Introduce the talk :

    Grit is passion and perseverance in our future, living life like a marathon, not a sprint. Carol Dweck developed the idea called "growth mindset", it shows  that the ability to learn is not fixed, that it can change with your effort.  They're much more likely to persevere when they fail, because they don't believe that failure is a permanent condition.
