I do think that excellence is available to all of us. And by that, I mean that people can find something that they really feel passionate about and work hard.

Introduction
Grit is a personality trait that includes perseverance, hardiness, resilience, and ambition.
But grit is not something you're born with, it's something that can be learned.
Angela Duckworth is a professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania and the CEO of Character Lab, a non-profit organization promoting character development.
Through her research, Duckworth has developed a novel theory of grit, along with the Grit Scale, which she shares with us.
This course will teach us what grit is and how to cultivate it so that we can transform into a more persistent and resilient version of ourselves.
