Situations Matter

Situations Matter shares a theme with Gladwell's Outliers. That the situation that you are in has a great influence on what you do, even more so that character.

Give a caring helpful person a to-do list and a sense of urgency, and they will ignore someone in need of help just as readaly as any selfish person.

Of all the qualities we look for in our mates, proximity may be the most important. More than any other quality, for every mile you put between two people, the odds that they will meet and get married pluments. Yet, if you were to ask someone why they fell in love, proximity would not come up.
