How Do You Show a Growth Mindset?


Growth Mindset is something we have spent a lot of time talking about.  Persevering even when things get hard and telling yourself you can do whatever you set out to do.  Will you fail?  Only if you don't learn from your mistakes.  Henry Ford said, "I would rather build a big plane and learn something, even if it didn't fly, than to build a smaller one that worked perfectly and not learn anything."  We learn from our mistakes.  Our brains grow more when we make a mistake and learn from it than when we accomplish something with little effort and no mistakes.

Today's Challenge: Share in the comments about a time when you practiced a growth mindset.  What did you learn?  How did the situation or experience turn out in the end?  Remember to only share your first name.  No last names.
