I hope you all get something amazing out of this Freakonomics Podcast. It’s about Grit, and what we love.
Things that I’ve taken away from this podcast:
Things that you have an intrinsic interest in present the best opportunity for things that you have grit about.
Gritty people find out how to find and build their own practice schedule.
Angela Lee Duckworth is an author that wrote a book about Grit called: “The Power of Passion and Perseverance
Deliberate practice is vital if you want to get really good at anything. More important that genetics. Talent is vastly overrated. The right kind and volume of practice is essential.
Angela Lee Duckworth defines Grit as: GRIT: Passion and perseverance towards especially long term goals.
Someone that doesn’t have a lot of grit, can earn some.
Genius: Greatness that is earned.
Big idea: Find growth in the nuances rather than the novelties.
