Let’s say you have to sell 1k bars of chocolate for an award. That’s a lot of time & work to put in, but someone else could just buy the whole thing themself & get the same award. Both would reach our idea of “success” despite having different amounts of grit.
So success & challenges are subjective while also our drives (which fuel our grit) depend on environmental factors. Grit downplays the role of disadvantages & advantages according to whatever challenge/obstacle is to be overcome. Grit is impacted by all those other traits she said so of course it’d be the greatest common factor.
It’s like if there was an MMA fight with people of all different builds & fight styles & I concluded that every successful victor won as result of being a great fighter. WELL DUH.. but I’m sure those so many unrecorded factors, their diet, head space (which is effected by everything, like a recent death, awareness of an affair, anxiety etc) physical traits, age/health, sleep. I mean summing it up to one thing seems so negligent of everything else.

As said by Rocky Balboa ” it’s about how much you can take and keep moving forward “….the essence of being successful is just not limited to one’s achievements it lies more in the realisation of how you overcame those tough phases,how much you worked hard for it,how much you sacrificed and how you NEVER GAVE UP…..

Grit is just a rebranding of the personality aspect ‘conscientiousness’ at best, and downright deceitful at worst. It’s been known since at least 2018 that when you test for grit and control for conscientiousness, the whole construct just evaporates.

How can i get “grit”, if i do not have it become within my Development while i growing up? And what does it with me and my grown constitution, when this blessing feature, if i became it suddenly, messes up my stability?
It is easy to select from a given number of people those who have desirable qualities…in the dynamics of the situation be able to raise. But how can you avoid the easy and effortless selection process? Picking the good from the bad is a parasitic strategy because it lets fates and other people’s performance do all the work and then profits from the success of some. That one otherwise likes to undermine evolution is not visible here.
It may turn out that authoritarian conditions are the worst obstacles to the development of optimistic and motivated characters, so that in a given set of people you will not find anyone who has ever given up or who has never declared that they will not even begin to try to square the circle!
And the problem is that for the fault/lack of parents, their children have to suffer. But it is also true that the alternative (orphaning the child into a surrogate parent) does not solve the problem, because any alternative is not a sufficient substitute for real parental care. But if the parents have already been orphaned, the children naturally have to start all over again, and this is easily frustrated if the demands are set high because other people are already much further along in this development because they had it easier under the conditions.
Orphaning” is meant here in the setting in that it is not the parents who become the main educator and supporter, but systemically generated educational structures that lack the necessary emotional relationship between role model and child.
No emotional foundation, then no cognitive progress or sufficient motivation can be expected. For what, then?
And the question is, of course, why anyone is still talking about the fact that we live in the freest time and world, when people still lose all motivation, despite the imperative, because the environment repeatedly and deliberately misinterprets the “free-thinking imperatives”. Apart from the fact that in all freedom one still has duties to maintain one’s own existence. In other words, practically egoistic duties, such as the fulfilment of needs.

re: audit of Maricopa’s vote , my speculation is [ prior to voteing, a group of republicans, feared their votes would be singled out and thown away, in large boxes where statiticians had pre determined, the results would b biased [ for the entire poll or vote in specific areas ] known to be biased toward republicans, where in fact if a single box of thousands of votes, most of them voting republican, could of been removed, and thus never counted, so my theory is a huge group of repblicans used invisible ink [ stamps ] the stamped their ballots with [ which contained an incremental number ], and these invisible ink will appear clerarly photographicable, within the correct specturn of light, black or ultra-violet is in fact such a specturm, so if this is correct, then the audit is looking for the votes with those special invisible ink [ like a water mark ] n in fact if these water marks r individually numbered n many thousands of those votes,
photgraphed as the [ individual ] voters, applied their numbered invisible water marks to their paper ballots;
if those votes are FOUND TO B *MISSING* ( from the votes ) [ being examined ] with a special color spectrum light tool, which is NOT counting the votes, it’s taking a photograph of each vote? idunno but that’s both *MY SPECULATION* n some of the details i have viewed on videos, where the news media, has interviewed ppl who claim not to have any idea why these VOTE AUDITORS r in fact shining some special light tool, on every vote, then thas as far as i’ve been ablle to speculate on the possible reality of [ the past n the present ] *BUT* i have speculated bout the FUTURE, if alot of votes R missing, it will be sufficient cause, to claim every politician, in every political job, got there via vote FRAUD, without having to prove anything ( outside ) of the very FIRST TIME these people, get caught JUST ONCE, [ *ANYWHERE* ] ,
the first step, would prolly b skipped, that would b fire’ing all politicians, [ *EVERYWHERE* ] n replacing them with qualifed ( skilled ) people hired from classified advertising, meaning there wud never again b *ANY* elections or politicians *EVER AGAIN* but the 2nd step [ which is in fact the bttr choice ] is to *COMPLETELY DISOLVE* this bankrupt ponzi scheme ( sociial security ) *ALONE* in fact already *PROVES* that much is already known
plus everyone already knows, *MONOPOLIES* r HARMFUL this has already been proven many times n our Laws already recognize this fact; plus everyone already knows, our united states [ government ] is in fact a monopoly, and we don’t have not even a single other choice to choose from; And our government has in fact already become a business which provides products n services , same as any [ private busniness ] which could in fact *IMMEDIATELY* replace our entire government [ with millions ] of private businesses, all competing for our loyalty [ as new prospective ] *CONSUMERS* [ these big n small ] thriving profitable, many new businesses would love to have our business; They would be grateful n treat us consumers [ of their products n services ] with respect, by providing
1) timely services;
2) bttr quality services;
3) lower prices;
there isn’t anything a private business can’t do bttr than govt; If vote fraud is not found, but [ *individual* [ employees such as Joe Biden ] become *AWARE* of this fact that private industry can save taxpayers money, n service our needs as [ *CONSUMERS* ] bttr than government, and they *FAIL* to switch [ *every dept.* ] to all private [ service providers ] *immediately* they will be under citizens arrest for treason, and i will in fact settle this once and for all, properly, inside a real court, where all the old less than optimal ( one by one ) old nonsense will be challenged [ and none of it’s defendable ] [ it only exists ] [ because government is an unlawful monopoly ]; As [ consumers ] of products n services [ it is treason ] we only have once choice we don’t have any competing [ private service providers ] who would love to treat us to bttr [ products n services ]; They could create [ without this ongoing crime ] of crazy insane spending on useless [ products n services ] [ and the high cost of government expenses ] which bankrupted our united states [ government ];

