(12 Marks)
(1) Have you ever failed at something so miserably that the thought of attempting to do it again was
the last thing you wanted to do?
(2) If your answer is yes, then you are “not a robot.” Unlike robots, we human beings have feelings,
emotions, and dreams. We are all meant to grow and stretch despite our circumstances and our limita-
tions. Flourishing and trying to make our dreams come true is great when life is going our way. But
what happens when it's not? What happens when you fail despite all of your hard work? Do you stay
down and accept the defeat or do you get up again and again until you are satisfied? If you have a
tendency to persevere and keep going then you have what experts call, grit.
(3) Falling down or failing is one of the most agonizing, embarrassing, and scariest human experi-
ences. But it is also one of the most educational, empowering, and essential parts of living a suc-
cessful and fulfilling life. Did you know that preservance (grit) is one of the seven qualities that
have been described as the keys to personal success and betterment in society? The other six are:
curiosity, gratitude, optimism, self-control, social intelligence, and zest. Thomas Edison is a model
for grit for trying 1,000 plus times to invent the light bulb. If you are reading this with the lights on
in your room, you know well he succeeded. When asked why he kept going despite his hundreds
of failures, he merely stated that what he had been through were not failures. They were hundreds
of ways not to create a light bulb. This statement not only revealed his grit but also his optimism
for looking at the bright side​
