How it's used
Refers specifically to one's internal psychological state or perspective when facing challenges or tasks. It is frequently used in professional or self-improvement contexts to describe whether someone is mentally prepared or resilient. Unlike general personality traits, it focuses on the temporary or adjustable frame of mind one adopts toward a specific situation.

Common mistake
Avoid using it as a direct translation for personality or character, which are better expressed as 性格. It is not a synonym for mood, which is better described as 心情.
