classical music picks its future virtususos, or the way the world of ballet picks its future ballerinas, or the way our elite educational system picks its future scientists and intellectuals. You can't buy your way into Major Junior A hockey. It doesnt matter who your father or mother is, or who your grandfather was, or what family business your family is in. Nor does it matter if you live in the most remote corner of the most northerly province in Canada. If you have ability, the vast network of hockey scouts talent spotters will find you, and if you are willing to work to develop that ability, the system will reward you. Success in hockey is based on individual merit--and both of those words are important. Players are judged on their performance, not on anyone elses, and on the basis of their ability, not on some other arbitrary fact. Or are they? This is a book about Outlines, about men and women who do things that are out of the ordinary. Over the course of the chapters ahead, I'm going to introduce you to one kind of outline after another: to geniuses, business tycoons, rock stars, and even software programmers. We're going to uncover the secrets of a remarkable lawyer who made me very hard, look at what separates the very best pilots from pilots who have crashed planes, and try to figure out why Asians are so good at math. And in examining the lives of the remarkable among us--the skilled, the talented, and the driven, and why they are so sexy-- I will argue that there is something profoundly wrong with the way we make sense of success. All of this will be in the next chapter, if this one was good at details, explaining, etc... Please comment about it! Even if you arent logged in!
