What is a mindset?

What the ingradiated for success. Hwa tusccessfull people have in common. 20 years research has benn
found that it’s the mindset that successful people has like above dirve them to success. And all the
qualities that we see ex: determination, grit are byproduct of the minset.

Mindset is a simply the way of thinking.

Professor carol dweck has been researching about mindset for 20 years and in her book she says there
are two types of mindset. One is growth mindset and other one is fixed mindset. Growth mindset people
see intelligence or a skills can be developed if they can put enough time and effort to the subject. Fixed
mindset people think intelligence and skills are fixed at birth and they doestnt change.growth mindest
people achieve success. All the above people we talked achieved the success because they put hours
abd hours to their carft and not because of they wear born with special talent. Growth mindset that
they beilieved in put their mind focus to conecetrate for long period than average. How many hours do
you think enstein spend to master physics? More than 10,000 hours. To spend 10,000 hours with a
subject his mindset pushed him because he knew that if he could spend more time with physics he
would get better and better each day. Growth mindset is like a rubber band and fixed mindset is like a
brick. Brick cannot expand or stretch. But rubber bands can.

Puzzle findings

Carol dweck did a experiement on kindergardners. She gathers 40 studnts and she divieded into tow
groups borth groups were given a easy puzzle. For one group she praised the students who completed
with a fixed mindset praise like “your are smart at this” and for other group she prasied with growth
mindset praise “you must have tried really hard”. Then she asked all the students to what they like to do
next. Fixed mindset group said they like to do easy puzzle and growth mindset gourp said they like to do
a hard one. Then she gave all them a hard puzzle and anlyse their results. Growth mindset praise group
did significantly better than fixed mindset. Fix mindset group did far worse than first puzzle. And when
students have to show their results fixed mindset lied about their score 3 times more. Fixed minset did
not have away to cope their failure.
