Personal Notes by Vasha Farisi
No matter the domain, the highly successful had a kind of ferocious determination that played out in two ways. First, these exemplars were unusually resilient and hardworking. Second, they know in a very, very deep way what it was they wanted.
It was this combination of passion and perseverance that made high achievers special. In a word, they had grit.

Grit is about working on something you care about so much that you're willing to stay loyal to it. It's like doing what you love, but not just falling in love—staying in love.
