While people have tended to overdo "the growth mindset" it is really
useful to recognize that you can learn most things if you want or
need to, and that there is skill in searching out and selecting
good learning materials (whether online courses, asking friends,
reading intro sections of science papers, or going to school). That
includes organising what one does, understanding how one learns and
one's quirks, and a sense of what knowledge is out there.<br>
<br>
I also tend to laud learning "root" skills that help a lot of
domains: math, statistics, programming, simulation, history,
economics, psychology, etc.<br>
