbly with your God.

[@catherinemelnyk]

Thank you. I agree. We get far too caught up in the world's definition of "success". There's far more to life than money and notoriety.

[@amitnagpal1985]

As usual - fascinating. A computer club in 1968. That’s just incredible.

[@vincentmendola70]

Wow- well said. Very thorough provoking.

Speech is good, but the production ruined it. Cant focus on MGs words with random quotes popping up while creepy new age music plays in the background. feels a bit cultish

Where can we hear the original content without the generic piano and reverb on his voice?

Outliers...there are things you have control...and there are other things you don't have control of .....poverty is created it. ..design to target certain people...is not an accident or a personality weakness

[@synon9m]

Malcolm is awesome

[@leanderian]

Do you know how distracting it is to have quotations or text displayed on the screen that has nothing to do with the accompanying voice-over?

[@ZatoichiRCS]

I was using the age game long before this book was published. Everyone in the league knew it. We all played the game. If you wanted to stay competitive then never select anybody after April of their birth year. NEVER!! This is true in club sports but not necessarily In Olympic type games but not by much. It’s a bit more fair but not past the 6th month of their birth year. Then, there is the money trap. The US is represented by privileged kids not the best. I knew it. Their parents knew it but that’s the US system that prices out the real talent and I was as much part of the system as there could be. It’s just the way it is. If sports was true then blacks would almost exclusively dominate almost all sports. Except soccer, baseball, boxing, Futsal, Archery, Rodeo riding and racing where Hispanics almost completely dominate those sports. In music it’s dominated by blacks and Hispanics. I’ve yet to find outside of exclusionary situations where I’m sorry to hurt feelings but other groups stand zero chance.

[@cartersmith7628]

Is anyone familiar with the recently released book Everyone is an Einstein; and There is an Einstein in Everyone: The Constitution of Genius by author Benjamin Michael? It's a very compelling read!

[@ten-ub4xd]

This 10,000 hour concept is only true if you adopt uncritical practice. With consistent critical practice, targeting on only areas inline with improvement, you can cut this down considerably depending on your discipline. practice doesn't automatically mean improvement , you can practice badly and improve slowly, or you practice smart and get good twice as quick

[@granthurlburt4062]

I forget where I read this (it was an authoritative source), but this "10,000" hrs is overstated and oversimplified. However, basically it has a lot of truth. I held myself back by thinking "gosh I cant do that now" without realizing that you learn things by practice and repetition. And that university (etc.) is harder than grade school, which came easily to me as long as I did 2 hrs of homework a night, which was no trouble.

[@tonyjim7616]

Amazing video but to many ads.

[@BWAcolyte]

way too many ads

[@Luke-db9fc]

Malcolm Gladwell is a writer, not a researcher. And he's a great non-fiction writer. But I know the 10,000 hour rule is arbitrary, because I'm an artist and a writer. I know that if you have no talent in a certain area, no matter how much you practice, you will be no good at it. And time is not a factor.

[@marketinsider7135]

Cannot agree more

[@davidcottrell1308]

@@marketinsider7135 yup...you cannot polish a turd into anything but messy fingers...and smelly ones, at that. :)

Because 98% think someone else knows better and 2% know that is nonsense or was it the other way around ...?

[@excitedaboutlearning1639]

Which Gladwell's book is this a part of?

[@manestreambeauty]

Outliers: The Story of Success

[@christinalynn8143]

This Theory holds little to no relevance imo. It seems certain individuals have declared themselves as the definition of success. Why, the top one percent succeed while everyone else fails? What arrogance?? How's that for arrogance? The definition of success, varies, the answer, to what success is, varies. If someone has told you, you're a nothing, 'take heart', you are someone. If the odds are by majority the standard may provide enough evidence to support the vast majority of people succeed while the limited percentage of individuals fail the vast majority. Albeit, not the point to switch the shift of who succeeds and who ""fails but to provide sense, the definition of success is to the opinion of the individual asked. 🏆🥇🥈🥉🏆🏅🏆

[@geolloyd1351]

he's right on th money

[@robertstewart9447]

Gee Dr. Ben Carson was born poor and reached greatness the top in his field of brain surgery. Thomas Sowell was born poor, Judge Thomas grew up at the poorest rung of the ladder and worked for his grandfather delivering fuel before school. SO I guess somehow personal desire, good parenting, loving home, can overshadow poverty. I purposely pick black men who achieved greatness in academic endeavors. There is always an argument between the importance of nature and nurture; culture and society. At the end of the day I am responsible for my level of achievement at least in the west. By west I mean every culture west of the Ural, east of the 180th degree latitude and 25 degree north. Japan, South Korea and to an extent China have emulated this culture with success.

