On November 18, 2008 Malcolm Gladwell originally published Outliers which is a book about where success originates from. In the book, Gladwell discusses how success comes from where you are from, when you are born, in addition who your parents are.

The last thing that determines success is a person's parents. In The Matthew Effect it mentions that parents around a middle class income are more involved with their children, while parents who are poor let their children grow on there
