A favorite quote: Carol Dweck

A favorite quote from Carol Dweck, author of Mindset:  the New Psychology of Success:

"It's tempting to create a world in which we're perfect.  (Ah, I remember that feeling from grade school.)  we can choose partners, make friends, hire people who make us feel faultless.  But think about it - do you want to never grow?  Next time you're tempted to surround yourself with worshipers, go to church.  In the rest of your life, seek constructive criticism."
