There are two kinds of mindset - the growth mindset and the fixed mindset. A growth mindset follows the belief that you can grow and transform your abilities through hard work,  whereas a fixed mindset believes that you’re born with a fixed level of ability.

Studies have shown that a growth mindset is more linked to success. This is because it encourages perseverance and prioritises the journey of learning over the success/failure outcome. It also means that you are more likely to challenge yourself.

Having a growth mindset offers a more realistic view of life. It’s inevitable that you will face challenges and setbacks, but remaining motivated towards your goal in spite of these gives you the opportunity to succeed.
