  "Why waste my time looking smart when I could be getting smarter."

  I always got told, that I'm a fast learner, so watching this video I realized why I fear bigger things, things that take a while to master. Like playing the guitar or drawing. Those things take time. You cannot master them within minutes or a day. So when I do not learn them fast, I feel like a loser, not good enough, demotivated by the task. Thank you for making me realizing that! Time to change that!

  This is truly timeless. I am watching the video 8 years later and everything she says is very much applicable in today’s world. Game changer of note 👏🏽🙌🏽

  Shame is 100% the root of children developing fixed mindsets, and adults inflicting them on their children. The most amazing thing is though that adults can switch right out of even a lifetime of shame induced fixed mindset beliefs if they are willing to trust the process and forgive those who, in their own hurt and shame, projected that onto them. Really amazing stuff!

  This really hit home for me. I always thought I had a growth mindset until I realized I avoid challenges where I might not look smart. The &apos;not yet&apos; concept is so powerful - it changes how I see failure now.

  I think that&apos;s what backfired for me.... I was a 1st ranker from grade 1 to grade 2 then came the downfall from grade 3 to grade 8...almost last ranker. &nbsp;slowly picked myself up from grade 9 to 12 and then finally became a 1st ranker again in college and university.<br>Even now, I cringe when people tell me oh... How smart you are, how knowledgeable, how talented... and whoosh, I go back into my shell...

  This message needs to get to all teachers as well as parents! Oh, and grandparents, too.

  Man, I do that emotional response when my children makes mistakes. It comes from the incredible drama (and smacking) mom provided whenever I made a mistake, no matter how small. It is good to know, so I can improve as a parent. Cheers!!

  She looks like a kind person. I want to get into Stanford just so I can be her student.
