The answer to this is really simple. You may take credit for how much better you have done relative to those who had a similar upbringing and opportunity. That's it.
- rootusrootus 4y agoWell, the article author did suggest that how much grit you have is also a matter of luck.
- kelseyfrog 4y agoI can raise and lower my grit at will. Can't everyone?
- jensgk 4y agoNo
- triceratops 4y agoWhy would you lower your grit?
- fbdab103 4y agoSo I can raise it again.
- oh_sigh 4y agoOnly if you have enough grit to do so.
- rootusrootus 4y agoYou jest, but I suppose there are people like that. Try once, don't succeed, give up, blame the world. See also Reddit. As an inherently lazy person who has enjoyed moderate success in spite of it, I reject that attitude.
- AstralStorm 4y agoWhat good is credit for anyway? Does it actually get you anthing besides a boosted ego? (Different from a reputation. And both can and have been gamed.)
