Firstly, recognizing **growth-oriented intentions** in instructors and fellow students can foster a "learning mindset," which is crucial for motivation. When an instructor subtly demonstrates the intention to help students improve ("What's a dream you've put on hold? How can I support it?”), it can reframe challenges as growth opportunities. This aligns with the idea of asking growth-oriented questions like “What lesson is this teaching me?” discussed in our conversation history [Conversation history, 7]. By perceiving the instructor's intention to facilitate learning, students may be more motivated to embrace setbacks as "data points for improvement rather than failures".
