#8 TED Talk

1. strike (verb)
to inflict, deliver, or deal (a blow, stroke, attack, etc.).
strike in, to interrupt suddenly; intervene
ex: I struck in with a suggestion.

 2. parallelogram (noun)
a quadrilateral having both pairs of opposite sides parallel to each other.
ex: The tables at which the guests are seated form three sides of a parallelogram.

 3. rookie (noun)
an athlete playing his or her first season as a member of a professional sports team.
ex: The rookie replaced the injured regular at first base.

Grit is passion and persistence for long-term goals. Grit can make you more motivated, and you will feel more interested in doing that. Recently many people talk about doing things with passion. Passion is more important than everything. Because if you don't have that, after one month, two months you will be less and less willpower than you'll give up. So I think that grit comes from passion.
