His actions in the book will really get people eyes because he stood out a lot. Not only did he defend his self good he also went through obstacles down the road. Martin Luther King Jr. He says that education makes a man the man he is going to become.
Education is the key to success. Martin Luther King r. Loved the way people used education to reach their goals. Martin enjoyed watching people graduating from high school and college. As I go through this program, and later on hopefully getting a job in this field, I will be making amazing pay as a twenty year old.
The thought of it is unreal, but as I get into this field of study, I will continue to think about how big of a role my parents played in my life through all it. I plan to give thanks back by being there for them as they age and being the support system for my family later on in. I feel like the poor and the middle class studnts should go to college for free and the upper class should have to pay folr tuiton because they can afford the.
The United States has had very many heros that served as our presient. Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and George Washington are all heros and were a very important part of our society. They all did everything they could do to make this world a better place, yet they all had their differences in going about doing it.
But i will have to say that the strongest president was Thomas Jefferson. Thomas was one of the smartest men to live and not only was he very smart but he had a desire to constantly learn new things. College graduates make more money because college trains its students to be more responsible, mature, and ready for their careers. Graduates are willing to go the extra mile to learn and make financial sacrifices for the profitable.
A hero is a person who has greatly influenced others by doing extraordinary deeds. These individuals are selfless, brave, and influential. An everyday person can be a hero by achieving amazing feats and change the world for the better. Heroes, such as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Isaac Newton was truly an amazing man, who had made many inventions and discoveries, allowing science to advance in an uncountable amount of ways.
Gladwell is less concerned about the veracity of his claims than he is on whether they get you to think What the Dog Saw p. So he did get me thinking. I think he is was onto something when examining the influence of simple things like birth dates.
So I continued the analysis, but in another direction. The baby boom resulted in a population spike following World War II.
How much of the spike in software millionaires is just due to a spike in population? I performed a simple linear-regression analysis by using the number of US births as the sole predictor for the total number of software millionaires see figure below.
The regression equation is:. While not a perfect predictor, the equation suggests that a a software millionaire birth occurs in about 1 in 14 million births.
With an increase in the population came an increase in software millionaires. Figure 4: Births of software millionaires mirror CEO births across all industries.
This linear relationship is shown below. In other words, the software industry is no different than all other industries.
Coffee, tobacco and banking have been around for hundreds of years yet we are still seeing striking success from pioneers in these less glamorous industries. You just need to be one of those 1 in 14 million.
Gladwell is correct that being born at the right time is critical in being able to take advantage of a major economic shift. Those things belong to the days of the French Revolution. Would you consider upgrading? Me and my Chevy Nova and my Underwood typewriter and my eight track tapes will go down to defeat together! Or is it just sexy is as sexy does? It is that the halo effect of having a cultural icon as their leader is now gone.
I wonder if we will now view the sins being committed in their name in China a little differently now. I think we want the visionaries in the private sector, where they can do the most good—and also do the least damage. How would his vision have fared a decade earlier, or later, for that matter?
Needless to say, that was a long time ago, in a country far away. I tend to be a little skeptical of people who think that things seen or said or experienced, while under the influence, are terribly important.
I mean, if you have ever been the sober one in a room—while everyone else is stoned—you know that what appears profound to everyone else is usually pretty ridiculous. Isaacson seem to have a thread in his narrative that he was becoming more aware of his excesses? On the contrary, he was exquisitely attuned to the feelings and emotions of others. They have no empathy at all. Very curious. Also, love that you have the cahoonies to ask that! Has this surprised you as well?
Is there another single person in this whole world whose abominable behavior professionally and personally would get this special treatment? And what is it about him that we find to be so mitigating that we do not condemn him like we would every other person imaginable?
I mean, people with iphones quite literally touch them more than they touch anything—or anyone—else! When you are that closely connected to something, you tend to idolize the person who created it. I have roughly the same feelings towards the inventors of ESPN. Whether it be Apple, Facebook, Ford or whatever, it seems that this is the only thing we do best now. Interestingly, design is also the main export of countries like Italy….
Their aim is to encourage innovation and succession. The role that the NSF plays in backing basic research is the best example.
