Malcolm Gladwell - What makes high-achievers different?

Hi All, the attached video - although a little grainy - is an excellent discussion of Gladwell's thoughts on "Why so some succeed and others fail," encapusulated in his book: Outliers. It's worth spending a little time with, and handily dispels the notion that anyone is truly self-made. Rather, it depends on any other number of variables found in our environment, and related to something as simple as our date of birth. Who'd have thought it? Go figure.

Take a few moments to review and comment on the video clip. What advantages (or disadvantages) do you have. Don't be overly personal, remember this blog is open to the world, but explain whether or not you agree with the clip, and give some supporting evidence as to why you believe that is the case.
