1、TED题:Grit:The power of passion and perseverance作者:Angela Duckworth成功的关键不是智商,是毅When I was 27 years old,I left a very demanding job in management consulting for a job that was even more demanding:teaching.I went to teach seventh graders math in the New York City public schools.And like any teacher,I m
2、ade quizzes and tests.I gave out homework assignments.When the work came back,I calculated grades.在我27岁的时候,我辞去了份常有挑战性的职业企业管理咨询,转投了份更加具有挑战性的职业:教育。我来到纽约的 些公学校教7年级的学的数学。和别的师样,我会给学们做测验和考试,我会给他们布置家庭作业。当这些试卷和作业收 上来之后,我计算了他们的成绩。What struck me was that IQ was not the only difference between my best and my w
3、orst students.Some of my strongest performers did not have stratospheric IQ scores.Some of my smartest kids werent doing so well.And that got me thinking.The kinds of things you need to learn in seventh grade math,sure,theyre hard:ratios,decimals,the area of a parallelogram.But these concepts are no
4、t impossible,and I was firmly convinced that every one of my students could learn the material if they worked hard and long enough.让我震惊的是,IQ的低并不是我最好的和最差的学之间唯的差别。些在课业上表现很好的学并不具有常的IQ分数。些常聪明的孩反在课业上表现的不那么尽如意。这引起了我的思考。当然,学们在7年级需要学习的东西是有难度的,像率,数,平四边形的积计算。但是这些概念是完全可以被掌握的,我坚信我的每位学都可以学会教材内容,只要他们肯花时间和精的话。quiz
5、zesn.测验stratosphericadj.最层的decimaladj.数的parallelogramn.平四边形After several more years of teaching,I came to the conclusion that what we need in education is a much better understanding of students and learning from a motivational perspective,from a psychological perspective.In education,the one thing
6、we know how to measure best is IQ.But what if doing well in school and in life depends on much more than your ability to learn quickly and easily?经过年教学之后,我得出个结论,我们在教育所需要的是从学习动的度和理学的度,对学和学习为进次更为深刻的理解。在教育体系中,我们都知道评价优秀学的标准就是IQ,但如果在学校和活中的优秀表现远不仅仅依赖于你轻松效学习的能呢?So I left the classroom,and I went to graduat
7、e school to become a psychologist.I started studying kids and adults in all kinds of super challenging settings,and in every study my question was,who is successful here and why?My research team and I went to West Point Military Academy.We tried to predict which cadets would stay in military trainin
8、g and which would drop out.We went to the National Spelling Bee and tried to predict which children would advance farthest in competition.We studied rookie teachers working in really tough neighborhoods,asking which teachers are still going to be here in teaching by the end of the school year,and of
9、 those,who will be the most effective at improving learning outcomes for their students?所有我离开了讲台,回到学校继续攻读理学硕学位。我开始研究孩和,在各种常具有挑战性的情况下,以及在各项研究中,我的问题是谁才是成功者,为什么他们会成功?我和我的研究团队前往西点军校展开调研,我们试图预测哪些学 员能够耐得住军队的训练,哪些会被淘汰出局。我们前去观摩全国拼字赛,同时也试着预测哪些孩会晋级到最后的赛。我们研究在恶劣的作环境 下作的,刚的师,询问他们哪些师决定会在学年结束后继续留下来任教,以及他们之 中谁能最快地

11、uccess.And it wasnt social intelligence.It wasnt good looks,physical health,and it wasnt IQ.It was grit.我们与私企合作,向他们询问哪些销售员可以保住作,哪些可以赚钱最多?在所有那些不同的情境下,种性格特征凸显了出来,这种特征在很程度 上预了成功。且它并不是社交智。不是漂亮的外表,强健的体魄,也不是很的IQ,它是毅。Grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals.Grit is having stamina.Grit is s
