Acceptability(Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell)

Successful people don't do it alone. Where they come
from matters. They're products of particular places and
environments.

A former law school dean, in discussing the qualities students need to obtain a job, offers a somewhat more
realistic picture: "To get a job [students] should belong
enough on family connections, long enough on ability or
long enough on personality, or a combination of these.
Something called acceptability is made up of the sum of
its parts. If a man has any of these things, he could get a
job. If he has two of them, he can have a choice of jobs; if
he has three, he could go anywhere."
