Build a growth mindset

. . . Build a Growth Mindset. Research by psychologist Carol Dweck suggests that there are two basic mindsets that influence how people think about themselves and their abilities: the fixed mindset and the growth mindset..

. . . success isn't a result of hard work—it's simply a consequence of innate talents..

. . . effort. People who believe that they are capable of growth are more likely to achieve success. When things get tough, they look for ways to improve their skills and keep working toward success..

. . . Believe that your efforts matter. Rather than thinking their abilities are fixed or stuck, people who have a growth mindset believe that effort and hard work can lead to meaningful growth. Learn new skills. When faced with a challenge, they look for ways to develop the knowledge and skills that they need to overcome and triumph. View failures as learning experiences. People with growth mindsets don't believe that failure is a reflection of their abilities. Instead, they view it as a valuable source of experience from which they can.

. . . learn and improve. "That didn't work," they might think, "so this time I'll try something a little different.".
