Angela Duckworth: Psychology of Achievement - Grit and Self Control

As part of our 20th anniversary celebrations, KIPP Houston Public Schools invited Dr. Angela Duckworth of the University of Pennsylvania (the author of the book 'Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance') to present the “Psychology of Achievement” to Houston-area educators and parents. Duckworth, who was named a 2013 MacArthur Fellow for “transforming our understanding of the roles that grit and self-control play in educational achievement,” shared her knowledge of these attributes and strategies for building them.

That's why I always believe that school system is giving a stigma that scores can measure excellence. And that if you get lower score, it means you are less talented than anyone else in the class. Meanwhile, its hard to find out what you really want but when you get there. You just don't want to stop seeking for more. How can I do more. And be better and better as you go along.

Pottery is great. You can apply such knowledge to everything. No need to limit people from exploring great subjects such as pottery.
