Sickening work ethic
1.The saparation of talent and skill is one of the greatest misunderstood concepts for people who are tring to excel ,who have dreams ,who want to do things
2.Talent you have naturally
3.skill is only developed by hours and hours and hours of beating on you craft
4.I've never really viewed myself as particutlarly talented
- you know ,while other guy's sleeping,im working

- And while some may see them as the crazy ones,we see genius
- Because the people who are crazy engouh to think they can change the world .are the ones who do .
I aways knew I was going to be rich
- I aways knew I was going to be rich
- I don't think I ever doubted it for a minute
- Einstein reputed to have said that , compound interest is eighth wonder of the world.or something like that
- And it goes back to that story . you probably learned when you were in grade school
- where somebody did somethings for the king.
- And the king said. what can i do for you
- And he said .well, let's take a chessboard .And put one kernel of wheat on first square,and then
double it on the second,double it on the third- And The king is readily agreed to it .And by the time he figured out what two to the 64th amounted to.he was giving away the entire kindom
- So it's a pretty simple concept .but over time. It accompolishes extraordinary things
compound interest
- And very early,probably when i was seven or so.i took this book out of the bensen library.called a thounsand ways to make a $1000.
- And one of The ways in this book was having penny weighing machines.
- And i sat and calculated how much it would cost to buy the first weighing machine.And then how long it would
take for the profit from that one to buy another one.- and i would sit there and create these conpund interest table to figure out how long it would take me to having weighing machines for every people in the world
- I had everybody in the country weighing themselves ten times a day .And me just sitting there like john D'RockeFeller of weigh machines
- that allowance when i was litter boy was a nickel a week.
- but i like the idea of having a litter more than a nickel a week to work with
- and i went into business very early .

17.and i was delivering 500 papers a day- and i made a penny a paper .but in terms of compound .That penny has turned into something else.
method of learning
- Alfred North Whitehead said it one time that "The rapid advance of civilization came only when man invented the method of invention"
- And of couse he was refering to .The huge growth of GDP per capita and all the other good things that we now take of granted which start a few hundred years ago and before that all was stasis.
- That the civilization can progress only when invents the method of invetion .you can progress only when learn the method of learning
- I was very lucky
- i came to law shcool having learned the method of learning .And Nothing has served me better in my long life than continuous learning
- if you take warren buffert and watched him with a time clock.i would say half of all the time he spend is sitting on his ass and reading
- and a big chunk of the rest of the time he was spent to talking one on one . eitheir on the telephone or personally, with hight gifted people whom he trusts and who trust him.
- In other words .It looks quite acamedic .all this worldly success
Change mindset change brain
- Just the word yet or not yet .we're finding .give kids a greate confidence and give a path into the future that creats a greats persistence.
- we can actually change students mindset
3.In one study ,we tought students that every time push out of them comfort zone to learning something new and difficult,The neurons in thier brain can form new ,strongre connections ,And over time they can get smarter.
4.Look what happened .- In this study.students who were not tougth this growth mindset continuous to showed descling grades over this school difficult transition.those who tougth this lesson showed a sharp rebound in this grades .
- We have shown it now ,this kind of improment.with thousands and thousands of kids.especially struggling students
grit is key to success
- So i left the classroom ,and i went to graduate school to become a psychologist .
- I started studing kids ana adults in all kinds of super challenging settings.and in every study my
question was.who's 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 training .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 touch neighborhoods .asking which teachers are still
going to be here in teaching by the end of school years .and of those . who will be the most effective
at improving learning outcomes for their students - we partnered with private compaines .asking which of these salespeople is going to keep their jobs
- and who's going to earn the most money .
- In all those different contexts .one characteristic emerged as a signficant predictor of success.
- and it wasn't social intelligence.
- it wasn't good looks .physical health .and it wasn't iq.
- it was grit
- grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals.
- grit is having stamina.
- grit is sticking with your further. day in ,day out ,not just for the week .not just for the month .
but for years.and working really hard to make that further a reality.
16.grit is living life like marathon .not a sprint .
