The Dopamine System

1. Reward pathway
"Why do I keep opening Instagram?"

2. Focus pathway
"Why can't I start this essay?"

3. Movement pathway
"Why Parkinson's patients experience tremors"

Dopamine is not about pleasure — it's about the anticipation of pleasure.

— Wolfram Schultz, 1997

neuroplasticity

Your brain's ability to rewire itself — at any age.

It means "too old to learn" isn't a thing. That's not a motivational poster — it's neuroscience. Every time you study something new, your brain physically changes to get better at it.

grit
The combination of passion and perseverance for long-term goals — more predictive of success than talent or IQ.
So basically just... not giving up?
Not exactly. Stubbornness is refusing to quit. Grit is refusing to quit something you genuinely care about. If you've ever stayed up until 3am building something nobody asked you to build — that's grit, not insomnia.
