Part 1 David and Goliath by Malcolm Gladwell Summary"David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants" is a non-fiction book by Malcolm Gladwell published in 2013. In this book, Gladwell explores the dynamics of struggle and advantage, arguing that what we often perceive as disadvantages can actually be sources of strength and that the strongest opponents might not be as formidable as they appear. Key Themes and Concepts:Reinterpretation of Underdog Story: The book famously reexamines the biblical story of David and Goliath. Gladwell argues that David's victory over Goliath was not just a matter of faith but also strategic advantages. David, a skilled sling shooter, had the upper hand due to his agility and range advantage.Disadvantages Turned into Strengths: Gladwell posits that perceived disadvantages, like being an underdog or facing overwhelming odds, can lead to innovative thinking and resilience. He illustrates this through examples from various fields, including education, business, and civil rights.Dyspraxia and Advantage: In discussing personal experiences, Gladwell brings up his own struggles with dyspraxia (a condition affecting motor coordination), which led him to develop other skills such as storytelling and analytical thinking—demonstrating that challenges can cultivate unique strengths.Education System: The book examines how smaller class sizes and less traditional educational methods can lead to better outcomes for students from disadvantaged backgrounds, highlighting that unconventional strategies can turn weaknesses into strengths.Civil Rights Movement: Gladwell discusses the civil rights movement, arguing that the movement's success was partly due to its strategizing, grassroots organization, and ability to leverage the power of the 'underdog' narrative to garner support and change public perception.The Theory of the "Inverted U": The author presents the idea that too much adversity can overwhelm one's capabilities, while a certain level of challenge can provoke resilience. He outlines the importance of finding the right balance between challenge and support. Conclusion:In "David and Goliath", Gladwell encourages readers to reconsider their judgments about strength and weakness. By showcasing how underdogs can and do win against giants through intelligence, creativity, and perseverance, he invites us to look beyond conventional definitions of success and power. The book challenges the reader to see the silver lining in adversity and to recognize the value of unconventional approaches.Part 2 David and Goliath AuthorMalcolm Gladwell is a Canadian journalist, author, and public speaker known for his thought-provoking works that explore the sociological and psychological implications of various subjects. He was born on September 3, 1963, in Fareham, England, and raised in Ontario, Canada.David and Goliath was published on October 1, 2013. The book explores the dynamics of what defines strength and weakness, using various case studies and narratives, including the biblical story of David and Goliath, to discuss how perceived disadvantages can lead to better outcomes.In addition to David and Goliath, Malcolm Gladwell has written several other influential books, including:The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference (2000) An exploration of how ideas spread and why certain phenomena become trends.Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking (2005) Examines the power of rapid cognition and intuition in decision-making.Outliers: The Story of Success (2008) Analyzes the factors that contribute to high levels of success, emphasizing the importance of context, opportunity, and cultural legacy.What the Dog Saw: And Other Adventures (2009) A collection of selected essays from Gladwell's writing in The New

