Growth mindset versus fixed mindset

[Ruttoshi]

Your environment matters a lot on which mindset that you will have. Fixed mindset sees changes as stress and they don't want to try anything new because they think that it will be something stressful to them. They are adamant and they love the way they are i.e they are satisfy with the little that they know and think that they know it all.

However, people with growth mindset are always ready to learn something new a d take advantage of the benefits so that they can improve themselves no matter how hard it will take them to achieve it because they believe that it is possible. They accept changes and listen to people to hear from their own point of view, so see if they can learn something from it.

I fall in growth mindset category and let me tell you as long as you have such mindset you will find learning out of everything and even if you feel demotivated or fail in something you will take it as experience and attempt the same by correcting your mistake.

But the most important thing is the even which trigger a fixed mindset to change as Growth mind set and voice versa. Sometimes a growth mindset has a set back so hard that they almost lose everything and pushed into the category of fixed mindset where they don't experiment or try new things.
 
I would say Growth will never let you down and if it does it will help you to rise again.

Yeah, I got this lesson when I was in my 24th year - "The Constant Learning". Those who get bored with their learning usually tend to stop at the point where the rest of the world moves on however that particular person stops growing. It's simple maths, if the mind is not learning then it is not getting motivated and it gets tangled with the closed box, starts accepting it as its whole universe, and thus ends up in the less progressive circle.

It is very important for us to have a motivated mindset all the time. For me, my parents were the top motivation. They told me to have the learning phase even after my post-graduation. For this reason, I kept my teaching phase active and it helped me a lot throughout my career.

I am not saying this is applicable to only academic phases but it definitely can help in a lot of different sectors. Afterall learning is nothing but activating your dark side to enlighten different skill sets and apply them in everyday life to excel.

It's like in growth mindset, you are willing to learn and in fixed mindset, you are staying in your comfort zone. Having a growth mindset tends to lead to more success. Why? Because along the way, we should see setbacks as stepping stones, not roadblocks and embrace the idea that effort equals improvement. It's like the difference between thinking, "I can't do this," and "I can't do this yet, but I'll get there." Fixed mindset are for those people who are not teachable, it is scary because they dont get along with change.

For those who have a growth mindset, it will be very beneficial for them because they can easily learn new things that can benefit themselves and also they will be able to learn from the experiences they have gone through in whatever case, when someone those with a fixed mindset of course find it very difficult to accept new things and they tend to stick to their own thoughts and it is very difficult to accept input from other people, but people like this can also achieve success in their own way but have to go through a little process. different from those who have a growth mindset.

In having growth mindset, I think that self esteem has a major role to play in the kind of mindset people possess in their daily activities and decisions making patterns.
Lets review the two types of low self-esteem:

Low self esteem: this is the act of having a negative image of yourself, your abilities and your capacities, I don't believe that anybody who already sees himself as not good enough would ever want to take any risk or do something new. Worse of it all, the person will be greatly repulsive in admitting to making mistakes or taking valuable corrections as it increases the negative perception of him / herself. They are generally afraid to engage in something competitive as they always have this image planted in their heads that they have more possibility to fail than to succeed, so they shy away from opportunities. They hardly avail themselves for learning new things cos they constantly victimize themselves for not knowing enough and having to learn. They don't see themselves quality enough to freely engage with people, share ideas in public which leads to open learning and they feel threatened when someone says something of great importance or achieves something noteworthy near them. Limiting their success in life.

High self-esteem this is the exact opposite of the first, high self-esteem means your ability to hold yourself in high regard, thereby leading to having constant positive thoughts about yourself and limiting the negative thoughts that sprouts out of your mind. People with high self-esteem are able to celebrate their strengths, improve on their weakness and are able to attributes their failures as momentary and not permanent. Like a person that has high self-esteem who had a bad day at work can be able to say, "I've had a bad day at work" and not "I am bad at work". Having a high self-esteem enables you to accept yourself them way you are, being ready to challenge your weakness and improve on them , facilitates a happy life and healthy relationships. It increases your chances of having growth mindset as you're constantly feeling good about yourself and are ready to improve yourself thereby giving room to learning, innovation and self-improvement from all angles.

