Mindset is a mental attitude and perception. It`s how we set
our own mind and how our minds interpret things. We can see the meaning of mindset
in the example of a clock.
For example:
The actual time is 5 o’clock. Three groups are formed with
different time on their clock.
Group A – is a control group with the clock set as
the actual 5 o’clock which we will call as the ‘ordinary level’
Group B – is a group with the time set on their clock
at 4 o’clock. We will call them the ‘below ordinary level, and lastly
Group C – with their time set at 6 o’clock which we
will call the ‘above ordinary level’.
Imagine Group A will have to attend a meeting or a job
interview at 5 o’clock (actual time). They will be able to manage the time according
to what the ‘world’ is following.
Group B on the other hand will not be able to attend the
meeting or a job interview since their reference is one hour behind the common
people’s time. They will miss it should they plan according to their time.
Group C, though their time is set one hour ahead of the
actual will have ample of time arriving for the meeting or a job interview.
They perhaps can achieve more things and familiarize themselves with the surrounding
and prepare for more.
The same goes to our mindset. If we set our mind as the average
people, we will achieve as what the average people will and normal results. If
we set our mind below the average level we will possibly fail in whatever we
want to achieve. On the contrary, if we set our mind above the average level and
ahead of the people’s expectation, we can achieve more, creative and can easily
adapt to any changes.
This could be implemented in any group discussions or
motivational trainings if anyone would like to try the examples of having the
right mind set.
