My comment:
I agree that grit is the key to success.
In the speech ,she said that Grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals. Grit is having stamina. Grit is sticking with your future, day in, day out, not just for the week, not just for the month, but for years, and working really hard to make that future a reality. Grit is living life like it's a marathon, not a sprint.
In my personal experience ,for example ,on studying ,I am not a smart student ,the only way I can get great grade is hard-working.But inertia is a common failing ,what can we do to overcome it is grit.
A success person is always a grittier person.Maybe he/she is not smart ,not rich ,doesn't have a good out looking.But be gritty ,success closing.
yeah, we can never be sure how far from success we are, so grit is a challenge to measure improvement.

=> no need to put space in front of a comma.
=> after a period, you need to give a space.
