Mindset
Read a great book called Mindset, the New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck. The book rekindles many coaching concepts that have been using by coaches. Mindset determines the success of many endeavors that at first appear in futile but by having a growth mindset helps people to tackle these futile hard works as learning experiences. According to Carol, parents usually over praise their children performance and brilliance and ignore praising their efforts and hard works that contribute to the successes. As a result, children feel gifted are not willing to try again after failing. There's one misconception that if they're so brilliant they wouldn't have to do things many times. By continue trying signals they're not that brilliant after all. That's one of the resaons many children don't want to try again and again after failing. But the truth of the matter is the mentality of continue trying and putting efforts is the key to most successes, not the sudden brilliance.
