― Carol S. Dweck, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success

“Why waste time proving over and over how great you are, when you could be getting better? Why hide deficiencies instead of overcoming them?

This is the mindset that allows people to thrive during some of the most challenging times in their lives.”
