Growth Mindset: Mantras and Mottos

This is one of my favorite quotes and it is something I relate to/use a lot. You only get out, what you put into it. 

Source: Don't expect more until you do more.

I like this quote because it shows that if you only put in 50% in something you do (such as an assignment or studying for a test), you will only get that much out of it. Of course, there are those times you will get lucky and end up getting a high score on a quiz or test you barely studied for, but then again, what are you really gaining if you haven't learned anything?

Similarly, I like to use this when I lead a group (ex. Camp Crimson, Big Event, Soonerthon, etc.). I always say to my group: you only get out what you put into it, so if you give it your all and are engaged the whole time, I'm sure you'll love it!
