Angela Duckworth
Ability to learn is not static
Need a better understanding of motivation
Who is successful and why? Asked this question in many different situation. The successful people were not successful because of IQ; it was grit!
Grit is passion and perseverance, stamina day in, day out, year after year
Many talented people don't follow thru on their talents and therefore don't reach their potential.
Growth mindset. Ability to learn is not fixed ... can change with your effort
Don't believe that failure is a permanent condition
We need to be grittier and teaching our kids grit--How in the world do we teach this? Can we or is it intrinsic?
