In the book
If a setback feels like a verdict on your basic worth, you are speaking the fixed mindset's language; if it feels like information about where to push next, you are speaking the growth mindset's. The difference even changes the feedback you go looking for: people who are committed and confident actually seek out negative feedback, because when your goal is to improve a skill rather than to prove you already have it, a correction moves you forward instead of wounding you. And here is the freeing part — the fixed mindset is itself just a belief, and you can choose the other one. […] The mindset first: you are not finished, your brain is still clay, and the only question is what you will shape it into next. Adopt the growth mindset on purpose. When you hear yourself say "I can't," add the word yet; treat effort as the road to mastery rather than proof you lack talent; read your failures as information about where to push, not verdicts on your worth; and actively seek out the negative feedback most people flee. Be a lifelong learner. Set aside time every single day for it, and never stop, because the day you stop is the day you die mentally; be your own great teacher; learn from the giants who came before you, and love the truth enough to admit when you are wrong. — Expanding Your Range (Growth/Change/Education/Learning/Habit)
