Critical Thinking
1. What’s the common feature of the people mentioned in the text
A. They all became successful immediately without any setbacks.
B. They never experienced failure and always succeeded.
C. They faced failures but showed grit and achieved success finally.
D. They gave up easily when encountering difficulties.


2. Which explains “grit” and its importance correctly
A. “Grit” means giving up quickly when facing failure, and it helps avoid more losses.
B. “Grit” is a passion for something plus the determination to work hard and persevere, and it’s important because it helps overcome setbacks to succeed.
C. “Grit” refers to ignoring failures and continuing blindly, and it ensures success every time.
D. “Grit” is about complaining about failures, and it’s important as it makes people feel better
Critical Thinking(2)
1. How do you understand Steve Jobs’ words “The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again.”
Steve Jobs once achieved great success but was then fired from the company he co - founded. After that, the “heaviness” of maintaining success (like huge responsibilities and external expectations) was gone. Instead, he felt “light” as a beginner, free from past burdens. This new state let him explore freely, regain creativity, and create more amazing things (like new Apple products). So, his words show that failure can free us from success - related pressures, helping us start anew with fresh energy.
