Response to "Most Likely to succeed"

Gladwell method of conveying his idea was very direct and thorough. By using many quotes and reliable sources like the NFL scout, Dan Shonka, the dean of the University, Bob Pianta, and the co-president of North Star Resource Group, Ed Deutschlander. All three of these people are highly experienced in their respective fields and are able to properly portray the problems at hand in choosing an employee. The difficulty which they face in all three professions is that they can see the problems which an individual is having and how it might transfer over to a professional level or success rate, in the case of the teachers, but they are not sure who can overcome these mistakes in order to become truly great at their profession.

By directly citing Dan Shonda was able to create a picture for those without a clue of the amount of work that goes into choosing a successful quarterback. This tactic is able to tie in readers who are not exactly football fans as well as those who are football fans by not leaving the reader wondering what exactly is the task at hand. This method of research is viewed as very reliable considering there is not any room for misguided information unless the writer purposely distorted some of the facts received in the interview. For the most part Shonda seemed like a truly intelligent person in his description of the "quarterback problem" from seeing the stance of the players and if they can "zip" the ball when needed.

The direct citing also helped to describe the same problem in both the teaching and the financial advising fields. Looking at the teaching study which was carried out it is very convincing that the level of difficulty in choosing a good teacher is a very meticulous one.
