Grrit Book Report

Throughout the book I found that Jax Aubrey had Determination to go and meet the girl next door, who Riley had told him to stay away from. Even with Riley telling Jax to stay away from her Jax still think about going and meeting her on "Grunsday" which is the only day in which she exists. I feel that the reason for this is because of what he's heard about her and how she is kept there and now allowed to leave and is basically a prisoner, also hearing that everyone stays away from her, meaning she doesn't interact with anyone and is pretty much alone with no one to talk to or engage

Duckworth explains people with grit are those who confront failure and don’t give up easily. She did research on the U.S Army to determine their grit. She realize, if the soldiers had a though of mind of grit they showed good results in their military performance on summer camp. Also, there was a fascinating research she had with taxi drivers relating to grit. Commonly, one would think that taxi drivers make more money in a rainy day. But what she found out was that taxi drivers work less hours in rainy days because they would make the sufficient money they needed for the day. In similarity, she compare this research to talent and grit. One with talent will spent less time on something so they stop immediately once they have proficient. In the other hand, someone with grit will spend longer time and get more out of it.

According to Angela Duckworth, grit is living life like it's a marathon, not a sprint. It means that you do not have to hurry up and do it to succeed you can go slow, and take years to achieve it.

I think grit is having confidence to do something. I think I have grit time to time, because I think it depends on the situation you are in. I took the grit survey and the results are: 2.92. I don’t know what that exactly means, because it doesn’t explain it. I assume, I have some grit, but not as high as it “should” be or as high as some other people. By going by that, I agree with the score. Grit is having courage, and I’m a shy person so I don’t always have the courage or confidence level to do something. I think it depends on what it is I am trying to do, if whether I have grit or not. Like for school; If I’m not into the assignment, I’ll procrastinate. If I’m enjoying doing something, I’ll have high grit.

Grit, what is this? Is it success, is it failure, or is it talent? As Angela Duckworth said “Grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals. Grit is having stamina.

Grit is living life like it’s a marathon, not a sprint.” Grit is a combination of strength, persistence, focus, and dedication that helps a person to maintain the optimism and discipline needed to persevere in their goals even if they are head to head with failure. Grit does not depend on talent, IQ, or success. Grit is the ability to fail and learn from your mistake, in order to come back next