Malcolm Gladwell's "Outliers: The Story of Success" has long been a fascinating exploration of what truly contributes to extraordinary achievement. While many might attribute success to innate talent or fortunate circumstances, Gladwell paints a more nuanced picture, arguing that it's a complex interplay of who we are, where we're from, and, crucially, what we do. Recently, I delved into "Outliers" for a podcast episode, dissecting Gladwell's arguments and reflecting on how they align with the core principles of my own work. Gladwell's analysis of success, rooted in the confluence of various factors, resonated deeply, particularly his emphasis on the "what we do" aspect. The book's blurb, introduction, and early chapters lay the foundation for this argument: success isn't a solitary achievement, but a product of our environment, our opportunities, and our deliberate actions. I like to say it's not just about being born with a silver spoon or possessing inherent talent; it's about the relentless pursuit of mastery, the dedication to honing skills, and the strategic application of knowledge. This is the focus of my podcast, which centers on the power of learnable skills and the transformative impact of habituation. We explore frameworks that empower individuals to navigate the complexities of sales, from identifying ideal customers to nurturing lasting relationships. These frameworks are not abstract theories; they are practical tools designed to drive tangible results, leading to repeat purchases and sustained business growth. All this underscores the importance of deliberate practice and the accumulation of experience. In the context of sales, this translates to: * Mastering Sales Frameworks: Understanding and applying frameworks for customer identification, effective communication, compelling presentations, and deal closure. * Cultivating Productive Habits: Developing consistent routines for lead generation, relationship building, and customer follow-up. * Nurturing Relationships: Building trust and rapport to foster repeat business and generate referrals. By focusing on learnable skills and cultivating productive habits, we can transcend the limitations of innate talent or circumstantial advantage. It would appear that the "Outliers" Equation for Repeat Purchases in business would be something like: * Who We Are (Our Network and Resources): Leverage existing connections and build new relationships. * Where We're From (Our Context and Opportunities): Identify and capitalize on market trends and industry opportunities. * What We Do (Our Skills and Habits): Master sales frameworks, cultivate productive habits, and nurture customer relationships. Success is not a matter of chance, but a product of deliberate action and strategic application. By embracing the power of learnable skills and cultivating productive habits, we can unlock our potential and drive sustainable business growth, leading to repeat purchases and long term success.

What sets professional artists apart from amateurs? 10,000 hours of practice is the common rule of thumb, popularized by author Malcolm Gladwell in his bestseller Outliers: The Story of Success. Today's guest, multidisciplinary artist Tm Gratkowski, believes that 10,000 hours is the minimum when it comes to achieving creative mastery.On today's podcast episode, host and NOT REAL ART founder Scott “Sourdough” Power sits down with Tm to discuss the Chicago artist's commitment to mastering multiple creative skill sets within his artistic practice. “I always say that 10,000 hours is for amateurs,” he tells Scott early in the interview. “It's just the beginning. You've got to multiply that by 10 if you're ever going to get to a level that it's in your interest to aspire to.”Working as an architect and art framer, Tm, like many successful contemporary artists, supports himself with a diverse range of services. In his studio practice, he uses paper to create large and small-scale sculptures, collages, and even installations. Tm's work is chaotic, colorful, and detail-oriented, suggesting a preference for tactile, easily manipulated materials. “I break [an idea] down, make it bend my way,” he says, “and then use that to create.” In this episode, Tm shares his philosophy on developing a diverse set of skills, embracing discomfort as part of the process, and why he chooses to identify as a creative thinker rather than a multidisciplinary artist. We also discuss the many facets of an artist's DNA, the pressure many artists feel to find a “practical” angle for their creative practice, and how Tm finds time for work-life balance, given his thoughts on the 10,000-hour rule. Above all, Tm wants artists to recognize the hard work they put in to get where they are. “Snoop Dogg received a big award recently,” he tells Scott. “In his speech, he said, ‘I'd like to thank myself for all the years of struggle and hard work. I did it all myself to get here.' That is me. Whether or not that's working hard or smart, it takes a lot to do it. You're wearing many hats.” Key Points From This Episode:How Tm's approach to work-life balance has evolved as his practice has grown.Why he says that discipline, work ethic, and creativity are part of his DNA.The path less traveled that Tm took to “find his voice” and develop his visual language.Being a contemporary artist and creative thinker rather than a multidisciplinary artist.How studying architecture has informed and influenced Tm's art practice.Insight into the various layers, elements, and ideas that make up one of Tm's artworks.What kind of support he had from his family on his journey as an artist.Unpacking the pressure that artists often feel to have a “practical” profession.The interplay between hard work and cultural heritage that Tm benefited from in the Midwest.A pragmatic look at the diversity and flexibility Tm has incorporated into his business.Some of the many hats that artists and business owners have to wear today.Tm's take on AI and its role in the current “creative renaissance.”What Tm is working on right now and where you can see his upcoming exhibitions.For more information, please visit http://notrealart.com/tm-gratkowski

