Malcolm Gladwell: How David Beats Goliath

Malcolm Gladwell: How David Beats Goliath: In a New Yorker article bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell makes the point that "Effort can trump ability." He writes, "We tell ourselves that skill is the precious resource and effort is the commodity. It's the other way around." Read the article. (Hat Tip: The Rebelution.)

I hope I don't sound like a snob, but Mr. Harris, this turns the David and Goliath story into just another version of The Tortoise and the Hare. Fables and moral stories have their place, but David and Goliath is neither-- it is a story that shows God's glory. God gave David and Israel the victory. It was not perseverance or hard work that won the day: It was our God. You can persevere and work as hard as you want, but God is always the reason someone wins or loses.
