Fixed Mindet Vs Growth Mindset

Decent Essays
When people are doing something they either have a fixed mindset or a growth mindset. When you use a fixed mindset you don't think you can improve. You think your skill is just who you are and there is nothing you can do to change it. When you use a growth mindset you know you can get better and do well. You know that if you put in effort, you can get better. People who have fixed mindsets Think that they are the best they will ever be. They think that they were born average. If they play sports they may always be okay but never amazing. They normally dont know they have this mindset and think that this is just the way things are. People who use growth mindsets know that they can get better and that they are never at the top. They know everyone

    There is two different mindsets that people tend to have which is growth or fixed mindset. People with a growth mindset think that success is earned and intelligence can be developed. In the other hand, fixed mindset people think otherwise, for example, they think that people are born with a certain amount of intelligence and you become successful because they were born smart. I do not assume in any way that success comes from innate talent, I know that success comes from the ability to succeed by knowing that you are not born with a certain amount of intelligence. It develops with the effort you put in, furthermore, people become better every time you do fail at something because failure is a motivation to keep trying.…

    In GPS 1010, I have learned that a person’s mindset is established in (1) a particular way of thinking; or (2) a person’s attitude and set of opinions about something.

To sum up, “the fixed mindset makes you concerned with how you’ll be judged; the growth mindset makes you concerned with improving.”…
