GRIT

What determines success?

  • Not social intelligence
  • Not good looks
  • Not physical health
  • Not IQ

It's Grit - passion & perseverance for very long term goals; having stamina, sticking with your future, day in day out...not just for the week, not just for the month, but for years & working really hard to make that future a reality...living life like it’s a marathon not a sprint.

Grit is unrelated or inversely related to talent

Building Grit in kids - Growth Mindset - the belief that the ability to learn is not fixed.., it can change with your effort...don't believe failure is a permanent condition...
