Jonah Lehrer’s book Imagine<\/em> addresses how creativity works… excellent book …it comes to a number of conclusions about the fact that creativity is really not as much a gift as it \u00a0is a developed trait..<\/p>\n

Psychologists, in recent years he claims, have studied the relationship between persistence and creative achievement and have cited the fact that most creative people have a phenomenal ability to stick with\u00a0their work\u00a0in spite of all the difficulties and challenges they’re faced with… technical term he uses for this trait is grit..<\/em><\/p>\n

It made me realize that one of the reasons we have so many people in America who actually just give up looking for a job when they need one is that they lack grit<\/em>…<\/p>\n

Many of these people who give up looking for a job just plain don’t know what to do… after talking to a few friends and family they resort to hitting the send button with their resume thinking that is the work of “looking for a job.”\u00a0 Grit<\/em> in looking for a job has to do with developing a job search strategy and executing on that strategy no matter how hard or difficult it may be… putting up with the ups and downs of the job search… the rejection, the refusal, the \u00a0not getting called back, being told you’re the “best candidate” and then never hearing from the folks\u00a0who told you that…\u00a0grit<\/em> is what it takes to keep on keeping on in spite of setbacks…<\/p>\n

Grit<\/em> is focusing on the process and not worrying about the results even when it’s emotionally difficult…<\/p>\n
