Beating the Odds: The Dramatic Story of Sara Lakin


So while reading Outliers, (see previous post) Chris brought to my attention that I have beaten the odds. According to Malcolm Gladwell, success is determined by birth month or your age within your class. Being a May baby, on the young end of my class, I should have nothing going for me. Now Chris, also a May baby but on the old end of our class, should be in line for leadership in a Fortune 500 company. Well, Malcolm Gladwell, who's financing who in this marriage right now?


It's all part of the dramatic story of Sara Lakin, rising above her circumstances, to prove to the world that she will not be held down by her birth month.
