and we really are born not knowing how to even do that, we are born knowing nothing and we just learn how to learn as the time goes by we discover mistakes we did in the process of learning itself and it's basically what she started with on "deliberate practice"
32:25 Great question. I often think the same thing. How do you know what area to have grit about. Having Graduated from college and having new skills abilities and knowledge is a great thing. But no one wants to waste time on a project of 'grit' that has no fruit. Angela's answer hit the nail on the head. We need to think about your motivational drives and interests.
For gritty kids I think a portion is kids being allowed to explore those passions. Being encouraged to learn outside of school, being encouraged to learn for life, etc
If you've ever come to Cambridge UK and did punting there, you'll appreciate the number one rule for punting is to let it go when the pole gets stuck in the water, as otherwise you the punter will get pulled into water instead of pulling the pole out from the water. It taught me a precise point when to let it go and when to have grit.
“I am glad that I didn’t marry my first boyfriend!”. Great answer to the question about how do you find out what to be gritty about . Explore with purpose.
Fascinating talk by Angela.. Kudos to her beautiful work on grit. The best take away was compund interest is the eighth wonder of world. And if compounded in a particular inclination then it can do wonders.
“I’ll show you” for me is related to the sense of purpose and mission she described. It’s a public service to show ppl something they didn’t believe in before.
3 years ago, I did aspiration study for my undergraduate thesis and I missed the concept of "Grit" to build the character development of my respondents.'though, there were no academic-related readings by that time, I'm really glad that I discovered Dr. Lee-Duckworth's study. :-)

hi from Nigeria, I read and loved the book. I realized I had grit and did my research and came across her book, which explains exactly what I'm going through. also Eric Thomas and tony Robison explains Grit through motivation.
@Darryl Develops Trump leases his name out. He more than likely figuratively and literally did not build that hotel. His property management company probably did the project management in the development of said hotel or his company runs the property management for said hotel. There are other buildings to where they took his name off the building..
Didn't read your book . It seems the book throws a great enlightenment in the area of Passion , Hardworking, Presvervance , motivation etc Let your services through grit serve the humanity greatly .
Grit is not the secret to perseverance and success, LOVE is. Truly, If Angela Duckworth is a mother who loves her child or children she herself would agree.
Very thorough interview on Grit. Excellent once you have read the book and viewed the Ted Talk. I liked hearing about the discrepancies for measuring Grit and other Character Attributes.
Fantastic interview, Angela, thanks a lot! I wonder if it would be possible to find correlation between the least grittiest countries (Japan, Korea, China), and the Happiest countries in the world (Scandinavian)? What if the happiest countries are actually the most miserable? How to figure out what's actually going on?!
A data point: Finland has one of the highest suicide rates in the world. So I think the method to calculate the "happiness" quotient in that study wasn't comprehensive enough.
She is right on point. The thinks that I have succeeded on in my life have been the ones where I applied grit and just worked hard on them and tried to do it well and did a good job. And many of those I actually had little passion for - I didn't really enjoy doing the, just did them because I decided to and made the best of it while doing it. Might was well be happy doing this thing rather than miserable.
Then there have been other things that I have had passion for - enjoyed doing them, did them for fun, easy to wake up for that, etc. But I just went and did it and had fun. And I got better at it up to a certain level, then reach a plateau. What I get listening to her, is that with a bit of application of grit also to those things that I have passion for, it is likely that I can "succeed" at those to a higher level of success in competitions, etc. I have just been having fun doing the things that I have passion for and not trying that hard, working at it consistently as that might make the thing I have passion for less fun. I do know that I gain life satisfaction from those things I have succeeded on due to just grit without particular passion. Anyway, she makes good points.
It doesn't take Grit to listen to Angela speak. She an American icon, a gem, and I love her. Not "in love", but love in a purely platonic, big sister, mother, boss-who-I-like sort of way.
Thank you very much for this talk. I have my definition of Giftedness or Talent: The definition of Talent or Giftedness Giftedness or Talent: The possession of special potential in a subject that has no scientific pillars.
Hmm. If that's true, all successful people with grit, have had trauma to overcome. Sounds like survivorsbias. Indeed, those who overcome painful pressures, have strength. And maybe the most successful people on the tippy top, have shown the most ruthless grit and willingness to budge anyone else. But what many of them seem to have in common with successful people who didn't overcome trauma, is that both have reinforced internal positivity of self belief. You can breed internal belief by forcing someone via negative reinforcement, through which many don't make it anyway, and then carry that internal rejection forever (except for those who 'made it' but never found peace with themselves, forever stuck in propelling self-hatred, of whom most self-destruct). And then there's breeding belief via positive reinforcement. Many who got positive reinforcement also don't 'make it' as 'successful', but at least they won't have to have internalised selfhating negative reinforcement that will make them relentlessly unhappy, and instead they can be more satisfied stable people who just live lives. Most people won't be above-average 'successful' to begin with. We'll never be. This doesn't mean everybody needs to never go through rough elements. It just means life is already shitty by default. Maybe we can try not to always make everybody feel shitty about themselves by default, as a means to push them.
haha, it's interesting. i started running because it was therapeautic, i watch the hours, pay attention to my rythm and i NEVER listen to music. im trying to pay attention to my body and my breath the entire time.

