我傾向讓小朋友做大仔。

各位請原諒我拋一下書包， 看過一本書 [Outliers: The Story of Success]，作者嘗試破解成功到底有哪些因素。

作者一開波，就列出加拿大最 Top 曲棍球球員的出生日期， 結果發現大部分球員都是年頭生日， 為什麼呢？

（太懶打字, below copy from Wikipedia):

The book begins with Gladwell's research on why a disproportionate number of elite Canadian hockey players are born in the first few months of the calendar year. The answer, he points out, is that since youth hockey leagues determine eligibility by calendar year, children born on January 1 play in the same league as those born on December 31 in the same year. Because children born earlier in the year are bigger and maturer than their younger competitors, they are often identified as better athletes, leading to extra coaching and a higher likelihood of being selected for elite hockey leagues. This phenomenon is dubbed "accumulative advantage" by Gladwell, Outliers asserts that success depends on the idiosyncrasies of the selection process used to identify talent just as much as it does on the athletes' natural abilities.

各位家有細B 的家長，你們可能覺得‘accumulative advantage' 不能套用在學習上，以上提供另一個角度讓你們參考。
