Why
is the Most
Important
Quality for
Success

The Scripps National Spelling Bee
contest is one of the most cutthroat
and revered competitions.Winning,
psychologists found, takes more
than IQ or talent. The kids who won
were more inherently persistent
and likely to plug away at practice
on their own; they weren’t smarter,
they just worked harder. This quality
of perseverance and passion when
working toward long-term goals has
acquired the nickname of grit.
