Grit: Perseverance and passion for long-term goals.
“Achievement is the product of talent and effort, the latter a function of the intensity, direction, and duration of one’s exertions toward a goal. Whereas the amount of energy one invests in a particular task at a given moment in time is readily apparent both to oneself and to others, the consistency of one’s long-term goals and the stamina with which one pursues those goals over years may be less obvious.” Angela Duckworth 2005
As a parent or coach or teacher, can we scaffold or evoke grit in our children?
This is my PASSION!
