Growth Mindset

Stanford University psychologist, Carol Dweck, believes there are two different type of mindset belief systems; the Fixed Mindset and the Growth Mindset. The truth is that everyone is a mixture of both mindset, but one typically prevails more than the other.

The Growth Mindset is defined as: “In a Growth Mindset, people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work—brains and talent are just the starting point. This view creates a love of learning and a resilience that is essential for great accomplishment.” - Carol Dweck

In a Growth Mindset, you believe you have the ability do and learn anything. There is a power to the word yet. I do not know to do this algebraic equation yet, but with enough practice and effort I will be able too solve it correctly. In a Growth Mindset, you value the process of learning and effort given to do something than the final product itself.
