Grit

For eons, we’ve been trapped inside the myth of innate talent. Angela Duckworth shines a bright light into a truer understanding of how we achieve.

Grit teaches that life’s high peaks aren’t necessarily conquered by the naturally nimble but, rather, by those willing to endure, wait out the storm, and try again.

True success comes when we devote ourselves to endeavors that give us joy and purpose.

Grit will inspire everyone who reads it to stick to something hard that they have a passion for.

The most successful people were... dogged in their pursuits: 'Winners love to go head-to-head with other people. Winners hate losing.'

What we eventually accomplish may depend more on our passion and perseverance than on our innate talent.

Grit is not just about working hard. That’s only part of it... It’s about working on something you care about so much that you’re willing to stay loyal to it.

Grit counts twice. Effort builds skill, and at the same time, effort makes skill productive.
