Article: Debunking the Genius Myth

One of the keys to developing a growth mindset is not just believing, but feeling with every cell of your body that you are a growing, evolving person and that choices you make today will affect the person you are tomorrow. A fixed mindset would have us believe that we either ARE or we AREN'T--you are either a genius or you are not, for example. In that model, there's no room for hard work or for setbacks and definitely no reason to take the risk of looking "not smart."

In the article "Debunking the Genius Myth" from MindShift, the author does an excellent job of tackling the genius myth in particular, and puts it in context of the growth mindset.

Enjoy!
