The document discusses growth mindsets versus fixed mindsets. A growth mindset believes that intelligence can be developed through effort and learning, while a fixed mindset believes intelligence is innate and cannot change. The document provides examples of how each mindset thinks and behaves. It encourages adopting a growth mindset by believing in effort over innate ability and seeing failure as an opportunity to learn rather than something that defines a person's capabilities. Readers are prompted to reflect on how they can apply a growth mindset in their own lives.

Start to catch yourself if you are passing up a
chance for learning, if you feel labeled after a
failure, feel discouraged if something is
hard.
Next time something is hard, put yourself in
a growth mindset: Picture your brain
forming new connections as you meet the
challenge and learn
10. Visualize
Is there something in your past that labeled you (a grade, a
test score, being rejected)? Focus on that thing, feel the
emotions, and put yourself in a growth mindset: Know it
doesn’t define you and ask: What can I learn from that
experience/ How can I use it as a basis for growth?
Next time you feel challenged in a class, put yourself in a
growth mindset- think about learning, confronting the
obstacles, your neurons wiring together and don’t give up!
