Key to Success

Video: Angela Lee Duckworth: The Key To Success
Place to View it: YouTube

This video is about this woman, Angela Lee Duckworth and her explaining to the audience what drove her into her fields and her discovery of grit.
Grit is this passion in people that allows them to push forward, gives them the strength and will to work for what they want to accomplish. Most people that succeed in school and in other life situations will succeed because they have grit.
That's about all that is known about grit.
I have seen people with grit (my sister for one) and seen them work hard in different ways that work for them, and later accomplish what they want. Even if they don't succeed at their challenge, these people with grit pick themselves up quickly and try again.
I think I have a bit of grit, but use it for other things like personal hobbies instead of legit work. This video, however, made me think of how I can apply this drive I get from doing my hobbies and apply it to school and other forms of work I have.
All in all, this video is inspiring and belongs where it is; but it should also get on TV so that younger and older audiences that don't have access to the internet can see it, and hopefully become inspired like I was.

  1. Perfect posting Jackie. Well done. I do hope you apply some "grit" to this course. It's time to get your time management and organizational skills organized for University or College.
