Complaining About Lacking Talent Is Just an Excuse to Be Lazy.

Many of us have a "fixed mindset," in which we believe our lack of inborn talent limits us and prevents improvement. However, studies have shown that adopting a "growth mindset" can lead to development through hard work and seeing failures as opportunities for growth. Instead of focusing on innate talents, we should work hard to improve ourselves, even if we're not naturally gifted. Complaining about lacking intelligence or talent is just an excuse to be lazy. Take math as an example. In elementary school, many people who can't keep up with the class are labeled as "terrible at math." But in reality, everyone has the potential for mathematical ability. Numerous studies have shown that everybody has a "math brain" and that math skills can be acquired through learning and practice. And this growth mindset applies to developing other abilities as well. Isn't that exciting?

多くの人は生まれ持った才能がないから成長できないという「固定思考」を持っています。でも、「成長思考」を持つと、失敗を進歩のチャンスととらえ、努力することで実際に成長できるとわかっています。天賦の才にこだわらず、自分を高める努力をしましょう。頭が悪いとか才能がないとか嘆くのは、怠ける言い訳にすぎません。例えば算数。 小学校の算数の授業についていけないだけで「算数が苦手」と思い込みがちですが、 実はどんな人にも数学の能力を発揮するポテンシャルがあります。誰もが「数学脳」を持ち、数学のスキルは学習と訓練によって習得できるという研究結果がいくつもあるのです。「成長思考」は、他の能力にも当てはまります。ワクワクしてきませんか?
