Mindset

Read it. You won't regret it.

Moral of the story: If you want your kids (or students) to be smart and talented, do not tell them that they are smart and talented. Instead, tell them how great it is that they're working so hard to accomplish something difficult.

Smart and talented people can be lazy, because they just are that awesome.

Oops, too late. Oh well, they turned out to be both. (smart and talented and hard-working)
