Happy learning!Criticism:There are many criticisms on Angela Duckworth's work. One of the main criticism is her use of the term "grit".Duckworth defines grit as "passion and perseverance for very long-term goals". She believes that this is what distinguishes successful people from unsuccessful people. Critics argue that her definition of grit is too broad and does not provide a clear understanding of what it means to have grit.Critics also argue that it is not fair to compare the success of students with different backgrounds. For example, students who attended good schools or come from wealthy families might be more successful than those who don't attend good schools or come from poor families.

He is one of only a few people in the world to hold the title of International Grandmaster of Memory. Additionally, Kevin is a World Memory Championship medalist. Finally, he is a two-time world record holder for The Everest memory test. Not to mention, he can recall the number Pi to over 10,000 decimal places.“If you keep on doing what you have always done, you are going to get what you have always gotten. You need to do different to get different. Thus, a word of warning: mastering your memory is going to require a different kind of thinking.” - Kevin HorsleyStoryShot #1: The Benefits of Having an Excellent MemoryA great memory gives you a distinct advantage by helping you: Store and access more information quickly. Create mental associations. Build upon existing knowledge. Grasp opportunities. Increase your overall intelligence. StoryShot #2: How to Improve Your Concentration“We are training our brains to have an attention deficit. A lot of people simply cannot focus for an extended period of time anymore. I have heard that the average person looks at their mobile phone about 50 times a day. We are reading emails, the news, Facebook, and Twitter, etc., during what should be family and relationship time.” - Kevin HorsleyKevin Horsley identifies concentration as fundamental to remembering anything. Without concentration, all other memory tips are pointless. Hence, he describes two ways to increase your concentration levels: Rid yourself from conflict: Conflict can distract you from the task you want to engage in. Examples of distractions are social media websites, games, or messages. However, it is not just distractions that impact your concentration. Multitasking itself hugely impacts your ability to concentrate. Kevin highlights that neuroscience research has found that multitasking slows efficiency by 50%. Give yourself a purpose: If you have a purpose, your mind is less likely to wander. Kevin suggests that you adhere to the "PIC rule.” P stands for purpose. Purpose gives you a reason for learning. I stands for interested. Ask yourself questions so you can become interested. And finally C stands for Curious. Be curious about what you’ve chosen to learn. “You can remember mountains of information when you are interested in the subject. It almost feels automatic and your concentration is at a peak. Your deficits of attention are mostly interest deficits. Your mind never wanders away; it only moves towards more interesting and outstanding things.” - Kevin Horsley Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
