A short YouTube monologue by Codie Sanchez arguing that perseverance/grit—ability to keep going past pain and difficulty—is the primary predictor of success. The speaker cites Angela Duckworth’s study at the University of Pennsylvania to support the claim that grit, not intellect, background, or wealth, predicts achievement.

The formula is literally keep going after it gets hard and probably a little bit past that. The difference between people who win and lose is one perseverance. Angela Duckworth did a famous study at the University of Pennsylvania that said it wasn't intellect, it wasn't iq, it wasn't background, it wasn't net worth that pre indicated success, it was how much pain you could take, AKA grit. And so if you can keep going, looks like you can win more often.
