Predictor of Success: Grit
Passion and Perseverance toward a goal.Angela Duckworth, U Pennsylvania
Grit Scale (rate on scale 1-10)
1. New projects distract me from new ones.2. Setbacks don’t discourage me. I don’t give up easily.3. It’s not often that I set a goal but later choose to pursue a
different one.4. I am a hard worker. 5. I can maintain focus on projects that take more than a
few months to complete.6. I finish whatever I begin.7. My interests change from year to year.8. I am diligent. I never give up.9. I have been obsessed with a certain idea or project for a
long time without losing interest.10. I have overcome setbacks to conquer an important
challenge.
Effort matters more than talent.
But how do you stay gritty amidst toughest challenges?
1. Respond rather than react.• a cornerstone of emotional intelligence.
2. Reframe mistakes and failures.
Respond vs. React
It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent , but the one most responsive to change.

Every moment presents an awesome opportunity.
Failure sometimes
stresses us out.
But why?
Where does stress come from, and why does it
cause us to suffer?
Stress = Perception of Threat
Two Mechanisms: 1. Thoughts - Negativity Bias2. Emotions - Fight or Flight Response
Threat Response System
1: Negativity Bias
Three Mental Errors:
1. Overestimate threat2. Underestimate resources3. Overlook opportunities

2: Fight or Flight Reaction
