Read together

There once was a little seed,
With a mindset that couldn't proceed.
It had a fixed mindset, you see,
And thought it could never be.

But then it learned of growth,
And how it could take both
A specific and realistic goal,
And make it attainable, as a whole.

It found ways to measure progress,
And realized that success
Could come with a growth mindset,
And with determination, it could be met.

Now that little seed has grown,
And its potential has been shown.
It's all thanks to the power of the mind,
And a growth mindset, that's one of a kind.

Talk about it
