Chapter 4: How can we practice kindly to improve our skills?
Cannot wait.
Dr Duckworth has found the most common characteristic amongst elite performers, high achievers, very successful people, is this characteristic of grit.
Grit.
Chapter 5: Why is hope considered an essential component of grit?
Grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals. This is actually not about natural ability. This is about how we grow. So we have to uncover our interests in order to become gritty at something.
As soon as I pursued public speaking as a career, I felt like in Star Wars when the Millennium Falcon goes into light speed, I just felt myself taking off. Just because I was being so gritty at something I was so interested in.
Talent is in some ways useless if we're not putting in the hard work.
Chapter 6: What are the differences between good and bad criticism?
Sometimes it's very hard to maintain grit because the critical voice jumps in really quickly saying you're not good enough at this. And I like, I just don't think I've got that in me to face that amount of negativity for six months.
I guess this kind of great question we have is like, can I have this voice? Am I willing to have the pain and still head in the direction that's deeply meaningful to me?
It's like in childbirth where it goes from the worst pain. Yeah. I mean, why am I telling you this? Let me tell you what I am.
Hardest thing I've ever done. Quick, is anyone here a doctor? Yes, her name is Dr. Emily and she's a psychologist.
