I’ve always felt that the addage; ‘jack of all trades, master of none’ fit me very well. Let’s face it; a non-athlete communications major, seriously? It’s not like I majored in something intensive, communications is the catch all for the students that really don’t know which direction they want to go post college. Accounting majors count stuff for a living, engineering majors, build shit, and physics majors shoot things in and out of the sky. Communications majors….well, mmmm, errr…talk? Which in my twisted, circular logic, brings to me the point of this post. Is success A.) Predetermined B.) Earned through hard work C.) Luck of the draw, or D.) All of the above? I had this article forwarded to me through my twitter account (shameless ‘add’ plug). It was originally posted to the UK’s Guardian website, written by Malcolm Gladwell, check out his article on his take on talented and successful people.
Comment with your thoughts, I’ll post my by the weekend. It’s a good read, just set aside 30+ minutes to get through it.
