Throughout the article, a study is explained on how successful the violinists are due to practicing, hard work, and time put into what they are trying to achieve. The violinists were divided into three groups. The first group was, “the students with the potential to become world-class soloists.” Next, the second group consisted of, those who were “merely good” and the third group contained, “students who were unlikely to ever play professionally and who intended to be music teachers in the public school system.” Indeed, these violinists were divided by how many hours of work were put into their carers. At first, “everyone practiced roughly the same amount, about two or three hours a week,” but as the students became much older the differences in the time spent practicing because diverse. In fact, “by the age of twenty, the elite performers had each totaled ten thousand hours of practice. By contrast, the merely good students had totaled eight thousand hours, and the future music teachers had totaled just over four thousand hours.” Basically reporting that the elite performers were totaling more hours in practicing than the “merely good students” and the “future music teachers.” Given these points, Gladwell is proving that ones who work hard at a goal are able to control the outcome of what happens such as the successfulness of their
