It's a common saying that elephants never forget but these magnificent animals are
more than giant walking hard drives the more we learn about elephants the more it
appears that their impressive memory is only one aspect of an incredible intelligence
that makes them some of the most social creative and benevolent creatures on Earth
unlike many Proverbs the one about elephant memory is scientifically accurate
elephants know every member in their Herd able to recognize as many as 30
companions by site or smell this is a great help when migrating or encountering other
potentially hostile elephants they also remember and distinguish particular cues that
signal danger and can recall important locations long after their last visit but it's the
memories unrelated to survival better than most fascinating elephants remember not
only their companions but other creatures who have made a strong impression on
them in one case two Circus elephants that had briefly performed together rejoiced
when Crossing pads 23 years later this recognition isn't limited to others of their
species elephants have also recognized humans they bonded with after decades apart
all of this shows that elephant memory goes beyond responses to stimulus looking
inside their heads we can see the elephant boasts the largest brain of any land as well
as an impressive and supplementation this the size of the brain relative to what we'd
expect for an animals body size and the Elephant's EQ is nearly and despite the
Distant relation convergent Evolution has made it remarkably similar to the human
brain which has many neurons and synapses and he highly developed hippocampus
and cerebral cortex it is the hippocampus strongly associated with emotion that aids
recollection by encoding important experiences into long-term the ability to
distinguish this importance makes elephant memory a complex and adaptable Faculty
Beyond the road memorization it's what allows elephants who survived a drought in
their youth to recognize its warning signs and adulthood which is why Clans with
older matriarchs have higher survival rates unfortunately it's also what makes
elephants one of the few non-human the cerebral cortex on the other hand enables
problem solving which elephants display in many creative ways the also tackle
problems cooperatively sometimes even outwitting the researchers and manipulating
their partners and they've grasped basic arithmetic keeping track of the relative
amounts of fruit in two baskets after multiple changes the rare combination of
memory and problem solving can explain some of elephants most clever behaviors
but it doesn't explain some of the things we're just beginning to learn about their
mental lives elephants communicate using everything from body signals and
vocalizations to infrasound rumbles that can be hurt kilometers away and there
understanding of Syntax suggest that they have their own language and grammar this
sense of language may even go beyond simple communication elephants create art by
carefully choosing and combining different colors and elements they can also
recognize 12 distinct tones of music and recreate Melodies and yes there is an
elephant the most amazing thing about elephants is a capacity even more important
than cleverness their sense of empathy altruism are the only human returning to visit
graves they have shown concern for other species as well one working elephant
refused to set a log down into a hole where a dog was sleeping while elephants
encountering injured humans have sometimes stood guard and gently comforted them
with their truck on the other hand elephant attacks on human villages have usually
occurred right after massive poaching or callings suggesting deliberate Revenge when
we consider all this evidence along with the fact that elephants are one of the few
species who can recognize themselves in a mirror it's hard to escape the conclusion
that they are conscious intelligent and emotional beings unfortunately humanities
treatment of elephants does not reflect this as they continue to suffer from habitat
destruction and Asia ivory poaching in Africa and mistreatment and captivity
worldwide given what we now know about elephants and what they continue to teach
us about animal intelligence it is more important than ever to ensure that what the
English poet John described as Nature's great Masterpiece does not vanish from the
world's campus

When I was a 27 years old, I left a very demanding job in management consulting.
For a job that was even more demanding teaching, and went to teach seventh graders
math in the New York City public schools. And like any teacher, I made quizzes and
tests, I gave out homework assignments. When the work came back, I calculated
grades. What struck me was that IQ was not the only difference between my best and
my worst students. Some of my strongest performers did not have stratospheric IQ
scores. Some of my smartest kids weren't doing so well. And that got me thinking
what kind of things you need to learn in 7th grade math ratios decimals the area of a
parallelogram but these concepts are not impossible and I was firmly convinced that
every one of my students could learn the material if they work hard along more years
of teaching I came to the conclusion that what we need in education is a much better
understanding of students and learning from a motivational perspective from a
psychological perspective in education the one thing we know how to measure best is
IQ but what if doing well in school and in life depends on much more then their
ability to learn quickly and easily so I left the classroom and went to graduate school
to become a psychologist I started studying kids and adults in all kinds of super
challenging settings and in every study my question was who is successful here and
why my research team and I went to West Point military Academy we tried to predict
which cadets would stay in military training and which would drop out we went to the
National spelling and try to predict which advanced far this in competition we studied
rookie teachers working in really tough neighborhoods asking which teachers are still
going to be here in teaching by the end of the school year and of those who will be the
most effective and improving learning outcomes for their students we partnered with
private companies, asking which of this sales people is going to keep their jobs? who's
going to earn the most money? And all those very different context, one characteristic
emerged as a significant predictor success and it wasn't social intelligence wasn't good
it was great grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term where is sticking with
your future day in day out not just for the week not just for the month but for years
and working really hard to make that future a reality grit is living life like it's a
marathon not a sprint a few years ago I started studying great in the Chicago public
schools I asked thousands of high school juniors to take great questionnaires and then
we did around more than a year to see who would graduate turns out that grittier kids
were significantly more likely to graduate even when I matched them on every
characteristic I could measure things like family income standardized achievement
test scores even how safe kids felt when they were at school so it's not just at West
Point or the national spelling be that rip matters it's also in school especially for kids
at risk for dropping out to me the most shocking thing about Grit is how little we
know teachers asked me how do I build kids what do I do to teach kids a solid how do
I keep them motivated for the long run the honest answer is I don't know what I do
know is that talent doesn't make you pretty our data show very clearly that there are
many talented individuals who simply do not follow through on their commitments in
fact in our data Grit is usually unrelated or even inversely related to measures of
Talent so far the best idea I've heard about building grit and kids is something called
growth mindset this is an idea developed at Stanford University by Carol Dweck and
it is the least that the ability to learn is not fixed that it can change with your effort Dr
Dweck has showed that when kids read and learn about the brain and how it changes
and Rose in response to challenge they're much more likely to persevere when they
fail the cause they don't believe that failure is a permanent condition so growth
mindset is a great idea for building Grit but we need more and that's what I'm going to
end my remarks because that's where we are that's the work that stands before us we
need to take our best ideas are strongest into issues and we need to test we need to
measure whether we've been successful and we have to be willing to fail to be wrong
just start over again with less in other words we need to be gritty to makes our kids
grittier.

Understanding the cultural context and significance of references like West Point
Military Academy, the National Spelling Bee, and Chicago public schools can be
challenging for non-native speakers due to several reasons. Non-native speakers may
not be familiar with specific institutions like West Point Military Academy, which
holds cultural and historical significance in the United States as a prestigious military
institution. Without prior knowledge of these institutions, it can be challenging to
understand their roles and importance in the context of the paragraph.Institutions like
the National Spelling Bee are culturally significant events in the U.S., showcasing
academic excellence and competition among students. Non-native speakers may not
be aware of the cultural importance attached to such events, making it difficult to
fully grasp their relevance within the paragraph.References to Chicago public schools
represent a specific educational context within the United States. Each educational
system has its own practices, challenges, and cultural influences, which may not be
universally understood by non-native speakers unfamiliar with the U.S. education
system.Cultural nuances related to education, achievement, and career paths can vary
significantly across countries and regions. For example, the concept of a "spelling
bee" may not exist in the same form or carry the same cultural weight in every
country, leading to potential confusion or misinterpretation.Understanding the
significance of these references often requires background knowledge of American
culture, history, and educational norms. Non-native speakers may need additional
context or explanations to fully comprehend the implications of these references
within the paragraph.
