Outliers

The Malcolm Gladwell clip we watched in class the other was very interesting to me. I liked his view on hard work and success and that you have to practise to succeed. I know the saying is “practise makes perfect” but I do not think this is enforce in children today. I think if it is too hard or challenging for a child they give up. Gladwell stated that “talent is the desire to practise”. A skill is not perfected without practise and I think this is an important value that we need to instil in children today.
