Grit: The power of passion and perseverance

TED 2013
Angela Lee Duckworth: Grit: The power of passion and perseverance
The key to success? Grit
Summary
It was a fascinating story for me, because I didn't have a high scores IQ.
Usually, people often think IQ but having high IQ scores equal that they are doing so well and get a good grade. And then they are successful. Is it really true?  The speaker said no. It is not equal and true.
The speaker's noticed about one characteristic after several years of teaching, because her studens who did not get a good grade or have a high scores IQ could learn hard materials if they worked hard and long enough.  So it wasn't social intelligence, it wasn't good looks, physical health, and it wasn't IQ. It was grit that was key to succeed.
Grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals. Grit is living life like it's a marathon with stamina. How is it built in us?  Not only teachers, parents but also speaker  did still not know it well.
So far, it is important to believe that the ability to learn is not fixed, that it can change with your efforts.  Your brain can learn to persevere when you fail but its failure doesn't continue. This is growth mindset that is a great idea for building grit.
Speaker's said that it is necessary to know and test about grit more to be gritty. It leads to get grittier.
I could hear that it could be built in adults. Be gritty and continue. It leads to be successful.

1. Do you think IQ is the only measure of a person’s intelligence?  Why or why not?
No,I don't think that it is not the only,IQ can measure person intelliget though other ways will show people who have good behavior, are artistic, being intelligent.
2. How do you define success? And how can you tell if you are already successful?
I think that success is that you achieve goals that you decided. I am not successful yet, I just now try to succeed in business.
3. Who do you think will succeed more, those people who are intelligent enough or those who managed to accomplish things with grit? Please explain your reason.
I think that success is that you achieve goals that you decided. All people have chance of success. however all of them are not intelligent but don't manage to accomplish things with grit. It is possible for people who are tricky also to succeed, but people who dodn't give up and people are gritty definitely succeed.

I will change my ways when I encounter a failure of your plans. First, I check my goals, propuses and plans that I want do. I read many books to find some ways to improve my action.
It is important the PDCA (plan-do-check-act) cycle.
