A growth mindset is the belief that learning and intelligence can grow with time and experience. When a person believes he/she can become smarter, that persons realizes that effort has an effect on success, so he/she will put in extra time, leading to higher achievement.

OR
Do you keep trying? Do you understand that learning new things take time, patience and effort? Do you tell yourself, I cannot do it just yet, but I can learn it?
