Growth Mindset
The growth mindset can open pathways to more creativity and possibility, and enable the setting of higher goals and more achievement. A growth mindset is synonymous with a love of learning.And believes that one’s fundamental abilities can be developed through perseverance and effort. By contrast, in a fixed mindset, intelligence and talent are seen as fixed traits.

| Summary | Achieves more & Higher goals | Fails to reach full potential |
