How Children Succeed Grit, Curiosity, and the Hidden Power of Character

There was a writer, a journalist named Paul Tuff, who started writing articles on grit.

He wrote a book before Duckworth even wrote a book on grit back in 2012 called How Children Succeed, Grit Curiosity and the Hidden Power of Character.

The other guy has a book about character.

I remember i read a study i Paul tough wrote this book i think it's called uh how children succeed um and he was talking about you know the marshmallow tests right they do the marshmallow test to predict whether children can be successful do they have the ability to uh delay gratification but he was saying that one of the problems with let's say a lower income child who has been burned by the system where people you know they've had a hard life when somebody comes in and sits in a room and says uh hey i'll give you one marshmallow now yeah but i'll come back later and give you two marshmallows if you don't eat the marshmallow yeah they're like i don't trust this motherfucker give me the marshmallow now it's not even smart it's not even prudent i mean yes they're just they're just uh aware they're they're predicting properly whether they'll they'll be treated well if they if they restrain from the restrain themselves from the marshmallow
