Angela Lee's TEDtalk was about success and failure, with grit being the key to success. What is grit? It is passion and perseverance, sticking with your future for not just days or months, but sticking with it for years to make it reality. Angela makes a good comparison of this to a marathon. Success is measured by how hard you work and how long you work, and I completely agree with this fact. She talks about how failure is a motivation to get you to succeed, and failure is not a permanent condition. Having grit makes you more successful in terms of graduating. Grit is unrelated to talent, social intelligence and IQ. It's all about sticking with your long term goals with passion and perseverance. Failure or success? Your pick!
