Grit, or the perseverance and passion for long-term goals, has been associated with successful pursuits in academics, competitions, and professions outside of pharmacy. The fortitude needed to withstand tremendous physical, mental, and emotional stressors may be better predicted by grit than other factors. In those who demonstrate grit, a combination of factors may reflect academic achievement. It appears that achievement results when talent and effort are combined, with particular attention being paid to effort, as it is a function of the direction, duration, and intensity of a person's actions toward a goal. It appears that grit may be a good discriminating factor when evaluating individuals in other professions. The objective of this short commentary is to provide an introduction to the non-pharmacy literature surrounding grit and to suggest its applications in pharmacy.
毅力,即对长期目标的坚持不懈和热情,与在学术、竞赛及药学以外的职业领域取得成功相关。相比其他因素,毅力可能更能预测承受巨大身体、心理和情感压力所需的坚韧。在表现出毅力的人身上,多种因素的结合可能反映出学业成就。当天赋与努力相结合时似乎就能取得成就,尤其要关注努力,因为它取决于一个人朝着目标行动的方向、持续时间和强度。在评估其他职业的个人时,毅力可能是一个很好的区分因素。本简短评论的目的是介绍围绕毅力的非药学文献,并提出其在药学中的应用。
