If you get a grade 'not yet', you understand that you're on a learning curve. It gives you a path to the future.]] - "Not yet" and "no" are similar, except to one is more easily inspires opportunity than the other. - Transform the meaning of effort and difficulty. - [[Do not waste your life chasing validation from the judgments of now. Work towards your dreams by developing yourself through the power of yet.]] ### Mindsets - [[Growth mindset]] - Understanding that your abilities can be developed. - [[Fixed mindset]] - They can often lead to experiencing moments of judgment and feelings of failure. - Having a fixed mindset about your abilities means you will always work around your limitations rather than developing your abilities (therefore yourself) to overcome your limitations. - Equality can happen within environments that encourage a growth mindset. ### Failure - [[Failure is a feeling you allow yourself to feel]]. [[Failure is an event, not an identity]]. - [[Instead of luxuriating in the power of "yet", they were gripped in the tyranny of "now"]]. - Do not run from difficulty, run towards it; knowing that it will get easier after every single step. - Do not run from error engage with it. Process the error. Learn from it. Correct it. - [[Lead with "yet" instead of "now" as you navigate the present towards the future]]. ### Encouragement - "Employers are coming to me and saying, 'We've raised a generation of young workers who can't get through the day without an award'." - [[Praise process. Praise progress. Praise wisely.]] - "This 'process praise' raises kids who are hardy and resilient." - Reward (praise) effort, strategy and progress. - Cultivate engagement and strategic thinking by acknowledging efforts of self development and progress. ### Challenges - Practice engaging with challenges to develop the perseverance to endure ever greater challenges. - [[Do not pray for an easy life. Pray for the strength to endure a difficult one]]. - "Yet or not yet provides a path into the future that creates greater persistence". - Push yourself out of your comfort zone. [[Adapting to discomfort develops ability]]. - [[Discipline is doing something you hate like you love it]]. - [[Believe to achieve]]. ## Original ![[The power of believing that you can improve-1.jpg]] ![[The power of believing that you can improve-2.jpg]] ![[The power of believing that you can improve-3.jpg]]
