What does Gritnova mean?
Gritnova is the merge of ‘grit’ & ‘nova’
Grit is having the passion and perseverance to achieve a long-term and meaningful goal.
Nova is an astronomical term which describes the event where a faint star shows a sudden large increase in its brightness to become visible to the naked eye in the night sky.
When you look at the sky at night, you can see that some stars are visible, strong and bright. But there are billions of unseen stars due to their very faint light. They exist but you can’t tell.
Gritnova is to say that each one of us has the compositions to be a bold shining star, we just need to have grit. When we put the hard work and sweat to achieve a meaningful goal, we shine. This is how we prove to the world that we exist.
