Growth Mindset
Official Definition

The belief that abilities and intelligence can be developed through dedication and hard work.

What It Actually Means

If you failed, it's because you didn't believe in yourself hard enough.

Example Usage

"Let's approach this with a growth mindset." (Translation: The project failed but it's not a failure, it's a learning opportunity, which coincidentally doesn't require severance pay.)

Origin / Notes

From Carol Dweck's research, which was nuanced and interesting. Has been simplified into a corporate bumper sticker.
