Growth Mindset vs Fixed Mindset

-

 


What is 'Fixed Mindset' ?

A fixed mindset, proposed by Stanford professor Carol Dweck in her book 'Mindset', describes people who think their qualities as fixed traits that cannot be changed, have fixed mindset. With a fixed mindset, talent is enough to lead to success and effort to improve these talents isn’t required one is born with a certain amount of skill and intelligence that can’t be improved upon. Those who hold a fixed mindset believe that they are either good or bad at something based on their inherent nature.Those with fixed mindsets may avoid challenges, give up easily and ignore useful negative feedback. The opposite of this fixed mindset is the 'growth mindset'.


What is 'Growth Mindset' ?

A growth mindset, also proposed by Stanford professor Carol Dweck, describes people who believe that their success depends on time and effort. People with a growth mindset feel that through hard work and perseverance they can improve their skills and intelligence. They embrace challenges, persist through obstacles, learn from criticism and seek out inspiration in others’ success. With time and practice, people with a growth mindset believe they can achieve what they want.


How to achieve growth mindset ?

(I've listed the below points from my experiences.)

  • Convert your challenges to opportunities.
  • Don't be afraid of failure.
  • Use different strategies.
  • Make your own decisions and be responsible for that.
  • Learn from others' success and failures.
  • Talent isn't what makes you a genius - skills are.
  • Enough is never enough - always dream bigger. 
  • Turn trash into resource

Success is not final; failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.

INTRODUCTION Wealth, power, and influence. J.P. Morgan had it all. The first billion-dollar firm in the world was owned by him. He controlled the most lucrative industries in America. And several times, J.P. Morgan's decisions determined how the US economy performed. With a simple word or the stroke of a pen, he could save a company from collapse or doom it to bankruptcy. Disliked by some, adored by others -  there will never be another man quite like JP Morgan. Let us see the tale of this legend. AN UNPLEASANT START In 1837, John Pierpont Morgan was born in Connecticut into a wealthy family. Since John's father, Junius Spencer Morgan was already a successful banker, he ensured his son received the best education possible to prepare him for a career in finance. John was born into affluence, yet he had a miserable upbringing. He was an ill little boy, who suffered from several illnesses like seizures, coughs and scarlet fever. Because of his health issues, he was frequently unab

A Surprising Turn With just one day remaining until the U.S. elections, the atmosphere is charged with anticipation and uncertainty. This race has reached an unprecedented level of closeness, with no clear frontrunner emerging. As we’ve seen, many celebrities have thrown their support behind Kamala Harris, and political heavyweights like Allan Lichtman have predicted her victory. Polls have leaned in her favor, further heightening the expectation for a Democratic win. However, after extensive analysis, I find myself compelled to make a bold prediction: Donald J. Trump will emerge victorious in the 2024 presidential election. States Prediction With just one day until the election, I predict a nail-biting finish as both parties make a final push in key battleground states. The current electoral map, showing a 312 to 226 Republican lead, hints at a strong GOP advantage. However, there might be surprises in the swing states of Nevada, Michigan or Wisconsin. Harris may win one of these but
