Fixed vs. Growth mindset

  • When success means being smart and failure being dumb, it stunts potential & possibilities in life. Growth mindset helps you love challenges, learn from mistakes, enjoy effort, seek new strategies, and keep learning....basically the main ingredients for meaningful success.
  • With a fixed mindset, the only goal of education becomes prove worth, competence, intelligence...about the label. But growth mindset is about believing people can develop their abilities. It's about setting high standards but offering a nurturing environment too where it's possible to learn, think, and make your own decisions.
  • Focusing on the ability to learn rather than on intelligence and talent, encourages a growth mindset. Praising intelligence & talent makes confidence volatile...because it puts the source of motivation on external validation.
