“It doesn't matter if people are playing jazz or writing poetry. If they want to be successful, they need to learn how to persist and persevere and keep on working until the work is done... I bet there isn't a single highly successful person who has not depended on grit. Nobody is talented enough to not have to work hard, and that's what grit allows you to do.” PeopleIfsWantNeedsWritingPersonsMatterHardDoneEnoughSuccessSuccessfulHard WorkAchievementJazzBeing SuccessfulPersistPersevereGritWriting PoetrySuccessful PersonPlaying Jazz Author:Jonah Lehrer
“The vocational approach at NOCCA (New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts) helps build grit in students. It teaches them how to be single-minded in pursuit of a goal, to sacrifice for the sake of a passion. The teachers demand hard work from their kids because they know, from personal experience, that creative success requires nothing less.” KnowsArtHardHelpingKidsPassionGoalTeachCreativeTeacherSacrificeStudentsHard WorkDemandApproachSakePursuitNew OrleansGritPersonal ExperiencesCreative Art Author:Jonah Lehrer
