As a result, they may plateau earlyand achieve less than their full potential.

All this confirms a deterministic view of the world. All this gives them a greater sense of free will.

As a result, they reach ever-higherlevels of achievement.


Psychologist Carol Dweck’s research on Growth Mindset suggests one word that can make all the difference in becoming the person you want to be: YET. Instead of saying, “I’m not good at that,” say, “I’m not good at that yet.” Replace “I don’t know how to do that,” with “I don’t know how to do that yet.” “Yet” opens your mind to what you can do and places you on a path to getting there. Once you’re mentally on the path, get to work! Study, practice relentlessly, get a mentor, ask for feedback, make corrections, and give it time.

1. What is one thing you want to do but haven’t because you thought, “I’m not good at that”?

2. Why is getting better at this thing important to you?

3. What will be challenging about this for you?
