823c4c54_aNobii___s_note__Outliers__Original_text | [0] 181 [Comment] Chapter 5: THE THREE LESSONS OF JOEFLOM [Original text] | Success is not a random act. It arises out of a predictable and powerful set of circumstances and opportunities, and at this point, after examining the lives of Bill Joy and Bill Gates, pro hockey players and geniuses, and Joe Flom, the Janklows, and the Borgenichts, it shouldn't be hard to figure out where the perfect lawyer comes from. | [] | aNobii: 's note: Outliers | Original text | http://www.anobii.com/note_person?personId=0139a5c762d9f71543&itemId=01fc8dde3ffc1c357a | 4/1438042991076.30_20150728002311-00038-ip-10-236-191-2_282258386_1.json |
823c4c54_aNobii___s_note__Outliers__Original_text | [0] 182 [Comment] Chapter 5: THE THREE LESSONS OF JOEFLOM [Original text] | there is a perfect birth date for a New York Jewish lawyer as well. It's 1930, because that would give the lawyer the benefit of a blessedly small generation. It would also make him forty years of age in 1970, when the revolution in the legal world first began, which translates to a healthy fifteen-year Hamburg period in the takeover business while the white-shoe lawyers lingered, oblivious, over their two-martini lunches. If you want to be a great New York lawyer, it is an advantage to be an outsider, and it is an advantage to have parents who did meaningful work, and, better still, it is an advantage to have been born in the early 1930s. But if you have all three advantages—on top of a good dose of ingenuity and drive—then that's an unstoppable combination. That's like being a hockey player born on January 1. | [] | aNobii: 's note: Outliers | Original text | http://www.anobii.com/note_person?personId=0139a5c762d9f71543&itemId=01fc8dde3ffc1c357a | 4/1438042991076.30_20150728002311-00038-ip-10-236-191-2_282258386_1.json |

823c4c54_aNobii___s_note__Outliers__Original_text | [0] 198 [Comment] Chapter 6: Harlan, Kentucky [Original text] | I realize that we are often wary of making these kinds of broad generalizations about different cultural groups—and with good reason. This is the form that racial and ethnic stereotypes take. We want to believe that we are not prisoners of our ethnic histories. But the simple truth is that if you want to understand what happened in those small towns in Kentucky in the nineteenth century, you have to go back into the past—and not just one or two generations. You have to go back two or three or four hundred years, to a country on the other side of the ocean, and look closely at what exactly the people in a very specific geographic area of that country did for a living. The "culture of honor" hypothesis says that it matters where you're from, not just in terms of where you grew up or where your parents grew up, but in terms of where your great-grandparents and great-great-grandparents grew up and even where your great-great-great-grandparents grew up. That is a strange and powerful fact. It's just the beginning, though, because upon closer examination, cultural legacies turn out to be even stranger and more powerful than that. | [] | aNobii: 's note: Outliers | Original text | http://www.anobii.com/note_person?personId=0139a5c762d9f71543&itemId=01fc8dde3ffc1c357a | 4/1438042991076.30_20150728002311-00038-ip-10-236-191-2_282258386_1.json |

823c4c54_aNobii___s_note__Outliers__Original_text | [0] 273 [Comment] Chapter 8: RICE PADDIES AND MATH TESTS [Original text] | Historically, Western agriculture is "mechanically" oriented. In the West, if a farmer wanted to become more efficient or increase his yield, he introduced more and more sophisticated equipment, which allowed him to replace human labor with mechanical labor: a threshing machine, a hay baler, a combine harvester, a tractor. He cleared another field and increased his acreage, because now his machinery allowed him to work more land with the same amount of effort. But in Japan or China, farmers didn't have the money to buy equipment—and, in any case, there certainly wasn't any extra land that could easily be converted into new fields. So rice farmers improved their yields by becoming smarter, by being better managers of their own time, and by making better choices. As the anthropologist Francesca Bray puts it, rice agriculture is "skill oriented": if you're willing to weed a bit more diligently, and become more adept at fertilizing, and spend a bit more time monitoring water levels, and do a better job keeping the claypan absolutely level, and make use of every square inch of your rice paddy, you'll harvest a bigger crop. Throughout history, not surprisingly, the people who grow rice have always worked harder than almost any other kind of farmer. That last statement may seem a little odd, because most of us have a sense that everyone in the premodern world worked really hard. But that simply isn't true. All of us, for example, are descended at some point from untergatherers, and many hunter-gatherers, by all accounts, had a pretty leisurely life. The !Kung bushmen of the Kalahari Desert, in Botswana, who are one of the last remaining practitioners of that way of life, subsist on a rich assortment of fruits, berries, roots, and nuts—in particular the mongongo nut, an incredibly plentiful and protein-rich source of food that lies thick on the