Developing Self-Efficacy

“Grit rests on the expectation that our own efforts can improve our future.”
– Angela Duckworth

“In the fixed mindset, everything is about the outcome. If you fail—or if you’re not the best—it’s all been wasted. The growth mindset allows people to value what they’re doing regardless of the outcome . They’re tackling problems, charting new courses, working on important issues.”
– Carol Dweck
