Outliers Journal 2

  I have finished the book so now I am ready to further connect to it. In the Rice Paddies and Math Tests chapter, I could connect with it because I am chinese and good at math, but I never learned how to add or subtract the chinese way. I believe that the nurture of my chinese parents helped me to be so great at math. The main focus of part one of the book said that I was born in a certain time that allows me to be "gifted" and it's just luck. I found that pretty intriguing because I find my life pretty well and I consider myself pretty intelligent, but I don't see many crazy factors that made me like this. I also felt pretty bad for the people that were born based on unlucky circumstances.
