MINDSET

IN A NUTSHELL

THE GROWTH MINDSET

• You can change your mindset. They are just beliefs.
• Wants to get better and accepts people who point out their shortcomings
• Enjoys what is difficult
• Believes effort ignites ability
• You learn from failure and are not defined by it

THE FIXED MINDSET

• Believes its qualities are set in stone and you must prove yourself
• You are what you are and cannot change
• Believes tests and experts can tell you your potential
• Studies less after failing a test as they don't have the ability
• Enjoys things that are easy

IN EDUCATION

• We should praise effort not intelligence
• We should model being learners
• Nurture the idea that all have talent but more talent can be acquired
• We should teach children to have a growth mindset
• "Do not expect success to come to you, you need to go and get it."
