    How does GRIT EFFORT count TWICE?

    The Reason Grit Effort Counts twice

    Whenever we talk about achievement we tend to overemphasize talent and undermine the perseverance needed when the chips are down. In this blog post you will understand how grit effort counts twice in the journey from talent towards achievement.

    Scientifically explained:

    1. Talent * Effort (Grit) = Skill (The Skill you need for any achievement)
    2. Skill * Effort (Grit) = Achievement

    Thus for any achievement talent is a good starting point but unless we put in grit effort TWICE, crossing the threshold for any achievement is not possible.

    The below snapshot inspired from Angela Duckworth’s book Grit summarized the journey from talent to achievement.
