Malcolm X:

 Education is a passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today .

Malcolm X showed growth mindset in a era where fixed mindset was not only unpopular, but unfortunately the legal standard for our African- American forefathers.  Malcolm , born Malcolm Little , had a tough childhood  being raised in a large household with a father who strived on having a growth mindset even if it cost him physical harm . That upbringing maintained in Malcolm's mind throughout his life. When Malcolm joined the Nation of Islam while incarcerated , the idea of continued growth mindset was also implanted into his continued mental evolution.

Even though Malcolm did not complete educational studies , he continued to stress the importance of higher education and completion of tasks.  Malcolm's balance of fixed mindset vs growth mindset showed me that with the right inspiration anything can be achieved if you are willing to complete the task "by any means necessary"

                     Metacognition   

Oprah Winfrey is a billionaire philanthropist, media executive, actress, talk show host, author, co-host, and news anchor. She is known for being the host of her own and popular program, The Oprah Winfrey Show, which aired for 25 seasons, from 1986 to 2011. In 2011, she launched her own TV network, the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN). Oprah Gail Winfrey was born on January 29, 1954, in Mississippi. Oprah had a very troubled youth, living with her mother. So, she decided to move with her father at the age of 14, in Nashville, Tennessee. He was a significant role model and under his strict guidelines Oprah Winfrey had her a-ha moment when a lightbulb came on in her head. She realized it was when she figured out that her thoughts control her whole life—that no matter what hand life deals her. She can always choose my response to it. We are each responsible for our lives and, more important, the thoughts that create them. If you want your life to be more rewarding, you must change the way you think. Then on she lived her life to think bigger and better.