[@11BusStop]

Are you arguing against Gladwell saying “good parenting” and a “loving home” can lead to success?

[@FrostByte112]

What makes you think that 98% of people aren't succesful? By what measure do you mean "succesful"?

[@faith4today]

Yes, I believe there's a certain truth to what Malcolm says. However, there's some other factors. For example, the biggest one is divine destiny, which I will not go into detail here unless someone is interested in that discussion. Secondly, determination in spite of circumstances. For example, I believe Bill Gates would still have succeeded at building Microsoft whether he would have started earlier than most in a computer club, just as Colonel Sanders did so late in life. The passion for the vision was a major part in sticking with it until it succeeded.

[@marketinsider7135]

Nah, people like colonel sanders are outliers. Maybe bill gates would have worked for apple if he got introduced to computers later in his life.

[@deand6411]

How does Malcolm see things we all don’t.

[@faith4today]

No, there are different kinds of capitalism. It is monopoly capitalism that kills competition. Free market capitalism is good.

[@aquickstory2196]

@@faith4today free market controlled by the great and powerful. It is still a model designed by a few to the advantage of the few with minimum loss for the few.

[@faith4today]

@@aquickstory2196 30.2 million small businesses make up 99.9 percent of ALL businesses in America, according to SBA.gov. With that being said, no one is holding anyone back from starting a business and getting ahead. So it doesn't matter if people like Bill Gates are billionaires since there are 18.6 millionaires that aren't bothered by that. I don't know if you know God, but it seems to me you need to get to know him and allow him to remove the limitations from your thinking... and I am not even a business person, per se, but I know with God, all things are possible for him/her that believes.

jesus that fucking intro music

Flippin genius

What a horrid intro with complete out of place music.

[@Razvanh29]

So, it's not personal qualities and effort that puts someone "at the top". There is some great advice. Or, from another perspective, great (de)motivational speach.

[@coryshea4338]

Just look around you. Are people in positions of power and status because of their character and their work ethic? Or are they typically there because of close connection (by blood or friendship), as well as by being liked (by those who appoint that position). Is our society based off merit or more off nepotism?

[@Razvanh29]

@@coryshea4338 If you have (professional) competence you don't need to hold in a position of power to be successful in life. And you will have status (although not so much need for it). So often, although not always, people ask for (more) power (or privilege) because they are not willing to acquire competence. And yes, this is why we see incompetent people among those in power: because for _some_ power is a substitute. So is false charisma. Friendly advice: rely on competence.

[@coryshea4338]

@@Razvanh29 so youre just going to completely ignore that nepotism exists and imply anyone in a strong position in society without competence got their just by accident. If youre a solo artists, it does ring true that competence can win and often does. But many time it does not, and its much more important who you know or your position handed to you at birth. Youre pretending that companies and systems in our society run off of merit (the most competent get promoted and reach the top eventually). That is not at all how it works, although there are always a few exceptions to the rule. Competence can help someone rise up, but theyll be stopped as soon as someone with leverage over them doesnt like them. thats all it takes for all of their competence to mean nothing. do you understand? One person liking someone else, and not liking you. This is how our society is run. Its the taboo of our culture. this is not a genuine convo in my eyes... take care

[@ruthbanon6049]

I disagree with all this verbiage. Who says 98% aren't successful? What do you mean by "success"? That is a very loose term. Your success is not mine. Addtionally, you make it sound as if some people have legacy and others dont. Not so. Everyone has legacy so that is not the variable. Thats the problem with public speakers who do not have real academic foundation in neither sociology or philosophy. The ideas are so half-baked and popolistic. Alain de Bottom, for instance, knows his philosophy.
