Food for Thought: Malcolm Gladwell seems to think attending an elite college or working for a famous company could kill your dreams. The popular author lays out his argument for being a big fish in a little pond in his latest book, David and Goliath, a work that aims to overturn conventional notions about what makes for a disadvantage and who should be considered an underdog. Gladwells basically against anyone attending a famous university just for the name, or really doing anything for the sake of prestige. To choose something elite is, more often than not, to choose being a little fish in a big pond, he says, since only a select few will shine among the best. He believes people are generally better off choosing to be part of a lesser known organization where they have a greater chance of standing out.
