So what actually is Grit?

Grit is passion and perseverance for long-term goals, and that is
incredibly important in determining long-term success.
One way to think about grit is to consider what grit isn’t.
Grit isn’t talent. Grit isn’t luck. Grit isn’t how intensely, for the

Grit is having a goal, and working hard at it, no matter what happens
