1. Size of mindset
- A small mindset = closed, fixed, limited thinking. These people resist change, avoid challenges, and recycle old information.
- A large mindset = open, growth-oriented, curious. These people welcome challenges, ask questions, and actively seek new knowledge.
👉 The size of mindset determines how much “resource” (knowledge, wisdom, opportunities) you can absorb. A small vessel cannot hold a river.
2. Size in extracting new information
- Small information capacity → You filter new knowledge only through what you already know. This limits growth.
- Large information capacity → You connect new ideas across subjects, accept multiple perspectives, and expand your mental database.
3. Analogy (Plant roots)
Think of a plant:
- A plant with shallow roots = takes only surface nutrients, struggles in drought.
- A plant with deep, widespread roots = extracts water and minerals even in scarcity, survives longer.
🌱 The “root system” here = your mindset. A bigger mindset allows you to extract deeper and diverse knowledge.
4. Why size matters here
- Small mindset → Protects comfort zone but blocks growth.
- Large mindset → Attracts, absorbs, and integrates new information—like a bigger sponge.
