I always got told, that I'm a fast learner, so watching this video I realized why I fear bigger things, things that take a while to master. Like playing the guitar or drawing. Those things take time. You cannot master them within minutes or a day. So when I do not learn them fast, iI feel like a loser, not good enough, demotivated by the task. Thank you for making me realizing that! Time to change that!
Lucky you! I always got told that I was stupid...... even when I was a good student. It was emotionally traumatizing.... and I ended up being very much affected. But, now as an adult, I am slowly cutting off family and finally feeling like I can grow myself without being hindered.
Yes, that sometimes happens to me too. I would love to have such incredible skills at playing guitar like Estas Tone, but it’s clear that it takes time to master. but in the process of mastering this skill, i found out that I can actually have fun while taking that barre ^_^ (It is a challenge to make it sound, but I’m almost there!) And that’s absolutely because of my teacher. He always says after he teaches something new to me „It will sound awfully in your performance for the first couple of weeks. Take your time, stick to it, play everyday this piece and it will get better.“ But how is it going for you? Do you notice changes in your behavior? Have you challenged the guitar/drawing or something else?
I feel you bro, I can understand basically anything within a small amount of time, yet I am such a fixed mindset. Realizing this, is crushing my whole existence, but I am understanding so many thing about me. It's glorious.
Yes, and learning something that takes a long time to master also helps in developing a growth mindset. They go hand-in-hand, as without a growth mindset you'll just get on with something else.
I am learning about a growth vs fixed mindset in my English class in college and I find that Carol Dweck has really proven her research and backs up what she states. I also find that having sa growth mindset allows a person to be able to reach their potential and overcome obstacles. Thank You Prof. Carol Dweck
I have read here today, marked 7years ago...i hope you are in a satisfying and fulfilling life now. My purpose in reacting is to express my admiration for your English professor then as being an advocate of Growth Mindset.
This was awesome!! Favorite part was adding the word "yet" to negative mindset sentences. My daughter gets frustrated easily (she has her Mommy's inherent temperament that can lean towards developing a fixed mindset...I think), and she will often yell, "Uhhhggg!! I can't do this!" And I would always reply, "Don't say the word 'can't'. Say "I have to keep on trying." Which would work sometimes, rarely... But now I want to try getting her in the habit of saying, "I can't do this yet." Thanks for the great video!
I knew about her yesterday she’s truly godsend, I cannot thank her enough, now I finally know my problem with avoidance and stuff like that, cause I’ve been trapped in “Smart” cage since I was kid, but not anymore Insha’Allah I will take the growth Mindset journey from now on.
Starting reading this and only on the third chapter and a bell went off. Love it. Been reading or listening to lots of spiritual awareness "teachings" or insights for past 8-9 years, so I consider this another wonderful tool. You may not get the context of the video w/o reading some of the book, but highly recommend it. Give it a shot. You can change you're life through your thinking but like anything it takes some work and reversing years of momentum built up of making you think otherwise.
before i know growth mindset, i was living in other's eyes, i was so worried about making mistakes and not looking smart. Now by contrast, i am confident and see every failure as opportunities to learn and grow, i don't care what people see me, i have firmer self-assertiveness and self-esteem which is great!
Man, I do that emotional response when my children makes mistakes. It comes from the incredible drama (and smacking) mom provided whenever I made a mistake, no matter how small. It is good to know, so I can improve as a parent. Cheers!!
Thank you for writting The Mindset! That book changed my life and I am now well aware of the two mindsets. Everyday I am improving my mindset all thanks to this book
Carol, in college this was my fist lesson. I want you to now how much this changed my life. I went from making awful grades as a child to making straight As as a college student. Thank- you so much! ~ April Dawn
Shame is 100% the root of children developing fixed mindsets, and adults inflicting them on their children. The most amazing thing is though that adults can switch right out of even a lifetime of shame induced fixed mindset beliefs if they are willing to trust the process and forgive those who, in their own hurt and shame, projected that onto them. Really amazing stuff!
What I appreciated about this was hearing Dr Dweck's comments about the benefits of taking on challenges and overcoming obstacles. It reminded me about the ideas I learned earlier this year in a book called Good With Numbers.
Fantastic and awesome. As a Life Coach and Psychological Counselor, I have personally seen real transformation in the lives of people in adopting a Growth Mindset. I am forever grateful to You reverend Carol Dweck for your great work in this most important field which is creating revolution in my coaching to students, parents, executives and those who come for individual counseling for success and happiness. As you have said here and written in your classic book, Identifying Triggers for a week is the best first step of transformation. Thank You thank You thank You respected Professor Carol Dweck for your so cool and practical presentation and thank you very much Google for sharing this most important video.
I think that's what backfired for me.... I was a 1st ranker from grade 1 to grade 2 then came the downfall from grade 3 to grade 8...almost last ranker. slowly picked myself up from grade 9 to 12 and then finally became a 1st ranker again in college and university. Even now, I cringe when people tell me oh... How smart you are, how knowledgeable, how talented... and whoosh, I go back into my shell...
