There is a quote by Buddha that stays:

                                                                   “What you think, you become.

                                            What you feel, you attract. What you imagine, you create.”

We should have confidence that we can make a difference, recognizing that we are born with certain natural intelligence, skills, and abilities that can develop and improve over time. these are the key points from book "Mindset," by psychologist Carol Dweck. In this blog, we will explore the power of a growth mindset and provide practical tips for developing and nurturing it.

First and foremost, let's examine the consequences of possessing a fixed mindset.

With a fixed mindset, we restrict our thinking and hinder the improvement of our abilities. For instance, if we hold a fixed mindset, we may believe that the only option to pay electricity bills is by standing in queues. However, adopting a growth mindset can introduce alternatives such as the online payment facility, which enhances convenience and flexibility.

Similarly, if we have a fixed mindset, we may believe that physically visiting a shop is the only way to make a purchase. However, adopting a growth mindset opens up possibilities such as online shopping, which offers convenience and a wider range of options.

1. In the picture below, individuals are depicted standing in a queue, indicating a traditional approach to a particular service or activity.

2. In contrast, below Pictureportrays an online service, highlighting a modern and convenient alternative toaccomplish the same task.

The intention is not to disregard or undermine traditional practices, but rather to explore additional options that can complement and supplement those traditions.

By cultivating a proactive mindset and embracing the willingness to think creatively, we can begin to explore potential solutions to various challenges. For instance,

if we tackle the issue of farm destruction caused by heavy rainfall, we might discover innovative methods and techniques to mitigate the impact.

However, this process requires a genuine love for thinking, pushing ourselves beyond our limits, and being prepared to encounter failures along the way. It is through these efforts that we can uncover effective solutions and make meaningful progress.

Conclusion:

This is where Developing a growth mindset help us continuously grow and overcome obstacles for upcoming generations. Nowadays, thanks to the invention of telephones, we have the ability to communicate and have conversations from long distances but to make this a reality :
