However, many researches nowadays points out that there are many factors others than smartness along to make children successful. Among those theories, Angela Duckworth‘s “Grit” about hard working and Carol S. Dweck’s “Growth Mind-set” about not giving up stand out the most. These two theories, while having differences, can be surprisingly similar as they are based on a perspective about how…
Failure described as lack of success, is like a present given in different shapes and sizes. With failure comes pain simply because no one thinks it would happen to them. My experience is no different. It hurt, it made me think and then slowly doing what I did it helped me. Sometimes failure is needed to bring out the true potential within.

This notion is simple to conceptualize and easy to understand, but it's this mantra that led an ordinary farm boy into an extraordinary life, a different reality. My dad grew up…

Many people, for whatever reason, think that poverty is permanent, that first-generation college students cannot succeed, that only white males can hold advanced positions at work. There are clearly exceptions to all of these stereotypes and every individual has the power to become one of those exceptions. Simply making a…
The human species has, is, and will always be separated into two distinct categories: those who succeed, and those who fail. Why is this? Why isn’t everybody a success?

I look up…
