Growth Mindset: The Power of Yet
People with a fixed mindset believe talent is innate. People with a growth mindset believe talent can be developed. 'I can't do it... YET.'

Neuroplasticity
The brain is muscle-like. It changes with experience. Failure is not a reflection of your ontology ("I am stupid"); it is feedback for your process ("I need to try a different strategy").
Praising Effort
Do not praise intelligence ("You are so smart"). Praise effort ("You worked really hard"). Praising intelligence creates a fixed mindset and fear of failure.
