I interpret the message of “ yet” as to be patient, give myself some grace, and wait because my turn will soon come if I continue to work hard, take constructive criticism as a learning tool, apply my previous knowledge, and gain new knowledge. A growth mindset can change how I learn by embracing patience and practice. It will impact my approach by giving me self-motivation and that inner push to tackle challenges head-on. When exasperated or overwhelmed, I must shift my perspective to know what is possible. If I push through obstacles, my brain will only get stronger. The more I exercise my brain, the more connections between my previous and newly learned knowledge will be made.
The growth mindset has influenced me to ask for help and be open to criticism. In the video “Why it's time to forget the pecking order at work, “ it states, “ Helpfulness is the core to successful teams and outperforms individual intelligence” (Heffernan,2015). Although I am naturally introverted, I must be willing to accept all types of feedback from my team, colleagues, and administration to learn and develop my intelligence and growth.
