Get your brain in motion
I’ve missed over 9,000 shots in my career.
I’ve lost almost 300 games.
26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed.
I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life.
And that is why I succeed – Michael Jordan

Movies can be an important source of inspiration and motivation.
In this article, John Rampton has selected 10 movies which can teach us some useful lessons for work as well as private life.
Among them:
– “The social network” which shows the importance of flexibility and resilience
– “Citizen Kane” by Orson Welles which stresses what is really important in life
– “The pursuit of happiness” which highlights that passion and sacrifice are parts of success
– “Jerry Maguire” which pushes us to believe in our dreams and follow them.

Motivation is everything. You can do the work of two people, but you can’t be two people. Instead, you have to inspire the next guy down the line and get him to inspire his people.

Which ‘mindset’ do you possess? ‘Mindset’ is a simple idea discovered by Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck in decades of research on achievement and success, a simple idea that makes all the difference.
According to Carol Dweck everyone has either a fixed mindset or a growth mindset. A fixed mindset is one in which you view your talents and abilities as ‘fixed’. In other words, you are who you are, your intelligence and talents are fixed, and your fate is to go through life avoiding challenge and failure. A growth mindset, on the other hand, is one in which you view life as a series of challenges and opportunities for improving and you see yourself as fluid, as a work in progress.
The good news is that mindsets are not ‘set’ and we can cultivate a growth mindset to achieve success and happiness. At any time, we can learn to open our mind to develop our ability to learn new things across a broad range of skills. The more we learn, the more our brain grows and can learn more easily.
In this TEDx talk Eduardo Briceno, co-Founder and CEO of Mindset Works, explains the principles.
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader. John Quincy Adams
