Angela Lee Duckworth: Grit: The power of passion and perseverance
Grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals. Grit is having stamina. Grit is sticking with your future, day in, day out, not just for the week, not just for the month, but for years, and working really hard to make that future a reality. Grit is living life like it's a marathon, not a sprint.

ReplyDeleteGrit is related to growth mindset, which is the ability to keep your mind flexible. You have to continue on, and go through with any long-term goals. An example might be in school with every kid. They all try to reach their goal, whether it's about sports, school grades, or even social status. Most of them have "grit" and can achieve their goals, but some can't. For example, I try to raise my social status to make me seem more friendlier everyday, and I can achieve this goal easily. I also try to read more and more, but this goal I have trouble achieving. As you can see, if you have grit and the passion, then you can easily accomplish something, but when you don't, it would be difficult to achieve anything.
