The Year You Are Born In Matter

In the 1860s and 1870s, the American economy went through perhaps the greatest transformation in its history (when rail road built and wall street emerge).

  • If you were born in the late 1840s you missed it. You were too young to take advantage of that moment
  • If you were born in the 1820s you were too old: your mind-set was shaped by the pre-Civil War paradigm.
  • But there was a particular, narrow nine year window (1830s) that was just perfect for seeing the potential that the future held.

  • This doesn't means that every software tycoon in Silicon Valley was born in 1955, or every business titan in United States was born in mid 1830s
  • But there are very clear patterns and what's striking is how little we seem to want to acknowledge them. We pretend that success is exclusively a matter of individual merit.
  • They are the people who were given a special opportunity to work really hard and seized it, and who happened to come of age at a time when that extraordinary effort was rewarded by the rest of society

The other interesting thing about that ten thousand hours, of course, is that ten thousand hours is an enormous amount of time. It's all but impossible to reach that number all by yourself by the time you're a young adult. You have to have parents who encourage and support you. You can't be poor, because if you have to hold down a part-time job on the side to help make ends meet, there won't be time left in the day to practice enough. In fact, most people can reach that number only if they get into some kind of special program-like a hockey all-star squad.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
