Success and failure--on the book of the Heterogeneous

After reading the "Alien", we know that success is not as simple as imagined.
Knowing this book is because of the 10,000-hour law, which presumably means that a person who insists on focusing on a field for 10,000 hours can become an expert in the field. This theory gives me confidence, I just stick to ten years, maybe I can complete my dream, compared to the whole life, ten years time is not much. The two days off and on and on, changed my view of success.
The beginning of the Matthew Effect, any, to add to him, give him more than, not even his all have to take over. Because it comes from the New Testament Matthew, the effect is called the Matthew Effect. For a simple and delicious chestnut, the better the students, the easier they will be to gain more resources and become more excellent. The author first spoke about the relationship between the birth month of the outstanding team member, revealed that the success actually and the birth month has the very big relationship, this very much depends on the region's selection time, perhaps in China you may discover, the university entrance Examination good big part is in the college entrance examination several months to be born. By extension, people who have been very successful in the computer age, such as Bill Gates Bircho Ichobs, have revealed their successes and opportunities, just as they were born in the last 65 years or so, and they grew up just in the wave of computer development, now look at those internet bosses today, Not all stand on the tide of the internet before they started. If they were not born in this age, their names would not be known to all.
Then there is the famous 10,000-hour law, the book points out: "People in the eyes of the genius is extraordinary, not gifted Superman first-class, but paid a continuous effort." As long as after 10,000 hours of tempering, anyone can become extraordinary from the ordinary. He called it "the 10,000-hour law". To become an expert in a field, it takes 10,000 hours to scale: if you work eight hours a day and work five days a week, it takes at least five years to become an expert in a field. This is the 10,000-hour law and the core idea of the book, which is consistent with the practice of practice in China.
Our general view is that smart people are certainly more promising, and this book reveals this myth. Perhaps the first thing you want to achieve in a certain field is that you can't be too stupid, but the wiser the better. In fact, the book says, Einstein's IQ is 150, the world's IQ than he is a lot of people, but it can be said that almost all the achievements of the person is far less than him. The higher the IQ, the less obvious the advantages, similar to marginal effects. The book has a lot of examples to show that IQ is not a decisive part of success, but the normal IQ is essential. The book mentions several people with very high IQ, but his life is not much achievement, through a large number of data surveys show that even if a person has a high IQ, its future development will be largely influenced by the parents, the environment. In my view, the impact of the environment is the most important.
The first part of the success, then the second part of the story is failure. Successful people are the same success, failure of the people have their own failure. Another example of the book, failure is sometimes the accumulation of small problems, quantitative changes caused by qualitative changes. And once again the importance of the environment, which coincides with our traditional concept of "adversity of talent," contrary to. I think the possible reason is that people in adversity are often used as news, even after dinner, so that everyone is more familiar with, so give us a kind of adversity in the minds of many people.
The book presents three elements of success: environment, personal endeavor, opportunity. In our traditional thoughts, we tend to put our efforts in the first place and neglect the environment. In high school, we tried to test a good school, and soon it is good to have a good school environment. Now many parents, only know to urge their children to work hard, but they do not play a role model, smoking and drinking all day, the child in such an environment how to grow.
