What skills and traits make someone successful in life? Psychologist and researcher Angela Duckworth wanted to find out. What she discovered was the concept of "Grit". While it was about 100 pages too long in the opening, the meat of this book is so good. It helps you think about how to develop grit in your life, in your children, and how to measure it in others. It's fascinating and critical in a world changing rapidly.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
