3. Grit
Angela Duckworth on the foremost predictor of success:
"It wasn't talent or brains. It wasn't social intelligence. It
wasn't good looks. It wasn't physical health. It wasn't
IQ. It was grit." Duckworth defined grit as "a passion
and perseverance for very long-term goals. Grit is
having stamina. It's living life as a marathon, not a
sprint."

6. Setting Goals
“Goals that people set for themselves and that are
devoted to attaining mastery are usually healthy.
But goals imposed by others--sales targets,
quarterly returns, standardized test scores, and so
on--can sometimes have dangerous side effects.”
― Daniel H. Pink
