No one is self-made - Gary Keller

the key to success isn’t in all the things we do but in the handful of things we do well.

Dweck’s work with children revealed two mindsets in action — a “growth” mindset that generally thinks big and seeks growth and a “fixed” mindset that places artificial limits and avoids failure. Growth-minded students, as she calls them, employ better learning strategies, experience less helplessness, exhibit more positive effort, and achieve more in the classroom than their fixed-minded peers. They are less likely to place limits on their lives and more likely to reach for their potential. Dweck points out that mindsets can and do change. Like any other habit, you set your mind to it until the right mindset becomes routine.

The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook.” — William James