ground. They don't grow anything, and it is growing things—preparing, planting, weeding, harvesting, storing—that takes time. Nor do they raise any animals. Occasionally, the male !Kung hunt, but chiefly for sport. All told, !Kung men and women work no more than about twelve to nineteen hours a week, with the balance of the time spent dancing, entertaining, and visiting family and friends. That's, at most, one thousand hours of work a year. (When a bushman was asked once why his people hadn't taken to agriculture, he looked puzzled and said, "Why should we plant, when there are so many mongongo nuts in the world?") Or consider the life of a peasant in eighteenth-century Europe. Men and women in those days probably worked from dawn to noon two hundred days a year, which works out to about twelve hundred hours of work annually. During harvest or spring planting, the day might be longer. In the winter, much less. In The Discovery of France, the historian Graham Robb argues that peasant life in a country like France, even well into the nineteenth century, was essentially brief episodes of work followed by long periods of idleness. | [] | aNobii: 's note: Outliers | Original text | http://www.anobii.com/note_person?personId=0139a5c762d9f71543&itemId=01fc8dde3ffc1c357a | 4/1438042991076.30_20150728002311-00038-ip-10-236-191-2_282258386_1.json |
823c4c54_aNobii___s_note__Outliers__Original_text | [0] 276 [Comment] Chapter 8: RICE PADDIES AND MATH TESTS [Original text] | What redeemed the life of a rice farmer, however, was the nature of that work. It was a lot like the garment work done by the Jewish immigrants to New York. It was meaningful. First of all, there is a clear relationship in rice farming between effort and reward. The harder you work a rice field, the more it yields. Second, it's complex work. The rice farmer isn't simply planting in the spring and harvesting in the fall. He or she effectively runs a small business, juggling a family workforce, hedging uncertainty through seed selection, building and managing a sophisticated irrigation system, and coordinating the complicated process of harvesting the first crop while simultaneously preparing the second crop. And, most of all, it's autonomous. The peasants of Europe worked essentially as low-paid slaves of an aristocratic landlord, with little control over their own destinies. But China and Japan never developed that kind of oppressive feudal system, because feudalism simply can't work in a rice economy. Growing rice is too complicated and intricate for a system that requires farmers to be coerced and bullied into going out into the fields each morning. By the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, landlords in central and Southern China had an almost completely hands-off relationship with their tenants: they would collect a fixed rent and let farmers go about their business. | [] | aNobii: 's note: Outliers | Original text | http://www.anobii.com/note_person?personId=0139a5c762d9f71543&itemId=01fc8dde3ffc1c357a | 4/1438042991076.30_20150728002311-00038-ip-10-236-191-2_282258386_1.json |
823c4c54_aNobii___s_note__Outliers__Original_text | [0] 279 [Comment] Chapter 8: RICE PADDIES AND MATH TESTS [Original text] | But a belief in work ought to be a thing of beauty. Virtually every success story we've seen in this book so far involves someone or some group working harder than their peers. Bill Gates was addicted to his computer as a child. So was Bill Joy. The Beatles put in thousands of hours of practice in Hamburg. Joe Flom ground away for years, perfecting the art of takeovers, before he got his chance. Working really hard is what successful people do, and the genius of the culture formed in the rice paddies is that hard work gave those in the fields a way to find meaning in the midst of great uncertainty and poverty. That lesson has served Asians well in many endeavors but rarely so perfectly as in the case of mathematics. | [] | aNobii: 's note: Outliers | Original text | http://www.anobii.com/note_person?personId=0139a5c762d9f71543&itemId=01fc8dde3ffc1c357a | 4/1438042991076.30_20150728002311-00038-ip-10-236-191-2_282258386_1.json |
823c4c54_aNobii___s_note__Outliers__Original_text | [0] 288 [Comment] Chapter 8: RICE PADDIES AND MATH TESTS [Original text] | We sometimes think of being good at mathematics as an innate ability. You either have "it" or you don't. But to Schoenfeld, it's not so much ability as attitude. You master mathematics if you are willing to try. That's what Schoenfeld attempts to teach his students. Success is a function of persistence and doggedness and the willingness to work hard for twenty-two minutes to make sense of something that most people would give up on after thirty seconds. Put a bunch of Renees in a classroom, and give them the space and time to explore mathematics for themselves, and you could go a long way. Or imagine a country where Renee's doggedness is not the exception, but a cultural trait, embedded as deeply as the culture of honor in the Cumberland Plateau. Now that would be a country good at math. | [] | aNobii: 's note: Outliers | Original text | http://www.anobii.com/note_person?personId=0139a5c762d9f71543&itemId=01fc8dde3ffc1c357a | 4/1438042991076.30_20150728002311-00038-ip-10-236-191-2_282258386_1.json |
