Food for thought for the new school year...

If you're starting a new school year, or any new activity, you're probably going to be facing some new challenges. How can you successfully attain new skills or improve in school, in sports, or in extracurriculars? Angela Duckworth has some ideas about what's going to help you succeed:

"We need to take our best idea, our strongest intuitions, and we need to test them. We need to measure whether we've been successful, and we have to be willing to fail, to be wrong, to start over again with lessons learned."
