Book 6 from 2017. Although the title may make it appear intuitive, the reading is much more insightful and applicable than you might guess. – source2018-09-22T22:17:54.000Z
@OmarKhafagy Great book. I think she actually talks about me in it 😂 – sourceIncredibly important…There is deeply embodied grit, which is born of love, purpose, truth to one's core under ferocious heat, and a relentless passion for what can only be revealed on the razor’s edge; and there is the cool, patient, disciplined cultivation and study of resilience that can teach us all how to get there. Angela Duckworth's masterpiece straddles both worlds, offering a level of nuance that I haven’t read before. – source

Talent x Effort = Skill.
Skill x Effort = Accomplishment.
SO EFFORT COUNTS TWICE.
Paraphrased from GRIT by @angeladuckw.
