Why we cite it

Provides the framework for understanding why sustained effort matters more than natural talent for long-term achievement. The equation Talent x Effort = Skill, Skill x Effort = Achievement shows effort contributing at two stages, not one. Relevant to the project because behavior change is a long-term pursuit where consistency of direction matters more than intensity at any moment — and because grit can be developed, not just discovered.
