Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance

Notes

Skill and Achievement

Talent x effort = skill Skill x effort = achievement

Four traits of Grit

1. Interest - I love what I do
2. Practice - Whatever it takes, I want to improve
3. Purpose - My work is important, both to me and to others
4. Hope - Keep going even when things are difficult, even when we have doubts

Wise Parenting is Supportive and Demanding

Enroll kids in extra curricular activities of their liking, and make sure they stick to it for more than a year. It is a way to build Grit.

Quotes

Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
