12/12(Sat) Outliers: The Story of Success (host:Howard)

文章 howard1229 »

Dear Yoyos,

I’m be honored to host this Saturday's meeting. Since I joined Yoyo I met many friends working in different professional fields or full of experience in particular areas. I found out “Outliers” is one of my favorite books fit for Yoyo outliers to discuss.

The video of this book:

THE 6 KEY POINTS IN THE BOOK

1) Opportunity knocks for some (e.g. birthdates, in the right place, etc)

2) Timing – Critical to success and opportunity.

3) Upbringing leads to opportunity – The quality of upbringing a child has been shown to be a key determinant on future success (even more so than pure IQ).

4) 10,000 hours – takes that amount of time to ‘master’ something. People with an opportunity have the chance to ‘do’ the 10,000 hours. Others don’t.

5) Meaningful work – If you feel there is a real purpose to your work, it’s more likely you will work hard.

6) Cultural legacy – Our Values drive our behavior. Our values are often passed down from generation to
generation (e.g. The Koreans are very deferential to authority, which led to a series of plane crashes; Asians are better ability at math



Questions for Discussion

Session One:
Opportunity, Timing, 10000 hours rule

1.Do you think success is a matter of luck as Arthur said? If you lack opportunity in your environment how can you overcome this situation?

2. Timing is the one of important factors for success story of life. Have you even catch good timing on your carrier, a good relationship, or any position you want to get? How can you find out that or just luck?

3. What kind of skill or the job your think requires 10000 hours can be master?
Have you experienced 10000 hours of practice learning any skill?
What's the reason driving you want to be?

Session Two:
Cultural legacy

4. Korean Air suffered 17 times between 1988 and 1998 due to very deferential to authority.
How comes speak English in the cockpit made totally change the mindset of native Korean pilots and made flight safer? Have you experienced in changing the language you speak as changing your mindset? Please share your experience

5.Author mentioned about language and farming practices made Asians learning math better than Westerners. Are you agree with this idea he said? Or you have a better idea

6. Under Covin19 we keep maximum freedom and maintain normal life since outbreak.
What kind of cultural legacy help us overcome this pandemic?
