Leaving a high-flying job in consulting, Angela Lee Duckworth took a job teaching math to seventh graders in a New York public school.

Grit一词在古英语中的原义是沙砾，即沙堆中坚硬耐磨的颗粒。
辞去企业管理咨询行业的一份前途无量的工作, Angela到纽约的一所公立学校教七年级学生数学。她很快意识到IQ并不是将未来成功的学生和那些挣扎过但失败的学生区分开来的唯一标准。在这里，她解释了她自己的理论——成功的先兆是”毅力”。
演说题目：Grit: The power of passion and perseverance
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. 在我27岁的时候，我辞去了一份非常有挑战性的职业—企业管理咨询，转而投入了一份更加具有挑战性的职业：教育。我来到纽约的一些公立学校教7年级的学生的数学。
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.
这引起了我的思考。当然，学生们在7年级需要学习的东西是有难度的，像比率，小数，平行四边形的面积计算。但是这些概念是完全可以被掌握的，我坚信我的每一位学生都可以学会教材内容，只要他们肯花时间和精力的话。
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. 经过几年教学之后，我得出一个结论，我们在教育方面所需要的是从学习动力的角度和心理学的角度，对学生和学习行为进行一次更为深刻的理解。
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? 我们研究在恶劣的工作环境下工作的，刚入行的老师，询问他们哪些老师决定会在学年结束后继续留下来任教，以及他们之中谁能最快地提高学生的学习成绩。
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.我们与私企合作，向他们询问哪些销售人员可以保住工作，哪些可以赚钱最多？在所有那些不同的情境下，一种性格特征凸显了出来，这种特征在很大程度上预示了成功。
And it wasn't social intelligence. It wasn't good looks, physical health, and it wasn't I.Q. It was grit.Grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals. Grit is having stamina. 而且它并不是社交智力。不是漂亮的外表，强健的体魄，也不是很高的IQ，它是毅力。毅力是对长远目标的激情和坚持，毅力是拥有持久的恒劲，
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. 所有不仅仅是在西点军校里或者全国拼字比赛上才需要毅力。在学校亦是如此，尤其是对于那些徘徊在辍学边缘的孩子们。
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? 对于我自己来说，关于毅力最让我震惊的事情莫过于对于毅力，我们知之甚少，在培养毅力上，科学对理解的认识又是何等贫乏。每天都有家长和老师来问我，“我怎样做才能培养孩子的毅力呢?
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. 该做些什么才能教授给孩子们真正的职业道德？又该怎样调动他们长期的积极性呢？”老实说，我不知道。我所知道的是，才华并不能使你坚韧不拔。
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.杜威克教授表示，当孩子们阅读和学习有关大脑的知识以及它在面对挑战时所发生的变化和成长情况，他们失败之后更容易坚持下去，因为他们不相信会一直失败下去。
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, 因此，成长性思维模式对培养毅力大有裨益。但是我们需要更多。我决定在此结束我的评论，因为我们正在经历着这一切。这是眼前所面临的工作。我们要拿出最好的想法、
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.最强的直觉，我们要对他们进行实践。我们需要估量这一切是否成功同时还要渴望对失败和错误，要从这些失败中汲取经验重新再来。
In other words, we need to be gritty about getting our kids grittier.Thank you.换句话说，我们只有自己变得更有毅力才能让我们的孩子变得更有毅力。谢谢大家！