As a teacher I hate how we continue to communicate to children that “success” equals “wealth”. You can live a successful life in an average paying job and feel like a complete failure with 1 billion in your bankaccount. Of course it’s important to have enough money to life comfortable, but most people strive to own much more.

May 6, 2021 at 6:44 pm
@Lewis Stoen that is true, but I wasnt meaning to be exclusive to just skateboarding. But comparative to say other sports which are point orientated, with the only result win or lose being determined by sometimes not even your own accord. Skateboarders generally in order to take the initial risk, learn to have to push past their comfort zone and then repeat physical and mental pain until their goal is met (trick landed) then repeated until perfection or close to it. Which only things like bmx, rock climbing, skiiing etc that could be considered athletic pursuits comparitive to that same goal orientation, which I find fascinating knowing skateboarding is the fastest growing sport currently, and nobody scientifically studies anything about skateboarding which could lead to some unique insight is basically my point haha
JMKnack
May 4, 2021 at 4:53 pm
This is true, allthough grit is nothing more than a variation of the advice of “Don’t quit whatever obstacles you may face, whatever struggles in the way.” In order to see a goal through you have to stay the course no matter how many times you fall and even stop midway, keep reminding yourself of the reasons to move forward especially what is on the other side if you stop which is mostly regret, more suffering and ultimate failure itself which resides in our minds forever of the what ifs questions.

@Matt C there are also proper research articles that show that poverty and the associated stress lowers IQ, and when the poverty is removed, the IQ goes up… where is grit in this equation ?

@Miles Dugmore I associate “want” with grit… because if you want it the most… there is no way your giving up..

@Matt C there is a tonne of research, certainly in the UK, I don’t know about the US. If all things were equal, then the ones who want it the most with be the winners – except all things are not equal, and the biggest predictor of success is the family you are born into – and I cannot see how anyone can argue against this. Apart from proper research, there have been many documentaries about how the best jobs are reserved for certain groups. I remember one example, where this girl was the first girl in her family to get to university and I think she got an honors degree. That would have taken true grit. But now many companies, I think this one was Merrel Lynch only indenture new people. So she could not afford to live in London for 2 years on next to nothing. The girl who got the position just happened to have parents who had a “flat” in London, the sort of place they would use when they were “in” London. So you want to tell me the girl who was the first one to go to university in her family has less grit than the one who came from the privileged family ?

@Matt C many of us “want” and by definition will expend true “grit”, but those who are born into the right families can have “want” without the true “grit” and get the position in preference to even those who expend “true grit”.. So my point is and you can see it anywhere you want to look, that the biggest predictor of success is to be born into the right family… but despite all the research, many people don’t like this and do all they can to deny the obvious…

cut the BS.. the best predictor of success is to be born into the right family.. but that is so non PC that this presenter would refuse to discuss it.. what a load of BS.. if she is talking about “grit’, then this idiot needs to ask where “grit” comes from… Jesus, this is all shallow BS.. so someone in Lagos with no parents will succeed if they have “grit”.. I would say someone born into a wealthy functional family who is sent to good schools and has a good upbringing will not need any grit but is very highly likely to succeed… especially if they can take over daddy’s business.. and the biggest sickness of this message, is the underlying message, that if you don’t succeed then it is your responsibility.. this degenerates into cheap propaganda..

