THE, “The Matthew Effect,” with a verse from the New Testament text of the Gospel of Matthew:

For unto everyone that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance. But from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. ~ Matthew 25:29

In other words: Those who succeed will find even more success. Those who don’t succeed will continue not to (to an even greater extent). It’s also known as the “self-fulfilling prophecy.” This “Matthew Effect” was first coined by sociologist Robert Merton. And to illustrate the point, Gladwell uses the example of the Canadian hockey system for training young athletes. Because of the standard January 1st cut-off date for registrations, anyone with a birthday soon after this day essentially gets an extra year to practice. For this reason, most successful professional hockey players happen to be born in the months of January, February, and March. Certainly, these athletes also have talent. But they also had the advantage of extra practice and development time, merely because of the chance-like circumstances of their birth.

MArishka [77]

Okay, Gerald Ford served 1 term from 1974 to 1977. John F. Kennedy served a partial term (because of his assassination) from 1961 to 1963. Richard Nixon served 1 full term as well as a partial second (because he resigned from office) from 1969 to 1974. Lyndon B Johnson served a partial term (because he was sworn in after Kennedy's assassination) and then a full term after that from 1963 to 1969.

So, you answer would be John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, then Gerald Ford.

Hope this helps!
