Her experience as a teacher helped her understand that just talent wasn't enough to be successful , hardwork was important too.
Explanation:
Angela Duckworth was teaching math when she noticed a behavior in her students.
The successful students weren't the ones who had a natural aptitude, but the one's who worked hard. They displayed a quality she called-grit.
Later with the help of a graduate student of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, she coined the term grit-combination of passion and perseverance for a singularly important goal
They created a tool to measure it: the “grit scale”.
Due to her exemplary work, Dr. Duckworth was named a MacArthur “genius” in 2013, and the notion of grit has become widely known.
