I recommend to read this book: "Mindset"



I started reading this book recommended by Kim, "Mindset" by Carol S. dweck, Ph.D.

Dweck has found that everyone has one of two basic mindsets. If you have the fixed mindset, you believe that your talents and abilities are set in stone - either you have them or you don't. You must prove yourself over and over, trying to look smart and talented at all costs. This is the path of stagnation. If you have a growth mindset, however, you know that talents can be developed and that great abilities are built over time. this is the path of opportunity and success.

I know for me I have a growth mindset most of the time. And I am continually growing. It never stops.

Have anyone read this book???
