The Science of Success
What Separates the Top 1% From the Rest?
A study done by a Professor of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania did a study on the ‘science of achievement’, the study aimed to isolate components that separate success and failure.
The study revealed that that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent but a special blend of passion and persistence she calls “grit.”
Grit—a combination of passion and perseverance for a singularly important goal—is the hallmark of high achievers in every domain.
How Do You Apply Grit to Your Career?
Goals work in harmony with one another. Each goal leads to another goal and ends up leading to one north star.
A North Star is personal career mission or objective that is being pursued over a sustained period of time.
The North Star is broken into mid-level goals which is then broken down into low-level goals. This way, large, seemingly unattainable goals become more and more achievable as it gets broken into into smaller and more achievable goals.
