Angela Duckworth (grit)

Angela Duckworth's concept of grit refers to persistent passion and sustained effort toward long-term goals, despite challenges and setbacks. It combines resilience and perseverance, emphasizing that talent alone isn’t enough for success; consistent hard work over time is crucial. People with grit tend to stay committed to their objectives, adapt when necessary, and continue striving even when progress is slow. Duckworth’s research suggests that cultivating grit can be more important than innate ability in achieving personal and professional achievements, highlighting the value of perseverance and sustained dedication in reaching meaningful goals.
