Why am I doing this? I'm Angela Duckworth. I'm Steven Dubner. And you're listening to the listening to No Stupid Questions. Today on the show, how do you know when it's time to quit?
I love to gamble. I've lost $100,000 the last week. Also, why is it so hard to predict success? I'm sorry to say this, but your little boy is doomed. He ate the marshmallow and he's gonna be an idiot.
Angela Duckworth, my question today could be summarized as grit versus quit. Grit. What's that? That's the answer. All right, never mind then.
