Winner of OUTLIERS Giveaway Announced!
Did You Win a Free Copy of Malcolm Gladwell's
Bestselling "Outliers"?
Forget the Ronald McDonald hair for a moment. Author Malcolm Gladwell’s books – whether you agree with his conclusions or not – rarely fail to provoke interesting thinking and discussion. Gladwell has penned the bestsellers “The Tipping Point” (about social epidemics) and “Blink” (about making decisions without really thinking).
His new book “Outliers: The Story of Success” is about what makes some people wildly successful and accomplished. What is it that sets people like Bill Gates apart from other entrepreneurs? Gladwell’s goal was to explore the ideas of success beyond the clichés of being “really smart” or “really ambitious.”With the help of our friends at Hachette Books, we’d like to “learn you” by giving away a free copy of Gladwell’s new book. We had more than a dozen folks leave comments behind about what they think is the most important trait of a successful person is in the comments section of this post.
We have now selected a winner!
Bethany K. of Holland, Michigan
She will be sent a copy of the book shortly. Congratulations, Bethany, and thanks to everyone who entered the contest. Stay tuned for more giveaways from your pals at DaRK PaRTY ReVIEW.
And it's not too late to win a free copy of the audio version of the book over at She Is Too Fond Of Books.

Tenacity. The willingness to try, try and try again until you succeed. Most successful people did not find this success overnight. They used their talents, skills, wits and vision to cultivate their success.
Tenacity is what separates them from the rest.
"Luck" is the trait of a successful person. How many talented artists and brilliant theorists died before their works were valued? They had the skills, they had the tenacity, the drive, the passion and the courage to try something new. They apparently lacked luck.
