Grit

If it means I have to remind myself to pet dogs with my left hand... then I do that, too.

Grit is about holding the same top-level goal for a very long time.

There are no gains without pains.

I am diligent. I never give up.

Enthusiasm is common. Endurance is rare.

Deliberate practice predicted advancing to further rounds in final competition far better than any other kind of preparation.

You’ve got to have a philosophy.

Passion is a compass.

Do not let temporary setbacks become permanent excuses.

The more unified, aligned, and coordinated our goal hierarchies, the better.
