Practice makes perfect right? That’s what we are told when we are young and even when we get older to motivate us to work to improve‚ but is practice really the key to success? Malcolm Gladwell makes an argument on page 40 of his book‚ Outliers that‚ “The emerging picture from such studies is that ten thousand hours of practice is required to achieve the level of mastery associated with being a world class-expert--- in anything.” There are several people who disagree with his thinking.

Dear Dr. Ducking I am still not able to afford a book at this time. Also I did not make time to use the book in the reading room and the library only had the 3rd edition of the book. So I wrote a summary of the class notes that you had put up on blackboard. Chapter 3 Summaries: Chapter 3 talks about descriptive statistics with numerical measures. These measures consist of location and variability. The measures of locations are mean‚ median‚ mode‚ weighted mean‚ geometric mean

Film is a large multi-billion dollar industry in the USA and worldwide overall. Compared to other industries it has a very unique characteristic. For example when it comes to the real estate‚ fashion‚ cars consumer cost will always reflect the cost of manufacturing. If Nissan spends less on manufacturing a car‚ it will charge less than what Rolls Royce would. This rule doesn’t hold in the movie industry. When a person goes to a movie theater they have a wide variety of choices and the price for

The main point that the book and articles revolved around was; what is success‚ and how to define the successful ones. With the spaces between his words you would start to realize that at certain times‚ Gladwell contradicts himself‚ and at the end of the paragraph he would leave you with a question to think about. As I continue to read Outliers and the two articles it made me question
