A Ted Talks Education talk discussion with Angela Lee Duckworth
Who is successful in school and why?
A predictor of success came down to grit.
Grit is passion and perseverence for long-term goals.
Live life as if it were a marathon, not a sprint.
Talent doesn't make you 'grittier'.
Grit is sometimes inversely related to intelligence.
Growth-mindset is related to grit and success.
In the growth-mindset, failure is a passing state and not an end-result, therefore contributing to perseverence.
Take best ideas and measure success.
Must be willing to fail and be wrong.
Be willing to start over with lessons learned.