12、ticking with your future,day in,day out,not just for the week,not just for the month,but for years,and working really hard to make that future a reality.Grit is living life like its a marathon,not a sprint.毅是对长远标的激情和坚持,毅是拥有持久的恒劲,毅是你对未来的坚持,复不是仅仅持续个星期或者个,是年甚年努奋着让的梦想变为现实。毅是把活当成场马拉松不是次短跑。A few years ago
13、,I started studying grit in the Chicago public schools.I asked thousands of high school juniors to take grit questionnaires,and then waited around more than a year to see who would graduate.年前,在芝加哥的公学校,我开始研究毅。我对 上千名初中进了关于毅的问卷调查,然后等候了年多,来看最终哪些学能毕业。characteristicn.特点,特征staminan.耐,持久sprintn.短跑Turns out
14、 that grittier kids were significantly more likely to graduate,even when I matched them on every characteristic I could measure,things like family income,standardized achievement test scores,even how safe kids felt when they were at school.So its not just at West Point or the National Spelling Bee t
15、hat grit matters.Its also in school,especially for kids at risk for dropping out.结果证明那些更具毅的学在毕业的概率上占绝对优势,即使是在同样可以量化的外在因素下像家庭收,标准化成绩测验的分数,甚是孩们在学校能获得多少安全感之类,仍是有毅的学更容易毕业所有不仅仅是在西点军校或者全国拼字赛上才需要毅。在学校亦是如此,尤其是对于那些徘徊在辍学边缘的孩们。To me,the most shocking thing about grit is how little we know,how little science kn
16、ows,about building it.Every day,parents and teachers ask me,How do I build grit in kids?What do I do to teach kids a solid work ethic?How do I keep them motivated for the long run?The honest answer is,I dont know.对于我来说,关于毅最让我震惊的事情莫过于对于毅,我们知之甚少,在培养毅上,科学对理解的认识又是何等贫乏。每天都有家长和师来问我,”我怎样做才 能培养孩的毅呢?该做些什么才能教
17、授给孩们真正的职业道德?又 该怎样调动他们长期的积极性呢?”实说,我不知道。What I do know is that talent doesnt make you gritty.Our data show very clearly that there are many talented individuals who simply do not follow through on their commitments.In fact,in our data,grit is usually unrelated or even inversely related to measures of
18、talent.我所知道的是,才华并不能使你坚韧不拔。我们的数据 分清楚地表明,有许多才华横溢的,他们都法坚持兑现的承诺。事实上,根据我们的数据来看,毅通常与其他因素关,甚与才华的衡量标准背道驰。drop out辍学ethicn.道德规范commitmentn.忠诚,承诺unrelatedadj.关的inverselyadv.相反地So far,the best idea Ive heard about building grit in kids is something called growth mindset.This is an idea developed at Stanford Un
19、iversity by Carol Dweck,and it is the belief that the ability to learn is not fixed,that it can change with your effort.Dr.Dweck has shown that when kids read and learn about the brain and how it changes and grows in response to challenge,theyre much more likely to persevere when they fail,because t
20、hey dont believe that failure is a permanent condition.到前为,我所听说过的在孩上培养坚韧品质最有效的法叫”成长型思维模式。”斯坦福学卡洛杜威克提出过个观点,他相信的学习能是可变的,它随着 你的努程度变化。杜威克教授表,当孩们阅读和学习有关脑的知识以及它在对挑战时所发的变化和成长情况,他们失败之后更容易坚持下去,因为他们不相信会直失败 下去。So growth mindset is a great idea for building grit.But we need more.And thats where Im going to end
21、my remarks,because thats where we are.Thats the work that stands before us.We need to take our best ideas,our strongest intuitions,and we need to test them.We need to measure whether weve been successful,and we have to be willing to fail,to be wrong,to start over again with lessons learned.因此,成长性思维模式对培养毅有裨益。但是我们需要更多。我决定在此结束我的评论,因为我们正在经历着这切。这是眼前所临的作。我们要拿出最好的想法和最强的直觉,我们要对他们进实践。我们需要估量这-切是否成功同时还要渴望对失败和错误,要从这些失败中汲取经验重新再来。In other words,we need to be gritty about getting our kids grittier.换句话说,我们只有变得更有毅才能让我们的孩变得更有毅。growth mindset成型思维模式remarkn.论,议论
