For those of you who are currently in despair about the hopeless feeling that we have picked a booger and just can't seem to flick it, cheer up.
Some guy named Malcolm Gladwell wrote a book called "The Tipping Point". Here is a concise summary by a reviewer:
"The thrust of the book is that there are three things that can converge to bring about dramatic and perhaps unexpectedly fast changes in our society [think Georgia football]. These are the context (the situational environment - especially when it's near the balance or 'tipping point'), the idea, and the people involved. His point is that very small changes in any or several of the context, the quality of the idea (which he calls 'stickiness', ie how well the idea sticks), or whether the idea reaches a very small group of key people can trigger a dramatic epidemic of change in society [or Georgia football]."
