Dispelling the Illusion of Growth | Laila Akram | TEDxHitchin Youth

Growth is not confined to academic success or intelligence, it extends beyond the classroom.
Growth can occur in both positive and challenging times, if we persevere.
Failure is not a block, but a reminder that you are growing.
The key quality that determines success is grit, the act of persevering.
Challenging situations only create failure if we perceive them as our permanent condition.
Anxiety can be used as a tool for growth, rather than a hindrance.
Growth is an everyday process and can happen at any time.
Your perception becomes your reality. If you perceive everything as an opportunity to grow, you will widen your pathway in life.
