Cloud's purpose in writing this article was to show the two ways that most geniuses are made from. The first is the idea from Gladwell, who states that practice makes perfect. He believes in the ten year rule, which means that someone needs to practice a specific thing for ten years to master it. The second idea is from Simonton, a "friend" of Gladwell. He believes that a person needs to be smart enough for practice to teach you something. He also states that personality traits are important. To conclude, Cloud says that Gladwell dismisses the point that kids need higher IQs to achieve success. He believes that smarter kids need to be recognized istead of held back with everyone else in their grade. I think this is very true. In public school especially, the smarter kids seemed to have a hard time getting into advanced classes or moving along faster in a specific class because others are struggling. In our Genius Hour project, we were able to work at our own pace and determine how well our projects worked out based on our work ethic.
