When Effort Trumps Ability

I really enjoyed this New Yorker article by Malcolm Gladwell of The Tipping Point, Blink and Outliers fame. It's about David and Goliath, Laurence of Arabia and the full-court press in basketball. The main point is that effort can trump ability, if you're able to put in the required effort, that is. The money quote: "When underdogs choose not to play by Goliath's rules, they win."
