🔆Introduce the talk

     Success wasn't because of social intelligence, good looks, physical health or IQ, but because of grit. Grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals. Therefore, people who can succeed are because they have to be willing to fail, to be wrong, to start over again with lessons learned.
