I often set a goal, but later choose to pursue a different one.

Wouldn't it be a wonderful life to find some learning curve that you don't want to drop out of?

The common denominator that I have discovered across achievement in every domain is something

that is not correlated with your IQ or any other measure of talent, and that is grit.

Now, before I tell you what I've discovered about grit, I just want to say it's not the only thing that you care about.

I know this.

You have some infinite bookshelf in your head of all the things that you want to be, that you hope your workplace culture will exemplify and support,

but I will take this book off the shelf, so to speak, because it is a common denominator, and it is something I believe that we can all develop intentionally.

Now I'm going to give you some items from the GRIT scale.

So, let's go.

This is a questionnaire that I developed from interviewing high achievers.

And when I assess grit, I ask you to reflect on, for example, whether if I talk to people who work closely with you,

would they go out of their way to tell me that you're an especially hard worker?

Here's another item.

Rate yourself.

Do you finish whatever you begin?

This is my personally favorite item.

It's the single most predictive item on the entire questionnaire of

course I'm sure you know you're wondering whether it's okay to

quit things absolutely I think it's important to quit things

but I think there is a bias in people with grit not to quit they will quit

but they kind of hate to do it okay so these are two items from the perseverance sub scale

of the overall grit scale and you know you say yes you get a higher perseverance score, you had a higher overall grit score.

Now I'm going to show you two more items, and they are from the passion subscale.

And I have to warn you, they're reverse scored.

So the more you say yes, the lower your passion subscore, the lower your grit score.

Okay, for example, I have difficulty maintaining my focus on projects that take more than a few months to complete.

Here's another reverse scored item.

I often set a goal, but later choose to pursue a different one.

Now this passion that I talk about, and since we're all here together in person, which I love, I want to explain that it's not so much intensity

that I have found to be remarkable about high achievers in terms of their passion.

It's interestingly, it's about their consistency.

It's not like, oh hey, I just pulled three all -nighters to which I say, you should get more sleep.

It's really about I get up again, and I get up again, and I get up again, and I get up again, and when I get up,

I am still devoted with enthusiasm, with real authenticity to this purpose, which I think is important enough for me to keep going.

So not intensity, like fireworks, but stamina, like you're running a marathon.

So what is grit?

Grit is perseverance and passion for especially long -term goals.

And I think this is what's true about grit and why I continue to admire people like Michael who are, you know, grit paragons and grit fans.

It's not that I think you should stick with anything that you started, but it is this.

And again, I tell my own daughters this.

Wouldn't it be a wonderful life to find some learning curve that you don't want to drop out of.

Wouldn't it be a wonderful thing in your life, whether or not you win a Nobel Prize, to achieve excellence, to achieve your potential?

And to do that, you need not only high quantity, but high quality practice.

What is a growth mindset?

A growth mindset is a theory.

It's a theory about human nature.

If you have a growth mindset, you believe that people in fundamental ways can change,

that you can even get smarter.

Now, I'm going to confess to you that when I started to learn about growth mindset myself, it was, as I said,

20 -plus years ago, I began collaborating with folks at Stanford, which is where Carol is now as a professor, and we would be having these meetings, and we'd be looking at,

like, a table from a paper, and my colleague James would say, oh, Angela, Table 2, I don't really understand that.

Can you help me get smarter?

And I would always just have to, like, pause.

I'm like, did he just say get smarter?

I'm like, oh, you want me to explain Table 2?

Yeah, well, this is Table 2.

And he would say it over and over again, and so would Carol.

And then I figured out they were trying to get me not to have a fixed mindset.

What's a fixed mindset?

A fixed mindset is someone who says, what?

Did you just say you get smarter?

Did you just say you could like fundamentally change?

I mean, because either you're smart or you're not.

You're a gifted public speaker or you're not.

You're a natural athlete or you're not.

A fixed mindset is also a theory.

It is also a theory of human nature.

And that theory says that in fundamental ways, people don't change.

Now, something that Carol taught me early in our relationship is that,

surprisingly to me, it doesn't really matter which one you have when everything's going great.

Getting straight A's, you're the prom queen or the prom king, everything's coming up roses, fixed mindset's fine.

But what happens on the bad days?

What happens when you give a talk and it doesn't go well?

What happens when you hold a meeting and nothing turned out the way you thought it would?

On days of challenge, on days of setback,

on days of failure, you have a rational reason to get up again if you have a growth mindset.

Because a growth mindset tells you that whatever happened, you can learn from it.

And you can grow from it.

And you will be stronger for it.

That's what a growth mindset is.

That's why I think it's one of the most important discoveries in the history of psychology.

Let me share with you a story of an Olympic swimmer who was interviewed by scientists at the University of Chicago.

It was a study of world -class achievers.

He was one of 120 subjects.

And he was already retired.

He had already, you know, Olympic medals, et cetera.

