This morning, I was bored and browsing LinkedIn, and I saw a picture posted by an angel investor that seemed very good and worth thinking about.
I converted it into text and recorded it here:
| Closed Mindset | Open Mindset |
|---|---|
| Encounters difficulties, pessimistic, discouraged, complains, easily gives up. | Encounters difficulties, optimistic, excited to face them as challenges, treats them as opportunities for learning and growth. |
| Encounters different opinions, first reaction is discomfort, then resistance and rejection. | Encounters different opinions, first reaction is to listen, then ask questions, consider from others' perspectives, understand the reasons for different opinions, improve if necessary. |
| Views on new things, insensitive, indifferent, choose to ignore, avoid, or remain indifferent. | Views on new things, full of curiosity, understand the truth, apply what is learned. |
| Feels good about oneself, too comfortable, overly confident in one's abilities, even a bit arrogant and complacent. | Maintains a sense of urgency, clearly recognizes one's shortcomings, strives to learn, constantly improve. |
| Always living in the past, resting on past glories and achievements, not interested, insensitive, or unwilling to learn about new technologies, new models, new scales, and new challenges. | Look more towards the future, every past experience, good or bad, has its own meaning and value. Look more towards the future, constantly improve oneself, challenge oneself, for a better future. |
