Angela Duckworth is a psychologist who proved that talent is wildly overrated and grit predicts success.

She revealed 10 daily habits that build grit that schools never teach you.

1) Adding the word "yet"

@MMcEwanGolf @bunkeredgolf Daughter of a dad who’s gone…Watching the Masters is one small way that I keep him close. I just wish we could play together again. Thank you for this lovely piece.

@Mlu__N2 I spy with my little eye the fabulous facilities at the @SportManitoba Sport for Life Centre!

@SamanthaWojArt Love your stuff and your attitude Samantha!

@WiebesWorld Yes, it’s Karly Allan who is part of the two-woman luge team for Canada. Her grandparents still live in Carman and she looks exactly like her mom.

[Kelly Funke @KellyFunke2]

@jacko_media @WiebesWorld You got it! She is the spitting image of her mom, who is from Carman.

[Kelly Funke @KellyFunke2]

Can you guess what the other Carman connection to the Milan Cortina Olympics is? Hint: She is competing in a first-time event for women at these games…

[Ken Wiebe @WiebesWorld]

The good folks of Carman, Manitoba and many others in the Pembina Valley region were familiar with Patrick Fischer long before he became an Olympian. Read about the role his time in Manitoba played in his journey to Milan in this story from colleague @mikemcintyrewpg 👇

I cried like three times before the opening ceremonies even began! This does not bode well for my emotions over the next two weeks. Thanks @CBC

[Ben Steiner @BenSteiner00]

An awesome opening to CBC's Olympic Opening Ceremony coverage, featuring Alessia Cara, Elladj Baldé and many familiar names.

Great to see calls and insights from the late Bob Cole, Colleen Jones and Rob Thompson in this as well.

Let the Games begin.

This is an excellent analysis of the writing task. The heart of good writing is within you. But AI makes sense as a partner to make you better (some ideation, help with copy editing).

[Aytekin @aytekintank]

AI can speed up a lot of things. Great writing isn’t one of them. To produce something worth reading, you still need time, space, and a human brain. https://t.co/3FgViwsNAU

It’s hereeee!!!

#ChloeZhao spoke a lot about how #WeFoundLove helped SAs, Crew & Cast keep spirits high during #Hamnet & she asked #Rihanna for the song rights to share these little moments.
Apparently, it worked!
Worth the fight!

Honoured to have been able to work with Alanis on one of her projects a long time ago. She is a force!

[APTN News @APTNNews]

Through more than 60 films made with the National Film Board of Canada, filmmaker Alanis Obomsawin has shaped the nation’s conscience.

Tonight on Face to Face, she shares a childhood memory that had the greatest impact on her artistic journey.

There is a ton of work taking place on Parliament Hill. Very interesting to see behind the construction barricades.

[Senate of Canada @SenateCA]

🔍Approximately 365,000 stones make up Centre Block’s facade and every single one is being examined closely during the building’s rehabilitation.

💡Fun fact: Nepean sandstone — sourced from a quarry that operated on the western outskirts of Ottawa — forms the bulk of the facade and gives Centre Block its rich honey colour.
