What is Grit: A Deep Dive into the Personality Trait

If you find yourself tempted to give up on your goals, it's crucial to understand how to maintain your drive and determination. When examining the experiences of highly successful individuals, a recurring piece of advice emerges: they refuse to abandon their ambitious aspirations.
