Outliers: The Story of Success: Gladwell, Malcolm

 Really a good book. 

The opportunity is not the only scale where your success depends, timing and situation play a big role. Those who only show you the right faces of the scene are biased about history. 

Britishers teach their kids that they are the ones who civilized the world during their colonization, they were not like now. Hence, their ancestor was born with great vision and aim.

They are not taught that they are the ones whose oppression was so cruel that it shamed humanity on large scale.

Farmers in Asian countries are more hard worker than a farmer working in the USA. Some Farmer from Japan, China, and some other Asian countries were spending 3000 hours a year in the field for rice crop in early 1900. The students from these countries are the same as their ancestor who spends maximum time in the crop field,  they spent more time in the library than others.
