Mastering easy skills will give you a fragile confidence that\u2019s readily shattered at the first sign of stress. Genuine confidence comes from overcoming genuine challenges, and by cultivating confidence is an important part of your growth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To become someone who regularly masters skills:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Cultivate a \u201cgrowth mindset.\u201d<\/li><li>Devote 10,000 hours to learning your skill.<\/li><li>Recognize the successes you\u2019ve already had.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cultivate a Growth Mindset<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To truly be open to the opportunities you\u2019ll find in your twenties, adopt a \u201cgrowth\u201d mindset, rather than a \u201cfixed\u201d mindset, to better equip yourself to get the most out of your challenges.&nbsp;&nbsp;This is how cultivating confidence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>People with <\/strong><strong><em>growth<\/em><\/strong><strong> mindsets believe that their own skills and talents are in a constant state of change, and can be improved with practice and knowledge.<\/strong> This attitude makes them view failures as opportunities to learn and grow. They approach challenges by working harder or trying new strategies, and are more likely to come out of a challenging situation with confidence and enthusiasm.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People with <em>fixed<\/em> mindsets see their own skills and talents as all-or-nothing propositions: they either have it or they don\u2019t. They\u2019re smart or they\u2019re stupid. This attitude leads them to avoid struggle, as struggle is a sign that they don\u2019t have \u201cit,\u201d whatever \u201cit\u201d is in that particular situation. People with fixed mindsets give up more quickly when challenged with difficult tasks and see challenges and failures with distress and shame.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People with growth mindsets react better to challenges and setbacks than do people with \u201cfixed\u201d mindsets and are better able to acquire new skills. They generally outperform people with fixed mindsets and have rosier outlooks on life and work.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: To learn <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-develop-a-growth-mindset\/\">how to develop a growth mindset<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/grit\">read our summary of <em>Grit<\/em><\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Devote 10,000 Hours to Learning Your Skill<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Research shows that the best predictor of a person\u2019s success is not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/what-is-deliberate-practice\/\">innate talent<\/a> but instead, the amount of time she invests in the endeavor. <strong>Consistently, across all kinds of industries from medicine to music, mastery of a skill comes after about 10,000 hours of dedicated practice. At 40 hours a week for 50 weeks a year, this means five years.<\/strong>&nbsp;This is also an important part of cultivating confidence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Often, twenty-somethings are unprepared for this truth, expecting to start a job and immediately be not only good at it but also openly appreciated for it. This disconnect between expectations and reality leads to anxiety and causes many twenty-somethings to abandon their pursuits too soon because they are discouraged by their lack of mastery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: For further exploration of skills development, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/grit\">read our summary of <em>Peak<\/em><\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Recognize the Successes You\u2019ve Already Had<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t discount the work you\u2019ve already put into a pursuit.
