Grit
Grit is passion and
perseverance for long-term
goals. One way to think
about grit is to consider
what grit isn’t. Grit isn’t
talent. Grit isn’t luck. Grit
isn’t how intensely, for the
moment, you want
something.
Instead, grit is about
having what some
researchers call an”
ultimate concern”–a goal
you care about so much
that it organizes and gives
meaning to almost
everything you do. And
grit is holding steadfast to
that goal. Even when you
fall down. Even when you
screw up. Even when
progress toward that goal
is halting or slow.
Talent and luck matter to
success. But talent and
luck are no guarantee of
grit. And in the very long
run, I think grit may matter
as least as much, if not
more.
- Angela Duckworth
