I personally find Malcolm Gladwell and his thought process very intriguing. It stands out to me how differently he thinks from anyone I know. He refuses to conform to the modern thinking of society and i feel that he typically proves people wrong when given the chance. You can tell that he has a great thirst for knowledge of the truth, especially in this video I have attached a link to Malcolm Gladwell David and Goliath talk. I believe the message you could easily take away from his Ted Talks, is to not believe everything you hear, because a great deal of it is false. Another take home message of his for me, was inspired from his Ted talk about spaghetti, linked here. The message was that not one thing is perfect for everyone. Although many people like spaghetti sauce, not everyones likes it smooth. Some people like it extra chunky, and some may not like sauce on their spaghetti at all. Here is a video of Gladwell talking about his novel, Outsiders.

One thing I see in my frequently in my life is usually between girls. Girls gossip often and half of the things you hear about other people are not true, or you may not know the full story. You truly can not trust everything you hear, because judging someone by one thing that you hear about them, could really hurt them and you don't know if it is honestly true. I would assume girls gossip just for the fun of it, and the indulging in other peoples business. I have attached a link about why people gossip. Gossip link here.
