Students with a growth mindset tended to get up again from setbacks and continuously improve academically with added effort, while those with a fixed mindset had a mindset that their abilities is what they are stuck with, they are afraid to further challenge themselves; due to belief that they aren't capable. Dweck had concluded that praising one without any acknowledgement of effort tended to create a fixed mindset while those praised for hard work or effort were more likely to not only feel more confident but still kept trying even if a task was a challenge, making these qualities a growth mindset,…

In addition to these items, one can either have a growth mindset or a fixed mindset. These mindsets play a huge role in one’s success or failure. The mindset has “two meanings to ability, not one: a fixed ability that needs to be proven and a changeable ability that can be developed through learning” and repetition. To sum up, “the fixed mindset makes you concerned with how you’ll be judged; the growth mindset makes you concerned with improving.”…

This skews the saying “natural born leader” and rids it of its validity.…

Your life will become better by making other people’s lives better.” Now what exactly is being growth minded? Holding a growth mindset is believing that intelligence can be developed, that the brain can be grown and strengthened, like a muscle that can be trained. This leads to your desire to improve.…
“Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.” I agree with the quote due to my own personal experiences.

Growth Statement Growing is a process that impacts one greatly what you learn as a result of growing becomes very insightful. Upon taking classes as a new member I can say that the growth I experienced was not an after fact of becoming a member of this church.
