TED演讲:成功的钥匙?毅力(4)
So far, the best idea I’ve heard about building grit in kids is something called “growth mindset.”
到目前为止，我所听说过的在孩子身上培养坚韧品质最有效的方法叫“成长型思维模式。”
This is an idea developed at Stanford University by Carol Dweck,
斯坦福大学卡洛杜威克提出过一个观点，
and it is the belief that the ability to learn is not fixed, that it can change with your effort.
他相信人的学习能力是可变的，它随着你的努力程度而变化。
Dr. Dweck has shown that when kids read and learn about the brain and how it changes and grows in response to challenge,
杜威克教授表示，当孩子们阅读和学习有关大脑的知识以及它在面对挑战时所发生的变化和成长情况，
they’re much more likely to persevere when they fail, because they don’t believe that failure is a permanent condition.
他们失败之后更容易坚持下去，因为他们不相信会一直失败下去。
So growth mindset is a great idea for building grit. But we need more.
因此，成长性思维模式对培养毅力大有裨益。但是我们需要更多。
And that’s where I’m going to end my remarks, because that’s where we are.
我决定在此结束我的评论，因为我们正在经历着这一切。
That’s the work that stands before us.
这是眼前所面临的工作。
We need to take our best ideas, our strongest intuitions, and we need to test them.
我们要拿出最好的想法和最强的直觉，我们要对他们进行实践。
We need to measure whether we’ve been successful,
我们需要估量这一切是否成功，
and we have to be willing to fail, to be wrong, to start over again with lessons learned.
同时还要渴望对失败和错误，要从这些失败中汲取经验重新再来。
In other words, we need to be gritty about getting our kids grittier. Thank you.
换句话说，我们只有自己变得更有毅力才能让我们的孩子变得更有毅力。谢谢大家！
