Grit is the stubborn refusal to quit. — Jonah Lehrer

“Gritty people have a growth mindset; when bad things happen, they don’t give up.” - Angela Duckworth

In brief, grit is “perseverance and passion for long-term goals.”

The psychological definition of grit contains two ingredients:

1. The ability to stick to long-term goals.

2. The ability to keep going despite adversity.

Angela Duckworth is a professor of psychology and pioneer in grit research.

In study after study, she has found that “where talent counts once, effort counts twice.” (4)

She explains that finding with this formula:

TALENT x EFFORT = SKILL

SKILL x EFFORT = ACHIEVEMENT

When we apply effort to a talent, we get a skill. And when we apply effort to a skill, we get the achievement.
