Dear Blanka, thank you for your comments and question. I understand growth mindset and positive thinking as different concepts. “Positive thinking” is when we believe that things are going to be all right. “Growth mindset” is when we believe we can learn, not necessarily achieving the objectives we have. So it’s not about having a strong belief in our abilities, but in our capacity to learn. It’s about accepting oneself despite past experiences, but believing that changing is possible. Thus, I understand that they are different concepts. Regards, Sandra
