The growth mindset is a starting point for change, but people need to decide for themselves where their efforts toward change would be most valuable.

A growth mindset is about believing people can develop their abilities.

Mindsets are an important part of your personality, but you can change them. Just by knowing about the two mindsets, you can start thinking and reacting in new ways.

Remember that having innate talent is not a goal. Expanding skills and knowledge is.

When people believe their basic qualities can be developed, failures may still hurt, but failures don’t define them.

We can appreciate them as much as we want for the growth-oriented process—what they accomplished through practice, study, persistence, and good strategies.

Not only weren’t they discouraged by failure, they didn’t even think they were failing. They thought they were learning.

People in a growth mindset don’t just seek challenge, they thrive on it.
