Mindset Matters

I've seen a couple of different versions of this diagram floating around social media in the past couple of weeks. I don't know to whom to attribute it, but there is some truth in it just as there is some truth in the statement that we cannot control our circumstances, but we can control how we respond. Both the diagram and the aphorism can represent an overly simplistic response to oftentimes complex situations, but they are also both indicative of a growth mindset.

— Nelson Mandela.
