A shell of an idea
Orphan
We found a little boy in a book – we were so surprised, we decided to take him home with us. When he spoke he had this to say -
Orphan text is collaged from ten years of notebook entries and attempted drafts (1999-2009).
Previous drafts, contains a selection of these pages and also seminal books read by the author at that time.

A common theme that appears throughout Outliers is the "10,000-Hour Rule", based on a study by Anders Ericsson.
"10,000-Hour Rule", claiming that the key to success in any field is, to a large extent, a matter of practising a spe-cific task for a total of around 10,000 hours.