823c4c54_aNobii___s_note__Outliers__Original_text | [0] 297 [Comment] Chapter 9: Marita’s Bargain [Original text] | But in Western agriculture, the opposite is true. Unless a wheat- or cornfield is left fallow every few years, the soil becomes exhausted. Every winter, fields are empty. The hard labor of spring planting and fall harvesting is followed, like clockwork, by the slower pace of summer and winter. This is the logic the reformers applied to the cultivation of young minds. We formulate new ideas by analogy, working from what we know toward what we don't know, and what the reformers knew were the rhythms of the agricultural seasons. A mind must be cultivated. But not too much, lest it be exhausted. And what was the remedy for the dangers of exhaustion? The long summer vacation—a peculiar and distinctive American legacy that has had profound consequences for the learning patterns of the students of the present day. | [] | aNobii: 's note: Outliers | Original text | http://www.anobii.com/note_person?personId=0139a5c762d9f71543&itemId=01fc8dde3ffc1c357a | 4/1438042991076.30_20150728002311-00038-ip-10-236-191-2_282258386_1.json |

823c4c54_aNobii___s_note__Outliers__Original_text | [0] 313 [Comment] Chapter 9: Marita’s Bargain [Original text] | How could that be a bad bargain? Everything we have learned in Outliers says that success follows a predictable course. It is not the brightest who succeed. If it were, Chris Langan would be up there with Einstein. Nor is success simply the sum of the decisions and efforts we make on our own behalf. It is, rather, a gift. Outliers are those who have been given opportunities—and who have had the strength and presence of mind to seize them. For hockey and soccer players born in January, it's a better shot at making the all-star team. For the Beatles, it was Hamburg. For Bill Gates, the lucky break was being born at the right time and getting the gift of a computer terminal in junior high. Joe Flom and the founders of Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen and Katz got multiple breaks. They were born at the right time with the right parents and the right ethnicity, which allowed them to practice takeover law for twenty years before the rest of the legal world caught on. And what Korean Air did, when it finally turned its operations around, was give its pilots the opportunity to escape the constraints of their cultural legacy. The lesson here is very simple. But it is striking how often it is overlooked. We are so caught in the myths of the best and the brightest and the self-made that we think outliers spring naturally from the earth. We look at the young Bill Gates and marvel that our world allowed that thirteen-year-old to become a fabulously successful entrepreneur. But that's the wrong lesson. Our world only allowed one thirteen-year-old unlimited access to a timesharing terminal in 1968. If a million teenagers had been given the same opportunity, how many more Microsofts would we have today? To build a better world we need to replace the patchwork of lucky breaks and arbitrary advantages that today determine success—the fortunate birth dates and the happy accidents of history—with a society that provides opportunities for all. If Canada had a second hockey league for those children born in the last half of the year, it would today have twice as many adult hockey stars. Now multiply that sudden flowering of talent by every field and profession. The world could be so much richer than the world we have settled for. | [] | aNobii: 's note: Outliers | Original text | http://www.anobii.com/note_person?personId=0139a5c762d9f71543&itemId=01fc8dde3ffc1c357a | 4/1438042991076.30_20150728002311-00038-ip-10-236-191-2_282258386_1.json |
823c4c54_aNobii___s_note__Outliers__Original_text | [0] 334 [Comment] Epilogue [Original text] | It is not easy to be so honest about where we're from. It would be simpler for my mother to portray her success as a straightforward triumph over victimhood, just as it would be simpler to look at Joe Flom and call him the greatest lawyer ever—even though his individual achievements are so impossibly intertwined with his ethnicity, his generation, the particulars of the garment industry, and the peculiar biases of the downtown law firms. Bill Gates could accept the title of genius, and leave it at that. It takes no small degree of humility for him to look back on his life and say, "I was very lucky." And he was. The Mothers' Club of Lakeside Academy bought him a computer in 1968. It is impossible for a hockey player, or Bill Joy, or Robert Oppenheimer, or any other outlier for that matter, to look down from their lofty perch and say with truthfulness, "I did this, all by myself." Superstar lawyers and math whizzes and software entrepreneurs appear at first blush to lie outside ordinary experience. But they don't. They are products of history and community, of opportunity and legacy. Their success is not exceptional or mysterious. 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 are. The outlier, in the end, is not an outlier at all. | [] | aNobii: 's note: Outliers | Original text | http://www.anobii.com/note_person?personId=0139a5c762d9f71543&itemId=01fc8dde3ffc1c357a | 4/1438042991076.30_20150728002311-00038-ip-10-236-191-2_282258386_1.json |
