As we approach Halloween, I thought the topic of grit might be appropriate, and how we can gain a little more resilience, tenacity, and initiative in our lives. I discuss big ideas like learning grit, rejection and failure help us succeed, minding the gap between effort and success, developing a growth mindset (becoming more like bamboo), and helping others helps us stay gritty. If you liked this Zoo-notable, you can check out the book for yourself. Want to see how powerful grit can be? Check out Chris Beaven's website for his DAILY art (over 10 years without a missed day!).
