Understanding the principles have its benefits for people and listed below as what I think.
Engaging on principles will benefit me by being more productive in anything I do. Easier for me to learn another skill as I am familiar of what and how I get to learn. I will have an open mind to learning. I will be having a growth mindset. Finding ways to solve a problem.
Individuals who believe their talents can be developed (through hard work, good strategies, and input from others)
This will be relevant as we journey to learning web development. We need to have a good strategy on our learning capabilities, practice on what we learn and embrace feedback from others.
No. In my IT career, learning is constant. Feedback from customers is vital to either continue or improve service provided and hardwork to accomplish things.
By learning through reading, going to meet-ups, participate in related events, have break and fun when stuck on something, provide and absorb feedbacks and practise practise practise.
Before when I just finished my degree course and started on my first employment. I realised that school education is not the end of learning, but it is where you are being prepared on how to become resourceful and find ways to learn. During my first employment, that was the time I learned to have growth mindset. Back then, I didn't know what it is.
I was in a new enviroment, no knowledge of the technology that I will be using, new colleagues and time schedule. All of these changes for me was very hard. But I prepared myself to learn, to adjust and to be reselient. I formulate my learning strategy, but back then, my strategy was not always working for me. I use to improvise and/or change it and that makes me flexible. I read books a lot about the technology I am using, researched and practised a lot. Time was not always friendly however, it has all worked for me, that's because of the hard work that I have been through.
Feedbacks helped me to get through as well. It helps shape my strategy and as a result, I was able to deliver what was required by the company for a short span of time.

The 'One Hour Rule' I Use on Days When Mental Illness Makes It Hard to Get Out of Bed
I tell myself: Just try.  If it doesn’t work, and in an hour you feel worse, then you can go back to bed.5 And sometimes, I will. And that’s OK. But I make myself try. Try to taste the day. I don’t have to
like it, I just have to do it.

I'm an ex-junkie, ex-drug dealer; I'm someone who is not quite your average
twenty-two year old (unless the ones you hang around have chemical dependencies
and a death wish, anyway). When you're a part of the underbelly of a city,
you end up with some rather
interesting stories. I've decided to
share them with you. Check out a
draft chapter
here, to see what you're getting into, and I'm getting out of.
Psst. Hey, you. Worried about being spammed? Don't be, we promise that your details
are safe with us: they won't be sold on to third parties, and you can opt out
of receiving anything at any time!
