Your approach to tasks, success, and failures is what shows your mindset. Growth Mindset is all about the power of yet. It is not about waiting for things to happen, but about continuing to work while gleaning lessons from the mistakes, you make along the way. As in the video above, you cannot say you will try and make a half effort and expect things to happen. You must attack life and learning with a passion and a fortitude that you will succeed. Don't just dream of what you could do, but do something... push yourself to grow.
There is no denying that some have an aptitude for learning individual skills. However, there is an adage that says your attitude, not your aptitude, determines your altitude. I dare say, some with the growth mindset can surpass those that have innate abilities with a fixed mindset. We need to teach students that learning can come from mistakes. Setbacks are opportunities for learning and growth of the brain.
There are thousands of stories of people that have created wonderful inventions or made big things happen after many failures. Sheer accidents are responsible for many designs. Success was a result of a mindset that I have not created or succeeded, yet.
There is power in the word yet. It implies a state of kinetic energy where you are moving forward, you are almost there, just a little bit further, one more push, and you could make it to the next point. It is power, hope, a desire to continue to grow despite the obstacles faced.
An individual with a growth mindset uses criticisms as a way to help them grow. Use the criticisms as a way to push learning or fuel the fire of passion and move forward to show to yourself and others that despite the obstacles: YOU WILL GROW... YOU WILL MAKE THINGS HAPPEN. It may not have arrived yet, but success in one form or another is coming.
Remember, if you decide to move on from something that it does not mean you have failed, it means there is something you have yet found that is your true calling. Take the lessons learned from your experiences and move forward with the power of yet.
