A growth mindset is believing that success depends on time and effort and that intelligence and skills can improve with persistence and effort. When a person has a growth mindset they embrace challenges, grow from criticism, and find inspiration when confronted with the success of others.
I understand that through good strategies, hard work, and input from others my abilities and talents are developed. I change the way I learn by changing the way I think. A growth mindset helps me understand the importance of persistence and determination. It enables me to overcome obstacles of which I will inevitably face.
I accept and grow from new and challenging situations, people, circumstances, and/or changes rather than become overwhelmed and/or resist. Knowing that my talents and intelligence can be developed allows me to experience, explore, and to achieve more.
