31 Best Grit Quotes by Dr. Angela Lee Duckworth (EFFORT)

“Staying on the treadmill is one thing, and I do think it’s related to staying true to our commitments even when we’re not comfortable. But getting back on the treadmill the next day, eager to try again, is in my view even more reflective of grit. Because when you don’t come back the next day – when you permanently turn your back on a commitment – your effort plummets to zero. As a consequence, your skills stop improving, and at the same time, you stop producing anything with whatever skills you have.”

Conclusion: The Importance of Grit

These are 2 simple questions that I have been wondering for years:

  • Why do certain people achieve success in everything they do, while others struggle to get by?
  • What separates those who get excited only for a year (or less) and those who are consistently on fire?

My unquenchable thirst to answer these questions led me to a personal quest for self-discovery and growth.

I read books on Success & Productivity to learn from the best.

Most talented people we know simply show up every day, putting consistent effort over the long haul.

They stick to one thing and choose not to abandon ship when the going gets tough.

In other words, talented and successful people have GRIT.

Once we are able to cultivate grit in our lives, we too would become unstoppable.

Here are some of the most inspiring Angela Duckworth quotes so you can become grittier in your pursuit of excellence.
