Week 11EC: Growth Mindset: Secret to Thriving

Apparently, the secret to thriving is to have a sense of development and that you are working towards something. This seems rather self explanatory, but to some it may not be, especially if you are stuck in a rut and cannot see any optimism. Some important things to have are a sense of spirituality, challenging opportunities, and being socially competent.