That’s a shortsighted assertion.
If you really want to know who’s going to be successful in life, watching him(or her) 1 year later is too short.
Life is a long distance race. You can’t prove anything watching him only 1 year.
Besides, real life is not that simple. I’ve known many people who’s gentle, flexible, not gritty but very successful.
Sometimes people and society have tendency to avoid gritty people. Sometimes people and society would prefer gentle, cooperative people than gritty ones.
I’m not saying that gentle people are always successful than gritty people.
I’m saying that life and society are complicated. There’s no one character which will bring you success always.
Sometimes gritty people wins, but sometimes gentle, cooperative and reserved people may win.
Parents shouldn’t try to change children’s natural characters to make them successful.
Cherish their own characters. It may brings them real success in life in a long distance.

So Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg should have scored low on those Grit Questionnaires on school, no? In my shallow opinion, the ‘grit’ thing seems kinda reverse. Meaning, it’s just seeing from surveys who’s got more willing and motivation to finish a certain project; long or short, simple or complicated, and of course when those people turn out to complete or success in the project more than other groups or cohorts from the survey, they just name the willingness and motivation ‘grit’. Could this be useful that much? Like, providing a better way to finish a certain goal when people already know they need motivation and will to get themselves into something and are already trying many ways to get them and struggling at the same time?

For myself, I want to build perseverance. I have been studying brain development for some time, and it doesn’t seem to help with grit. I don’t find this presentation honest or effective.

I hear a lot of people today say that they don’t want kids to fail EVER. That is the reason why many school districts have removed F’s from report cards.
But I’ve learned far more from my failures than my successes. To try and then fail is a very important part of growing and learning.

When I was in school, I used to pity the people who would work hard everyday, while I aced in every test without studying much, but then Later on, after a few years, I saw my mistake. I realized the people who were gritting everyday, did much better than me in the later years, when I was lacking in the will ti persevere, they were already masters and soon passed me by a long run.

Jeff Bezos said the same thing.

Now, he’s only proud of what he must work hard for.

This is a circular definition. Why do some people have grit and not others? How does one develop grit? A person first needs to believe they are capable of doing whatever they set out to do. They have to have confidence. I don’t mean the mindless you can do anything you want to do without even putting in the work, without even trying, without the mental or physical capacity to gain the skills needed. If you don’t believe you can be successful at something, if you don’t believe you are worthy of attaining something, you won’t try hard enough to be sucessful and you will give up at the first sign of failure.

I struggled all the way through school and uni, studying engineering, as I always told I wasn’t cut out for such a math-heavy subject…got a 2:1. Then no job after graduation. 2.5 post graduation, I retaught myself calculus, learned to program and began my own research in distribution networks and battery modelling. Literally yesterday, I got a job offer for a grad scheme. Intelligence and talent only pays dividends if you put in the effort: keep plucking away; continue questioning; take failure in your stride and uphold the belief that things will eventually go your way. It’s not easy, but I’m proud to be the one that had to work than someone who didn’t.

But what do you mean by success?
1. Is it your ability to survive in this world
2. Is it your ability to survive and thrive
3. Is it about achieving goals you have set for yourself
4. Is it about achieving goals society thinks are worthy to achieve
5. Is it about achieving self realization and attaining enlightenment.
6. Is it about realizing all of this effort you put was pointless and you should have focused on living, not worrying.

Your username is terrible. But agreed, and to that I would add that energy is tied to grit. People who are naturally more energetic will stick with things longer because they simply have the ability to do so. A lot of people fail because they’re eating things that take away energy like bread, tortillas, and rice and they’re bodies can’t handle it. So when they start studying and then fall asleep. Growth mindset won’t help with that. A lot of problems require physical solutions, not just another form of positive thinking.

She fails to mention that it takes energy to have grit, it’s not just having a growth mindset. The body is like an electronic appliance, it won’t work right if it’s not plugged in properly. The body needs energy to keep going and this is often why people give up, because they run out.
That means that you guys need to take care of your health, figure out what diet is good for you, figure out your body weight, sleep right, etc. Otherwise growth mindset won’t help much.

In a corrupt, predatory economic system (like what the USA celebrates as the norm, for example) the strongest predictor is being a sociopath & willing to cheat/exploit/lie at any ripe opportunity. Those are the types of people who most often rise to the top of business & politics (they & their select puppets).

Sadly a lot of this has fallen apart under further research. “Grit” is not measurably different to the trait “conscientiousness” that has been know for decades. It is actually less predictive of life attainment than IQ – or ability to learn, but is still very important.

I have nothing against grit. Grit is going to get you through army boot camp. It’s going to get you that sale when you need one ‘yes’ out of 100s of cold calls. It will indeed get you a long way in most jobs and pursuits. But for those times in life where you get one shot, to hire the right person, making the right call during negotiation with a key client, or formulating that word in a spelling bee, my experience says high IQ matters more. So if grit is what you have, choose your career appropriately.

I agree that “grit” is fundmental but it is built on a foundation of delayed gratification – the ability to sacrifice a bit of “now” for future. Being able to delay gratification is one of the keys to long-term success.
