Carol Dweck: the mindset of creativity - Creative Confidence #3
Carol Dweck, a psychology professor at Stanford, explored the mindset of freshman students at the University of Hong-Kong. Since all the classes and exams are in English, those who struggle with the English language are at a disadvantage.
Dweck asked them "If the faculty offered a course to improve English skills, would you take it?" She revealed: "Students with the growth mindset said an emphatic yes, while the others were not very interested."
Lesson:
A person's true potential is unknown. To achieve creative confidence, you have to believe that learning and growth are possible.