This talk is giving me vocabulary to use to describe work environments! Around the 25:00 pt, she is responding to a Q about how to change the culture of a biz from fixed to growth. Some of her suggestions go deep into the eval and reward system of a biz. Reminded me of a brief snit with a supervisor at a previous job. He cc'd me an email he wrote to my Boss, basically about my messy desk. He had been standing right there, he could have talked with ME about it. The tone of the email was really mean. It made me angry! Thankfully, I did not respond immediately. The next morning, I replied via email to all. I apologized for my 'messy' desk. Then I pointed out that it was messy because I was WORKING on 5-6 different projects and that I was usually very good about putting things away before I left each night. I reminded them all of my recent effectiveness and good reviews. And how I had stepped up on recent weekends to help other teams in the company complete projects on time. In hindsight, and after seeing this talk, I think that supervisor was quite 'FIXED'. Perhaps tallying his personal points? And I was more 'Growth' and teamwork. Perhaps that is why we sometimes clashed? Hmmmm?
This presentation and the way growth mindset was explained was very well done. A very valuable video and way of thinking. I wonder how growth mindset comports with the mindset behind CRT.
Carol, Thanks for this amazing study. I am sure the world will be better in future due to this study and human growth will take a different trajectory due to this Thank you is not enough for your work. Thank you google for this talk
love her argument. Ordered her book, looking forward to reading it. We are raising literally a bunch of wimps and doing more bad than good by constantly praising kids. When one hears they are "smart", why would they challenge themselves to become even smarter? Reinforcement is good, no doubt, but praising a kid for doing nothing more than doing what every other kid is doing imo, is strongly hindering their ability to raise above everyone else and to challenge themselves. This doesn't just apply to kids but to adults as well. Too many people are using the "good enough" approach and mindset which is why you see so many people living average lives. People don't realize what more they can achieve financially, spiritually, their health, their relationships with others, if they were to adopt a growth mindset.
Great overview. Fits very well with the American education system that has been praising smart kids for the last few decades. Europe is much different in that aspect. Time for a change 👍 could not agree more to most of your points Carol
@An English Language Learner Did you actually read either of the articles you linked? Completely contradicts your entire argument here. These kinds of things are never the "instant results" kind of thing... Which is kind of the whole point... Maybe your mindset needs some readjustment.
i underestimated the importance of environment and didn’t know about the relationship between the praise a mother gives to their 1 2 3 year old and the child’s mindset and desire for challenge 5 yrs later i think it just adds another layer of importance to improving inequities in housing, education, etc. but besides that i really appreciated how she said this is life long and a journey and even she needs to continually monitor those triggers - seeing mistakes and setbacks as opportunities for learning and growth instead of indicators of your worth, seeing someone better than you as an opportunity to go learn from them instead of comparison, when met with choices take the more challenging one and not the safe one
Mary Himiona An encouraging talk. Eduardo Briceno works with Carol Dweck and they have been part of the Mindset movement. I am currently reading Dweck's book on Mindset and I am currently finding the time to reflect on my own mindset in the classroom as a teacher. Am I providing my students learning opportunities that stretch them in ways they can imagine (Drama)? I have the unique opportunity to provide students with a range of roles that they would never play in everyday life and this in turn allows them to consider new thoughts and physical behaviours that they previously did not know they were capable of. Reflection and feedback is an important element of the process to help them grow. The suggestions of both peers as and teacher feedback allows the student in turn to reflect back on the feedback given and apply and alter their performance to stretch and grow.
I see growth mindset vs fixed mindset as a subsection of thinking positively vs thinking negatively. It seems like if you were to think of your "not yets" as an opportunity to improve then you will be more successful as opposed to thinking of your "failures" as a bad thing which makes you not want to try anymore or be less motivated. So, just be more positive and see the good in a situation and spin a "not yet" moment to seem like more of a challenge to improve oneself.
It's ironic how the presenter introduced Carol Dweck at the beginner as to how many accolades she had won, how smart she was and how many awards she has attained, then went straight into talking about how you don't do this, lol!
24:40 Message should come from the top - *value system* - on taking on challenges, on rewarding reasonable risk, teamwork, sharing information (rather than hoarding), performance evaluations that speak to growth and contribution to the company, salary increases that take into account if the person took on challenges, helped other people improve, were they a good team player. 40:50 Fixed mindset is better in 1) Sexual orientation (Gender pronouns & sex changes = victim mentality), 2) Aging. Both are better for excepting reality rather than delusion. *When it comes to skills areas, a growth mindset is almost always more advantageous.*
I was always praised for being artistically 'talented', long before the self-esteem movement. Compared to Rembrandt or Sargent I'm not, though....this mindset idea is a valuable concept.
She is a breath of fresh air in comparison to the women whom mostly advocate ONLY for young girls and women"s education. I like how she cares about ALL THE CHILDREN"S education and not preferring one gender over the other. Thank you Carol, keep up the good work and much respect to you.
I will be defeinitely rewathcing this, but I think one of the most important takeaways comes from listening both to the question and answer given to the question beginning at 41:46
We are not very well able to control what we want (seem smart or be smarter). This is the same psychological safety that good group norms give rise to. The lack of competition in the group, trust and attention to each other are inseparable elements of efficiency. So just one mood for growth does not work
If one believes in the divine in every person, it is on point to tell people they are smart, beautiful...divine! That should not negate the need to build skills, get fit, take a shower to build on inherent smarts, beauty etc
I'm not sure that telling someone that they are smart isn't a good idea. I think letting someone know that they are capable and smart or good at something is a net possitive. I think what is missing is telling that person that they are resilient. That no matter what the world thows at you that you are able, capable, and smart enough to figure it out. That's my approach and it works well for me.
