Fixed vs. Growth: The Two Basic Mindsets That Shape Our Lives

[russel]

"Why waste time proving over and over how great you are, when you could be getting better? Why hide deficiencies instead of overcoming them? Why look for friends or partners who will just shore up your self-esteem instead of ones who will also challenge you to grow? And why seek out the tried and true, instead of experiences that will stretch you? The passion for stretching yourself and sticking to it, even (or especially) when it’s not going well, is the hallmark of the growth mindset. This is the mindset that allows people to thrive during some of the most challenging times in their lives."

Bra artikel och taget ur boken Mindset: The New Psychology of Success som är skriven av Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck.

Lite härlig mysläsning när tillfället ges..
