THE BEST PREDICTOR OF SUCCESS
What sets those who accomplish great things apart from those who fail to realize their ambitions?
.
You might guess intelligence, appetite for risk, or even creativity.
Those are allsensible-sounding suggestions, but that’s not what science has found.
.
According to work by pioneering Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck and others, the best predictor of success in life is none of these usual suspects–it’s your mindset.
.
Those who achieve great things generally believe they can improve and grow as people. This is called a “growth mindset.”
.
Those who are frustrated in their attempts to realize their dreams tend to believe their abilities and talents are static, a.k.a. they have a “fixed mindset.”
.
All of which is fine and good, but raises one essential question. If up to now you’ve tended to view your abilities through the prism of the fixed mindset, is there anything you can do to change?
.
Confidence in your self is priceless
