In other words, risk and effort are two things that might reveal your inadequacies and show that you were not up to the task. In fact, it’s startling to see the degree to which people with the fixed mindset do not believe in putting in effort or getting help.

Ignorance do not necessarily discredit one's ability to become great. It requires a process of learning the unknown and familiarizing oneself of hidden potentials to become good at one point. Receiving criticisms are good ways of pointing out what needs further attention. Opinions do not always matter but with the right comprehension, it can be used as an outline to improve on one's weaknesses and build up strength.

You Do Not Know Everything

An assessment at one point in time has little value for understanding someone’s ability, let alone their potential to succeed in the future.

Fixed mindset is contentment with a touch of entitlement. Growth mindset aims for more and unleashing one's potential while providing the right satisfaction.

Fixed VS Growth Mindset

Failure is part of success and a sibling of experience. Facing failure is hard, for failing is one thing we don't want. Hence, failure is never wrong and will never be wrong unless it turns into a person. Measuring one's value by defining their capacity based on one metric is a blindsided move. We are a product of diverse experiences, both good and bad. It is having the mindset of turning failures into lessons, which is a way of failing forward.

Fail Forward

World-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck, in decades of research on achievement and success, has discovered a truly groundbreaking idea-the power of our mindset. Dweck explains why it's not just our abilities and talent that bring us success-but whether we approach them with a fixed or growth mindset. She makes clear why praising intelligence and ability doesn't foster self-esteem and lead to accomplishment, but may actually jeopardize success. With the right mindset, we can motivate our kids and help them to raise their grades, as well as reach our own goals-personal and professional. Dweck reveals what all great parents, teachers, CEOs, and athletes already know: how a simple idea about the brain can create a love of learning and a resilience that is the basis of great accomplishment in every area.
