Grit

Here is a moment of candid honesty: grit is probably one of my key personal strengths. Of course, it’s also one of my curses, but that’s a topic for another book! ???? While I may not always know how talented I am when I embark on different endeavors, what drives me is a combination of passion and perseverance.

Like many people of my generation, I was raised with the belief that success requires significant effort and sustained commitment to not giving up. Angela Duckworth emphasizes these two ingredients as essential factors in achieving long-term goals. Through extensive research and personal anecdotes, she illustrates how individuals who cultivate grit are more likely to thrive in various aspects of life, from education to career and beyond.

This is a book I often recommend, particularly to younger generations, as I believe they need it the most. It provides a roadmap for navigating obstacles, embracing setbacks as learning opportunities, and ultimately fostering personal development.