Great interview. Carol Dweck is awesome, and I'm a big believer in the growth mindset. With that out of the way, someone get those damn coughers in the audience some lozenges... or sweaters. WTH. That was unbelievably annoying.
@Diana X I totally agree with you. It improves self esteen, dress to succed. The people on the video don't look like crap to me. Even, if someone works as a cleaner they should dress how they represent not for thee work they. Taking care of ourselves should be priority.
We are not very well able to control what we want (seem smart or be smarter). This is the same psychological safety that good group norms give rise to. The lack of competition in the group, trust and attention to each other are inseparable elements of efficiency. So just one mood for growth does not work
I wish someone had asked: What about cultural differences? That is, would young people (or adults) in, for example, Japan tend to have growth mindsets more than young people (or adults) in, for example, Great Britain?
Mam, you are fuckin right about self-esteem movement. Telling people that they are smart actually, limits their ability to accept challanges. Actually, this strategy backfires.
We have people who has different agendas in what they want to get out of the teachings, one tries to bring enlightenment to the mainstream. They will take the information and turn it around to support the wrong things. Something we watched that religion brought to our life. Where knowledge is knowledge, it does not matter where it comes from, but many was train not to look at but only one place, which is the one the promotors putting out. Is one of the reason wars play a part in human life.
While I really like and agree with what Carol Dweck says I feel she sidestepped the question around raw talent. While everyone can improve their abilities, it is also true that our upper limits on growth in various areas are limited by factors that are not in our control. Being able to recognize that is important. Not everyone can be a professional basket ball player if they just try hard enough. Same goes for being like Einstein. Not everyone could have come up with the theory of relativity if they just tried hard enough. Being able to recognize this is important because as a person gets better and better in a specialized area, the gains become smaller and smaller. It can become more advantageous to the individual and society for that individual branch out and improve on other areas in comparison to focusing on a single skill in an effort to achieve something that might be literally beyond his or her capability. On a personal level I experienced this somewhat in my education but also in computer gaming. Computer gaming is easier to explain so I will do so here. It is a well know fact that somewhere in your late teens and early twenties your reaction speed is at it's peek performance. I'm past my prime by a good 10 years. There is no possible way, with any amount of training or dedication that I could ever beat someone in there prime in a video game that's almost exclusively based on reaction time. It would be a waste of my time to try to become the best video game player at the expense of all the other skills I could be improving.
Okay.. I'm over 50 and I have closed my mindset regarding the belief did I am "too old" to learn and become proficient at a new language. As I'm getting older, I find it difficult to even find words sometimes. Am I wrong? Can anyone it there tell me they have become fluent at a new language over 50? That said. I took calculus at age 50 and got a "B". After failing algebra at the age of 13, my mother informed me that I didn't have the intelligence to try again and she refused to let me retake the class. somehow I manage to graduate college, but I never went past Algebra 2. In my mids 40s, I still want so sure I could ever go further in math because of my intelligence.. But year by year, bit by bit, I realized calculus isn't about a high IQ. It is about learning steps and roles, then applying them.. that is it!!. It isn't difficult at all. I am not so convinced about a new language though
Don't know why she would diminish the concept of what self-esteem is, the way she puts it is more of labeling a person, people with good self-esteem correlates exactly with every definition she might have for someone with a growth mindset.
8:00 - Smart and Stupid labels. When you are told that you are smart or stupid, then you build your life around those labels. Smart people think they don't have to work hard.
is there a connection between fixed and growth mindset and cptsd? my children and I have cptsd from years of domestic abuse and now that we are out and safe we seem to all swing between growth and fixed mindset in our individual lives and it even changes from day to day and by subject
Hi Melissa Your hunch is valid. However the relationship is a correlation, not a causation. Being exposure to trauma and abuse does not lead to a fixed mindset. People do not walk around either with the one or the other. We all exhibit both day to day and subject to the topic at hand as you say. The beauty of mindset is that we can recognise it, name it, embrace our humanity, and change it. A trauma informed counsellor can support you on the journey to growth. Wanting to grow, wanting to heal, wanting to be whole. Facing challenges and obstacles we realise that we are more resilient than we thought possible.
I disagree. If I'm deciding my life based on what people think about me then thinking smart will act negatively but at the same time if I think myself as smart and don't worry about what people think of me then I'll try to do things smartly and growth mindset supports it and gives me an opportunity to challenge myself. Also, if I think I'm not smart, every failure will strengthen that belief of not being a smart person and end up feeling miserable and stupid and stop challenging myself. The approach is important. I mean think about it, if you don't think you're smart, will you even try to do anything creative, better and awesome?
Growth mindset people don't think in terms of smartness or failure. They think in terms of learning. They know what they are capable of and what they are not. This helps them learn more
The thing is that people with growth mindset would not be as simple as I'm smart instead of that they would think " I'm capable to do that , or learn that". I haven't read the book yet . I based my opinion on that two concepts
She has theory and research about growth mindset. Will you say Scientists believe earth is circling the sun because they have fixed mindset? No That's how it works
I always got told, that I'm a fast learner, so watching this video I realized why I fear bigger things, things that take a while to master. Like playing the guitar or drawing. Those things take time.