It's been a mere 900 years since last week's episode, and it's time to check in with Ashildr to see if she's still the naive and loving young girl she was back in her Viking village days. Or — like the rest of us — has she simply turned into Peter Capaldi's Doctor? It's The Woman Who Lived. Notes and links Nathan refers to the Blackadder the Third episode Amy and Amiability in which a young woman played by Miranda Richardson disguises herself as a highwayman called the Shadow, who has a serious problem with squirrels. The first scene of this story is very much written by someone who remembers that episode. In his massive best seller Outliers: The Story of Success, Malcolm Gladwell proposes the theory that it takes 10,000 hours to become really proficient at something. If you want to hear two of our favourite podcasters rip Gladwell's book apart, they do that in an episode of their podcast If Books Could Kill. Richard mentions the Sydney Theatre Company's 2020 production of The Picture of Dorian Gray, directed by Kip Williams and starring Eryn Jean Norvill as the only cast member, playing no less than 26 characters. Williams is bringing that production to London's West End in 2024, starring Succession's Sarah Snook. The Doctor Who production crew gave Maisie Williams and Rufus Hound video cameras so that they could record things that took place during the production. One of Rufus's videos made it onto the Series 9 blu-ray release; three of them can be found on the BBC's YouTube channel — here, here, and here. Watch them: they're adorable. Picks of the week Todd Todd recommends the Torchwood episodes also written by Catherine Tregenna, particularly the sad and beautiful Captain Jack Harkness, as well as Meat and Adam (and Out of Time, a brilliant episode that we didn't mention). Simon Simon wants you watch The Beast (2023) starring Léa Seydoux, who played James Bond's love interest in the two most recent films. It's a romance set in three different time periods, 1910, 2014 and 2044. It's due for release some time early next year. Richard Richard has headed into Big Finish territory, particularly those stories starring Rufus Hound as the Monk, particularly The Missy Adventures, whose first three box sets also feature Rufus Hound. He also appears with Tim Treloar and Katy Manning in Volume 4 of The Third Doctor Adventures. Nathan Nathan's back on his Star Trek thing again, and this time it's Star Trek: Lower Decks Series 4, which is nearing its end as we release this episode. You can also catch our coverage of Lower Decks on Untitled Star Trek Project. Follow us Nathan is on X as @nathanbottomley, Richard is @RichardLStone, Todd is @toddbeilby,and Simon is @simonmoore72. The Flight Through Entirety theme was arranged by Cameron Lam. You can follow the podcast on X at @FTEpodcast. We're also on Facebook, Mastodon, and Bluesky, and you can check out our website at flightthroughentirety.com. Please consider rating or reviewing us on Apple Podcasts, or we'll forget we ever met you and get cross with you when you turn up on our doorstep with flowers and champagne. And more We are launching a new commentary podcast on Space:1999 next weekend, so keep an eye out for more details during the week. (The title is, for now, still a closely-guarded secret.) A couple of our podcasts are finished or on hiatus right now. Jodie into Terror was our flashcast on every episode of the Whittaker era, recorded just a couple of days after the broadcast of the episode. Bondfinger is our James Bond commentary podcast, which also covers some of our favourite spy-fi TV shows of the sixties and seventies. Maximum Power is back! Our podcast about Blakes 7, co-produced with the Trap One podcast, returns today with a pre-Series C episode based on the Big Finish Blakes 7 story Warship, set between Star One and Aftermath. We'll be back each week to cover each episode of Series C. And finally, there's our Star Trek commentary podcast, Untitled Star Trek Project, featuring Nathan and friend-of-the-podcast Joe Ford. This week we watched a surprisingly enjoyable episode of Star Trek: Voyager, which gave Janeway and Chatokay some time to pursue a mostly non-cringeworthy romantic relationship.

