How do Duckworth's experiences contribute to the reflections she makes in her speech?

Find explanation below.

Explanation:

Angela Duckworth is a renowned Psychologist known especially for her work on Grit. 'Grit', according to Duckworth is the burning passion for a goal as well as the persistent effort channeled towards that goal whether there is a reward or not. In a speech she made, she narrated the experience she had while growing up with her father. Her father criticized her continually and that made her to develop the 'I will show you' mentality. She explained that because she was not used to so much praises while growing up, she was able to accommodate failure more easily. Her small wins eventually gave her confidence to set higher goals.

Duckworth believes that managers should be specific when offering criticisms and praises. She also believes in the pursuit of success and setting new goals.
