ANGELA DUCKWORTH -- RESEARCH ON GRIT AND PERSEVERANCE (2007)

Quote on defining grit...

“We define grit as perseverance and passion for long-term goals. Grit entails working strenuously toward challenges, maintaining effort and interest over years despite failure, adversity, and plateaus in progress. The gritty individual approaches achievement as a marathon; his advantage is stamina. Whereas disappointment or boredom signals to others that it is time to change trajectory and cut losses, the gritty individual stays the course…’ (Duckworth, et. al., 2007, p. 4)
