1. GROWTH ORIENTATION AND MOTIVATION

Seek feedback. Welcome feedback, and especially

constructive negative feedback as opportunity for

growth and understanding areas of improvement and
growth opportunities.

Remember that practice is the best of all instructors.

Skills and abilities are developed through practice,
effort, and strategies.

Surround yourself with individuals who have a growth-
oriented mindset and support your aspirations and

motivation for growth.

Learn from failure. Accept failure as a natural part of
your learning process. When you fail, calm your

emotions and dissect the failure in a way that you can
fully understand the process that led to it and how you

could have achieved alternative result by doing things
differently or if you had different level of knowledge or

skills.
