The Power of Grit

Dr. Angela Lee Duckworth discusses her research into what factors lead to success in education and life, beyond traditional measures like IQ. She identifies 'grit'—a combination of passion and long-term perseverance—as the key predictor of success across various challenging environments. Duckworth defines grit as the endurance to pursue and achieve long-term goals, emphasizing the importance of consistent effort over years rather than short-term bursts of effort. She portrays success as a marathon, requiring sustained commitment and hard work.

Appreciate this study,
but we still learn to just make it through the schooling system. From primary school, to university.
Unemployment is our biggest threat and we cope by taking a quick dose of the system as often as we can, so to curb the challenge of being employable.
