Speech On Mindset

In school, at the stores, anywhere, there are two types of people that can be encountered. What makes these two types of people different is their mindsets. One type has the mindset of a pessimist; they think they cannot do certain tasks and are afraid of looking stupid. The other type has the mindset of an optimist; they always try new things and are not scared to do so. In the article “Brainology” by Carol S. Dweck, she states that there are two different mindsets that people can possess, either a fixed mindset (pessimist) or a growth mindset (optimist); these mindsets are developed at a young age and will influence a person’s choices and opportunities.

Your mind a powerful thing. The stories you tell yourself and the things you believe about yourself can either prevent change from happening or allow new skills to blossom. Recently, I've been learning more about the link between our beliefs and our behaviors. Dweck is well known for her work on “ the fixed mindset vs the growth mindset”. She describes the difference between these two ideas and how they impact your performance.

“Mindsets are an important part of your personality, but you can change them.”(Dweck 46) Carol Dweck author of Mindset: The New Psychology of Success says this because mindsets aren’t permanent and you are able to change your mindset about anything. How you approach things in life and what mindset you use toward it can affect the outcome of what occurs. How you take the results of how you did can affect the future of how you go about doing things. One of the reoccurring themes of the growth mindset is trying a new approach at a goal or a situation that you don’t know how to go about.

Growth mindset and the fixed mindset: The two focal points of Mindset: The New Psychology of Success written by Carol Dweck. Pushing yourself further and further so that you can strengthen your intelligence, versus believing that the knowledge you know and have cannot be brought to a higher level. Even though the book was a difficult read, it really opens the mind to the different views on life, and the many ways that people go about their lives. How the fixed mindset may bring someone to success at first but later in their life lead them to a crisis. Or how the growth mindset may be difficult to grasp and achieve, but it will enact success in the future. The book advises ways to go from having the fixed mindset to the growth mindset, from saying things such as, “Yet those people with the growth mindset were not labeling themselves… Even though

There are two basic mindsets, growth and fixed. Carol Dweck, a world-renowned psychologist from Stanford University, discovered that people who operate in a growth mindset, believe that their simplest abilities can be advanced through commitment and diligent work. Growth mindset people think that their intelligence can be improved, and if they try hard and persevere they will succeed. Growth mindsets are the opposite of fixed mindsets. Fixed mindsets are people who think that they can’t change anything and were born with certain talents. In contrast, people with a fixed mindset imagine that their most fundamental qualities can not be changed and that, without effort, only talent can create

A fixed mindset is when someone believes the abilities you are born with are the ones you will always have, and they cannot be changed. Children who possess a fixed mindset are likely to attribute their success to pure luck and their failures to ability or lack thereof. This is also known as learned helplessness. Children with a growth mindset, however, have a contrasting perspective. They believe abilities can be improved over time with an input of effort. They attribute their success to their abilities and their failures to variables that can be easily altered. As I have mentioned in the past, I fall under the authoritative parenting style. Because an authoritative parenting style is firm but caring and encouraging, I have cultivated a growth

In an article called “Brainology” Carol S. Dweck argues that there is a fixed mindset and growth mindset and I agree because Dweck says “not everyone has the same abilities or that someone can be as smart as Einstein, but Einstein wasn’t even Einstein until he put in the years of focused hard work.” So this tells me that if you have a fixed mindset you’ll be afraid to look smart so rather look dumb. On the other hand, if you have a growth mindset you’ll put in the hard work and achieve greatness. So either give up or we fight for what we want. We’ll either fail and quit or fail and get back on the horse and be something in

But, I want to share with you what people with fixed mindset think and how people with growth mindset think. And, I look at the fixed mindset and think this was me. I was stuck in this place and it just destroyed me. It kept me from doing anything that made me happy and what I enjoyed. Nowadays, I still have to catch myself and think that if I made a mistake or something happens to my business that was not suppose to go as planned, I think man, “Is this really where I’m supposed to be?”

The mindset someone is in allows them to have the ability to have a different perception. It allows for a greater range of thought. The author,

Mindset to me is something that can always be changed depending on your attitude. I do not believe that mindset is something that is fixed, and that you are only as good as your genes allow. I think you can develop new skills or improve any current skills anytime in life as long as you put in the work. In the letter I wrote to a future student I talked about my first real test in college. It was in BIO 105 and I bombed it. When I saw my score the first thing I thought was that I wasn't cut out for college. I was used to not putting much effort in when I was in high school and still doing good. From a little help from my teacher I was able to change my work ethic when it comes to school work. From that point on I've done much better in school

I think the things we believe and do in life are the ones that determines our mindset. As for me, I have a fixed and a growth mindset.

“The Growth Mindset” by Rona Elisa talks about the difference between people with a fixed mindset and a growth mindset and how to overcome from fixed to growth mindset. People with a fixed mindset believe that their basic traits and skills are permanent and that it is a natural talent. Therefore, they do not challenge themselves in order to avoid any failure situations because they want to prove they are smart. Whereas, people with a growth mindset put the effort in learning to improve their basic qualities and skills. So, when it comes to challenging situations people with a fixed mindset either they try to avoid it or blame others, make up excuses, and/ or criticize in order for them to save their self- worth.

Eduardo Briceno pointed out the two different mindsets in “The Power of Belief--- Mindset and Success” video, the fixed and growth mindsets. A fixed mindset is when people think intelligence or abilities as fixed. Meaning they believe they don’t need to improve on their

On the other hand, mindset is the way you perceive yourself and how your beliefs or ideas affect your decisions in life. Mindset is categorized in two different ways; Fixed and growth. Fixed mindset is the belief that you are born with a certain amount of intelligence and nothing can change that amount. Growth mindset

There are two different mindsets, growth and fixed. The mindset you should have is a growth mindset. It affects the way you learn and act. Many people have the fixed mindset which is not good to have. Adults and kids with a fixed mindset tend to lie and think that intelligence is a natural thing compared to growth mindset who like a challenge and believe that they can get smarter.
