Fellow Ghanaian, It is Time for You to Determine Your Mindset.

A. Do you have a FIXED MINDSET?

B. Do you have a GROWTH MINDSET?

1. You are a young adult, supposing one day, you go to a class that is really important to you and that you like a lot. Your lecturer returns the assignment papers to the class. You got a C+.

Question: What will be your reaction?

2. You are given scholarship to go and study in a foreign land. The course is to be run in Chinese and they have stated that all foreign students must learn Chinese first before they enrol. What will you do?

3. Your intelligence is something very basic about you that you can’t change very much.

4. You can learn new things, but you can’t really change how intelligent you are.

5. No matter how much intelligent you have, you can always change it quite a bit.

6. You can always substantially change how intelligent you are.

In each of the following statements, decide whether you mostly agree or mostly disagree with each one.

11. When do you feel smart?

Started Ghanamindset in 2011 purposely to help our Ghanaian society have a better view of appreciating that mediocrity has never built and develop any nation. We have this layback attitude that we always think,when something is going wrong, " I am not responsible to fix it". There are many instances that we could have applied common sense to tackle a situation but our laissez-faire attitude would let us walk past unconcerned.
