A growth mindset highlights hard work, and effort equates being the best you can be. The harder you work, and the more effort you put into something, the more success you’ll attain.
If you have a growth mindset, you’ll be curious and intrigued, ask questions, and want to learn more. Sometimes, you’ll fail the task at hand, but it might lead to a new, creative solution. With a growth mindset, you want to learn and will focus on learning rather than perfection.
Changing your belief from thinking that intelligence is static to one where it can grow, is a process. Like anything else in life worth doing, it’s not going to happen overnight. The more you practice and train your brain to think differently, the more you grow.
In a growth mindset, a setback is a reason to work harder, to spend more time studying, or to take on more organized skills and practices.
