Lesson Seven: Growth mind-set
Growth mind-set is understanding the importance of struggling. Struggling means that you are working hard in order to achieve something. We’re not always successful first time round but it’s about persevering and never giving up despite how challenging something might be. It’s important not to compare yourself to others but to focus on your own achievements and your own next steps.
