Chapter one explains about Matthew effect. there is a relation between months of the child's birth and the intake of academic year and then further it will influence your child's future.
Chapter two explains about the 10K hour rule. In order to master something, you need to get through this 10K hour practice.
Chapter three explains about trouble with geniuses, part 1. To be successful, you need certain level of IQ. But there's threshold of this IQ system, it will matters only up to a point.
Chapter four explains about trouble with geniuses, part 2. It's a combination between opportunity, being born in wealth family,the effort to get through the 10K hour rule for the geniuses to be successful.
Chapter five explains about lesson from Joe Flom. My personal understanding of this chapter is about you need to be born in the right time (being in the right generation) and to be outliers.
These 5 chapters are talking about opportunity. What I can apply in my life after reading this book are in the family planning (child's birth month in relation to the academic intake), the parent's role to encourage and polish the child's talent and interest, and see the child's IQ which is carried when she/he is born.
I will continue to summarize the part two which talks about legacy after I finish reading.
