Nice summary good points

Although it is not the book but a summary this did have good points to bring home the value of grit. Grit from this summary's standpoint is more telling than intelligence in success. There were some interesting examples of this concept. The cadet programs are a prime example of grit over GPA.

A Must Read for Business and Parenting in Today's Modern World

I enjoyed this fast recap immensely. So much so that I will read the original book in its entirety. The book outlines the concept of personal fortitude and gravitas as vital ingredients to success. It clearly makes room for the idea that intellect and educational pedigree is not the only indicator of career success.
