방구석 원서읽기 [GRIT]_ 53-57p _ 12일차

-"And here's the really important thing. Grit is about working on something you care about so much that you're willing to stay loyal to it."
-How gritty you are at this point in your life might be different from how gritty you were when you were younger.

-I've heard of investors whose curiosity about the financial markets is as keen in their fourth or fifth decade of investing as it was on their very fast day of trading. I've heard of mathematicians who work on a problem- the same problem- day and night for years, without once deciding, "Oh, to heck with this theorem! I'm moving on to something else." And that's why the questions that generate your passion score ask you to reflect on how steadily you hold to goals over time.
