Inside the mind of a master procrastinator

3 keywords I learn from the talk:

1. procrastinate 拖延
to delay doing something that you ought to do, usually because you do not want to do it

2. propagate 繁衍
( of a plant or animal) to produce young plants or animals

3. dormant 休眠的
Something that is dormant is not active or growing but has the ability to be active at a later time

Summary:

Although we always procrastinate things that we need to do. But I still think that we should do the things right away. We should get rid of this bad habit. Don't be controlled by instant gratification money anymore. We need to do the right things in the right time.

3. perseverance 不屈不撓，堅持不懈

4. growth mindset 成長思維

When students believe they can get smarter, they understand that effort makes them stronger. Therefore they put in extra time and effort, and that leads to higher achievement.

5. predict 預測

This talk is talking about the grit. They find that success people have the characteristic, grit. The important thing isn't IQ or social intelligence.