Aujourd'hui on se retrouve pour un nouvel épisode du Book Club, spécial rentrée. C'est jamais simple le livre de la rentrée parce qu'il y a beaucoup d'attentes et j'essaie de choisir un ouvrage qui vous soit le plus utile possible…Après beaucoup de réflexions, j'ai réalisé que j'avais tout à fait le droit de vous parler d'un livre que j'ai déjà évoqué à plusieurs reprises sur le podcast (et que plusieurs de mes invités du podcast ont également déjà évoqué). Ce livre s'appelle Outliers, en anglais de l'auteur Malcolm Gladwell. Le titre en français s'appelle Tous Winners : comprendre les logiques du succès.Malcolm Gladwell est un journaliste et un auteur que j'apprécie beaucoup (il a d'ailleurs son propre podcast “Revisionist History”, que j'écoute de temps en temps et que je vous recommande). Sa démarche de journaliste est très intéressante car elle est presque scientifique : il aime creuser en profondeur ses sujets pour aller chercher la vérité. Et c'est exactement ce qu'il a essayé de faire dans Outliers puisque dans cet ouvrage, l'auteur essaie de trouver les invariants communs qui sont à l'origine des plus grands grands succès. Un sacré challenge comme vous pouvez imaginer ;) Il se pose la question : quels sont les points communs entre des personnes comme Mozart, les Beatles ou Bill Gates?Il va essayer vraiment de décrypter en allant au fond du fond de leur histoire.J'ai vraiment apprécié ce livre parce que je le trouve pertinent et porteur d'espoir.Et puis j'ai voulu vous le donner pour la rentrée parce que je me suis dit qu'au-delà de vous intéresser, vous allez certainement passer un bon moment comme ça a été le cas pour moi ! N'hésitez pas à me le dire sur les réseaux sociaux

Chapter 1 What is Outliers about"Outliers" is a book written by Malcolm Gladwell, published in 2008. The book explores the idea of success and examines the factors that contribute to exceptional achievement. Gladwell challenges the common belief that individual success is primarily driven by personal qualities such as intelligence, talent, or hard work alone. Instead, he suggests that success is heavily influenced by external factors such as cultural background, upbringing, opportunities, and timing. Gladwell introduces the concept of an "outlier," which refers to individuals who are significantly different from the norm or average. He argues that outliers do not achieve extraordinary success solely due to their innate abilities but because they benefit from unique circumstances and advantages. The book delves into various examples to support this argument, including the examination of successful figures like Bill Gates, The Beatles, hockey players, and pilots. Throughout the book, Gladwell highlights how cultural legacies, community support, educational systems, and even birth month can have a profound impact on an individual's chances for success. By analyzing these factors, he aims to challenge conventional wisdom and provide insights into the complex nature of achievement. In summary, "Outliers" explores the notion that outliers, those who achieve remarkable success, are shaped by a combination of external circumstances and personal attributes rather than individual merit alone. The book invites readers to consider the broader environmental influences that contribute to outstanding accomplishments in various fields.Chapter 2 Is Outliers Worth Read "Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell is definitely worth reading. The book explores the concept of success in a thought-provoking and engaging way. Gladwell examines the factors that contribute to exceptional achievement and challenges the notion of individual merit as the sole determinant of success. He delves into various real-life examples from different fields and uncovers the hidden influences and circumstances that often play a crucial role in shaping extraordinary outcomes. By presenting compelling stories and analyzing statistical patterns, Gladwell highlights the importance of external factors such as cultural advantages, timing, and opportunity. He argues that understanding these unique circumstances can provide valuable insights for individuals and society as a whole. "Outliers" provokes readers to consider the broader context in which success is achieved, encouraging a deeper understanding of the factors that influence exceptional accomplishment. Whether you are interested in psychology, sociology, or personal development, this book offers a captivating exploration of success that may challenge your preconceived notions and broaden your perspective.Chapter 3 Outliers SummaryIn this captivating article, we delve into the fascinating concept of outliers, inspired by Malcolm Gladwell's bestselling book "Outliers: The Story of Success."

