Growth Mindset - It's not what you are born with that matters; it's your mindset that matters

"A mindset is a mental attitude that determines how you will interpret and respond to situations." (Dweck, 2006).
Growth Mindset is the view that we do not have a fixed intelligence that can be measured by an IQ test, but rather that the brain can develop and work better as you learn and challenge yourself. "Over time you can get smarter," (Dweck, 2010).

Carol Dweck is a professor at Stanford University and is a leading develop of the growth mindset philosophy and research on why people succeed and how to foster success.
