"Finding #2: Those with the growth mindset found setbacks motivating. They're informative. They're a wake-up call"
When I read this I laughed out loud. I always thought it was logical and normal to learn from bad experiences in life instead of letting them take you down. But then I remembered a lot of people either have not the common sense, or haven't been taught to think that way about life. And what I observe is the mindset of "If it doesn't go my way I'm giving up" and I think that's a stigma plaguing our generation. A lot of mainstream music says screw the world if things aren't going perfectly. And it should really be the contrary, to be thankful that you have the opportunity to use bad experiences to enrich the future for the better.
What stops our culture from cultivating this mindset?
