Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance Is Genius

Angela Duckworth is a MacArthur “genius” and she turned her genius to the simple question; “why do some people succeed when others fail?”

Grit is the outcome of that research. 

She found that there was a single unifying trait that ensured success and it sure wasn’t talent.

In dissecting what it is that brings success, she determined that not only was grit a better measure than talent, but that anyone could learn grit too.
