Well if the article in question exemplifies Gladwell's thinking, then I will save reading more of him for a rainy day, and will instead read about those people who do things instead of those who talk about those who do. As someone said, one's time on Earth is limited.

I'm very confused. Did you think this article was about "people who do things" or about "people who talk about those who do"?

There is considerable irony in your reply.
