In this instant New York Times bestseller, and TED talk, pioneering psychologist Angela Duckworth shows anyone striving to succeed—be it parents, students, educators, athletes, or business people—that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent but a special blend of passion and persistence she calls “grit.”
Why do some people succeed and others fail? Sharing new insights from her landmark research, Angela explains why talent is hardly a guarantor of success.
Angela has found that grit—a combination of passion and perseverance for a singularly important goal—is the hallmark of high achievers in every domain. She’s also found scientific evidence that grit can grow.
Winningly personal, insightful, and even life-changing, Grit is all about what goes through your head when you fall down, and how that—not talent or luck—makes all the difference.
Just an interesting fact, I recently bought a few tons of grit.....now don't laugh, I'm not trying to take away from the post or the TED talk.
In fact the grit was bought for the reason of taking very soft sand, and making into a harder, more sure surface, on which cars can drive and not get bogged down in the soft beach sand.
I think this fits nicely into the idea that we need grit to succeed in this world....
A great talk. Right up there with Sir Ken Robinson.
I don't think I have Grit?, just stubborn , achieves more or less the same outcome, hopefully.
