ch***********:

Yall are here for your middle/high school assignment, aren't you?

MS**************:

I feel this pressure the day before my exam, and then I try to complete the syllabus all I can in one day, any distraction already fades away due to the pressure.
I feel the growth then, the perseverance, the grit due to that pressure. And then I just wonder if I was this diligent right from the starting of the year. I learn that day that when I try to do something for which I don't have any pressure or great passion I make very little progress find some difficulty and quit. But when there is pressure that same thing I do with flying colors because there is no choice left.
So conclusion is bring that passion for something, keep trying because it doesn't matter how slow you go until you don't stop.
Just do it don't quit. If you face a challenge in your path something will strike you just keep going.
Because the only way is through it.

Re******:

MA**:

Who is Ted and why hasnt he talked

Mo*************:

Coming here after reading the book. I nearly failed my first semester of college and went on the hunt for material that would help me change my attitude. I can really say that Grit has been creeping into my life in very positive ways. and this new mindset is definitely helping me change my behavior. Now, when I feel like skipping class or shirking some homework, I ask myself: "Is this conducive to getting what I ACTUALLY care about? Will it help me reach my long term goals?" The answer is almost always to just put my nose to the grindstone and do work. And when you see it as a challenge that is going to help you reach your goals rather than an obstacle waiting to knock you down, your motivations entirely change.

For anyone who's been depressed for a long time and is feeling generally hopeless about life, I would HIGHLY recommend reading this book. The ideas Angela Duckworth presents will help you improve your quality of life so much.

What's your assignment about this video?
Mine is: "What's your thought about what you have watched" :))

Ye*******:

This is awesome. I was born with a moderate level of dyslexia. I failed the first test I ever took when I was 4 (-> the entrance test at my school... it was literally just write your name and make a drawing... I hid under the table). I ended up getting accepted by default because of a small quota of Swedes applying that year (it was an international school with quotas for different nationalities). I struggled for years in school with every subject. But my parents along with a few incredible professors never stopped believing in me. They slowly made me WANT to work hard and become obsessive about producing better results. After years of perseverance I ended up graduating in the top of my class and top 5% of the country.

Work smart, focus on deliberate learning and keep your eyes on the target. Getting a growth mindset is something we all can achieve --> To eventually develop grit.

Cheers everyone

Da*****:

Grit and determination matter more than any other quality for success. IQ is overrated compared to sheer determination and hard work.

Jo******:

Give students and children praise for struggling through solving a problem, rather than just praise for the end result. They will feel a sense of accomplishment as they go through problems and understand that the struggle is part of the success.

Who else came from Matt's channel?

Ly**:

When I was 27 years old, I left a very demanding job in management consulting for a job that was even more demanding: teaching. I went to teach seventh graders math in the New York City public schools. And like any teacher, I made quizzes and tests. I gave out homework assignments. When the work came back, I calculated grades. What struck me was that IQ was not the only difference between my best and my worst students. Some of my strongest performers did not have stratospheric IQ scores. Some of my smartest kids weren't doing so well. And that got me thinking. The kinds of things you need to learn in seventh grade math, sure, they're hard: ratios, decimals, the area of a parallelogram. But these concepts are not impossible, and I was firmly convinced that every one of my students could learn the material if they worked hard and long enough.

After several more years of teaching, I came to the conclusion that what we need in education is a much better understanding of students and learning from a motivational perspective, from a psychological perspective. In education, the one thing we know how to measure best is IQ. But what if doing well in school and in life depends on much more than your ability to learn quickly and easily? So I left the classroom, and I went to graduate school to become a psychologist. I started studying kids and adults in all kinds of super challenging settings, and in every study my question was, who is successful here and why? My research team and I went to West Point Military Academy. We tried to predict which cadets would stay in military training and which would drop out. We went to the National Spelling Bee and tried to predict which children would advance farthest in competition. We studied rookie teachers working in really tough neighborhoods, asking which teachers are still going to be here in teaching by the end of the school year, and of those, who will be the most effective at improving learning outcomes for their students? We partnered with private companies, asking, which of these salespeople is going to keep their jobs? And who's going to earn the most money?

In all those very different contexts, one characteristic emerged as a significant predictor of success. And it wasn't social intelligence. It wasn't good looks, physical health, and it wasn't IQ. It was grit. Grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals. Grit is having stamina. Grit is sticking with your future, day in, day out, not just for the week, not just for the month, but for years, and working really hard to make that future a reality. Grit is living life like it's a marathon, not a sprint. A few years ago, I started studying grit in the Chicago public schools. I asked thousands of high school junior to take grit questionnaires, and then waited around more than a year to see who would graduate. Turns out that grittier kids were significantly more likely to graduate, even when I matched them on every characteristic I could measure, things like family income, standardized achievement test scores, even how safe kids felt when they were at school. So it's not just at West Point or the National Spelling Bee that grit matters. It's also in school, especially for kids at risk for dropping out.

To me, the most shocking thing about grit is how little we know, how little science knows, about building it. Every day, parents and teachers ask me, "How do I build grit in kids? What do I do to teach kids a solid work ethic? How do I keep them motivated for the long run?" The honest answer is, I don't know. What I do know is that talent doesn't make you gritty. Our data show very clearly that there are many talented individuals who simply do not follow through on their commitments. In fact, in our data, grit is usually unrelated or even inversely related to measures of talent. So far, the best idea I've heard about building grit in kids is something called "growth mindset." This is an idea developed at Stanford University by Carol Dweck, and it is the belief that the ability to learn is not fixed, that it can change with your effort. Dr. Dweck has shown that when kids read and learn about the brain and how it changes and grows in response to challenge, they're much more likely to persevere when they fail, because they don't believe that failure is a permanent condition. So growth mindset is a great idea for building grit. But we need more. And that's where I'm going to end my remarks, because that's where we are. That's the work that stands before us. We need to take our best ideas, our strongest intuitions, and we need to test them. We need to measure whether we've been successful, and we have to be willing to fail, to be wrong, to start over again with lessons learned. In other words, we need to be gritty about getting our kids grittier.
Thank you.
