TED Talk: The power of passion and perseverance

In this motivated speech, I've learned 5 new words:

1.struck
The past simple and past participle of strick.

2.stratospheric
relating to the stratosphere (= the layer of gases surrounding the earth at a height of between 15 and 50 kilometers)









3.perspective
to think about a situation or problem in a wise and reasonable way.


4.military
relating to or belonging to the armed forces.


5.stamina
the physical and/or mental strength to do something that might be difficult and will take a long time.

The power of passion and perseverance:

Enthusiasm drives people to focus more on one thing and is willing to pay more time and effort than the average person to achieve.

Introduce the talk

Willpower usually has nothing to do with talent. Sometimes even inversely proportional. At present, the best way to exercise your child's willpower is to "growth thinking mode". This model believes that learning is not static, it will change according to your efforts.
