More From Malcolm Gladwell

Once a musician has enough ability to get into a top music school, the thing that distinguishes one performer from another is how hard he or she works. that's it. and what's more, the people at the very top don't work just harder or even much harder than everyone else. they work much, much harder.
Success Music School
It'd be negligent to say that i don't want to be at the top of the charts. of course i do, it's proof that your song is being heard. but i think it's more about the work for me and being proud of what i'm doing in music than what people think about my music. i want to like my music before you like it. i don't want to sell anything that i don't really like. i don't want to sell myself short just to get to the top of the charts. it doesn't feel that great. feeling proud of your work feels greater than being at the top of the charts.
Song Thinking People
I'm at the top, top, top of my game now. i'm so happy to be on that stage, i'm in control of it, and i love every minute of it. i walk onstage in rehearsal and i start to smile. and so i just don't care what anyone else is doing. do what you want, say what you want. nobody else can do what i do onstage. nobody.
Care
For young players, their minds are not overloaded. i am 54 with four kids and i do many other things. even if i stopped everything else, spent months working just on chess, for a long match against most of the top players, a classical match, six hours, say, i don't stand a chance. i have a better chance in shorter matches. rapid is 25 minutes, or blitz events where you have five minutes to make a move, or bullet games, where it is one minute. for blitz, five-minutes chess, i would be top ten, top five. but longer games, no chance.
Moving Kids Player
I do not think everyone is created equal. in fact, i know they're not. [the constitution] means that everyone should have the same laws as everyone else. it doesn't mean that everyone's as smart or as cute or as lucky as everyone else.
Cute Smart Mean
Everyone feels awkward, everyone feels uncomfortable, everyone gets older, everyone gets lonely, everyone gets sick, everyone eventually dies. you’re at the aspen ideas fest, and you have these really smart, really accomplished people who pretend like they’ve somehow figured out a way to bypass the human condition. we live in this culture where there are so many things that want us to pretend that we’re not truly human.

But a day must come when the fire of youth will be quenched in my veins, when winter will dwell in my heart, when his snow flakes will whiten my locks, and his mists will dim my eyes. then my friends will lie in their lonely grave, and i alone will remain like a solitary stalk forgotten by the reaper.

The cinema has the power to make you not feel lonely, even when you are.
Lonely Loneliness Cinema
Let us not underestimate how hard it is to be compassionate. compassion is hard because it requires the inner disposition to go with others to place where they are weak, vulnerable, lonely, and broken. but this is not our spontaneous response to suffering. what we desire most is to do away with suffering by fleeing from it or finding a quick cure for it.
Lonely Compassion Broken
The more powerful and original a mind, the more it will incline towards the religion of solitude.
