Growth vs. fixed mindset
Opposed to the Fixed Mindset, where intelligence is describe as static, people with a Growth Mindset, are described by Carol S. Dweck as it :
Leads to a desire to learn and therefore a tendency to :
- Embrace challenges
- Persist in the face of setbacks
- See effort as the path to mastery
- Learn from criticism
- find lessons and inspiration in the success of others.
While a fixed mindset shows a deterministic view of the world, the growth mindset gives people a greater sense of free will and result in reaching ever-higher levels of achievements.
Seeking for feedback and get pleasure out of changing for the better (How To Take Smart Notes - Sönke Ahrens) is part of the growth mindset.
