El fin.

I was reminded this week about one of my favorite books that I read during my M.A.T. program and that is "Growth Mindset" by Dr. Carol Dweck.  In the book, Dr. Dweck outlines that human beings have a fixed mindset that they can't or won't do something.  The idea of success is instead an idea of being defeated.