Join us on a journey that explores why some people surpass conventional expectations and how harnessing the power of outliers can unlock extraordinary potential in all aspects of life.

The bald men wrap up Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell!

On this episode, the men discuss education in America and how our culture might be working against our kids.

OutliersOutliers Full Book Introduction In every time period, there exist some "outliers" who possess exceptional abilities and achieve extraordinary feats. It is commonly believed that their success is attributed to personal factors, that they are either gifted or simply work much harder than the average person. However, this book uncovers the real secret to their success. They do not rely purely on their talent or hard work to achieve success; rather, their success is influenced by innate strengths, acquired opportunities, and cultural backgrounds. Author : Malcolm GladwellMalcolm Gladwell is a Canadian author of Jamaican and English descent. In 2005, he was included in the TIME 100 Most Influential People list. In addition to this, Gladwell has been hailed as “a 21st-century Peter Drucker” by Fast Company. The New York Times described his influence on social thought as “the Gladwell Effect.” He is known for his books The Tipping Point, Blink, Talking To Strangers, and David and Goliath. Each of these books made a splash in the world of non-fiction literature. You can use our APP to find the bookeys for each of these titles. Overview | Chapter 1Hi, welcome to Bookey. Today, we will unlock the book Outliers: The Story of Success. In every era, we can find "outliers" who possess exceptional skills and achieve extraordinary feats. They become a symbol of that era, and their extraordinary performances are recorded in history books. It is commonly believed that their success is attributable to personal factors, that they are either gifted or work significantly harder than the average person. For example, we believe that due to Albert Einstein's superior IQ, he was able to become one of the world's greatest physicists. Similarly, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart practiced for 10,000 hours to compose the classic work Piano Concerto No. 9. On the surface, it seems that having a high IQ and undertaking strenuous efforts will lead to success, but this book tells us that they did not rely purely on their talent or hard work to achieve success; their success was influenced by innate strengths, acquired opportunities, and cultural backgrounds. In other words, social and cultural factors gave them an edge over ordinary people. Furthermore, these strengths may be amplified under the effect of a virtuous circle, thus allowing them to outrank ordinary people in competition. So, in addition to their internal factors—superb talent and hard work—we also need to focus on the external factors that contributed to their success: hidden advantages, opportunities, and cultural influences. The author tells us that without these external factors, even someone who has a higher IQ than Einstein is still likely to fall into mediocrity. By thinking out of the box, this book leads us towards more profound opportunities for success. Also, it gives us another way to interpret factors for success. In this bookey, we'll discuss the book in three parts: Part One: Innate strengths Part Two: Acquired opportunities Part Three: Cultural legacies

