Dear Pulse readers,
When I think of grit, I think of someone who perseveres–and sometimes triumphs–in the face of hardship.
When I was nineteen years old I hitchhiked alone across the US and back. Was that grit? Or was it teenage wanderlust and foolhardiness?
Making my way through medical school certainly involved hardship–and I persevered. Was it grit that got me through, or was it a fear of failing?
