Her presentation skills after 4 years are much more better than in 2009. Her latest talk about Grit in TED impresses me strongly. Her body languages are so charming, and that makes me search for her biography. It directed me to this old video. xD No more filter " Ah, um.." , cross her arms, smile so often and she looks now more attractive with clearer voice. Thump up if you agree !

Her presentation skills after 4 years are much more better AS SHE HAS MATURED. Maturity comes from both the added years and the additional study she undertook. That is her GRIT

Grit is a small word in integrity, integrity will always get you to the top of your field. Dish washer to restaurant owner. My father taught me 2 of the most important aspects of success, any one can mess it up, it’s who can follow through and fix it. If you are going to take the time to start something, follow through and finish it.

I think jumping from one subject to another can be very fruitful in fact. It creates creativity. If you follow one task for long term you might fall into tunnel-vision issue in your work/subject.

Incredible talk and message. Explains aptly why the people who really love what they do in life- whatever it is- tend to come out on top of their game because they WANT to do it all the time and master that subject, so they have natural grit towards that goal. Wish I'd been encouraged to think about grit not talent from a young age, far more inspiring.

This is a marvelous talk. Takes my Don't Eat the Marshmallow Yet talk in TED to a higher level in regards to what is needed to achieve very high levels of success. Highly impressed with Dr. Duckworth and I congratulate her.

I didn't realize listening to this in 2024 meant that I would get mentally flashbanged every time she says "gritty"

I'm in love with this woman with all respect... she's great!

What a great presentation about an important topic that we are trying to develop in our students so that they can be successful in not only school, but life.

This is one of my favorite TED talks. I'd love to hear Angela do another talk some day.

The best part of the video was passion + talent + hard work= Achievement.

She should be proud of what she has achieved. No need to feel bad about this career record.

I don't know why people are having such an issue with "um"s.. I didn't even notice it until I saw it in the comments below. She was engaging throughout the entire presentation.

im happy that she is not repeating herself in this ted talk, and also enjoy her personal story.

She is a great speaker.

Great lecture.

grit is a passion of person

What questions do you think encourage people to acquire grit?

Great presentation ...am currently reading Grit very inspiring

Grit and Perseverance.

You know, I have just watched her lastest video and been impressed just like you ;)

Does anyone know if there is clip of this talk with better video quality? At least 480p would be nice!

so how do I use girt in my class work

I agree that grit and hard work are needed to be successful and high achievement. I also think some people get a dopamine high by some activity that cause them to focus and work as part of a reward process. You see this in video gamer that are stimulated by game play and they are getting doped by the activity.

Not "the ability to work hard" so much as "the ability to work hard on a specific goal".

the definition of HARD and what is this SPECIFIC makes all the difference

does anyone know what movie is she talking about at 5:46?

I completely with Robert165. The NFL is the best example of GRIT. Every year players with lots of talent don't stay in the NFL because of their work effort. Then there are players with out the talent who work hard (Jeff Garcia). The nfl is a perfect example of grit.

So, Angela, can I come work with you? I've known about grit forever--learned it from my dad. My favorite saying is, "It's mostly a matter of perseverance." I am a HS science teacher, and you are dead on... I don't know how to teach kids to have grit, though... therein lies my problem. Thank You!!!

interesting lecture.. I am a coach enjoyed this lecture very much

listening to her is punishing, made it to 14 minutes. she's like a walking encyclopedia. i hope she is doing well now, ten yrs later

How to gain grit?

Not an indicator, but a predictor. The difference is that success comes from hard work, not the other way around. Yes, every person has different aptitudes, but a good deal of behavior and ability is environmental; look at Einstein, look at Micheal Jordan: both were terrible at their professions in school (failing math and getting booted from the basketball team, respectively) and yet they ended up being iconic for their achievements. They were passionate and they worked for that success.

My question is how to maintain grit?

Why are psychologists and theoretical educationalists still punting the idea (vanity metric) that there is a causal relationship between teaching ability and student performance. In my experience student will pass or fail despite the efforts of their teachers rather than because of those efforts, regardless of how innovative, creative or conservative the methods might be.

@scottwickham8328

I am a veteran teacher who has been in the profession for 22 years. I had a professor explain that we all have 3 groups in each class: one group that will get an A regardless of how terrible the teacher is, one group that will fail regardless of how hard the teacher works to prevent it, and one group that can go either way. Focus on that middle group. That's the reality, but it is a professionally treacherous statement to make even though we all think it.

She's just as engaging in person -- if not more so.

Save for the fact that she said "um" about a thousand times.

" Why is it that gritty kids are winnining the spelling b?"

The 'um' and arm folding is first 3 min. (Maybe she not defensive but cold.)

Cristiano Ronaldo is an icon for effort and grit

Why would the scores of children reflect the grit of the teacher? There are other possible factors such as home life, prior education, home resources, etc.

grit shows something about the systems being observed

All the measure of grit are subjective, what if they were only the name we give to some endowment I.Q. can't measure? The result of low self-esteem and/or the social judgment on celebrating one's own skills?

Da Vinci is often brought up often as one of the greatest geniuses of our time, yet he flitted around from project to project, subject to subject. I think true grit has a lot of merit but where does Da Vinci fit in to that equation?

Please dont downplay intelligence Dr. Duckworth May be we have a somewhat different definition of intelligence. When defined as a skill of solving problem intelligence and also find you help find the GRITS

ok so whats grit? im lost

True Grit is not a "somewhat mediocre western." It's a fantastic film. Your whole argument fell apart for me when you said that! I didn't know that renowned film critic was also on your extensive resume.

Great talk, can be related to any facet of life. For every Michael Jordan, there is a Kwame Brown

The talk is gteat. Unfortunately for me, I am distracted by Dr. Duckworth's many "ums." The fillers we use profusely in our language actually weaken our message. I believe that those who make their living speaking would do well to work on this. Think about it, Dr. MLK or President Obama would not have risen to the heights they have and did if they used fillers unconsciously. My students let me know when I use from my bag of fillers.
