Short YouTube transcript by TJ Walker explaining the concept of a growth mindset: the belief that personal abilities can improve through effort, learning new skills, and empowering others. Walker contrasts growth mindset with blind optimism and gives personal physical-exercise examples to illustrate measurable growth over time.
Do you have a growth mindset? That's something that's being talked about a lot these days. And it's not just blind optimism. Everything's going to work out, everything's fine. No, but it is about you growing in some way and expecting others to grow and empowering others as well. Now, I'm not going to grow more hair out of my head anytime soon, but I actually am growing stronger. I did 40 push ups this morning, 10 pull ups this morning. Two months ago, I could only do eight pull ups and 35 push ups. You could also grow with your mind. You can learn a new skill. You can help others learn new skills. Where you are today does not determine where you will be tomorrow. That's the growth mindset.
