Into the book
“Seonjae, there’s something I really want you to think about.”
“Huh? What is that?”
“I told your brother about this too, there’s a word called ‘grit.’”
“This is my first time hearing about it.”
“Grit is an English word meaning ‘sand’ or ‘small stone.’
It can mean 'grit your teeth' or 'fighting spirit'.
Seonjae, you know the saying, "grit your teeth and work hard," right? The word "grit" also carries the meaning of "working hard with the strength of a clenched fist, like biting sand."
Just thinking about biting down on sand with my teeth made my jaw hurt and I frowned.
Dad smiled at Seonjae and continued talking.
“Haha, that doesn’t mean you actually have to grit your teeth.
It means doing something with that much passion and persistence.
Well, let's call it 'passionate persistence.' Passion is difficult, and persistence is difficult, but when the two are combined, how difficult can it be? That's why it's a strength that not everyone can easily possess."
Dad and Brother's Secret Weapon: Grit
“That would be nice.”
"what?"
“I have it.
I'm good at other things, but I'm not good at using my hands.
I'm not good at cutting things with a knife or scissors, and I'm not good at dropping things one drop at a time with an eyedropper.
When I do it, it just flows out.
My mom says it's because I'm not good with my hands.
You saw it earlier, right? I was shivering because I couldn't block the glass tube.
“Ugh, I really can’t do that.”
"however?"
“That’s why I’m so jealous of you.”
"what?"
Seonjae raised his voice in surprise.
At the same time, I thought, 'What is this?'
He can so easily confess his embarrassing story and say things like, "I'm jealous," which I thought were just words in my head!
It doesn't seem like it will work, so why do it?
“Then here’s the question.
“Why do some students give up without even trying?”
“A student with weak physical strength?”
Dad shook his head.
“No, among the students who quit Beast, there were many who were top-ranked in terms of grades and physical strength.”
“Then does that mean I lack perseverance?”
"that's right.
What was more important than talent was the 'never give up attitude'.
For West Point students, if they can just survive the Beast, success is virtually guaranteed.
So, in the end, grit was one of the most important factors that determined success.”
What's more important than talent
“How are you feeling? Are you nervous?”
"yes."
“Haha, you bastard.”
The teacher grabbed Seonjae's shoulders and looked him in the eye.
“Seonjae, I trust you.
It's not that I believe you'll win the award, it's that I believe in the efforts you've put in so far.
You've worked really hard.
I think your efforts are worth more than any award.
No matter what the results are today, you are always number one to me.
So, do it with peace of mind.
Got it?”

Publisher's Review
“Okay, I’ll try again!”
A book that gives you the confidence and courage to change your future through effort!
“I don’t think it will work, so why should I do it?”
This is something children often say to their parents or teachers.
In today's world, where people expect to quickly become number one or rich with just a little effort, books that teach children the importance of consistent effort are needed.
Seonjae, a fifth grader and the main character of "Grit for Kids," is also a child who says something similar.
Seonjae, who only tries to do what he can and easily gives up if it is even a little difficult, accidentally comes across 'grit' through conversations with his father and older brother and learns why he has to do things he doesn't want to do and what kind of 'conscious practice' he needs to do to become better than he is now.
In this way, this book tells the story of Seonjae, who is talented but lacks perseverance and gives up easily, gradually changing as he learns and takes grit to heart while preparing for a science exploration competition, and the power of effort that he realizes on his own as he accumulates small successes, in an exciting story that is tailored to the children's level and emotions.
Anyone can naturally learn the power of passionate perseverance, 'grit', through the audition challenges of idol trainee Hyung Yoon-jae, who practices dancing day and night to the point that his right and left arms are different thicknesses, and the daily life of his friend Dayoon, who always fails due to lack of talent but always happily challenges herself.
Grit, the key to developing talent!
It is fun to read as a ‘fairy tale’ and it is solid as a ‘thought-provoking’ story!
《Grit for Children》 is not only fun to read, but also includes a thought-provoking section within the text so that children can think about grit while reading the story and put it into practice in small ways in their lives.
The book, "Growing Thoughts," was written by Dr. Noh Gyu-sik, who reviewed the content of the book and has been an expert in youth psychology and learning, as well as an advisory member of SBS's "Genius Discovery Team," and has been adapted to fit this book. It is structured in the form of a "workbook within the book" so that children can write directly while reading the book.
This book, which consists of 10 topics related to fairy tales, such as 'What do I really want to do?', 'What should I do after finding the sprout of interest?', 'How much grit do I have?', 'How to utilize 100% of deliberate practice', 'Having a sense of purpose', and '4 steps on a roadmap to finding my dream', is useful for parents and teachers to discuss and use with children.
Rather than simply listing questions, it also includes friendly and detailed 'help' that provides clues on how to develop one's thinking, allowing children to think and write on their own.
For a child who gets bored easily and gives up quickly
A book that teaches you the meaning of 'trying and trying one more time'!
The difference between children with low grades but high IQs and those considered gifted but with average IQs is said to be the difference in their ability to persevere. Children who demonstrate giftedness despite their low IQs possess an incredible passion for their chosen fields and the tenacity to challenge themselves one more time and see it through to the end.
On the other hand, even if you have a high IQ, if you lack perseverance, your performance will not be as good as your talent.
This book is packed with useful information for children who want to develop this passionate tenacity, and for parents who want to help children who get bored easily develop this tenacity.
By reading the book, anyone will develop a healthy mindset that allows them to think, "I'm so proud of my efforts," and "Even if I fail, I'm glad I learned a lot."
