Dr Dweck has shown
that when kids read
and learn about the
brain and how it
changes and grows in
response to challenge they're
much more likely to
persevere when they fail
because they don't believe
that failure is a
permanent condition So growth
mindset is a great
idea for building grit
But we need more
And that's where I'm
going to end my
remarks because that's where
we are That's 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 we've been
successful and we have
to be willing to
fail to be wrong
