“When you enter a mindset, you enter a new world. In one world (the world of fixed traits)Â success is about proving youâ€™re smart or talented. Validating yourself. In the other (the world of changing qualities)Â itâ€™s about stretching yourself to learn something new. Developing yourself.”

“All mental discipline and symmetrical growth are from activity of the mind under the yoke of the will or personal power.”
