No Limits: The Art and Science of High Performance

by Mukesh Bansal

The importance of mindset can’t be emphasised enough when it comes to optimising one’s performance and impact, especially over a long period of time. Mindset is what enables us to look at things constructively, venture out of our comfort zone, take failure in our stride and doggedly pursue what we earnestly desire—through thick and thin. Similarly, fixed mindsets hold people back, sometimes for life. Opportunities just keep slipping by as they rest on their laurels and don’t risk much, lest their reputation as a talented person or a winner gets tainted, and hence learning comes to a halt until they are left behind and completely out of the game. By now, you must be convinced about the importance of the growth mindset and will have some sense of what kind of mindset you bring to your game.
