Which of these mindsets best characterizes your outlook when you first wake up? I'm going to do an excellent job. Alternatively, I'll work harder at my job. You should strive for a get-better mindset for the sake of your profession.

Someone who has a positive attitude strives to show that they are capable. They are not concerned with how to improve, but rather with being successful. It irritates them when others succeed while they fail. Someone with a get-better mentality, on the other hand, will perceive someone with superior skills as an opportunity to learn and acquire new skills, which they are always on the lookout for.

In truth, the person who wants to improve does not compare themselves to others. Instead, they assess their progress by comparing their current work to their previous work. The get-better person manages failures effectively, doesn't give up and sees problems as just another opportunity for progress as they are focused on learning and improving.

Don't be discouraged if you tend to approach the job with a positive attitude. The brain is extremely malleable, and it may be taught to develop better routines at any time. How?

First and foremost, don't be hesitant to make errors. Several studies have shown that persons who openly accept the chance of making a mistake are much less inclined to make one. In reality, by allowing yourself to make mistakes, you are training yourself to detect and correct them when they occur.

Another good habit to develop is not being hesitant to ask for assistance. After all, you won't be able to progress or learn unless you confess you need assistance and enable someone else to teach you. If you're worried about sounding stupid, don't be. When you call for assistance, studies show that the one you ask sees you as being more competent, not less.
