Angela Lee Duckworth Grit: the power of passion and perseverance Three words you learned from the talk demanding (adj.) ➡ The work is physically demanding. stratospheric (adj.) ➡ The project had proved a stratospheric success. grit (n.) ➡ It takes true (= real) grit to stand up to a bully. My comments on the talk I think grit can be a key factor in a person's success. Just as the film says IQ is not necessarily a good person, but if you have a grit and are determined, then your chances of success will be significantly higher. However, it is not a grit that can succeed. The key is to do something firmly, so that the chance of success is greater.

My Favorite Season My favorite season is spring, because in spring the weather is not cold and not hot. And a lot of flowers wake up in this season, they can bloom out of their beauty . When I walk on the road can feel everything  is full of energy , people take off heavy and dark clothes and put on cooler and bright clothes. Especially in February and March  is the flowering period of cherry blossoms in Taiwan, many places can watch cherry blossoms. And eat shaved ice and snow ice are very cool thing, because have a special feeling. That kind of feeling is something I can't feel eating in the summer. So spring is my favorite season.
