Malcolm Gladwell
It wasn't an excuse. It was a fact. He'd had to make his way alone, and no one - not rock stars, not professional athletes, not software billionaires, and not even geniuses - ever makes it alone.
Malcolm Gladwell
Poverty is not deprivation, it is isolation.

Malcolm Gladwell
I think actually the marketing community is approaching a crisis: There are just too many messages competing for too little attention. That is the fundamental problem.
Malcolm Gladwell
An incredibly high percentage of successful entrepreneurs are dyslexic. That's one of the little-known facts.
Malcolm Gladwell
If everyone has to think outside the box, maybe it is the box that needs fixing.
Malcolm Gladwell
I'm a purist: I start to wrinkle my nose when the Cold War ends.
Malcolm Gladwell
A radical and transformative thought goes nowhere without the willingness to challenge convention.
Malcolm Gladwell
To be someone's best friend requires a minimum investment of time. More than that, though, it takes emotional energy. Caring about someone deeply is exhausting.
Malcolm Gladwell
The key to good decision making is not knowledge. It is understanding. We are swimming in the former. We are desperately lacking in the latter.
Malcolm Gladwell
Nobody accomplishes success by themselves.
Malcolm Gladwell
Change your mind about something significant every day.
