A growth mindset; and it’s nothing to do with just being smart.

I’ve recently been reading Mindset, by Dr Carol S Dweck.

The book is a full and frank discussion of two different types of mindset: a fixed mindset, and a growth mindset, and the consequences of being stuck with the former.

A person with a fixed mindset believes they are either dumb or smart; they can’t change it.

A person with a growth mindset believes that being dumb or smart isn’t the issue. They can learn, improve, and get better, whatever their starting point is.
