I’ve only recently learned about grit as a thing people are aiming for rather than something that is a description of something. It kind of reminds me of the Growth mindset stuff that has become popular recently, as well. IMO, it’s a trait that can obviously is beneficial to have (being able to learn to be better at something is going to beat not and being willing to put in the hard boring hours working on something is going to beat those that aren’t), but fetishizing over it is probably not going to end well.
