Trains are everywhere in our society, we have jokes, toys, movies, and children’s television shows, but did you know rail transport started in 6th century Greece? The city of San Antonio, Texas is a fast-growing metropolitan city that has a very tremendous amount of people. It has been estimated that the city will grow by another million people in the next ten to twenty years.

For example, as children, hockey teams can be organized by players’ initial talent. That initial talent brings a select group of hockey players together so they can practice and become even more successful than they would have been without practice. In other words, the small advantage that the “talented” hockey players had only gave them opportunities to gain more advantages. As said by Gladwell, “...if you separate the ‘talented’ from the ‘untalented’; and you provide the ‘talented’ with a superior experience, then you’re going to end up giving a huge advantage to [the ‘talented’]” (Gladwell 25).
