I am of many things

I am the dead and the missing in the mountainous region of the river, I am the rain that falls to the ground, I am the sun that evaporates.  I'm Teresópolis, I am Ibiza, I am who I am who writes and then reads, I am the epithelial cell that dies, I'm god and the devil, and I love his absence, I'm light and darkness, I am the reproach and I am grace, I am everything and nothing, I am the mind that wanders slowly that must cease rambling and just feel who I really am.

Sou
Eu sou o ronaldinho gaúcho, sou os mortos e desaparecidos na região serrana do rio, sou a chuva que afofa o terreno que desaba, sou o sol que evapora o excesso e alimenta o recomeço, sou bruno e sou elisa, sou teresópolis soi ibiza, sou quem escreve e depois sou quem lê, sou a célula do epitélio que morre e sou hebe na tv, sou deus e sou o diabo, sou o amor e a ausência dele, sou luz e sou ausência de luz, o vitupério e sou a graça, sou o shumacher e o massa, sou o tudo e o nada, sou mente que devagar divaga que deve cessar o divagar e apenas sentir quem na Realidade sou EU. by  Nícolas Christ Fassano Cesar

True GRit

True Grit is a synonym for courage, honor, fortitude, braveness

Do You Have True Grit?

The formal definition of Grit is of rough granules, as of sand or stone. The psychological definition of Grit is as a positive non-cognitive trait that involves perseverance of effort to accomplish a long term goal no matter what obstacles or challenges lay within a “gritty” individual’s path.



Research defining grit as perseverance and passion for long-term goals found that as a trait, Grit had better predictability for success than IQ or conscientiousness.
The person with true grit is not likely to be the student with the highest SAT Score, the team member with the greatest talent, the manager with the Ivy League background or the most popular Mom on the block.

Actually the person with true grit shares the following qualities

• A clear goal
• Determination despite others’ doubts
• Self-confidence about figuring it out
• Humility about knowing it doesn’t come easy
• Persistence despite fear
• Patience for the small stuff that obscures the path
• A code of ethics they live by
• Flexibility in the face of roadblocks
• A capacity for human connection and collaboration
• A recognition that accepting help does not equate to weakness
• A focus and appreciation of each step in the journey
• An appreciation of other people’s grit
• A loyalty that never sacrifices connections along the way
• An inner strength that brings them to their goal
