Angela Lee Duckworth zanechala lukratívnu prácu konzultantky a šla učiť matematiku siedmakov na štátnej škole v New Yorku.  Rýchlo si uvedomila, že IQ nebola jediná vec, ktorá oddeľovala úspešných študentov od tých, ktorí s učivom zápasili. Tu vysvetľuje svoju teóriu „odhodlanosti“ ako predpokladu úspechu.

Odhodlanosť: Sila vášne a vytrvalosti

Perseverance and passion, not IQ or talent, predict who thrives in tough environments. In studies from West Point to the Chicago public schools, those who stuck with their goals over years achieved more, even when facing setbacks. One vivid finding: high school juniors with higher grit scores were far more likely to graduate, regardless of grades or family income. The challenge now is discovering how to instill this resilience in every child.
