- Displaying an extraordinary growth mindset:
This is so hard! How wonderful! I love a challenge.
- Delighting in accurate criticism:
“I’m thrilled this person is telling me this bad thing that I do. I’m glad I know this now because I can watch out for it in the future.”
- Happily turning lemons into lemonade:
When it’s raining the morning you’ve decided to go jogging:
“Oh good! It’s raining! I get to develop my willpower as well as my body!”
(this example is from Stephen Covey’s book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, p 291)
- Valuing the differences:
“Good! You see it differently. Help me see what you see.”
(this example is from Stephen Covey’s book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, p 278)