Episode 356: Leading with Practical Intelligence, Part II Episode Notes“Practical intelligence,” says Robert Sternberg, who coined the term, “includes knowing what to say to whom, knowing when to say it, and knowing how to say it for maximum effect.” Malcolm Gladwell writes in Outliers: The Story of Success (2012) that practical intelligence is “knowing how to do something without necessarily knowing why you know it or being able to explain it.” I discuss examples of both aspects of practical intelligence.Knowing What, When, and How to Say Something One of the many jobs I had before starting WeMentor, inc. was as a phone solicitor for the Minnesota Special Olympics. The first skill I learned was rehearsing a prepared script that described the importance of contributing to our Special Olympians and a variety of answers for when people would say no. “Do you mind telling me why you cannot donate right now?”My manager, Don, was terrific. He knew how to coach and knew how to motivate me. A pat on the shoulder. A quick pep talk when I needed it. Strategies for overcoming rejection and emotional roadblocks. Don did this for everyone. And he kept a close watch on the numbers. He would whisper in between calls how close we were to reach our hourly goals. The room was filled with about 7 to 11 other telesales people. My only request was to have my desk in front of a six-inch window slit to see outside. I needed a focal point.In the first week, I became the #1 telesales person in the New Hope office and Minnesota. I made 30 to 40 calls per hour from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., five days a week. New people were trained by sitting next to me and listening to how I talked with potential donors and closed the sales. I refined what I needed to say to whom and knew when to venture off script to engage the person on the other end of the phone. Week after week my numbers were impressive, and I was motivated to do well.All was going well week after week. I started listening to motivational tapes while riding my bike to work daily. Zig Ziglar was my favorite. “You can have everything in your life you want, if you will just help enough people get what they want.” This famous quote of his resonated with millions of people, including me.About eight weeks in, I get into a funk and lose my mojo. I made sales but couldn't maintain my #1 status. It was torturous every hour for five days straight; I couldn't hit my sales goals.Don put things into perspective, saying it happens and encouraging me to stick with it. Some of the others were glad I wasn't perfect. My funk allowed someone else to shine while I got a dose of humility.Outside of calling hours, I went on a few deliveries to meet the people making the donations and attended some Special Olympians in training. This helped me understand the bigger purpose of my efforts.After that downer of a week, I regained my groove and broke my #1 sales goals. A new inspiration emerged. I asked Don what becoming the national #1 telesales person would take. I remember the sales numbers being within reach. At the five-month mark, I became the #1 telesales person in the country. Outside of that one week, I was able to be #1 at something. It felt great.Years later, I was told my sales record took years to beat nationally and a few decades locally. Cool, I motivated others to generate more donations to support athletes with intellectual disabilities. They count on salespeople like us to help them change their lives and better their circumstances. Gotta love that.I learned from that experience that knowing what to say to whom, when to say it, and how to say it for the maximum effect paid off in generating thousands and thousands of dollars to support a great cause. Tailoring my message to fit an audience of Twin Cities residents started with a tailored message, a list, and the ability to pick up the phone and get to those who said yes; each hour of every day with an effective coach by my side worked.

Ko na drugo stran mikrofona sede državni prvak v pomnenju in samozavestno naznani, da ima v resnici relativno slab spomin - takrat si obetaš zanimiv pogovor. Nik, ki je po izobrazbi igralec, lahko na pamet zrecitira 3,141 decimalk števila pi, ker pa mu ta vaja ni bila dovolj, se je pred kratkim na pamet naučil še poštne številke vseh občin v Sloveniji. Zakaj tako rad potiska meje svojih miselnih sposobnosti? Še boljše vprašanje - kako mu to uspe? Kot sam pravi, ne gre za nikakršne nadnaravne sposobnosti, ampak 'preprosto' za vajo. Ni se rodil s fotografskim spominom, le z obilico motivacije, da raziskuje najrazličnejše oblike mentalnega fitnesa. Z Nikom sva se pogovorjala o njegovi famozni vizualizacijski tehniki "palače spomina", od tam pa prešla na širši pogovor o možganih, o vprašanju talenta in prakse, pa tudi o osebnostni rasti, spopadanju s tremo in o tem, kako je lahko strah do določene mere naš prijatelj in naš motivator.

Overview of “Outliers: The Story of Success” A very brief description of “Outliers”Journalist and researcher Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of "outliers" - the best and the brightest, the most famous and the most successful - from software billionaires to soccer players to Asian math prodigies. His goal is to find the answer to the question: What makes high-achievers different from regular people?What Gladwell sets out to do / Purpose of the bookThe real meat of the book is Gladwell's discussion of our misunderstanding of how highly successful people achieve their greatness. The modern media pays too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where they are from: that is, their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing.The intended audience of the book / Who will benefit mostPeople who love biographiesPeople who want to understand how to become successfulPeople who want to know that unspoken truth about great success - that it often requires great luck as well as great workPeople who want to become world famousPeople who like reality TV shows Who probably WON'T like this book?People who need deep, scientific analyses of case studiesPeople who believe in overnight successPeople who aren't willing to commit 10,000 hours to their thingHow does this book specifically benefit Men? All Men aspire to greatness but most men do not understand everything that is required to achieve it. Outliers will help to fill in the gaps in a man's education so he can realize the skills, the work, the creativity - and the serendipity that is required to rise to the highest level of achievement.Is this book Easy, Average or Difficult to read? / How long is it?

