College Reading List discussion

I really enjoyed this book and mixed with the things that I picked up from Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking I feel that I have gotten a much better look on myself and how to get what I want. I put this book on here because I feel that it is a good back that will help you open your mind and inspirations. I really liked the 10,000 hour rule as it shows that it really does take hard work and dedication to get places in life. Please add what things that you have found helpful in this book or share a story which correlates with what Malcom Gladwell wrote about.

I recently finished Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talkingand really enjoyed it. Many of her points resonated with my personality. Helped to explain some of my characteristics. I haven't read Gladwell's book, but I heard Cain on a live feed share that Gladwell's work powerfully impacted and affected her style of writing.

Yes, I had heard of the 10,000 hour rule before. It makes sense. I started taking violin lessons eight years ago. Before starting lessons I had heard of neuromuscular memory, but learning the violin demonstrated just what an amazing gift it is. Repetitive practice, IMHO, seems to improve one's skill, advance one understanding of the principles and techniques involved, and give one the opportunity to gain extremely good neuromuscular memory. A master level cellist shared that she would practice a specific technique on her cello for hours at a time in order to perfect it. You are right that it is an amazing amount of dedication.

Sounds like I need to pick up Gladwell's book!

Causes me to think about Big Data and what projections might be possible with the collection of big sociological data.
