There is no doubt there are those amongst us who get handed things on a silver platter. But for the “real” folks, it is hard work and strong will that helps us get to the ultimate goal. We need to be motivated enough to work towards our goals.
Tenacity offers you perspective to visualise how short term difficulties will help you achieve higher goals. Along with IQ and EQ which remain valid, we see the emergence of TQ or Tenacity Quotient. The great leaders over the years who showed tenacity will be remembered not merely for being tenacious, but for being tenacious for something.
Louis Pasteur quotes tenacity as the secret which led to him achieving his goals in life. His persistence and resilience led him to attain both academic success and the great inventions for which he is well known.
When talking to students about academic tenacity, it is all about the mindsets and skills that allow students to look beyond short-term concerns to longer-term or higher-order goals. It is about learning to overcome challenges and approach learning with resilience, persistence, perseverance, grit and self-regulation.
