What do you choose to believe?

"You can always substantially change how intelligent you are."
Carol S. Dweck

"I divide the world into the learners and non learners."
Benjamin Barber

We can change our mindset and harness powerful beliefs. What is your mindset?


“If the faculty offered a course for students who need to improve their _____ skills, would you take it?”
Fixed Mindset
Growth Mindset
Not interested.
Emphatic yes.
Don’t want to expose deficiencies.
Believe that success is about learning.
To feel smart in the short run, willing to put college career at risk.
Seize the opportunity to learn.

Also, "people have to decide what kind of relationships they want:
  • Ones that bolster their ego.
  • Or ones that challenge them to grow." Carol S. Dweck
