80/20 rule: Pareto principle
Pareto principle - Wikipedia
"It is a common rule of thumb in business; e.g., "80% of your sales come from 20% of your clients." Mathematically, the 80/20 rule is roughly followed by a power law distribution (also known as a Pareto distribution) for a particular set of parameters, and many natural phenomena have been shown empirically to exhibit such a distribution"

How to Use The 80/20 Rule For Goal Setting @BrianTracy
"If you have a list of ten items to accomplish, two of those items will turn out to be worth more than the other eight items put together.
The sad fact is that most people procrastinate on the top 10 or 20 percent of items that are the most valuable and important, the “vital few,” and busy themselves instead with the least important 80 percent, the “trivial many,” that contribute very little to their success."

book review:
Grit by Angela Duckworth | Brian Johnson
New +1: How to Build Your Grit - The 4 Key Scientific Variables - YouTube
"Grit = intense passion + intense perseverance
Effort count twice:
Achievement = Skill * Effort; Skill = Talent * Effort
=> Achievement = Talent * Effort * Effort"
Grit by Angela Duckworth - YouTube
review by Brian Johnson
- Grit = Passion + Perseverance (West Point "beast barracks")
- Talent * Effort = Skills; Skills * Effort = Achievement
- Gritty Passion: passion that endures, ultimate concern
- Grow Grit
- from inside out
- from outside in (i.e. parenting)
- Psichological Assets:
- Interest
- Practice
- Purpose (service)
- Hope
- Wise Parenting (from Latin, "to bring forth" potential in children)
- + Warmth + Standards = Supportive
- - Warmth + Standards = Authoritative
- + Warmth - Standards = Permisive
- - Warmth - Standards = Neglect
Angela Duckworth: "Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance" | Talks at Google - YouTube
Talent is important (a speed of acquiring new skills),
but without perseverance does not help finish what is started.
Spirit of Kaizen, contiguous improvement, (directed) deliberate practice:
- Extremely Intentional (very specific goals, problem solving)
- 100% Focus (practicing with great effort)
- Feedback, ideally immediate and information rich
- Reflect and refinement, and try again
