Scientists find that perseverance (坚持不懈) leads to better grades and higher achievements in school.“Being passionate (热情的) is not enough to ensure academic success,” says researchers, who thought of “courage

This is also regarded as effort in reaching long-term goals, and determination to continue ones efforts in spite of hardships.Researchers think that the finding could help create new training to help children develop the skill and help ensure their future success.Researchers f

They were followed through their academic career from 12 to 16, the sixth grade until the ninth grade in local school years. Researchers found that the factor that best predicts courage was related to goals, with previous aca
