【TED演讲】通往成功的秘诀（1/5)
Leaving a high-flying job in consulting, Angela Lee Duckworth took a job teaching math to seventh graders in a New York public school. She quickly realized that IQ wasn’t the only thing separating the successful students from those who struggled. Here, she explains her theory of “grit” as a predictor of success.Hints:

I went to teach seventh graders math in the New York City public schools. And like any teacher, I made quizzes and tests. I gave out homework assignments. When the work came back, I calculated grades. What struck me was that I.Q. was not the only difference between my best and my worst students. Some of my strongest performers did not have stratospheric I.Q. scores. Some of my smartest kids weren't doing so well. And that got me thinking. The kinds of things you need to learn in seventh grade math, sure, they're hard: ratios, decimals, the area of a parallelogram. But these concepts are not impossible, and I was firmly convinced that every one of my students could learn the material if they worked hard and long enough.我27岁的时候，我辞去了一份非常吃力的咨询管理工作，去做了一份更加费力的工作：教学。我到纽约公立学校教授七年级数学。和其他老师一样，我进行小测验和考试，布置家庭作业。作业上交后我计算分数，令我吃惊的是，智商并不是我最好和最差的学生之间的唯一区别。我的许多最好的学生智商并不是最高的，许多最聪明的学生学的并不好。这开始让我思考，你在七年级数学上要学的内容确实很难：比率，小数，还要算平行四边形的面积。但是这些概念并不是无法理解的，而且我坚信，我的每个学生，只要他们足够努力，学习时间足够长，他们都能理解这些概念。
