Grit Scale
I have been thinking a lot about the word
"Motivation"lately.Wondering if I have the"Grit"to persevere in whatever endeavors I decide to tackle each day.I have listened to podcasts on the subjectand have used my library's three different apps to either listen to audio booksor read a book online on the subject.I have found a non-scientific but fun little test you can take which compares you to others who have taken it.According to my test,I scored higher than 40% of American adults in a recent study.It is onAngela Duckworth's Websitewhere you can also find ways to purchase her book;Grit, The Power of Passion and Perseverance.Angela Duckworth is the founderand CEO of Character Lab,a nonprofit whose mission is to advance scientific insights that help children thrive.I like her already.
Try it athttps://angeladuckworth.com/grit-scale/ You just might find out something about yourself. This is,I Said It Was Non-Scientific Because I Have To Be Higher Than 40%Jim Hauenstein And, “Confidence gets you off to a fast start. Confidence gets you that first job and maybe the next two promotions. But confidence stops you from learning. Confidence becomes a caricature after a while. I can't tell you how many confident blowhards I've seen in my coaching career who never get better after the age of forty."- Bill Walsh -
That is my story and I am sticking to it!
