Growth
has control of self esteem and understands
when practice is need
belief that ones abilities can be developed
through practice
What is the Fixed Mindset?
approaching variety of situations
This is a direct correlation to self esteem because
once they tell themselves they can't do it they either won't or just don't try it at all
This relates back to that fixed is only worrying about the
positive feedback rather then negative which will help you more
fixed often views challenges as an obstacle they
can't get around
growth people are often challenging these
while fixed is looking for the easy way
they often visualize that they can only be flawless
rather than doing a good job and learning from it
How does this differ from growth?
Fixed is ultimate the opposite of growth due to the
characersitcs of whjivch they portray
another aspect is that fixed has the idea that if your already
good at something why work at it? Growth believes in perfecting their craft and you can never stop learning
What is the difference between the fixed and the growth mindset? Why is failure a threat to the self-esteem of people with the fixed mindset, but not the growth mindset? How does this affect motivation to learn?
Main Point-fixed mindset is a belief that your abilties are fixed and cannot change
belief that abilities are set in stone
that you are born with them
your parents pass on traits to you
abilties are permanent from the fixed mindset
ability is like an imoveable object
fixed mindset beleieve that some people have talent
unlike growth they beileve they cannot grow
Idea that someones talent has a capacity
motivation
16- should have a learning drive like toddlers because
they are just interested n learning and do not care about failure
This is difficult because it will be hard to find it when you are not challenging yourself. this is why growth people are more likely to be more motivated
fixed idea of motivation is hard becausethey often do
tasks that are relatively easy to complete, requires little to no challenge.

Lack of confidence/ego is a aspect where fixed st
struggles due to the idea that you tell yourself your already not going to succeed 1-3
This is different from the growth perspective beca
they understand failure and know how to cope with it

set due to the ability of not responding to failure/adversity

fixed people often believe these are set and ca
be changed 6-7
