| 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.
