Angela Lee Duckworth has a Ted Ed. called The Power Of Power And Perseverance In the video she says that Grit is having passion and perseverance for long term goals having stamina and sticking with your goal not for days,weeks,months but for Years. Grit is living life like a marathon working hard to make your want become reality and not like a sprint where not working whatsoever. Me personally am not trying because I get distracted by others so I need to be grittier and try harder to be what I want to be. She believes that Grit is more successful than IQ.I agree because IQ is just a dumb number that doesn’t even matter kind of like the PSSA’s so that number the people think that they won’t do much in life. Will Smith has a video called Who Do You Want To Be? He was not the only person there were others like someone their mom wanted them to become a truck driver because of the money. That’s not what he wanted to be he wanted to be someone else but they do it because they don’t want to upsets their mom or dad or their family members. Don’t let others change you in a bad way it is never a wrong time to change to good, Don’t be what your parents want you to be. I learned from these two videos that be what you want to be and become gritty about that do hard work and try to become successful about it.Be what you want to be, Thank you
