Experiment and Experience - BYU Devotional

Experiment and Experience

From a BYU Devotional by Jennifer B. Nielson:
Dweck has proposed that there are two basic mind-sets: a growth mind-set and a fixed mind-set.11 The assumption of those with a growth mind-set is that intelligence, creativity, artistic ability, or other traits are flexible, not frozen, and that they can increase with continual practice. The assumption of those with a fixed mind-set is that traits are inherent and cannot be changed.

Gratitude


Mosiah 24:21:
"Yea, and in the valley of Alma they poured out their thanks to God because he had been merciful unto them, and eased their burdens, and had delivered them out of bondage; for they were in bondage, and none could deliver them except it were the Lord their God."
Brigham Young said, "I do not know of any, excepting the unpardonable sin, that is greater than the sin of ingratitude." 

President Thomas S. Monson has said, "If ingratitude be numbered among the serious sins, then gratitude takes its place among the noblest of virtues."
