Growth Mindset
- People who believe in the power of talent tend not to fulfill their
potential because they’re so concerned with looking smart and not
making mistakes. But people who believe that talent can be developed
are the ones who really push, stretch, confront their own mistakes and
learn from them.
- to make mistakes and struggle, but eventually we may do something that we’ll remember the rest of our lives
- people who valued stretching themselves over being king of their particular hill
- People with a growth mind-set tend to demonstrate the kind of
perseverance and resilience required to convert life’s setbacks into
future successes.
