Talent Growth Mindset


Hard work grows talent.  Having taught for over 50 years it is my experience that natural talent doesn't cut it long term. Those who succeed keep learning and improving. I loved this graphic because it is a good guideline for success. Stay on the green side as much as possible.

One of the things that has resulted from moving lessons online is that we have to listen so carefully to each other. I feel that my personal intonation has improved because even though I am far from perfect I am listening much more attentively.  Listening skills are huge in life because we have a big advantage when we can understand each other.

From an article on mental strength:
"A willingness to develop realistic expectations and an understanding that success doesn't happen overnight is necessary if you want to reach your full potential," Amy Morin wrote. She has a book on 13 things mentally strong people don't do. 
It's important to "keep your eyes on the prize" and relentlessly work toward your long-term goals, she said. There will be failures along the way, but if you measure your progress and look at the big picture, success will become attainable.” 
The key is to "affirm the good in the world, and you will begin to appreciate what you have," she wrote. Her post is at https://www.success.com/13-things-mentally-strong-people-dont-do/
