Outliers

For anyone that doesn't read Malcolm Gladwell's books, I highly recommend them.  I started reading his latest book, Outliers, last night, and I find his books fascinating.  This particular book is talking about how it is not only innate skill, but the advantage of birth date, time, place, etc that makes successful people rise to the top.  For example, the first section talks about how almost all the major Canadian hockey players were born in the first months of the year...because the cutoff is in Jan, and therefore these boys will be bigger and more mature, and will be seen as more skilled therefore getting the advantage of extra practice and encouragement, thereby becoming more successful...  What advantages do you have that have made you who you are?