When Malcolm was 11, his father, who was a professor of mathematics and engineering at the University of Waterloo, allowed him to wander around the offices at his university, which stoked the boy's interest in reading and libraries. The University of Waterloo granted Gladwell an honorary doctorate in 2007.He graduated with a bachelor's degree in history from Trinity College of the University of Toronto, in 1984 but although he wanted to attend graduate school his grades weren't high enough so he decided to pursue advertising.After being rejected by every advertising agency he applied to, he accepted a journalism position at American Spectator and has spent almost 40 years to date writing and working in investigative journalismGladwell was a national class runner and an Ontario High School champion.

Are they truly self-made or are they a product of their circumstances, families and external environment? Is success a product of innate talent, preparation, or opportunity? Or a blend of all the above?Malcolm Gladwell explores this and more in his book called Outliers. Through his life experiences, Gladwell discovered that successful people have a few commonalities.Outliers teaches us about the definition of success and how to become successful. It's a handbook for those hoping to succeed in life and work.If you're still wondering, “What is Outliers about?”, stay with us:About Malcolm GladwellMalcolm Gladwell is a Canadian journalist, author, and public speaker who has worked as a staff writer for The New Yorker since 1996.

StoryShot #1: Success Isn't LinearSuccess doesn't come from one factor. There is a multitude of things that go into making someone successful. Grit and determination aren't the only factors to consider. Someone's environment or upbringing also doesn't predict success. There's no way for you to predict or guess what may make you successful. Several factors are working in harmony for someone to become successful.Success doesn't just hinge on having one thing that sets you apart from others. It's about having many things that set you apart...

