I had not heard of the Growth Mindset before today. Carol Dweck has created this philosophy, and I had applied it in my own life at points, but never under the term "Growth Mindset". I love the thinking behind it. In the first video she told a story about high schools giving students the grade of "Not yet". It is really a positive way of thinking. In general, they promoted a mindset of positive thinking. They encourage embracing challenges, and viewing it as an opportunity to make themselves better. I truly admire this line of thinking because beyond the education, there are a number of places in life that it can be applied to. Carol Dweck mentioned the same sentiment during her first video.
I think we should apply this to our lives. Obviously there is a time for brutal honesty and facing the facts, but in general I think it applies.
The video inspired me to take on the growth mindset again. I feel like I used to have it, but it has faded over time.
