 What is success?💯💯✔️✔️👍👍

Finding #1: 

Those with the growth mindset found success in doing their best, in
learning and improving. And this is exactly what we find in the champions.
“ For me the joy of athletics has never resided in winning,”. 
Kersee tells us, “…I derive just as much happiness from the process as from the
results. I don’t mind losing as long as I see improvement or I feel I’ve done as
well as I possibly could. If I lose, I just go back to the track and work some
more.”

This idea—that personal success is when you work your hardest to become

your best—was central to John Wooden’s life. In fact, he says, “there were

many, many games that gave me as much pleasure as any of the ten national

championship games we won, simply because we prepared fully and played near

our highest level of ability.”

Tiger Woods and Mia Hamm are two of the fiercest competitors who ever

lived. They love to win, but what counted most for them is the effort they made

even when they didn’t win. They could be proud of that. McEnroe and Beane

could not.

After the ’98 Masters tournament, Woods was disappointed that he did not

repeat his win of the previous year, but he felt good about his top-ten finish: “I

squeezed the towel dry this week. I’m very proud of the way I hung in there.” Or

after a British Open, where he finished third: “Sometimes you get even more

satisfaction out of creating a score when things aren’t completely perfect, when

you’re not feeling so well about your swing.”

Tiger is a hugely ambitious man. He wants to be the best, even the best ever.

“But the best me—that’s a little more important.”

Mia Hamm tells us, “After every game or practice, if you walk off the field

knowing that you gave everything you had, you will always be a winner.” Why

did the country fall in love with her team? “ They saw that we truly love what

we do and that we gave everything we had to each other and to each game.”

For those with the fixed mindset, success is about establishing their

superiority, pure and simple. Being that somebody who is worthier than the

nobodies. “ There was a time—I’ll admit it,” McEnroe says, “when my head was

so big it could barely fit through the door.” Where’s the talk about effort and

personal best? There is none. “ Some people don’t want to rehearse; they just

want to perform. Other people want to practice a hundred times first. I’m in the

former group.” Remember, in the fixed mindset, effort is not a cause for pride. It

is something that casts doubt on your talent.

What is failure??👈👎👎

Finding #2: Those with the growth mindset found setbacks motivating. They’re

informative. They’re a wake-up call.

Only once did Michael Jordan try to coast. It was the year he returned to the Bulls after his stint in baseball, and he learned his lesson. The Bulls were

eliminated in the play-offs. “ You can’t leave and think you can come back and

dominate this game. I will be physically and mentally prepared from now on.”

Truer words are rarely spoken. The Bulls won the NBA title the next three years.

Michael Jordan embraced his failures. In fact, in one of his favorite ads for

Nike, he says: “I’ve missed more than nine thousand shots. I’ve lost almost three

hundred games. Twenty-six times, I’ve been trusted to take the game-winning

shot, and missed.” You can be sure that each time, he went back and practiced

the shot a hundred times.

Here’s how Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the great basketball player, reacted when

college basketball outlawed his signature shot, the dunk (later reinstated). Many

thought that would stop his ascent to greatness. Instead, he worked twice as hard

on developing other shots: his bank shot off the glass, his skyhook, and his

turnaround jumper. He had absorbed the growth mindset from Coach Wooden,

and put it to good use.

In the fixed mindset, setbacks label you.

John McEnroe could never stand the thought of losing. Even worse was the

thought of losing to someone who was a friend or relative. That would make him

less special. For example, he hoped desperately for his best friend, Peter, to lose

in the finals at Maui after Peter had beaten him in an earlier round. He wanted it

so badly he couldn’t watch the match. Another time, he played his brother

Patrick in a finals in Chicago, and said to himself, “ God, if I lose to Patrick,

that’s it. I’m jumping off the Sears tower.”

Here’s how failure motivated him. In 1979, he played mixed doubles at

Wimbledon. He didn’t play mixed doubles again for twenty years. Why? He and

his partner lost in three straight sets. Plus, McEnroe lost his serve twice, while

no one else lost theirs even once. “That was the ultimate embarrassment. I said,

‘That’s it. I’m never playing again. I can’t handle this.’ ”

In 1981, McEnroe bought a beautiful black Les Paul guitar. That week, he

went to see Buddy Guy play at the Checkerboard Lounge in Chicago. Instead of

feeling inspired to take lessons or practice, McEnroe went home and smashed

his guitar to pieces.

Here’s how failure motivated Sergio Garcia, another golden boy with mindset

issues. Garcia had taken the golf world by storm with his great shots and his

charming, boyish ways; he seemed like a younger Tiger. But when his

performance took a dive, so did his charm. He fired caddie after caddie, blaming them for everything that went wrong. He once blamed his shoe when he slipped

and missed a shot. To punish the shoe, he threw it and kicked it. Unfortunately,

he almost hit an official. These are the ingenious remedies for failure in the fixed

mindset.