Wanted to say she's a genius......She's really worked hard to create a radical new way of motivating effectively, especially children!
7 years later there is actually still no scientific evidence that her prescriptions work in education
@Amelia true!!
Not that genius, just common sense XD
She's not genius, just sticking to things longer :P
I am learning about a growth vs fixed mindset in my English class in college and I find that Carol Dweck has really proven her research and backs up what she states.

@Zsolt Papp
What are your arguments against it?
@Zsolt Papp debatable
I have read here today, marked 7years ago...i hope you are in a satisfying and fulfilling life now. My purpose in reacting is to express my admiration for your English professor then as being an advocate of Growth Mindset.
professors should not really teach this because 7 years later there is still no scientific evidence that what she says is correct
She havent proven anything and her book is rather superficial. And boring.
This was awesome!! Favorite part was adding the word "yet" to negative mindset sentences.

But now I want to try getting her in the habit of saying, "I can't do this yet." Thanks for the great video!
also love the idea of "not yet"s in schooling
Everyone in the world becomes clever and intelligent and smart
I knew about her yesterday she’s truly godsend, I cannot thank her enough, now I finally know my problem with avoidance and stuff like that, cause I’ve been trapped in “Smart” cage since I was kid, but not anymore Insha’Allah I will take the growth Mindset journey from now on.
I made a smart cage for myself. Now I know I can leave it too 🙃
This message needs to get to all teachers as well as parents! Oh, and grandparents, too.
True
And to the students at an early age
This is a wealth of knowledge to help people encourage those who struggle with life's challenges to thrive. "Everyone can grow!" Yes!
Starting reading this and only on the third chapter and a bell went off. Love it.

