This article seems to reference a personality trait that seems to be lacking in modern society: grit. Just my person opinion. Heck, I've lacked grit, in some situations.

For a good (motivational) read about the definition of grit, who's got it, and why it matters, I recommend Angela Duckworth [link]http://angeladuckworth.com/

I don't think it's a lack of grit. I think a lot of it is a lack of motivation, or a lack of explanation of why they should continue.
