The Power Of The Mindset

Did you know that human qualities, such as intellectual skills, could be learned or you are one of those with the fixed mindset approach that thinks that either you are smart or you aren´t, and failure means you aren´t?

There are two types of mindsets, the fixed mindset, and the growth mindset. You choose which one you want to achieve, but before you do it, just know that the view you choose for yourself completely affects the way you lead your life.

The fixed mindset creates a need to prove yourself over and over. On the other hand, the growth mindset is based on the belief that your basic qualities are things you can develop through your efforts, your strategies, and help from others.

Those with the growth mindset found success in doing their best, in learning, and improving because personal success is when you work your hardest to become your best. For those with a fixed mindset, success is about establishing their superiority.

Those with the growth mindset found setbacks motivating. They are informative. In the fixed mindset, setbacks label you.

Life is about failure, even in the growth mindset failure can be a painful experience. But it does not define you. It´s a problem to be faced, deal with, and learned from.

If you are interested in learning more about the mindset, I highly recommend the book called “Mindset” written by Dr. Carol S.Dweck. As Bill Gates said “the value of this book extends way beyond the world of education. It´s just as relevant for business people who want to cultivate talent and for parents who want to raise their kids to thrive on challenge”
