Telling people to follow their passion suggests that passion will do the lion’s share of the work for you.

It. Will. Not.

We look at the effects of both fixed and growth mindsets and their impact on learning and curiosity.

Did you know Leonardo was an illegitimate child born during what scholars have called a ‘Golden Age’ for Bastards?

How did he fuel his curiosity? This was a man who believed ‘learning never exhausts the mind.’ That is to say he was always learning.
