Although you can slowly accept the idea that effort might be necessary, you still can’t accept that it’s no guarantee. It’s enough
of an indignity to have to work at things, but to work and still not have them turn out the way you want—now, that’s really not
fair. That means you could work hard and somebody else could still get the promotion. Outrageous.
Over time, further changes occur:
You begin to enjoy putting in effort and…you begin to think in terms of learning. As you become a more growth-minded person,
you’re amazed at how people start to help you, support you. They no longer seem like adversaries out to deny you what you
deserve.
Dweck’s theory can be applied in business, in relationships, in sports, with your children, and with your students.
Soon you will break another windshield. Learn from your failure and your life will seem full of new possibilities.
