“Three bricklayers are asked: “What are you doing?” The first says, “I am laying bricks.” The second says, “I am building a church.” And the third says, “I am building the house of God.” The first bricklayer has a job. “Have a fierce resolve in everything you do.” “Demonstrate determination, resiliency, and tenacity.” “Do not let temporary setbacks become permanent excuses.” And, finally, “Use mistakes and problems as opportunities to get better – not reasons to quit.” ~ (Angela Duckworth).ġ0. “At its core, the idea of purpose is the idea that what we do matters to people other than ourselves.” ~ (Angela Duckworth).ĩ. “Consistency of effort over the long run is everything.” ~ (Angela Duckworth).Ĩ.

Practice: those with grit indulge in deliberate practice – they set themselves specific goals and focus on the nasty stuff they find difficult.Interest: you have to find something you actually like, or think you might.Grit is what goes through your head when you fall, down, and it’s what makes all the difference – not talent or luck. Patience and resilience are the secrets of success.People with grit start with interest, practice hard, ally it to a common purpose, and retain hope at all times.
