Growth Mindset 11

This week I learned more about Carol Dweck the doctor who coined the phrase Growth Mindset. I learned this week exactly what constitutes as a fixed mindset. People with a fixed mindset avoid challenges, give up at obstacles, see effort as fruitless, ignore useful negative feedback and feel threatened by the success of others. However, people with growth mindset seam to take a lot of these elements in stride and try to become better from each one, for example they are ready to embrace challenge, persist in the face of setbacks and so on.

I feel this is a very important mindset to have in college and general life, there's no one who can be perfect all the time or in this case "smart", everyone has their own unique challenges and strengths but these challenges are belittled and these strengths can always be enhanced with a growth mindset and some hard work.
