The man in the blue jeans was right on my tail. I could hear the sound of snow covered leaves crunching beneath the weight of his tires.

The Importance of Saying Thank You
I just finished reading Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers: The Story of Success. I highly recommend it. In the book, Gladwell argues that the widely held view of great success as a result of purely individual determination and hard work is misleading and causes our society to let many potentially great successes stall and fail in their infancy.
