As I continue my reading through the book Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell, his research and ideas continue to intrigue me and make it hard for the book to be out of my sight. A new idea he has brought up is the 10,000 hour theory, where one must have done something for 10,000 hours to perfect it. His ideas of success also are eye-opening but I want to ask Mr.Gladwell some questions. So I am going to write what my letter will say to Mr.Gladwell.
Dear Mr.Gladwell,
You are an amazing writer who can make a boring subject very fascinating. Your ideas have left an impression on me but at the same time I try to find flaws in ideas. One question I have for you is, do you believe that your ideas on success are foolproof? I have heard of many "successful" people, who seem to have just gotten lucky they don't have talent they just have an incident that just puts them in the public's eye. I am sure you have had heard this question many a time and have a very well tought out answer by now. Another question for you, is do you consider yourself a successful person? If so, could explain your theory and ideas in terms of your story of success. How have you become such a successful writer? Does your birthday have to do anything with how you became successful? These are just a few of the questions that have popped up in my mind while reading you book, Outliers, which I believe is an amazing book. It is just great, but as my teachers says, "you can't have a good opinion on something unless you have a degree in Enlish". Thank you for your time to read this and hopefully you can get back to me.
Sincerely,
Jason
