The Key to Success

The key to success is something that many individuals search for at different points in their lives. In a Ted Talk by Angela Lee Duckworth, Angela presents the notion that grit is the key to success in any given situation. She states that success is found in people who are willing to put in the effort for the long run.

I agree with her that grit is the key to success. In my experience, sticking through and putting in the effort has made me stronger and more able to complete the task at hand. Choosing a plan and sticking with it will get anyone further in life. Recognizing challenges in your plan is an important thing, because it then helps you realize what you need to do to work around them or get through them. Children should be taught at a young age to push through and stick with their plans even when faced with challenges; this will help create strong character, one that does not quit or give up.
