David and Goliath by Malcolm Gladwell: after finishing the book

David and Goliath written by Malcolm Gladwell laid the possible ways how underdogs should think about their battles and fight against the giants. He suggested to change the process of thinking on common disadvantages as advantages, and react to the battles with giants with the ways that giants would never expect. Gladwell did very well to help underdogs to change their thinking process towards struggle. Gladwell's discussion about college decision, rather to choose the colleges that you can learn and do the best over the ivy league colleges, changed my ways of thinking towards my college and possible future. Before reading his discussion, I was too pressured under getting into very selective colleges. I thought the only way to make yourself special for job market was to go to very good colleges. However, Gladwell provided statistical evidences that it is not necessary true. He showed me that the colleges that I can do my best and learn the best is the best college for me. Overall, Gladwell's David and Goliath is very helpful for all ages, teenagers through people in fifties and sixties, as it provides meaningful suggestions for one's life changing decisions.