I strongly believe that most people with a growth mindset are products of high self-esteem as you will only be readily available to develop what you feel good about. When you are positive about yourself, you will be ever ready to grow and increase your knowledge, take up challenges and move ahead in life cos you know that no matter the outcome at the end of the day, you will still value and encourage yourself that you are good enough and will do more to get better and this will lead to great success.

Having a growth mindset allows for constant learning and progress. Accepting difficulties, soliciting input, and viewing setbacks as stepping stones to progress are all critical. As you correctly pointed out, the distinction between fixed and development mindsets reflects the influence of one's environment. Choosing to view problems as opportunities for progress may influence not only personal development but also commercial and academic approaches. It's a significant transformation that motivates people toward achievement and fulfillment.

[Miles2006]

In my opinion, people with a growth mindset are very rare to find now in a society where everyone wants to be perfect and outstanding, a growth mindset comes with the willingness to learn from previous mistakes, not giving a damn about people's opinion but always willing to learn, having the ability to adapt to changes.
I believe most people with a fixed mindset is as a result of ignorance and they need to be expose for example what the op listed.
People who have refuse to accept their failure and flaws maybe they're avoiding embarrassment, fear of what the society will say and fear of what other people will think about them. But it's best to learn to be better and grow fast.

CONCLUSION
Since, ones mindset can be changed, it's better for one to develop a growth mindset towards all one's activities in life to achieve a great result. Develop a growth mindset toward all your goals today to improve on your business, studies, etc.

Do you know that there are many people who are okay with what they have already and the achievements they have made that they are not trying to grow and be better. There is a sense of relaxation about pursuing growth when someone become comfortable, comfort is a the wort addiction which can make you remain stunted. Growth is always expected, when someone gets to one level in life, instead of relaxing and getting lost in the comfort, there is a need to still be hungry for growth to another level.

Well, this is actually true on which on the time that you would be finding yourself to be that confident and contented on the current situation you are in, then you wont really be seeking for further more progress or something that do speaks about trying to achieve on something and this is why they would really be just staying on what they are in terms of financial aspect or whatever they are getting involved into.
We know that each person is really that different when it comes to perceptions and goals in life on which there are ones who doesnt really pursue that much because they do know that when it comes to capacity and skills they are really just that good on a certain level and thats the time they would really be deciding on stopping and get contented on what they have.

There are also those people who wont really be stopping until they would really be able to get or achieve their dreams and this is something not bad either. You are the ones who would really be
able to find out whether there's still something that you can do to make yourself way more better or really just simply drawing off that line and telling that it is really that enough.
Fixed or growth mindset then it would really be entirely be depending on someones personality since each person is really that different when it comes to this.

Ones mindset towards your goals may help to determine one's success. Someone with a growth mindset has a great potential to be successful in life. Has he/she will views intelligence, abilities, and talents as learnable and capable of improvement through effort while a fixed mindset views those same traits as inherently stable and unchangeable over time. The below picture will challenge your mindset and also help you determine which mindset you have.

While those who adopt a fixed mindset are more likely to:
👉Believe intelligence and talent are static
👉Avoid challenges to avoid failure
👉Ignore feedback from others
👉Feel threatened by the success of others
👉Hide flaws so as not to be judged by others
👉Believe putting in effort is worthless
👉View feedback as personal criticism
👉Give up easily

Can a person’s mindset change?
Just as someone can grow and develop their intellect, a person is also capable of changing brain functions and their thinking patterns. Therefore, one's mindset can be changed.

How to develop a growth mindset
🧠🧠Realize that, scientifically, you can improve
One of the most direct methods of fostering a growth mindset is by understanding our brains are built to grow and learn. By challenging yourself with new experiences, you can form or strengthen neural connections to ‘rewire’ your brain which, in turn, can make you smarter.

🧠🧠Remove the ‘fixed mindset’ inner voice
Many people have a negative inner voice that acts against a growth mindset. Try to flip thoughts such as ‘I can’t do this’, to ‘I can do this if I keep practicing’ to nurture a growth mindset.

