Abstract: Angela Duckworth’s work on grit highlights the importance of persistence in achieving long-term goals. Grit is defined as a combination of passion and perseverance, which has been shown to predict success in various domains, including education, business, and personal development. Research supports the notion that endurance and long-term commitment are key to achieving significant accomplishments.
