  20. Mindset Fixed Growth Learning more important than good grades The harder you try, the better you become Even geniuses have to work hard for their great accomplishments • I need to look smart • If I have to work hard, I’m not smart • A bad grade is because I’m not smart enough – I will now avoid that kind of challenge.

  21. It’s about the effort… • A failure is an opportunity to learn. • Mistakes are problems to be solved. • “Great accomplishments are typically the result of years of passion and dedication not something that flows naturally from a gift.” Carol Dweck