🧠🧠Reward the process
Although society often rewards those who achieve excellent outcomes, this can work against a growth mindset. Instead, reward the process and the effort exerted.

🧠🧠Get feedback
Try and seek feedback on your work. When students are provided with progressive feedback about what they did well and where they can improve, it creates motivation to keep going. Feedback is also associated with a pleasurable dopamine response and enhances a growth mindset.

🧠🧠Get out of your comfort zone
Being brave enough to leave your comfort zone can help foster a growth mindset. When faced with a challenge, try to choose the harder option that will allow you to grow.

🧠🧠Accept failure as part of the process
Failure, setbacks, and initial confusion are all part of the learning process! When trying something new,see occasional ‘failures’ as positive learning opportunities—try to enjoy the discovery process along the way.

CONCLUSION
Since, ones mindset can be changed, it's better for one to develop a growth mindset towards all one's activities in life to achieve a great result. Develop a growth mindset toward all your goals today to improve on your business, studies, etc.

There's a lot of good advice in there, but the odd piece that doesn't make sense - I've never encountered anyone who thinks "intelligence is static". A lot of the traits I see in the "fixed" mindset are what I'd sometimes associate with someone who is stuck in a depressive state of mind or they may feel trapped in a certain situation. If you do not have access to material and knowledge beyond what you know already, it can be hard to improve yourself. Imagine being stuck in a family compound in Saudi Arabia, the limits of your knowledge are often what you can directly access around you - news and internet from a government controlled media that are pushing a certain, often religious tinted, agenda - until you grow up and see other parts of the world you can be confined by that environment.

Growth mindset has been portrayed as something amazing and fixed one is portrayed as a moron here, but I have seen people who have fixed mindset and earn a salary at a company for 40 years and then retire and go on cruise with their spouse and live a happy life, whereas some growth people who wanted more and more, and then ended up crashing and burning and having nothing and maybe even bankrupted beyond repair.

Remember, for every good growth mindset person, there is a bad one waiting around the corner as well, fixed one will not create issues for the world, they will just wake up, shower, go to work, come home, eat dinner, watch tv, and sleep for 40 years in a row. That is the most important thing that you need to keep doing.

This would make sure that you have a life that is not too rich and that is sad I agree, but that doesn't mean that you are a moron like this infographic claims basically, you just prefer not to take risks and make sure you are doing fine.

I think that the successful people have the growth mindsets because someone who's stagnant will never grow and successful like them.

i wouldnt say never. i would say they need a kick up the ass/trigger event to push them. they wont evolve naturally without some impact event of fear of extinction

Yes, you are absolutely correct, and that triggered event could be any of the following; that is,
1. Maybe a person/student is from a poor background, and realizing the fact that if he happens to be in need of anything, he has nobody to assist him, you will notice that such person will be willing to do all kinds of mere jobs, just to afford money to settle bills and make his family proud.

2. Maybe you are a father who's salary is not enough to cartel his entire family bills, you will notice that such people wouldn't mind working an extra hours or night shift, just to make extra income to afford paying bills.. And e.t.c, but just that the decision to change is one thing that person has to be willing and ready to change.

People with growth mindset, pass through different difficulties, but end up achieving their goals. They're not pessimistic about building new skill and trying new business methods that works to improve their customer base. The section, where you, OP, said about rewarding the process is great. Even when the person with a growth mindset fails, they reward themselves. Such treat helps them to reason and perform better next time. A fixed mindset person doesn't appreciate failing. They always want to win to prove a point to the society. So, when failure embraces them, they'll hide behind closed doors and wouldn't want to try again. The differences are clear and growing our mindset in a time like this, is very crucial. As the societal believes of fixed mindset has eaten dip into the thoughts of many individuals. Only a few persons avoids the rat race at all cost. Not minding the criticisms from loved ones; family and friends. Asking numerous questions on why they don't choose to do things like others. Those with fixed mindset, don't listen to their self concept, the words from friends easily influence them. This doesn't mean the growth mindset person, doesn't listen to advise. He winnows them out till he gets the right one, relating to what he wants.

