[kictanet] On "hitting it big" with innovation

[Matunda Nyanchama]

Listers may be interested Malcom Gladwell's two books The Outliers  and Tipping 
Point on the above subject with the former focusing on events in society and 
hard word; the latter on the power individuals and the 'little things' they do 
shape the world.

Message from the former:

Hard work is critical to success, however, successful people were often lucky to 
be in the right place at the right time; plus you must sweat: 10,000 hours of 
skills development appears to be the rule of the thumb.

Unless of course you are in Kenya where (in some cases) public budgets are 
siphoned away even before the money arrives!
