Diligence
This month we're focusing on self-mastery, urging all our students to push themselves beyond what is “comfortable” to what is within their grasp if they stretch.
We spotlight virtues that the ancient Greeks associated with temperance, and early Americans associated with industry: diligence, self-control, patience, and perseverance in the face of adversity. More recently, contemporary psychologists, led by Angela Duckworth, have flagged the importance of "grit" for human flourishing, the much needed combination of passion and perseverance.
