    • Not just being passionate but sustaining that passion for a long time

    DO YOU HAVE GRIT?

    • Concentrate on things you don’t know, identify your weaknesses and work on
    that

    • Being in a very uncomfortable place, where some part of your day you’re
    working extremely hard and then to get up and do it all over again

    • Never give up and never run away when things get tough
    “ GRIT IS PASSION AND PERSEVERANCE
    FOR LONG-TERM AND MEANINGFUL
    GOALS.
