— Contents and key concepts
A book met after Covid-19, and a question about who lasts
The notes stay with Grit, a self-help book the writer met on social media, including Instagram, after Covid-19 had put such titles into wide circulation.
The author’s question, as they keep it, is why some people give up and some go on to the end. The author’s name is not given in this stretch.
Two formulas, and a line of Will Smith’s
They hold to two formulas: achievement equals skill times effort, and talent times effort equals skill.
They also keep a line of Will Smith’s: you either die, or you go on to the end.
Passion and perseverance, and a stop
Grit, they write, is defined as a combination of passion and perseverance. A later shop paragraph on a teaching philosophy is left unread on this page.
The notes stop at that definition. The same Korean report, at fuller length, is on CampusDown.
