Characteristics of Paragons of Grit. There are four characteristics of paragons of grit.

Interest: Passion begins with intrinsically enjoying what you do.

The capacity to practice: One form of perseverance is the daily discipline of trying to do things

Devoting yourself completely in a focused and full-hearted practice is what leads to

Purpose: What ripens passion is the conviction that your work matters.

This is critically important as interest without purpose is nearly impossible to sustain for

You must both enjoy your work and believe that it is connected to the well-being of

Hope is a rising-to-the-occasion kind of perseverance.

Hope actually defines every stage, and is what keeps you going when things are difficulty.

You usually start out with a self-oriented interest, then learn self-discipline practice,

and finally find purpose as your work becomes other-centered.

We have evolved to seek meaning and purpose because we are social creatures.

People who cooperate are more likely to survive than loners, so it was evolutionarily selected

Society depends on stable interpersonal relationships, and so the desire to connect is a basic human

On average, grittier people are more motivated than others to seek a meaningful, other-centered

These four characteristics are not a matter of having it or not.

As I've gone over in other videos, you can acquire the habit of discipline.

You can cultivate a sense of purpose and meaning.

If you have not already, check out my video on how to love the process.

Angela Duckworth offers similar advice, although different in a few subtle ways.

She points out that people whose jobs match their personal interests are, in general,

People are also perform better when what they do interests them.

Nobody is interested in everything, but everyone is interested in something.

While matching your interests with your career may not guarantee happiness and success, it

Angela gave similar advice from my prior video which is that she would NOT encourage young

She instead advises them to foster a passion.

A common misconception is that you wake up one day and know your passion and have your

Most grit paragons spent years exploring several different interests, and eventually one grew

A common mistake that holds people back from loving what they do is the unrealistic expectations.

You will never find a career that is 100% perfect and without any downsides, headaches,

If you haven't fostered a passion yet, you must begin with discovery.

Ask yourself what do you commonly think about, where does the mind wander, what do you really

In contrast, what do you find absolutely unbearable?

A lot of anxiety comes from the assumption that your calling is a magical entity that

Whatever you do, you continually look at what you do and ask how it connects to other people,

the bigger picture, how it can be an expression of your deepest values.

Purpose—the intention to contribute to the well-being of others—is another.

The mature passions of gritty people depend on both.

Becoming an Expert Here's what set experts apart: deliberate practice.

Have you heard of the 10,000 hour rule suggested by Malcolm Gladwell?

It's not just the time, but also the quality of the practice.

Experts set a stretch goal, zeroing in on just one narrow aspect of their overall performance.

Rather than focusing on what they already do well, they strive to improve specific weaknesses.

They intentionally seek out challenges they can't yet meet.

They also quickly seek feedback – much of the feedback is negative.

They are more interested in knowing what they did wrong, so they can fix it.

Atul Gawande, physician and author, said the following: “People often assume that you

have to have great hands to become a surgeon, but it's not true.

What is most important, is practicing this one difficult thing day and night for years

It requires significantly more effort and is often less enjoyable.

The physical and mental intensity makes deliberate practice incredibly strenuous, so much so

that often athletes and musicians take naps after their most intensive training sessions.

To make a habit of deliberate practice is key in developing mastery.

Figure out a time and place everyday and spend the allocated time doing deliberate practice.

When you do this, you hardly have to think about getting started.

Grittier individuals not only perform more deliberate practice, but they also rate it

as being more enjoyable compared to others.

It's hard to know whether it's the chicken or the egg in this instance.

One possibility is that grittier kids spend more time doing deliberate practice, and over

the years, they develop a taste for hard work as they experience the rewards of their labor.

This is the “learn to love the burn” story as Angela Duckworth describes it, or “learn

to love the process” as I have described it in a prior video.

Most of us do NOT perform deliberate practice.
