Thank you.
Today I want to tell you about the power of "yet."
I learned in High School in Chicago where students had to pass eighty four unity to
graduate and if they didn't pass they got the grade "not yet."
I thought, isn't that wonderful?
Because if you fail you're nowhere but if you get the grade "not yet" you're on a learning
curve.
"Not yet" gave them a path into the future.
And "not yet" also helped me understand a critical experience early in my career.
To figure out how kids cope with challenge, I gave ten year olds some problems that were
a little too difficult for them.
Some of them reacted in a shockingly positive way.
They said things like, "I love a challenge!"
or "I was hoping this would be informative!"
They understood that their abilities could grow through their hard work.
They had what I would call a "growth mindset."
But for other children it was tragic, catastrophic from their more fixed mindset perspective
their core intelligence had been tested and devastated.
Instead of the power of "yet" they were gripped by the "tyranny of now."
So what did they do next?
