An inspiring essay on the "Outliers" and on the reasons for their unicity and their success. The Outliers are those, who were given an opportunity and who have had the strenght and the presence of mind to seize it. They took advantage of the circumstances that came their way. The unbeatable Malcolm Gladwell, with usual and painstaking search of examples, tells the stories of famous people and communities to explain that the Outliers are not possessing just the talent, but they put hard work, receive a bit of luck and encounter favourable events, which let them to build their success. Outliers are products of history and community, of opportunity and legacy. Their success is not ecceptional or mysterios. It is grounded in a web of advantages and inheritances, some deserved, some not, some earned, some just plain lucky. But all critical to making them who they're. The outlier, in the end, is not an outlier at all.
