What’s the big picture?
Your set of attitudes, known as a mindset,
has the ability to change the course of your
life. Esteemed research from Dr. Carol
Dweck found that hard work and resilience
are much more important to growth and
success than brains or talent.
People with a 'growth mindset,' believe
their current ability and characteristics are
merely a starting point for development and
their ability to achieve more and overcome
deficiencies is not limited. A growth mindset
allows them to thrive during some of the
most challenging times in their lives.

opportunities for self-improvement. Mistakes and setbacks aren't a mark of
failure; they're an opportunity to learn.

Be open to diverse learning tactics.
What works for one person may not work
