Grit
Psychologist Angela Duckworth argues that passion and perseverance for long-term goals matter more than talent alone.
Three big ideas
- Grit beats talent aloneSticking with goals over years often matters more than natural ability.
- Effort counts twiceEffort builds skill, and effort turns skill into achievement.
- Find your interestPassion usually grows from exploring and then going deeper into one area.