How did you do the switch? would be very interesting if you could share
Wow that is amazing.
I think she is a person spreading seeds of positivity that creates healthier and happier generations.
I appreciate you for your work.
Man, I do that emotional response when my children makes mistakes. It comes from the incredible drama (and smacking) mom provided whenever I made a mistake, no matter how small. It is good to know, so I can improve as a parent. Cheers!!
Thank you for writting The Mindset! That book changed my life and I am now well aware of the two mindsets.
Everyday I am improving my mindset all thanks to this book
This was a very powerful video... Mindset is key to reach above mediocrity.
Keith Eastman II absolutely Keith! I agree!

Amazing talk! Thank you very much :)
What I appreciated about this was hearing Dr Dweck's comments about the benefits of taking on challenges and overcoming obstacles. It reminded me about the ideas I learned earlier this year in a book called Good With Numbers.
Can you help with the author ?
Sorry, I'd be interested in readying this book, but cant' find one with this title, do you mean A Mind for Numbers?
Thank you so much for this, Dr. Carol Dweck!! And Google, of course! What a blessing!!
Give this woman the Nobel Prize! Thank you for your research Carol Dweck.
Fantastic and awesome. As a Life Coach and Psychological Counselor, I have personally seen real transformation in the lives of people in adopting a Growth Mindset.

you are so great almost better than everyone else actually you are perfect LOL
Would have nice application at Drug Rehab
28 years and I've been holding back learning new things, thinking it's gonna push out all the good memories! Thanks
I love Mindset. This has helped me so much. I work at a library and this has helped me help our students. Thank you very much.
This is so powerful!!!!
Ty Carol Dwek for saying hopeful words to try to save me from myself & change my thinking about failure. 🙌🏽
I think that's what backfired for me.... I was a 1st ranker from grade 1 to grade 2 then came the downfall from grade 3 to grade 8...almost last ranker. slowly picked myself up from grade 9 to 12 and then finally became a 1st ranker again in college and university.
Even now, I cringe when people tell me oh... How smart you are, how knowledgeable, how talented... and whoosh, I go back into my shell...
Why do you think people telling you how smart you are gets that reaction off you?
Thank you Carol Dweck! I found a tiny particle of Growth Mindset to aid with balancing life and academics
Very important to where we are as individuals. Our strengths and weaknesses equals to fixed/growth mindset.

10:59- Poor students who have a growth mindset perform better than wealthier students. What an enlightenment.
@Randomnesscythe
Longitudinal studies are needed in mindset. I think it's possible to adopt a growth mindset with application
@Randomnesscythe Yes I reat it, what contradicts?
@An English Language Learner Did you actually read either of the articles you linked? Completely contradicts your entire argument here. These kinds of things are never the "instant results" kind of thing... Which is kind of the whole point... Maybe your mindset needs some readjustment.
@Guangkai Ren I read the book, though it's bullshit, then I google find it.
@An English Language Learner Amazing! How did you come across these articles?
Great discussion! thank you for sharing it.

Brilliant answer on how fixed mindset helps in accepting sexuality and aging

It seems like if you were to think of your "not yets" as an opportunity to improve then you will be more successful as opposed to thinking of your "failures" as a bad thing which makes you not want to try anymore or be less motivated. So, just be more positive and see the good in a situation and spin a "not yet" moment to seem like more of a challenge to improve oneself.

She looks like a kind person. I want to get into Stanford just so I can be her student.

