Grit is the determination and passion to keep working toward your objectives, even when progress is slow, or obstacles arise. Grit matters because:
• Success is not about talent alone—grit determines how far we go.
• Helps us stay motivated despite failures.
• Turns hope into action.
And they don’t have to be big obstacles – little things like interruptions at work can also seem daunting. With those, it’s both the determination to roll with the punches as much as having an ‘it’s all good’ attitude that help you get past them. I often tell people interested in jobs in the hospitality industry, that customers regularly interrupt employees when asking for directions or any manner of other help-related questions. In those moments, a smile and a flexible attitude often make great and lasting impressions, when it’s our choice if that’s a good moment or a wasted opportunity. As we would like if we were being served. Grit, along with the optimism I wrote about yesterday, are the kinds of things companies look for in their employees. They can’t teach them; but you can hone them by staying positive, controlling your stress levels, and treating others the way you want to be treated. In work and life, learn to take the good with the bad and keep your can-do attitude going today.
