A growth mindset is one where an individual sees character, intelligence, and abilities as always developing and evolving. Unlike the fixed mindset, a growth mindset doesn't compel you to constantly prove yourself because you know that you can change and grow with experience and practice. Your qualities aren't fixed. It doesn't matter if others see that you lack perfect qualities, because all of us are always growing and learning. A key element in success in any field is the willingness and desire to learn new things and grow, and the acceptance of change. This is why a growth mindset is strongly associated with success.
