Question

In two or three sentences, explain how you have seen the concept of grit work in your own life, and provide one example

Answer 1

• Grit is defined as the perseverance and passion for long-term goals. Grit does not require immediate positive feedback. Individuals high in grit can maintain their determination and motivation over long periods despite experiencing failure and adversity. Their passion and commitment towards the long-term goals is the predominant factor that provides the energy for going on, against challenges and setbacks.
• Developing grit in your work comes from developing habits. It’s about doing the things you know you’re supposed to do on a more consistent basis. It’s about your dedication to daily practice and your ability to stick to a schedule.