Here's a story he told.

When I was 11, I wanted to bag it because I was doing very badly.

My dad at that point did something that was very important.

He said, if you want to quit, that's fine, but I don't want you to quit simply because you're losing.

So I'm going to continue to drive you to workouts and force you to swim, and once you turn 12 and you're at the top of your age group, you'll start to do well.

If you want to quit, then that's fine.

Now, the scientists at the University of Chicago were a little freaked out by this part of the interview.

They asked a ton of follow -up questions like, so it sounds like your parents forced you to become a professional swimmer against your will

when you were 11

and the swimmer said no no you're not um i'm not communicating the context my mom

and my dad loved me

so much they just didn't want me to quit on a bad day i have interviewed dozens

100

if not hundreds of paragons of grit every single one of them has a story like this and so do you.

101

And what I want to share with you about what I've learned about Grit is that it's not DIY.

102

It's forged through relationships because frankly everybody has bad days.

103

We might not get into it

104

but I had a lot of bad days last year writing my second book and I said out loud I quit.

105

I said it while sobbing, right?

106

And my mentors including my editor but also my husband said,

107

if you want to quit on a good day, that's fine.

108

But I care about you too much to let you quit on a bad one.

109

And finally, let me open the aperture up to its widest diameter and say something about culture, something you know more about than I do.

110

In the country of Finland, it's a very small country, there are fewer Finns than there are New Yorkers.

111

Let's give you some context.

112

In Finland they have this word called sisu, and sisu translates directly to intestines actually, but the symbolic meaning is fortitude or grit.

113

And the Finns believe that only they have sisu.

114

So when the French give up and the Americans of course have given up and the Japanese have given up, everyone's given up, the Finns are like,

115

but we still stand strong because we are Finns and we have sisu.

116

Now I had a graduate student named Amelia who came to work with me for a year.

117

And I said, Amelia, you cannot have something inside your intestines that makes you different from everyone else.

118

And she said, Professor Duckworth, with respect, you're missing the point.

119

It's about identity.

120

What is culture if not the way we do things around here?

121

And she said, that's what makes us special.

122

That's what gives us strength.

123

And I could not agree more.

124

I one of the most important things that anybody could work on, because I don't think you can express grit or develop grit if you don't have a great place to work.

Why Effort Matters More Than Talent | Angela Duckworth

Business EnglishUniversity StudentsWorking Adults

FOR YOU

为何这个视频是绝佳的口语练习素材？

这段关于“ grit ”（坚毅）的演讲不仅内容深刻，更是英语口语练习的宝藏。演讲者安吉拉·达克沃斯的表达清晰自然，语速适中，充满口语化的停顿和重音，非常适合用来训练“ shadow speech ”（影子跟读法）。她对长句的处理、情感的起伏，能帮助学习者掌握英语发音的节奏与语调，无论是日常交流还是雅思口语练习，都能从中受益。

拆解经典表达，学会自然说话

我们来剖析几个让演讲听起来生动的句子：

“Wouldn't it be a wonderful life to find some learning curve that you don't want to drop out of?” 这里用反问句引发共鸣，“drop out of”形象地表达“放弃”，比生硬的“give up”更自然。练习时注意升调的使用，传递期待感。
“It's not intensity, like fireworks, but stamina, like you're running a marathon.” 用比喻让抽象概念具象化，“like fireworks”和“like a marathon”的对比，既生动又容易模仿。跟读时要突出“not...but...”的重音，强化逻辑感。
“I often set a goal, but later choose to pursue a different one.” 这是典型的口语化转折，“but”后的停顿的自然，体现思考过程。模仿时注意语气的弱化，避免过于生硬。

简单高效的“影子跟读法”训练流程

利用这个视频进行shadowspeaks练习，只需三步：

先完整听一遍片段，感受整体节奏与情感。
逐句跟读，每句重复3-5次。播放一句，暂停，立即跟读，重点模仿发音、重音和停顿。比如“Grit is perseverance and passion for especially long-term goals”，要强调“perseverance”和“passion”的重音，拉长“long-term”的语调。
录音对比。将自己的跟读录音与原视频对比，找出发音、节奏的差异，针对性改进。坚持一周，你会发现英语发音更流畅，口语表达更自然。

记住，口语练习贵在坚持。就像演讲中说的“grit”，每天10分钟的影子跟读，日积月累就能看到进步。快打开视频，开始你的“马拉松”式口语训练吧！

视频中的语法

说话人最常用的结构，并附上视频中的原话：

结构	视频中的用法
现在完成时 have/has + 过去分词 — 过去发生但与现在仍有关联的事	have discovered · I've discovered · have found
被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么，而不是谁做的	is not correlated · was interviewed · was already retired
定语从句 who / which + 从句 — 补充说明人或事物	people who work · Stanford, which is · someone who says

什么是跟读法？

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
