Malcolm Gladwell on Practice
Posted in Quotes | Be first to comment
“Practice isn’t the thing you do once you’re good. It’s the thing you do that makes you good.”
–Malcolm Gladwell (1963 – )
Canadian journalist
Give more insight…
Gladwell’s most recent bestseller (Outliers: The Story of Success) is well worth the time – some great insights on what it takes to succeed.
The hard work piece you already know (hopefully). It’s the impact of luck and culture that are pretty fascinating.
Here’s…
- the author’s Q&A on the book (it’s his site – the excerpts there are a bit weak)
- the prologue to the book (the publisher’s site – an interesting story about community and its impact on health)
- a 3-minutes video clip where Gladwell talks about the front work that goes into the "overnight success"
(Is there something you should be practicing?)
