"Grit is defined as “perseverance and passion for long-term goals. Traditional constructs in this area include perseverance, hardiness, resilience, ambition, and need for achievement. Grit has been argued to be distinguishable from each of these in the following ways. Perseverance is the steadfast pursuit of a task, mission, or journey in spite of obstacles, discouragement, or distraction. In
contrast, Grit is argued to be trait to perseverance. Grit enables an individual
to persevere in accomplishing a goal despite obstacles over an extended
period.[3] When compared with the construct of persistence, Grit adds a component of passion for
the goal.[11] This goal passion also contributes to the ability of the individual to sustain effort
over the long term."[Wikipedia]
