Top 10 most inspiring quotes by Malcolm Gladwell

  • Practice isn’t the thing you do once you’re good. It’s the thing you do that makes you good.
  • The key to good decision making is not knowledge. It is understanding. We are swimming in the former. We are desperately lacking in the latter.
  • We have, as human beings, a storytelling problem. We’re a bit too quick to come up with explanations for things we don’t really have an explanation for.
  • Those three things – autonomy, complexity, and a connection between effort and reward – are, most people will agree, the three qualities that work has to have if it is to be satisfying.
  • It’s not how much money we make that ultimately makes us happy between nine and five. It’s whether or not our work fulfills us. Being a teacher is meaningful.
  • The tipping point is that magic moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire.
  • In fact, researchers have settled on what they believe is the magic number for true expertise: ten thousand hours.
  • Insight is not a lightbulb that goes off inside our heads. It is a flickering candle that can easily be snuffed out.
  • To be someone’s best friend requires a minimum investment of time. More than that, though, it takes emotional energy. Caring about someone deeply is exhausting.
  • Truly successful decision-making relies on a balance between deliberate and instinctive thinking.