40:50 Fixed mindset is better in 1) Sexual orientation (Gender pronouns & sex changes = victim mentality), 2) Aging. Both are better for excepting reality rather than delusion. *When it comes to skills areas, a growth mindset is almost always more advantageous.*
love it. I always check myself to make sure I have a growth mindset
"They don't just announce 'we're a growth mindset culture'", this lady just roasted half of corporate America
Thank you Carol. I will use a growth mindset to finish my chemistry tonight
very informative about the different mind sets. And how the growth mind set can grow over time
amazing talks, thanks Mrs. Carol
just finished listening to the audiobook and found this talk really helpful..
Yo explained the growth mindset really well. Thank you
"Those who naturally have a growth mindset do better in challenges"Carol Dweck.COOLSOME.
fantastic talk! thank you google & Carol Dweck
I was always praised for being artistically 'talented', long before the self-esteem movement. Compared to Rembrandt or Sargent I'm not, though....this mindset idea is a valuable concept.
Saying not yet after a wrong answer keeps up motivation and persistence
9:40 data supports challenge mindset and difficult tasks followed through creates neural connections 20:00 is intelligence learned
She is a breath of fresh air in comparison to the women whom mostly advocate ONLY for young girls and women"s education. I like how she cares about ALL THE CHILDREN"S education and not preferring one gender over the other. Thank you Carol, keep up the good work and much respect to you.
amazing - i truly believe in it !!!
why isn't she awarded a nobel prize !!!
@pretty pumpkin
No it's not commin sense.
It needs far more understanding
Because it's not really that revolutionary, the fighting game community has been preaching this for years.
Not YET :P With her theories on growth mindset, she could win either the Peace Prize or the Economics Prize.
Dolly Doll 👍
Because it is commin sense. Not to far of a reach.. not amazing. Interesting but not mind blowing. That is my guess
Thank You KZclip Google and Carol Dweck this affirms how I try to train my clients.
I will be defeinitely rewathcing this, but I think one of the most important takeaways comes from listening both to the question and answer given to the question beginning at 41:46
Great discussion 👍
We are not very well able to control what we want (seem smart or be smarter). This is the same psychological safety that good group norms give rise to. The lack of competition in the group, trust and attention to each other are inseparable elements of efficiency. So just one mood for growth does not work
We need not look smart. Save this energy. Use this energy in your effort to achieve your goal.
I'm loving this content. I learn English and ideas to life.
We grow all of our lifetime, but I cannot help my language as to give up on it. I am it. Love my daughter. I doubt that I could change. Nor had to.
thank you a lot for these videos!
Thank you a lot for the CD Projekt Tip, Kolja!
My family disinherited me after I destroyed their finances with your tip.

Yessssir
Sounds like i've got work to do. Love it
thanks for this video. this is amazing!
"Listen to these voices of fixed mindset. If you don't hear them they rule your behavior"
I suffered from a lot of anxiety in high school when I had to start working really hard beyond my “talents” becuz I was told I was gifted.
I was an owfuly distractive kid at school and till now I'm fixing the bad homework of my school teachers. 😁
If one believes in the divine in every person, it is on point to tell people they are smart, beautiful...divine! That should not negate the need to build skills, get fit, take a shower to build on inherent smarts, beauty etc
One thing I've seen consistently in my 30 years in life is that people are more afraid of success than they are of failure.
Great video excellent thanks!
I'm not sure that telling someone that they are smart isn't a good idea. I think letting someone know that they are capable and smart or good at something is a net possitive.
I think what is missing is telling that person that they are resilient. That no matter what the world thows at you that you are able, capable, and smart enough to figure it out.
That's my approach and it works well for me.
Great interview. Carol Dweck is awesome, and I'm a big believer in the growth mindset. With that out of the way, someone get those damn coughers in the audience some lozenges... or sweaters. WTH. That was unbelievably annoying.
21:10 brain neuron with growth mindset vs fixed mindset, what an enlightenment !
"Why waste my time looking smart when I could be getting smarter."
@Diana X I totally agree with you. It improves self esteen, dress to succed. The people on the video don't look like crap to me. Even, if someone works as a cleaner they should dress how they represent not for thee work they. Taking care of ourselves should be priority.
We are not very well able to control what we want (seem smart or be smarter). This is the same psychological safety that good group norms give rise to.

