Fixed and Growth Mindset.
In the left corner, we have Fixed Mindset: The belief that your abilities are cast in stone, leaving no room for growth or change. It whispers in your ear that talent and intelligence alone pave the way to triumph—no sweat required!
But wait, there's a challenger in the right corner! It's Growth Mindset, the mindset of champions! With this mighty perspective, you understand that your talents and intelligence are a canvas, ready to be painted with effort and determination.
Einstein and Mozart may remain legends, but that doesn't stop you!
Embrace the growth mindset, and watch yourself soar to new heights. Expand your horizons, sharpen your wit, and nurture your talents—all through the magic of your mindset.
So, are you ready to wield the power of belief and forge your path to glory? Your mindset is the key—grab it and let's conquer success together!
Some Fixed vs. Growth Mindset Examples.
Fixed Mindset
Either I’m good at it or I’m not.
That’s just who I am, I can’t change it.
If you have to work hard, you don’t have ability.
If I don’t try, then I won’t fail.
That job position is totally out of my league.

Growth Mindset
I can learn to do anything I want.
I’m a constantly evolving work in progress.
The more you challenge yourself, the smarter you become.
I only fail when I stop trying.
That job position looks challenging, let me apply for it.
Mindset Formation
So how is your mindset created in the first place?
Research reveals two primary sources: Praising and Labeling, both of which occur in early childhood. In a landmark series of experiments, Carol and her colleagues found that kids behaved very differently depending on the type of praise they received.
They found that praise, or praising a child’s talents or Labeling them as “smart,” promotes a fixed mindset. It sends a message to a child that they either have an ability or they don’t, and that there is nothing they can do to change that fact.
Process praise, on the other hand, emphasizes the effort a person puts into accomplishing a task.
It implies their success is due to the effort and strategy they used, both of which they can control and improve over time.
This Is An Example Of How They’re Different.
If your child gets a good grade on a math test, personal praise might be, “See, you are good at math, you got an A on your test.”
Process praise, on the other hand, might sound like this: “I’m impressed by how hard you studied for your math test, you read the material over several times, you asked your teacher to help you work out the difficult problems, then tested yourself on it, that really worked!”
Adults can take steps to ensure that children develop growth mindsets by praising their efforts not their results. By focusing on the process rather than the outcome, adults can help kids understand that their efforts, hard work, and dedication can lead to change, learning, and growth, both now and into their adulthood.
The Impact of Mindset
Our mindset plays a critical role in how you cope with life’s challenges.
When a child has a growth mindset, they tend to have a hunger for learning and a desire to work hard and discover new things, this often translates into academic achievement.
As adults, these same people are more likely to persevere in the face of setbacks, instead of throwing in the towel, adults with a growth mindset view it as an opportunity to learn and grow.
On the other hand, those with fixed mindsets are more likely to give up when challenging circumstances arise.
In her book “Mindset: The New Psychology of Success,” Carol writes that those with fixed mindsets are constantly seeking validation to prove their worth not just to others, but also to themselves.
“I’ve seen so many people with this one consuming goal of proving themselves in the classroom, in their careers, and in their relationships, every situation calls for a confirmation of their intelligence, personality, or character, every situation is evaluated: Will I succeed or fail? Will I look smart or dumb? Will I be accepted or rejected? Will I feel like a winner or a loser?” – CAROL DWECK
What Is Your Mindset?
Do you have a fixed or growth mindset?
To find out, start by reading the following statements and decide which ones you agree with most:
something that can be changed.
No matter who you are, there isn’t much you can do to improve your basic abilities and personality.
People are capable of changing who they are.
You can learn new things and improve your intelligence.
People either have particular talents, or they don’t. You can’t just acquire talent for things like music, writing, art, or athletics.
Studying, working hard, and practicing new skills are all ways to develop new talents and abilities.You’re born with a certain amount of intelligence and it isn’t
If you tend to agree most with statements 1, 2, and 5, then you probably have a more fixed mindset, if you agree most with statements 3, and 4, 6, however, then you probably tend to have a growth mindset
