mindset : how you can fulfil your potential

Why Should I Care?
Children who enjoy the challenge of a task rather than the success of a task are more likely to succeed later in life​
If we are praised or reward ourselves for results rather than effort then this can easily lead
to a fixed mindset.
Be aware of and avoid labels both bad and good.  This includes the obvious ("stupid", "lazy")
and the ones that seem good ("natural", "gifted")
Just because someone has a strong opinion (see above)it doesn't mean they are right
 A positive attitude to failure



Sports
Character and mental toughness - can be learnt.  It separates winners and losers in sports
 Fixed mindset is all about the winning while growth the enjoyment is playing -
 
Business
Fixed mindset = Some people are superior to others.  Talent is everything
Everyone else expected to toe the line and not "rock the boat"
 
Growth = there is enthusiasm and ability to listen and allow all to develop their potential.
