- 26. GROWTH MINDSET FIXED MINDSET Intelligence... can be improved with focused practise. can’t change as it’s what I’m born with. Effort... is how I improve. I love a challenge! shows a lack of intelligence. The easier, the better. Failure... is a stepping stone to success. Try again! is a disaster. Give up! Other people’s success... makes me happy and motivates me. makes me look stupid. Criticism... is a chance to improve. means I messed up. James Egerton www.jamesegerton.wordpress.com

- 37. A man (or woman!) in the arena, Theodore Roosevelt, 1910 The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
