Inspiration for success
Inspired by this writer for the New York Times:
Malcom_Gladwell
His blog
He was born in the United Kingdom, to an English father who is a civil engineering professor at the University of Waterloo and his mother is a black Jamaican-born psychotherapist, and he was raised in Ontario, Canada.
His new book called Outliers and an extract a story about success and how successful people are as such: it is opportunity, but hard work. He writes in his book that most successful people start young at doing what they really like to do and have done over 10 000 hours of work on their "passion".
What some people have to say about the book and how there are a lot of gladwell0-esk books that use anecdotes to explain science.

Another inspirational writer close to my heart and bones is the paleontologist and evolutionary theorist Stephen Jay Gould.
