Angela Lee Duckworth (born 1970) is an American academic, psychologist, and popular science author.

There are no shortcuts to true excellence.
As our knees and hips and eyesight deteriorate, we become more dependable, less impulsive, kinder, and less moody. Psychologists call this the maturity principle. My own life experience fits this principle to a T.
Gritty people train at the edge of their comfort zone. They zero in on one narrow aspect of their performance and set a stretch goal to improve it.

Grit is living life like it's a marathon, not a sprint.
