In a conversation with Dr. Deji Ayoade, a fascinating concept was brought to light. 🎎
A certain lady on LinkedIn had shared her research findings on children, pinpointing a single attribute that stood as a strong recipe for success. The word was "Grit". 🏮
This term, often overlooked, encapsulates the essence of unwavering determination and relentless pursuit of one's goals, without compromising integrity. It's not about being "motivated", it's about being inspired, driven, and unstoppable.
However, in the military, or any challenging environment for that matter, two other elements come into play - selflessness and integrity. The less you focus on yourself and the more you serve others, the more you thrive. 🎐
Integrity, on the other hand, is a guiding light that can be channeled into every action, every decision. It's easy to lose sight of it in tough situations, to look for shortcuts. But the real strength lies in standing firm, in doing the work, in not taking the easy way out.
So, let's embrace grit, selflessness, and integrity as our guiding principles, and let's never be afraid of doing the work.
