Why Mindset Matters More Than IQ

In this video I talk about the fixed vs the growth mindset, and why mindset can be more important for reaching goals than your IQ or other inherent characteristics. Many people live their lives thinking that their ability to succeed is inherent, and that they can't change their trajectory. I explore how emotional intelligence might have a bigger impact on peoples lives than they think.

"Most of us are just average people, trying to do some big things."

"Don't feel less intelligent than the next person, don't feel more intelligent than the next person."


A mindset to just keep on pursuing your set goals without having to be too attached to the failure/success that comes with it, it keeps us grounded.


Great, great advice Sir Anas!

Will definitely sub!

[lavinia]

what I've believed in since sixth form when the teachers told me I wasn't smart enough. Only motivated me to study harder :) so glad I found your videos

[mohammedelsharief]

I've onced heard that " there's no problem so bad you can't make it worse" but you made me rethink it all, " there's nothing so bad you can't make it better", my prospective changed in seconds, thanks bro and may Allah brightens your way.

I’ve come back to this video so many times, and I can honestly say in the past 4 years I’ve overcome so many obstacles, this video I feel like resonates subconsciously and I haven’t stopped chasing the growth mindset since, it’s HARD but goddamn do I feel fulfilled

[swaransingh]

I wish I found your channel earlier- you make revision notes and student life seem fun unlike actual people deem it to be- Keep it up- you inspire us students to better and push away from bad influence g. Got a levels in about a month- working hard 2-4 hours a day sometimes 5 - final push now- wish I did 30 mins every subject a day since year one and made learning fun and not a chore- the reward of uni and studying somewhere you want to doing something you want to do with more free time is so worth it

I agree about the mindset thing but I think a little bit of intelligence is still crucial

Bottom line : Focus on the process
Not the outcome

[nadiirad]

Feeling indifferent to educational out comes is quite challenging, not getting too happy with a great grade and not getting sad about a low grade it’s difficult, I’m trying to detach myself from that, feeling indifferent is useful in other areas of life is useful, like when you don’t get the job you really wanted, or when a Friendship ends, feeling certain emotions to certain situations is almost like an instinct it is hard to detach but it is very useful if you can manage it
