“ But grit isn’t just about stubborn perseverance - it’s also about finding a goal that can sustain our interest for years at a time. ”

Jonah Lehrer, “The Truth about Grit” (via niner)

Grits is a food of aboriginal American origin common in the Southern United States, consisting of coarsely ground corn.

Grits is similar to other thick maize-based porridges from around the world such as polenta. It also has a resemblance to farina, a thinner porridge.
