Agreeableness Definition
Introduction
A. “Zeal, Perseverance, Motivation and Effort.” The words that can describe any individual to become different! Explaining an individual task at hand on to completing or becoming anything is using mere “words”. But with GRIT, we can be the change.
B. Grit is described to be “a positive, non-cognitive trait based on an individual’s passion for a particular long-term goal or end state, coupled with a powerful motivation to achieve their respective objective.” What seems to be easy, it’s hard becoming it.
C. I say what I am going to do, but I never follow through. When expressing my thoughts, I tend to be very proficient; however, I lack zeal. I will use this as a sign to not have grit, but to become GRITTY.
First main point
…show more content…
“Agreeableness” describes me very well; however, I have to put it into my life more often because it can reveal the person I’m supposed to be.
4. “Neuroticism”, everyone has it; consequently, people let anxiety, fear, moodiness, worry, envy, and frustration take control of their life. Unless there is change upon us, we will live in a neurotic way.
Second main point (second strongest)
A. GRIT
1. As I gave the definition of grit, I never thought to make it an initial process towards my life. Since I have the opportunity, I will put the use of GRIT into action.
2. Where I have the ability to engage in something new, I will start to challenge myself.
B. Using GRIT
1. While engaging into something new such as grit, I will make it where I set myself to think about my long-term goals. I know where I want to go; however, I must stay focused and be ready. My lifestyle is not bad; hence, me being lazy, procrastinating on a lot of things can defeat the purpose of having grit.
2. Had I known about grit while in high school, I could have put it into action. My way into having passion; also, perseverance can make me believe that I can accomplish new

Where new objectives lie, I will tackle them like a defensive lineman to a running back. It’s time to put grit to my lifestyle, and set it off like a landmine blowing up. I have to give my mind something new to learn, so I can make it a habit.
2. Gritty people as Caroline Adams Miller states “have the confidence to ask themselves “why not?” instead of “why?” when faced with a challenge. That being said, grit is more profound than what I’ve thought; therefore, I will show my dedication to all things and take good risks to defeat my limitations.
Third main point (weakest)
A. Limitations
1. My limitations play a key factor into having grit; furthermore, I must see beyond what is stopping me, while I continue towards my goal.
1. My goal is to have few limitations so that I can test myself on those restrictions.
B. Applying Difference
1. My high school ROTC instructor MSgt Chatman once told me, that “If I work hard now, I can enjoy the benefits later.” After he told me that, I never thought to apply it to my life. Until now, funny, he gave me a realization that life is not always about fun and living life for the world. I live life in the way God has it; however, I do fall back sometimes where he catches me telling me “Don’t give up, For I am with

    Terry Malloy obeys moral authority by choosing to inform on the corrupt union officials—that is, in the film he clearly makes the morally correct decision. Those on his side include a Catholic priest and a kind-hearted teacher trainee, and these endorsements increase the audience’s sympathy for one side over the other. Vicious doubt and derision about his potential choice affect Terry and all his friendships throughout the film, since the men are understandably concerned about their own jobs and their own lives. The closing scene, however, changes these feelings profoundly. The entire…

    Grit is the strength of character and is seen differently by everybody such as how Dr. Duckworth sees it and myself. Dr. Duckworth states in her interview with “Ted Talk” that it’s how much passion a person has, how much stamina they have in achieving their long term goal. Unlike Dr. Duckworth I believe that a person’s mindset plays a major part in grit and I also believe you have to be optimistic and have the resilience to be a gritty person. Dr.Duckworth’s article on grit discusses the importance and the differences of grit.…

    The first time I experience grit was when I first went skiing for my first time at Sundown, which is a ski resort near Dubuque. At first I did not like skiing, because I would always fall, but I was determined to be a good skier. By my second time at Sundown I started to get the hang of it. By my third night I could go down all the hills in a controlled manner, then I started to really enjoy skiing. I then found out if I keep on working and try my hardest on something it will always pay off in the end. Grit made me take something I dislike, and made it into one of my favorite things to do in the winter. Today I have been skiing for over 3 years. Even after I hurt my back skiing 2 years ago, I still went back the next year.…

    The quote, “The moment we believe that success is determined by an ingrained level of ability we will be brittle in the face of adversity,” by Josh Waitzkin expresses how if people believe that success is based on capability when they face a problem, they’ll tend to give up and fail. Growth mindset is when people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work. Grit is perseverance and passion for long-term goals. Grit and growth mindset has been proven to help one achieve in academics, personal life, and career.…

    This article also talks about the idea that people that have built grit will be successful in whatever they chose to do. Sometimes we like to do a lot of things at the same time thinking we are achieving what we want. The truth is that we won’t know if we could give more to what we are doing because we are not focusing on finishing one thing first. An example will be that sometimes we get a lot of classes to finish fast and we don’t pay the attention that is…

    “Grit is that 'extra something' that separates the most successful people from the rest. It's the passion, perseverance, and stamina that we must channel in order to stick with our dreams until they become a reality” (Bradberry). Throughout someone life series of events may occur, some of them will be good and some of them will bad, but the way people deal and react with the bad occurrences shape their characters and may lead to good events later one, meaning the amount of grit someone has can lead to how successful someone will be later in live. This can be shown by comparing the childhood, the father-son relationship, and the adulthood of two different literary characters, Joe Rantz, from the Boys in The Boat, and Amir, from The Kite Runner.…

When I was younger I was very determined to play sports, but my opportunities seemed limited. At my age I considered myself to be one of the best football players we had. Unfortunately, it was hard for me to actually showcase my talents, because sometimes I would miss or even have to walk to my practices or games.…

    Modern audiences would blame Paris for not courting Juliet, however in Shakespeare's time Paris would have been considered as behaving in a much more proper fashion than Romeo. Private courting between young people, illustrated in Romeo and Juliet, was officially disapproved of. There are many types of love in the two scenes, for example Paris's love. Paris is the man Juliet's parents think is fit for her; however this arranged marriage does not involve love - love was not a feeling, it was a commitment. Another type of love is illustrated in Romeo and Juliet. When Romeo met Juliet, Romeo became more passionate, seen in his language compared with his language about Rosaline. Juliet also became more independent. Their love was so strong they were willing to die for each other, although their families had gone through years of hatred.…

    Grit has many meanings to me. It means that you can push through when you need to most. Also, it means that you try your hardest all the time. Many people have potential but don't try hard enough to use it. You can be smart, but if you don't try, you won't go anywhere. You can be athletic, but if you don't put forth the effort to become great, you won't. This is why grit is so…

    The term FMCG (fast moving consumer goods), although popular and frequently used does not have a standard definition and is generally used in India to refer to products of everyday use. Conceptually, however, the term refers to relatively fast moving items that are used directly by the consumer. Thus, a significant gap exists between the general use and the conceptual meaning of the term FMCG.…
