Let’s be real—learning is frustrating sometimes. You might fail a test. You might lose a competition. You might feel like you’ll never catch up to others. But failure isn’t a stop sign—it’s a stepping stone.
Every time you push through a challenge, you’re building skills for life. Whether it’s academics, sports, music, leadership, or anything else, a growth mindset will help you improve faster, handle failure better, and achieve things you never thought possible.
So here’s my challenge to all of you.
Next time you struggle, don’t say, “I can’t do this.” Say, “I can’t do this YET.” Instead of seeing effort as a sign of weakness, see it as a sign of strength. When you see someone doing better than you, don’t think, “I’ll never be as good as them.” Instead, ask, “What can I learn from them?”
Growth mindset isn’t just about school—it’s about life. It’s about believing that your abilities are not set in stone. That every setback is just setting you up for a comeback. That you are capable of more than you think.
As we raise our national flag today, think about what it stands for—progress, perseverance, and the belief that we can always be better than we were yesterday.
So don’t limit yourself with the idea that your abilities are fixed. Instead, take every challenge as a chance to grow, improve, and become the best version of yourself.

让我们面对现实吧——学习有时候确实很沮丧。你可能会考得不好，可能会在比赛中失败，可能会觉得自己永远赶不上别人。但失败不是终点，它是一个垫脚石。
每一次你克服挑战，你都在为未来积累技能。无论是在学术、体育、音乐、领导力还是其他任何方面，成长型思维都会帮助你更快进步，更好地应对失败，取得你从未想过的成就。
下次你遇到困难时，不要说：“我做不到。”而是说：“我现在做不到。”不要把努力看作是弱点，而是把它看作是力量的象征。当你看到别人做得比你更好时，不要想“我永远也赶不上他们。”相反，问问自己：“我能从他们身上学到什么？”
成长型思维不仅仅是关于学校的，它是关于生活的。它是关于相信自己的能力不是固定不变的。每一次的挫折只是为你的反弹铺路。你比你想象的更加优秀。
今天，当我们升起国旗时，想一想它所代表的意义——进步、坚持和相信我们总是能比昨天更好。
所以，不要用“自己的能力是固定的”这种观念来限制自己。相反，把每一个挑战当作一个成长、提升、成为最好自己的机会。
