In a growth mindset, challenges are exciting rather than threatening. So rather than thinking, oh, I'm going to reveal my weaknesses, you say, wow, here's a chance to grow.

Wow, that's a really good score. You must have worked really hard.

Praising children’s intelligence harms their motivation and it harms their performance.

A company that cannot self-correct cannot thrive.

Why seek out the tried and true, instead of experiences that will stretch you?

When you enter a mindset, you enter a new world. In one world (the world of fixed traits) success is about proving you’re smart or talented. Validating yourself. In the other (the world of changing qualities) it’s about stretching yourself to learn something new. Developing yourself.

I don’t mind losing as long as I see improvement or I feel I’ve done as well as I possibly could.
