One can also set a goal that is aiming to achieve, this will be though cultivating a sense of purpose in achieving a given goal. This can be learnt through also social interaction and this can be through associating with the gritty.

Having taught mathematics at a high school, she mesmerized by how there was a group of student who could performed better than others in her math class.
She goes further to elaborate grit by saying it is the act of sticking with things over a term until you master them and that is they become part of you. Duckworth tries to focus on one’s personal characters’ traits that she refers to it as grit.
