臺灣籍旅美老師今天交給我們的句子是：

Persistence means you keep going even when the going gets tough and you stay focused on the task without getting distracted. Resilience is toughness. When you get knocked down, you bounce back up and try again. When you have both of these qualities, we call that grit - and once you have grit, you can learn anything.
“堅持”意謂著就算數個鬧鐘輪流響著，你也會繼續賴床；你沉浸在溫暖睡意中，心無旁鶩。“適應力”代表著韌性，在被鬧鐘嚇醒時，你會快速倒回床上，并且試著再度沉睡。當你同時具備這兩種特質，我們就稱這新的結合為“毅力”。一旦你具備“毅力”，你就可以學會任何事。
