The psychology of perseverance and its connection to success is the focus of this Majlis Mohamed bin Zayed session, featuring Dr Angela Duckworth. Known for her work on the concept of 'grit', Dr Duckworth explains that true grit combines sustained passion and long-term perseverance. She breaks it down into three key components: passion rooted in interest and purpose; perseverance shaped through daily, deliberate practice; and a growth mindset that helps individuals rise to challenges. Emphasising that grit can be developed, she highlights how anyone can learn to work hard, grow from setbacks, and pursue goals driven by personal interests and a commitment to improving the lives of others.
