There are two types of mindset: fixed and growth. A fixed mindset is when you believe that your intelligence, talent, or skill is set in stone and that you can’t do anything to change it. A growth mindset is when you believe that your intelligence, talent, or skill can be developed continuously through certain strategies, training and hard work.
Fixed mindsets lead to a sense of entitlement because they think they deserve what they have without having to work for it. Growth mindsets lead to a sense of ownership because they know the effort put into achieving their goals will not be wasted.
Why is it Important to Have a Growth Mindset?
Let us understand this with an example. Let us consider that we have a knife, what all tasks can be carried out with a knife?
Cutting vegetables, fruits, meat or kill someone or perhaps use it as a doctor while doing an operation?
Isn’t all the above an application of knife? Now, is knife good or bad?
Knife is neither good nor bad, it is just a tool, but the outcome is truly dependent on the intention behind the usage of the knife. Similarly, the mind is a tool, if not used in the right way, can be used to create harm or danger.
The importance of a growth mindset is the idea that people can change their intelligence and abilities through hard work, education, and persistence. It is the belief that people can develop new skills and talents as they mature.
In a growth mindset, success comes from personal effort and not from innate qualities such as talent or intelligence.
People with this outlook believe that anyone can improve with practice, even if they are not naturally gifted in a skill. They believe that anyone can become smarter through learning or developing new skills.
You are just a single step away from developing your growth mindset.
