1 month ago Reflecting on this powerful speech, I realise that I have a fixed mindset when it comes to tackling challenging programming tasks or advancing in my career. There are moments when I feel overwhelmed by the difficulty of certain projects or the competitiveness of the industry, and instead of embracing the opportunity to learn and grow, I find myself succumbing to self-doubt and fear of failure.
For instance, when confronted with a complex coding problem or when aiming for career advancement, I sometimes feel as though my abilities are fixed and cannot be improved upon. This mindset not only limits my potential but also hinders my progress and fulfilment in both my academic and professional endeavours.
I recognise the importance of adopting a growth mindset, where I understand that my skills and intelligence can be developed through dedication, effort, and perseverance. Therefore, I am reaching out to my cohort for guidance and support in changing my mindset.
How do you approach challenges and setbacks in your programming journey or career? What strategies do you employ to cultivate a growth mindset and overcome obstacles with resilience and determination? Any advice or insights you can offer would be greatly appreciated as I strive to shift my perspective and embrace the power of "yet."
Additionally, I am committed to providing support and encouragement to my peers on their own journeys towards a growth mindset. If anyone would like to share their experiences or seek assistance, please feel free to reach out. Together, we can empower each other to reach our full potential and achieve success in our chosen fields.
Thank you for your support and guidance.
