== Magananimity as a Christian virtue ==
''See also:'' [[Courage]] and [[Mental toughness]] and [[Psychological resilience]]
The article ''The Manly Virtue of Magnanimity'' notes:
{{Cquote|The title of this article calls magnanimity a “manly virtue.” By that, I don’t mean that magnanimity is unique to men or that women are not also called to this trait. After all, Witherspoon calls it a Christian virtue. But I do think magnanimity is a virtue particularly befitting to manhood, and that manhood bereft of magnanimity is especially lamentable. When the [[Apostle Paul]] enjoined the Corinthians to be strong, to stand firm in the faith, and to “act like men” (1 Corinthians 16:13), he was calling men and women to courage, but he was also embracing the notion that fortitude in the face of opposition is what we associate with manliness.
According to Witherspoon, magnanimity entails five commitments: (1) attempting great and difficult things, (2) aspiring after great and valuable possessions, (3) facing dangers with resolution, (4) struggling against difficulties with perseverance, and (5) bearing sufferings with fortitude and patience. In short, the magnanimous Christian is eager to attempt great things and willing to endure great hardships.<ref>[https://clearlyreformed.org/the-manly-virtue-of-magnanimity/ ''The Manly Virtue of Magnanimity'']</ref>}}
== Proper balance between action orientation and state orientation ==
[[File:Action orientation.jpg|thumbnail|300px|right|The processes involved in the transformation of taking an idea (See: [[Ideation]]) to taking action so the idea is implemented.]]
''See also:'' [[Action orientation]]
[[Action orientation]] is "a style of responding to dilemmas or conflicts that is characterized by swift, decisive action to achieve mental and behavioral change. Action orientation has been suggested as a key moderator of [[cognitive control]] under demanding conditions, such that action-oriented individuals are better able to exert control under high demands than are individuals with a state orientation."<ref>[https://dictionary.apa.org/action-orientation Action orientation], American Psychological Association</ref> (A state orientation is "a style of responding to dilemmas or conflicts that is characterized by prolonged analysis and assessment of alternatives rather than by swift, decisive action. The hesitation of state orientation thus leads to the perseveration of current mental and behavioral states."<ref>[https://dictionary.apa.org/state-orientation State orientation], American Psychological Association</ref>).
=== Characteristics of action orientation individuals ===
According to Leon Ho, founder & CEO of Lifehack, characteristics of action-oriented people include:
{{Cquote|
*[[Proactive]] and Resourceful: They don’t just wait for opportunities; they create them.
*Decisive: They make decisions confidently and stand by them.
*Accountable: They take responsibility for their actions and outcomes.
*[[Grit (personality trait)|Persistent]]: They persevere through challenges and setbacks.
*Opportunistic: They recognize and seize opportunities.
An action-oriented person might steadily climb their career ladder by continuously improving their [[skill]]s, seeking new opportunities, and taking on leadership roles, leading to promotions and increased influence.
Those who take action in starting a business often see growth and success through clear vision and consistent effort.<ref>[https://www.lifehack.org/397771/how-to-be-more-action-oriented-obstacles-and-tips Becoming Action-Oriented: Tips for Overcoming Inaction] by Leon Ho (founder & CEO of Lifehack), Lifehack website</ref>}}

[[Mindset]] is "defined as an “established set of [[attitude]]s”, as "the outlook, [[philosophy]], or [[values]] of a person”, and “frame of mind, attitude, [and] disposition.” Within her broad research, Carol Dweck defines two types of mindsets: the [[Growth mindset vs. a fixed mindset|fixed mindset and the growth mindset]].

Your [[intelligence]] and talents are all susceptible to growth. Dr. Carol Dweck of Stanford University first talked about the power of mindset nearly 30 years ago.

=== Optimistic salespeople have higher sales and company retention rates ===
''See also:'' [[Sales]]
The Hoffeld Group indicates:
:"University of Pennsylvania professor [[Martin Seligman]] conducted some interesting research, which was published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, on how optimism and pessimism impacts the performance of sales people.
:Seligman gave sales people a psychological assessment that measured their level of optimism. Then he evaluated those sales people’s performance over a two year period. The findings were that those sales people who scored high on optimism sold 37% more than their more pessimistic counterparts. What’s more, the sales people who tested in the top tier in optimism had sales production that was 88% higher than those who had scored high in pessimism.
:That’s not all. Seligman’s research also revealed that those sales people who had pessimistic mindsets were also 300% more likely to quit the profession of selling than those who were optimistic."<ref>[https://www.hoffeldgroup.com/how-your-thoughts-impact-your-sales/ How Your Thoughts Impact Your Sales], Hoffeld Group</ref>
