A great read.

Currently I'm reading this book entitled Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell.
Having too little time to read it.

During the recent camps I would spend 15 minutes every night reading it.
It has given me some ideas and knowledge to share with the students; like the 10,000 hour rule, why in the US, professional athletes are born mostly in Jan,Feb and March and ultimately how people achieve success mostly not from their own means but from the circumstances and and the family they are born into.

This guy is brilliant.
He wrote about anything under the sun and while you're reading it, you would always manage an exclamation in your mind,"Why didn't I think of that?"

There was this chapter he talked about Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. How did they become successful. They are both born in 1955 and when they were in their late teens and early twenties, it was the era of Information Technology. He wrote about how in their situations they were granted unconditional access to mainframe computers which at that time costs millions of dollars.

It was because of that fortunate circumstances they were in that they had more exposure to it and had an early start in achieving 10,000 hours of practice which eventually gave them the mastery of the skill.

If I had a chance to speak to the sports school students again, I would certainly ask them to try and record down the number of hours of practice they had since they started. And if they were guaranteed and olympic medal if they clocked 10,000 hours of training, what will they do?

Hmmm...Okay enough about the book already.. I dun wanna bore myself to death.

What happened today?
Stayed home most of the day today till i set off to town in the evening.
Well caught Narnia 3 with zul,ila,wee and mike.
Was almost late cos of a short traffic jam on the CTE.
Reached Cine and God was on my side cos i managed to get a parking lor in less than 5mins.
About the movie, Th special effects were great!
There were some shock-you-till-you-jerk moments which i dun really fancy.
Not forgetting the moments of so-intense-that-you-raise-your-legs-wanting-to-run-away kind.
Zul was practically laughing at me.

Overall great fun!

Getting tired now..
Update again soon!
