“Nothing is more fatal to the progress of the

complete, that there are no mysteries in nature,
and that there are no new worlds to conquer.”

53. ‘Learning is hard. True, learning is fun, exhilarating
and gratifying – but it is often daunting, exhausting
and sometimes discouraging… To help chronically
low-performing but intelligent students, educators
and parents must first recognise that character is at
least as important as intellect.’
Angela Duckworth p61 in How Children succeed.
@davidErogers
Grit can’t be taught but schools can create the conditions
in which it can be grown.
