I was reflecting on the idea of energy moving from commodity to technology.
The key difference is that technology just keeps getting better over time.
This, in a simple sentence, is what electrification has done to cars. Cars have become technology. Their software keeps getting better – every year. And, with every iteration, the battery technology becomes better, safer, and more performant. All those marginal gains add up.
It is interesting to apply this analogy to our mindset. When we have a fixed mindset, we behave like commodities. We are who we are – extracted and fixed.
However, when we have a growth mindset, we behave like technology. We just keep getting better and keep bending that learning curve – constantly aggregating marginal gain after marginal gain and letting them compound to make a game-changing difference over time.