How do you measure Grit? Can we increase Grit? Is Grit different from the five trait model? Why invent a new name for a trait that has its already defined scientific name? Getting a genius award for inventing a new name!
What if you’re stuck doing a degree that you don’t really like but don’t have the resources to get out? Such an inspiring talk btw I just discovered her and she’s really motivating.
are you from pakistan? Anyways I think this can be the worst thing a person can be up to specifically in our country but in my opinion to make it less torturous one can find side interests like let's say a subject that you will totally do for fun. For me it is mathematics and no matter what job I will end up doing, mathematics will reman a component, indeed a crucial one, of my life. So I think such side interests can be helpful and motivating and might function like life long friends and motivators.
As usual, seems the real question/ issue is "how do we find the most hardworking talented self-started individuals who will stay, and opt for a reasonable "competitive" salary?" Which long term is impossible, they will likely start their own business or something eventually. Word to the wise for employers- Do Not take us for granted. No loyalty/ incentivizing and we'll find better opportunities. We know we are not as replaceable as our pay tends to want to show
May I know what’s the name of the journal article that study predictive factors of academic success on 4000 UK students? It's the question from 45:09. Many thanks!
Overall, very helpful. I have read and recommend the book. See 39:30; Nancy said "Just Say No"... doesn't that really tell you everything you need to know?
I kind of agree with Jordan Peterson, grit and conscientiousness sound almost note to note the same. That's why the two are so highly correlated, anyone wanna fight? Duckworth is running on her intelligent word play but I think she has very good intentions .
how do you do anything deliberately in this very fast and adversely changing world. even in business the focus on production or any other business segments is mostly shallow and doesn't allow for deliberate practice or approach.
Grit is reason why it's hard to evaluate the quarterback position in football. The most important position in football comes down to what's above the neck. Are you willing to fight for greatness. Actual athletic ability is not as important
It is pretty much the same content as other self-help speakers. In order to have passion in something, you are required to set a goal, practice on it and embrace feedback.
Is anyone familiar with the recently released book Everyone is an Einstein; and There is an Einstein in Everyone: The Constitution of Genius by author Benjamin Michael? It's a very compelling read!
I wonder if Dr. Duckworth knows about the Kolbe A Index test when Kathy Kolbe has four catagories and one of the them is 'follow through'. It appears that is the 'grit' part? Check it out if you have not known about the Kolbe A Index test! I took the test just to understand myself!
5:53 - Deliberate Practice - 1. Specific Goal 2. Focus 3. Feedback 4. Refinement
You can throw any question at her and she will just answer like a boss!
Not a good sign, BTW. All people who know their shit have a lot to be uncertain at.

Deliberate practice running analogies are really good!
Grit can only be known for a person, if you will test him/her on a particular job with difficulty.
