For those of you who do not know me well, you would not have a clue why I am suggesting you watch this TED Talk. Perhaps you have not yet been introduced to the "world of TED" but I am about to show you something worth having.
I think it would serve you well to watch this talk about GRIT.
You see, yesterday a young woman asked me this question.
Why do we have to do all this school work and write exams?
I have been asked this question many, times and in different ways , even by my very own kids.
The rub here is that learning all that you have to at school is called EDUCATION. It is what a blessing to receive one and there are many who do not. Most of what you learn becomes part of you in the form of character
You rise up out of schooling with attitudes, habits , ideas and thinking that are who you are. You learn to agree or disagree. You descover what you like and do not. You get to test your ideas in a safe place. Some of what you learn you might forget but your brain has changed and grown and formed in the process and THIS is what you need in life. So, DO not give up!!
Watch this!!
enjoy
