Thomas Edison had a growth mindset—and he understood that failure is a big part of the creative process. Here's why.
Although we all experience failure in our lives, we don’t all react to it in the same way. Some of us embrace the concept of failure as a way of re-focusing and re-shaping our thinking. Others react to it by curling up into a little ball and shutting themselves off from the rest of the world. There is considerable evidence to support the notion that some people embrace failure while others shun it at every conceivable opportunity. To some, failure is good; to others, it is bad.
Psychologist Carol Dweck has studied these kinds of mental sets extensively and provides clinical evidence that most people intentionally place themselves in one of those two groups. Dweck said that the group to which you have assigned yourself frequently determines how to react to any intellectual challenges.
