What is Growth Mindset?

A growth mindset is the belief that intelligence, skills, and abilities can be developed through effort, dedication, and learning, rather than being fixed traits. This perspective encourages embracing challenges, persisting through obstacles, and viewing failure as a valuable opportunity for growth rather than a limitation.

Key Characteristics of a Growth Mindset

  • Embracing Challenges: Viewing obstacles as opportunities to learn rather than threats.

  • Persistence: Continuing to strive even when faced with setbacks or frustration.

  • Effort as Path to Mastery: Believing that hard work is essential for improvement and success.

  • Learning from Feedback: Utilizing criticism to improve performance.

  • Inspiration in Others' Success: Finding lessons in the achievements of peers rather than feeling threatened.

  • The Power of "Yet": Believing that if a skill is not mastered, it is not mastered yet, keeping the door open for future growth.

Growth Mindset vs. Fixed Mindset

  • Growth Mindset: "I can learn anything I want to" and "failure is feedback".

  • Fixed Mindset: "I am either good at it, or I am not" and "failure is a limit".

Cultivating a growth mindset help you to unlock your potential, improving performance in academics, business, and personal development.
