Growth Mindset vs Fixed Mindset
Growth Mindset:
1. Embraces Challenges: Sees them as opportunities to learn and grow.
2. Persists in the Face of Setbacks: Views failure not as a sign of unintelligence but as a springboard for growth.
3. Sees Effort as the Path to Mastery: Understands that effort and time are necessary to learn and improve.
4. Learns from Criticism: Takes feedback as a source of information for learning and development.
5. Finds Lessons and Inspiration in the Success of Others: Uses others' success as motivation to grow.
Fixed Mindset:
1. Avoids Challenges: Fears that failure might expose a lack of ability.
2. Gives Up Easily: Views obstacles or setbacks as insurmountable and proof of limited capability.
3. Sees Effort as Fruitless: Believes that having to try hard indicates a lack of innate talent.
4. Ignores or Deflects Criticism: Often takes it personally and sees it as an attack rather than an opportunity to improve.
5. Feels Threatened by the Success of Others: Perceives others' success as a benchmark against which their own abilities fall short.
