“There is an unfortunate myth that success is mainly determined by something called ‘ability.’ But research indicates that our best measures of these qualities are unreliable predictors of performance in academics or employment. Psychologist Angela Lee Duckworth says that what really matters is a quality she calls ‘grit’ — an abiding commitment to work hard toward long-range goals and to persevere through the setbacks that come along the way. One aspect of grit that I think is particularly important is the willingness to take a stand when circumstances demand it. Such circumstances may not be all that frequent, but in every life, there will be crucial moments when having the courage to stand up for what you believe will be immensely important.”
“有一个可悲的谬论,说成功主要是由一种被称为‘能力’的东西决定的。但研究表明,即使这些素质获得最精确的衡量,它们也无法可靠地预测一个人的学业或就业表现。心理学家安吉拉·李·达克沃斯(Angela Lee Duckworth)认为,真正重要的是一种她称之为‘刚毅’的品质——始终不渝地致力于一项长期目标,哪怕遇到再大的挫折也毫不气馁。我认为这种品质尤为重要的一个特征是,情势所迫时愿意表明立场。这种情势或许不会来得那么频繁,但每个人在日常生活中总会遇到一些至关重要的时刻,在这个时候,你务必要有勇气站出来,捍卫你自身的信念。”
