Mindset

THE IMPACT OF MINDSET Your mindset plays a critical role in how you cope with life's challenges. When a child has a growth mindset, they tend to have a hunger for learning and a desire to work hard and discover new things. This often translates into academic achievement. As adults, these same people are more likely to persevere in the face of setbacks. Instead of throwing in the towel, adults with a growth mindset view it as an opportunity to learn and grow. On the other hand, those with fixed mindsets are more likely to give up in the face of challenging circumstances. In his book "Mindset: Rich mindset vs. Poor mindset: Rich people plan for three generations, Poor people plan for Saturday night, Vishnu writes that those with fixed mindsets are constantly seeking the justification to prove their worth not just to others, but also to themselves.
