This document discusses the concepts of fixed and growth mindsets. It explains that a fixed mindset views traits as innate abilities while a growth mindset sees them as qualities that can be developed through effort. It encourages cultivating a growth mindset by believing we can become anything through focused effort and purposeful engagement. The document suggests striving for excellence and continuous growth rather than becoming stagnant. It poses the question of how AIESEC in 2015 could be envisioned from a growth mindset perspective.

11. • Their traits are just
givens.
• Have a certain amount of

nothing can change that.

• See their qualities as
things that can be
developed through their
dedication and effort.
• They’re happy if they’re
brainy or talented, but
that’s just the starting
point.
So people in this mindset worry
about their traits and how
adequate they are. They have
something to prove to
themselves and others.
They understand that no one has
ever
accomplished great things
without
years of passionate practice
and
learning.
They spend their time
documenting their intelligence or
talent instead of developing them.
They also believe that talent
alone
creates success—without effort.
This view creates a love of
learning and a resilience that is
essential for great
accomplishment. Teaching a
growth
mindset creates motivation and
productivity, and enhances
relationships.
