The document discusses the concepts of fixed and growth mindsets as defined by Carol S. Dweck. A fixed mindset views success as a reflection of intelligence and seeks validation, while a growth mindset sees challenges as opportunities for learning and self-improvement. It emphasizes that one's attitude towards learning and failure significantly impacts overall success and personal development.

profoundly affects the way you

with his efforts and achievements.

you need to get the job done.

what the world thinks of them.

people of our era were considered
by experts to have no future.
Jackson Pollock, Marcel Proust, Elvis
Presley, Ray Charles, Lucille Ball, and
Charles Darwin were all thought to
have little potential for their chosen
fields.

13. Mindset change is not about
picking up a few pointers here
and there. It's about seeing
things in a new way.

judge-and-be-judged framework
to a learn-and-help-learn framework.

15. With practice, training, and above
all, method, you manage to increase
your attention, your memory, your
judgment and literally to become
more intelligent than you were before.

16. Becoming is better than being.

17. If you had to choose,
which would it be?
Loads of success and validation
or lots of challenge?

18. Don’t judge. Teach.
It’s a learning process.
