Have you ever wondered: Why do some people feel stuck and give up when faced with the same difficulties, while others see it as an opportunity to learn and move forward?
This difference does not come from external circumstances but originates from the mindset within.
1. The concept of "Growth Mindset" and "Fixed Mindset"
The concept of Growth Mindset and Fixed Mindset was initiated by Carol S. Dweck - Professor of Psychology at Stanford University. In 2006, in the research work Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, she pointed out how beliefs about intelligence and ability shape the entire personal development journey. Accordingly:
- Fixed Mindset: The belief that intelligence and ability are fixed, innate, and almost impossible to change.
- Growth Mindset: The belief that intelligence and ability can be changed and developed through effort and continuous learning.
Discovering Growth Mindset and Fixed Mindset has created a turning point in recognizing and evaluating the potential and development journey of each person.
2. Identifying Growth Mindset and Fixed Mindset
Fixed Mindset – Barrier hindering development
-
Belief: Intelligence and ability are innate and cannot be changed.
-

-

Growth Mindset – Seed of infinite potential
