Blacks need to know: The unheard story of David and Goliath - Malcolm Gladwell

The other part of the story of David and Goliath. Preparation + Strategy+ Opportunity = Success.

It's a classic underdog tale: David, a young shepherd armed only with a sling, beats Goliath, the mighty warrior. The story has transcended its biblical origins to become a common shorthand for unlikely victory. But, asks Malcolm Gladwell, is that really what the David and Goliath story is about?  Detective of fads and emerging subcultures, chronicler of jobs-you-never-knew-existed, Malcolm Gladwell's work is toppling the popular understanding of bias, crime, food, marketing, race, consumers and intelligence.  http://www.ted.com/speakers/malcolm_gladwell.html 

Be prepared, use strategy, make opportunity !
