GRIT with Audible

I finished "GRIT" in Japanese. It was a good book. Grit is important for our business, study and life. 
I'll listen to the audiobook in English next. The Japanese edition will help my understanding for the audiobook in English.

Reading GRIT

I'm reading GRIT in Japanese. It's a really  interesting book. In the Chapter 9, the author said that she had a favorite Japanese saying: Fall seven, rise eight, 七転び八起き. She also said "the hope that gritty people have has nothing todo with luck and everything to do with getting up again."

GRIT

I'm reading "GRIT" in Japanese. I think I'll read the original text after the Japanese translation. Anyway, it shows the importance of grit. 
The author revealed that mature paragons of grit have four common features.  
"First comes interest. Passion begins with intrinsically enjoying what you do. 
Next comes the capacity to practice. 
Third is purpose. For most people, interest without purpose in nearly impossible to sustain for a lifetime. 
Finally, hope. Hope is a rising-to-the-occasion kind of perseverance".
