The way we understand our
intelligence and abilities deeply impacts our success.
When students or adults
see their abilities as fixed, whether they think they're naturals or
just not built for a certain domain, they avoid challenge and lose
interest when things get hard. Conversely, when they understand that
abilities are developed, they more readily adopt learning-oriented
behaviors such as deliberate practice and grit that enable them to
achieve their goals. But this belief is itself malleable, and there are
clear actions we can all take to establish a growth mindset and enable
success for our children, our peers and ourselves.
