I recommended ‘grit’ to a friend. A few weeks later I asked how he liked it. He said ‘I didn’t finish it, it was a bit hard going’. I’ve always wanted to tell you that!!

Dr. Duckworth, when I was teaching I started each year by having my students watch your GRIT Ted Talk — it’s made such a difference.

I remember hearing your TedTalk video about grit and it was life changing hearing that video 8 years ago. Around this time, I applied to UC Berkeley as a transfer student and I got rejected. While I did feel sad about my rejection, that rejection letter led me to writing an appeal letter on the last day that the school was accepting appeal letters from their admissions decision. I specifically remember writing that my grit has led me to try again regardless of what unexpected outcomes happened to me. I ended up getting accepted!

“To get situated” is powerful. We may not control what life brings, but we can choose our environment, our direction, and who we become. Even life’s hardest blows can become lessons. Being alive is a miracle—and every day is an opportunity to make it count. Thank you, Dr. Duckworth.

Story :
We are influenced by environments. There are many environments to consider: biological, physical (as you have explored), ideological, digital, religious... on and on the list goes... the self-concept explores all external environments, self-image in self-reflection internalizes these, while the self-ideal idolizes these, self esteem accomplishes in spite of and/or inspired by these.

I didn’t know it was grit, but I keep looking for the light at the end of the tunnel while I grit my teeth and move forward.
