Mindset
from Mtu ni Watu - Podcast Hosted by Julius Okumu
Mindsets are fundamental convictions shaping our perceptions of ourselves and our inherent capacities. These convictions fall into two categories: fixed and growth mindsets. Those with a fixed mindset tend to view their essential qualities, such as intelligence or talent, as static traits. Conversely, individuals embracing a growth mindset believe that their fundamental abilities can evolve through perseverance and dedication. Mindsets are not merely abstract beliefs; they profoundly influence our responses and inclinations, serving various cognitive functions within our minds.
