Meaningful Work through Passion, not Genius
Loading...
Uploaded by SavolaFoodsAcademy on Nov 29, 2008
At the Dreamforce conference in San Francisco, Malcolm Gladwell, author of "Blink" and the upcoming "Outliers," gives two examples of hard work that later looked like genius. Bill Gates got up at 2am to program as a teenager, while the Beatles played together 1200 times, far more than most bands, before they ever got famous. Success, he believes, is the result of putting your heart and mind into something to create successful, meaningful work.

@guitarrookie1974 Yes, but you like the generic Hot Topic "Punk" (lol) guitarrist "mahalodotcom" ?

I understand what he is saying..but the Beatles were not that special to me
-
A believe in meaninful work: that's the only intelligent thing he said.
-
Really? Wow...
-
I usually say I don't like Gladwell, but I agree with everything he said.
I think the problem is less what Malcom Gladwell says and more what people that read Malcom Gladwell say.
I don't hear him saying anything deconstructing the self-made man like so many claim, or saying that people can not win success for themselves. In fact, quite the opposite.

The Beatles could do that because they were taking preludin (potent upper) around the clock.
-
Hard work baby!!
-
@Haseeb2 You're right on with that statement.

Another thing... No one can convince me that someone who spends much of his time in high school waking up at 2AM in the morning to program computers, then somehow is able almost max out on his SAT and get admitted to Harvard, just worked hard. It takes a lot of environmental conditioning for that to happen.