Looking smart also can teach us something, right?
Or acting smart.
Jean-Victor Côté I love that!!
I wish someone had asked: What about cultural differences? That is, would young people (or adults) in, for example, Japan tend to have growth mindsets more than young people (or adults) in, for example, Great Britain?
I love her voice
❤ LOVE you all growth mindset people
the scariest fact is those people who actually born with great talent are putting more efforts than people who don't
Kathy Ho true
Mam, you are fuckin right about self-esteem movement. Telling people that they are smart actually, limits their ability to accept challanges. Actually, this strategy backfires.
We have people who has different agendas in what they want to get out of the teachings, one tries to bring enlightenment to the mainstream. They will take the information and turn it around to support the wrong things. Something we watched that religion brought to our life. Where knowledge is knowledge, it does not matter where it comes from, but many was train not to look at but only one place, which is the one the promotors putting out. Is one of the reason wars play a part in human life.
While I really like and agree with what Carol Dweck says I feel she sidestepped the question around raw talent. While everyone can improve their abilities, it is also true that our upper limits on growth in various areas are limited by factors that are not in our control. Being able to recognize that is important. Not everyone can be a professional basket ball player if they just try hard enough. Same goes for being like Einstein. Not everyone could have come up with the theory of relativity if they just tried hard enough. Being able to recognize this is important because as a person gets better and better in a specialized area, the gains become smaller and smaller. It can become more advantageous to the individual and society for that individual branch out and improve on other areas in comparison to focusing on a single skill in an effort to achieve something that might be literally beyond his or her capability.
On a personal level I experienced this somewhat in my education but also in computer gaming. Computer gaming is easier to explain so I will do so here. It is a well know fact that somewhere in your late teens and early twenties your reaction speed is at it's peek performance. I'm past my prime by a good 10 years. There is no possible way, with any amount of training or dedication that I could ever beat someone in there prime in a video game that's almost exclusively based on reaction time. It would be a waste of my time to try to become the best video game player at the expense of all the other skills I could be improving.
She didn't say you will be the top of your game solely based on growth mindset
Growth mindset can improve your chances of getting to top
Thank you Google/Carol!!!
I love the growth mindset concept, but I don't like how it's sometimes used to sugar-coat failure.
There’s no such thing as a failure. There are only results you didn’t want. 😉
that guy is asking such good questions!
Okay.. I'm over 50 and I have closed my mindset regarding the belief did I am "too old" to learn and become proficient at a new language. As I'm getting older, I find it difficult to even find words sometimes. Am I wrong? Can anyone it there tell me they have become fluent at a new language over 50? That said. I took calculus at age 50 and got a "B". After failing algebra at the age of 13, my mother informed me that I didn't have the intelligence to try again and she refused to let me retake the class. somehow I manage to graduate college, but I never went past Algebra 2. In my mids 40s, I still want so sure I could ever go further in math because of my intelligence.. But year by year, bit by bit, I realized calculus isn't about a high IQ. It is about learning steps and roles, then applying them.. that is it!!. It isn't difficult at all. I am not so convinced about a new language though
Don't know why she would diminish the concept of what self-esteem is, the way she puts it is more of labeling a person, people with good self-esteem correlates exactly with every definition she might have for someone with a growth mindset.
Self esteem movement is different from having self esteem. Exaggerated self esteem is of a fixed mindset
8:00 - Smart and Stupid labels. When you are told that you are smart or stupid, then you build your life around those labels. Smart people think they don't have to work hard.
That was me before growth mindset
is there a connection between fixed and growth mindset and cptsd? my children and I have cptsd from years of domestic abuse and now that we are out and safe we seem to all swing between growth and fixed mindset in our individual lives and it even changes from day to day and by subject
Hi Melissa
Your hunch is valid. However the relationship is a correlation, not a causation. Being exposure to trauma and abuse does not lead to a fixed mindset. People do not walk around either with the one or the other. We all exhibit both day to day and subject to the topic at hand as you say.
The beauty of mindset is that we can recognise it, name it, embrace our humanity, and change it.
A trauma informed counsellor can support you on the journey to growth. Wanting to grow, wanting to heal, wanting to be whole.
Facing challenges and obstacles we realise that we are more resilient than we thought possible.
Very good 👍
Is this why I have such anxiety about my performance in almost every circumstance?
I disagree. If I'm deciding my life based on what people think about me then thinking smart will act negatively but at the same time if I think myself as smart and don't worry about what people think of me then I'll try to do things smartly and growth mindset supports it and gives me an opportunity to challenge myself. Also, if I think I'm not smart, every failure will strengthen that belief of not being a smart person and end up feeling miserable and stupid and stop challenging myself. The approach is important. I mean think about it, if you don't think you're smart, will you even try to do anything creative, better and awesome?
Growth mindset people don't think in terms of smartness or failure. They think in terms of learning. They know what they are capable of and what they are not. This helps them learn more
The thing is that people with growth mindset would not be as simple as I'm smart instead of that they would think " I'm capable to do that , or learn that". I haven't read the book yet . I based my opinion on that two concepts
Growth mindset represent
Shruthi Reddy yes!! Growth mindset is the way!!
She has a fixed mindset about growth mindset
@Shiwoo Lee
Did you?
She has theory and research about growth mindset. Will you say Scientists believe earth is circling the sun because they have fixed mindset? No
That's how it works
@Online Education Nepal hahaha
😂
Agreed. We have to challenge her growth mindset theory.
If only understand two words fixed and growth that just enough really.Miracle Prof.
No not really
