    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

    Book Preview: #1 The American Dream encourages individuals to achieve greatness, but is it true. Many who have reached the top in sport or any other field choose to tell their stories with the American Dream attributes of speed, guile, and adaptability. But these are not always the attributes that elevate people above others.

    #2 Mr. Charters was a teacher at the local primary school, a tall man with a mustache and a twinkle in his eye. He was the coach of almost all the after-school sporting clubs, the manager of the school soccer team, and the organizer of school sports day.

    #3 Omega Table Tennis Club was a one-table hut in a gravel enclosure a couple of miles from where we lived in suburban Reading. It was cold in winter, ferociously hot in summer, and had plants growing through the roof and floor. But it had one advantage that made it unique: it was open 24 hours a day for the exclusive use of its members.

    #4 The biographical bias is the tendency to believe that success is driven by ability and hard work, when in reality, it is not. Every successful person has been fortunate enough to live in a specific place and time, with a specific family background, that allowed them to learn and work hard.

But these are not always the attributes that elevate people above others.

      The biographical bias is the tendency to believe that success is driven by ability and hard work, when in reality, it is not. Every successful person has been fortunate enough to live in a specific place and time, with a specific family background, that allowed them to learn and work hard.

      #5

      The idea that natural talent determines success and failure is so powerful today that it is accepted without question. It seems impossible to achieve similar results if given the same opportunities.

      #6

      In 1991, psychologists Anders Ericsson and colleagues conducted the most extensive investigation of the causes of outstanding performance. They found that the best violinists had practiced an average of ten thousand hours, more than two thousand hours more than the good violinists and more than six thousand hours more than the violinists hoping to become music teachers.
