好多人會問怎樣才能成功呢? "Outliner: the story of sucess" 可能會給予一個答案。本書的結論好簡單,中國人有話「一命二運三風水。」其次是努力及耐心做一樣野要做得出色, 一萬個小時的最低消費 (This is so called 10000 hours principle.)。講就天下冇敵。本書其實係給做人父母 看多的, 如果自己冇錢又冇時間去take care 小朋友就唔好大期望啦。買條六合彩好過。

黑天鵝本書的結論寫得幾好,可能是我的心情問題啦。以下是一些節錄,同大家分享分享。
"只要是你的决定,放棄一份高薪職位帶來的回報會超過金錢帶來的效用(似乎很瘋狂但我試過並確實如此),這是向命運說" ... (continue) - — Oct 17, 2011 | Add your feedback