“My life is not where I thought it would be.” Our expectations do not always line up with reality. Why haven't I experienced true and lasting transformation in my life? Summary of ColossiansThis letter is written to a young church: The Apostle Paul writes this letter from prison to a young church in the city of Colossae that they may grow in “maturity to Christ” (1:28), despite the cultural pressures that they were experiencing.Christ began a new Kingdom: The foundation for resisting cultural pressure is recognizing we have been saved from ourselves and are now citizens of a new Kingdom– established in Christ. (1:13;1:15-20;3:1)Spiritual maturity is learning to live in that new Kingdom: Paul believes that learning to live in the Kingdom of Jesus transforms every aspect of our lives.In verse 5, he outlines the first list, sins of desire. He says: “Put to death therefore what is earthly in you:[a] sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.” In verse 8, he outlines the second list, sins against community. He says, “But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth.” Dos and Don'tsIn a letter, Paul writes for the purpose of growing the Colossians' spiritual maturity, this is the first instance of a has dos and don'ts list. Paul knew something that we often forget: rules don't compel people to act, stories do. This is why Pauls spends the first two Chapters of Colossians rooting us, placing us in the story of Jesus. Putting to Death Sin“[T]o put something to death you must cut off its lines of supply- every Christian has the responsibility before God to investigate the lifelines of whatever sins are defeating him personally and to cut them off without pity- Better that than have them eventually destroy you…One cannot always prevent angry or hateful thoughts from springing into one's head, but they should be dealt with firmly before they turn into words. It is not ‘healthy', as is sometimes supposed, to allow such thoughts to find expression. It is certainly healthy to recognize and face up to one's own anger or frustration, and to search for proper and creative ways of dealing with it. But words do not merely convey information or let off steam. They change situations and relationships, often irrevocably. They can wound as well as heal. Like wild plants blown by the wind, hateful words can scatter their seeds far and wide, giving birth to more anger wherever they land.” – N.T. WrightPaul ends these lists with a summative statement. He says in v. 9 and 10;“9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self[c] with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.” Sins as Lies “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” – John 8:44“our fight with the devil is first and foremost a fight to take back control of our minds from their captivity to lie and liberate them with the weapon of truth.” – John Mark ComerClothing MetaphorThe idea of clothing is commonly associated with resurrection. When Lazarus is resurrected, Jesus instructs the people to unbind him, to rid him of his burial clothes. When Jesus is resurrected, he leaves his burial clothes behind.“The very first tear he made was so deep that I thought it had gone right into my heart. And when he began pulling the skin off, it hurt worse than anything I've ever felt. The only thing that made me able to bear it was just the pleasure of feeling the stuff peel off.” – CS Lewis1. We live in the already but not yet. Paul in v. 1 of Chapter three says if you then have been raised with Christ in the past tense. Then in v. 10, he says our new self is being renewed in knowledge present tense. “As people our souls are tethered to [the story or kingdom of Jesus] like a rubber band and the further we get from that story the more tension we feel. And being that we live in the between there are constantly things that belong to death pulling us from that kingdom citizenship.” –Ashley AndersonPart of the reason transformation is difficult is because although we have been clothed in new clothes we still live in a world filled with old clothes. We are in the already but not yet. 2. Transformation does not feel achievable is because we focus too much on our old clothes. Paul goes on later in vv. 12-14 to say don't focus on the old clothes, but focus on the new ones. We need to focus more on our new clothes and not on our old ones 3. Transformation feels difficult because we lack the long view. Malcolm Gladwell's 2008 book, Outliers: The Story of Success explains that in order to become an expert in anything you have to spend at least 10,000 hours practicing a particular skill. That equates to 20 hours a week for 10 years. SPIRITUAL PRACTICE | What would it look like to apply the 10,000 hour rule to our spiritual formation? Could it be that this transition from old to new clothes is something that happens over a lifetime and not simply a day, a week, a month, or a year? “As I write this [chapter], I just came off a pretty rough week. A few interpersonal things had me really stressed out and by the time my Sabbath rolled around I was really feeling it. I've had an adulthood-long struggle with anxiety, that while better than it's ever been, still rears its ugly head on a regular basis. And in that moment of discouragement, when I was literally thinking, Will I ever mature past anxiety's hold on my soul? I felt the Spirit remind me to take the long view. Here's John Mark and peace in his twenties…. Not much to look at. A very anxious young man with a tortured sensitivity. Here's John Mark and peace in his thirties… Better but still a long way to go. Forties… Wow, I see a noticeable uptick. But still a lot of road ahead But by the time I'm in my sixties? Deep shalom, friends, deep shalom. Come what may, my soul is at peace with God. So with that vision of my future self in mind, I go about the rest of my day. I am practicing the Way of Jesus as best I can and playing the long game. As my father frequently said, take the long view.” – John Mark ComerWhat would it look like to establish a vision for our new lives in Jesus?

How can you practice deliberately as a preacher? In this episode, Matt Woodley explores that question with Jared Alcantara, associate professor of preaching at Baylor University's George Truett Theological Seminary in Waco, Texas. Deliberate practice in preaching is a “relentless ongoing commitment to growth.” He also cites the work of K. Anders Ericsson, a Swedish psychologist who wrote “Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise.” He identifies four commitments people often make, who become experts in a given field, like preaching or playing the violin. The willingness to take risks Constructive feedback Focused attention  Concrete goals  This concept is more widely known from Malcolm Gladwell's book Outliers where he popularized the 10,000 rule. The rule says that “it takes 10,000 hours of intensive practice to achieve mastery of complex skills and materials, like playing the violin or getting as good as Bill Gates at computer programming” according to Alcantara.