[jrrsparkles]

As an individual, it is okay to do either one of those as long as you are living the life with satisfaction. What we as a society do not recognize is that everyone with the mindset to grow doesn't have the space to execute his ideas and settle with something that he got for various reasons such as the need to stabilize the financial status of the family.

Both have their own pros and cons, we know that everyone of us here are not perfect and dealing with this might still be a problem to many. Though I’m sure we are all working just to achieve financial freedom and a happy life, we can achieve it by slowly doing what we love and be more responsible pilot of your own life. We should understand that we all have different timeline and let’s all choose to be more humble and happy everyday.

i wouldnt say never. i would say they need a kick up the ass/trigger event to push them. they wont evolve naturally without some impact event of fear of extinction

Well, I guess you're right and I am a bit too much with that. Maybe it's better to say that those that are stagnant are unlikely to grow if they will never change their coarse. And those kick ass triggers are likely the people that are putting them down and also the hardship of life, so I agree to you that they need some motivation to do it. But motivations are just like lowkey starters and still it's them that should continue it for themselves.

There's some truth to that, it's just that if we do it carelessly (experimentation), the results are not guaranteed, the people around us might get tired of seeing what we do.
Sometimes in the business world there are ups and downs that drain our energy, even to the point of exhaustion when we see results that are not commensurate with the effort.
In my opinion, it is mental that influences all of that, therefore it is very important for us to pay attention to mental, and it is better to learn more about it.

Every person has different tolerance level mentally. Some are good to the point that even they are so stressed, they can attain to that as much stress as they can. But many that just can't take the heat of mental stress and their mindsets can't even push them to their best because it's just so hard. I know that all of us gone through different scenarios and difficulties and we can understand why some cannot push themselves to be better and why some are doing better when they struggle.

[joniboini]

I know that all of us gone through different scenarios and difficulties and we can understand why some cannot push themselves to be better and why some are doing better when they struggle.

It would be a good idea if schools taught something like this. It is really hard to change a mindset or personality in general if the environment doesn't accommodate them. While it is true that in the end, the person's decision is the key factor, it wouldn't be as bad as if we are encouraged to embrace the growth mindset or other positive things by others.

On the other hand, I believe early childhood is also as important to develop people's personalities, so it is a bit difficult for teachers etc if the parents don't really support it either. I do know some kids that grow up being needlessly pessimistic even though the environment doesn't really encourage that mindset. Hoping there is a trigger later on their life feels a bit RNG.

[bluebit25]

I'm reflecting on what I know about thinking, there are indeed many layers of division to see the level of anyone's thinking.

Know-> Understand-> Manipulate-> Creative

Normally, I think most of us are just at the knowing level, the first level and if we stop at this, then we will be the same as the crowd and there will be no difference. The higher the level, the more it reflects on us as people, but one thing that I think provides an infinite resource for us to be able to learn things is respect for everyone.

A small example that I tested myself on is that I greatly respect Tesla, through whom I have learned more about science. Although I do not admit that my thinking has been upgraded, this motivation will grow as we respect them more.

For those who had chosen on having those kind of growth mindset, they didnt really like on what happened into them just incase they did end up miserable.No one really loves on ending up a failure but you do
actually have a point because there are ones who did decide to take some risks and ending up on their life miserable comparing into those people who had decided to work for company for 30-40 years
but actually this had to do in someones fate. Dont know if people do really believe on fate but we know that there are really things in life which arent for us. Come in mind that even to those people who do have that fixed mindset and sticking into their jobs, there are ones who do able to make themselves way more better ex. job promotion, hitting jackpots or contest or whatsoever on which it did result on making huge money
then this is where it do make their lives so much better. This is why its never been that good on making up some conclusions.

You cant blame out other people on having those kind of growth mindset, who doesnt really like on having that different path on taking up into their lives?
We do all want that kind of progress on which it is really just that normal but of course it would really be needing up that risk taking in exchange.
