A must read book for all, this book mainly covers the ideas of how large an impact a unprobable event can cause
ex- the planes that hit manhatten , the crash of the financial market in 1897…etc
the first idead covered in the book is – history does not crawl and it jumps forward

The idea may seem to be pretty inconseqenctial but has an exhilirating impact as the author taleb tells,
the author gives the example of the islam religion that was spread withinn the world so quick that it became the one of the most followed religion in the world.

At the end of the day some people might work entirely for money, but if told that recogniton will also be given along with that no one would reduce the offer.
Everyone wants to be recognized in the scoiety.
(the idea is not as simple as it sounds right?), yeah this is a very complex theroy and philosophy.
To be recognized one has to create history
let us take a few examples of poeple who have created history

rogger federer – field of tennis
steve jobs – field of entrepreneurship
narendra modi – field of politics
ricky ponting/brain lara- field of cricket
these people are recognized and every one will have a temptation to be like one of them and be recognized

so what is to be done?
as told earlier history jumps forward and does not crawl, so you have to take jumps

if you are playing tennis and practicing for 3 hrs a day, then work more hard improve in strategy and work with ypur style till such an extent that no one camn defeat you

if you are a student study hard(by studying hard it does not mean by putting in mkre hours, yes does work but not to everyone, all i mam telling is work smart) ttry to understand the topic and dont mug up and do the topic unti; no one knows the topic better than you.
then trust me no one can beat you in your university

so whatever may be the work that ypu are doing do by taking a jump

take the jump right now and keep taking the jumps until u create history and be recognized..
