Outliers: The Story of Success  by Malcolm Gladwell

Malcolm Gladwell

Before I comment on the briefing attended before, let me introduce a little bit about Malcolm Gladwell. He was born in September 3, 1963 in Fareham, Hampshire, United Kingdom. He has work as Canadian journalist, bestselling author and speaker. He also has written four book, The Tipping Point(2000), Blink (2005), Outliers (2008), and What the Dog Saw: And Other Adventures (2009), a collection of his journalism. All four books were New York Times Bestseller. 

Back to the briefing this morning, we were comments on how good this book to be reading, especially when you have a free time. This book have two parts which are opportunity and legacy. At part of opportunity, we were given examples such as the musical ensemble The Beatles and Microsoft's creator Bill Gates. We are also have been told about the trouble faced by genius like Christoper Langan, who ended up working on a horse farm in rural despite having an IQ of 195 (higher that Albert Einstein IQ of 150 - claims by Gladwell) because of the environment he grew up in. With no one in Langan's life and nothing in his background to help him take advantage of his exceptional gifts, he had to find success by himself.

The next part is legacy. Under this portion, we have been explain about The Ethnic Theory of Plane Crashes, Rice Paddies & Math Test, A Jamacian Stody and more.

What can I conclude here is it was a good briefing and it should be continue in a future. With this, people can get another knowledge besides fil free time with useful activities. 

I think it was enough so far. Hope you like it.

If I have 1 million dollar, what should I do?

Easy question... But I think it was to subjective for everyone to answer.


Back to our topic is 'What should I do if I have 1 million dollars?' As all of us know 1 million is not a small amount. So, the first thing cross on my mind is I want to use that 1 million dollars to buy a land that have such a beautiful view like an ocean view just for my parent. On that land, I want to build their dreaming house. I will make sure what they only dream before this was successful achieve by me. I want they being proud with me.

Next, I want to pay off all loans like PTPTN loans with that money. It is because I am not willing to live with the pile of debt! It will give me a headache.

With a lot amount of money, I also want to travel to all places of interest in the world like to play at Hong Kong Disneyland Theme Parks, visit the Eiffel Tower, posing with tulips in Sydney and more.

Last but not least, what would I do if I had 1 million dollars is that will make an investments by purchasing shares of the famous company. This is because the investment will have many benefit in the future for me.

I think it far enough in advance. If it was to long, i will also be bored to read.
