Jerry Large

Jerry Large seems to have done a lot of research about how to basically "grow successful children".  After all this research he came to the conclusion that the children that had more affection shown to them in their first few years of life have a lot more success later on.  He also named a few basic characteristics that make a good person such as self control, social intelligence, zest and most importantly, grit.  Large believes that a "big part of building character is overcoming failure", and do do this you need grit.  Of coarse too much of anything can be bad, but everything in moderation is alright, and if we accuire this at a young age we are more likely to be more successful adults.
