Angela lee duckworth. Grit: The power of passion and perseverance
SUMMARY
Angela lee duckworth left a good job to being a math teacher, and as a
common teacher she made tests, she gave out homework and then she calculated de
grades. But she realized that the only difference between her best and worst
students wasn’t only the IQ. So she arrived to de conclusion that the really
important thing is a much better understanding and learning from a motivational
perspective, to prove this she started studying the progress of children in so
much different context, and she realized that there was one characteristic
emerged. The important thing wasn’t the IQ, it wasn’t good looking, and it
wasn’t a good health, the thing really important is the grit, the passion and
perseverance for very long-term goals, living a life like a marathon and not as
a sprint.
VOCABULARY
EMERGE: Sortir
GRIT: Determinació

MY OPINION
I totally agree with that, in my case I'm studynig second of batxillerat and I haven't known yet what I want to do next year I don't have a goal, and as Angela lee said I don't have grit to study and have a good mark to be what I want, I think that if I had a goal maybe I would have best marks.
