Angela Lee Duckworth, was 27 years old when deciding to left her job in management consulting for a job that she loved, as a teacher. After several more years of teaching, she decided to educate students from a psychological perspective. So she left her job and went to graduate school to become a psychologist. Afterwards she join with her research team in Military Academy, trying to predict which cadets were selected, and they partnered with private companies to find other research. Finally they found one characteristic as a significant indicator of success. And it was not social intelligence, good looks, physical health, and IQ. It was grit. Grit is passion and perseverance for very long term goals. Grit is working really hard to make your dream comes true, not for a day, a week, a month, but for years.
