1.The Author is Maria Popova and the main theory she poses for the article is “Why presence is more important than praise”, in my own words, I believe it to be why people strive for more in failure than those who believe in fixed success. 2. A fixed mindset is a set thought process that believes our being, personality, wisdom, and talent are all unchanging facts about our life, an inherent birth right. For example, I believe that some artists who create art believe their way is the only way to success. They believe the way they draw or how art is meant to look leaves no room for innovation today, that what can be considered innovation is a lowly doodle/insult. 3. A growth mindset is a progressive mindset that hungers for failure, lessons …show more content…

With the fixed and growth mindset, the article has made me think of the conflict between the two ideas. Right now, in life, I want to keep a certain order in my daily routine, this comfort bubble that growth desire comes in when I want to find ways to change this and I have been slowly. This conflict I have hinders both parties making it difficult to decide on any revolution. I can only imagine the result being changed if I find some friend who pushes my boundaries, how I am. These types of people would set a bar I myself can’t imagine because it’s happened time and time again. I’ve grown somewhat independent of this for my own well-being, but a helping hand never

    It is crucial to have a growth mindset as it allows individuals to believe that they possess the ability to learn and hone skills throughout their lives. In her book, Tara shares how she was initially raised with an unyielding belief system that deemed education unnecessary; this led her to develop a fixed mindset early on. Her family's beliefs about predetermined destinies barred Tara from getting formal schooling opportunities, which naturally solidified such views within herself even more so. However, once she began gaining access to academic resources later down the line - despite not having much prior training or experience - Tara started unlocking parts of herself impacted by those limiting thoughts before: “I am not the same person I was. I am not even the same person I was supposed to be.

    There are two known mindsets, a fixed mindset, and a growth mindset. The two may sound similar, but they are quite different. A growth mindset is a good mindset; it allows you to believe in yourself, it lets you try new things, and it helps you never give up. On the other hand there is the fixed mindset; this mindset is one that everyone has on some part or aspect of their life. A fixed mindset, as it sounds, makes your thoughts stay fixed about something; for example if someone is not good at math they might say that they are not a math person.

    This growth mindset is based on the belief that your basic qualities are things you can cultivate through your efforts” (p.76). This is basically describing how people with growth mindsets will look at at what skill/ talent they have in the beginning (whether great or small) is not their limitation but what they grow from to get to where they could go. One example of this was my personal experience in my very first hip hop class when I was 11. Being the youngest and most inexperienced, it was easy to be intimidated. Not being used to this type of movement and groove, I learned the steps but kept looking down, biting my lip and overall not focusing on every part of movement so if an arm was extended out completely while doing footwork, I focused on perfecting the footwork too much and had a bent arm.

If the bird had a fixed mindset, the bird may have felt like a loser and might have given up. “In other words, they’d see what happened as a direct measure of their competence and worth,” (Dweck, 2006). Of course, the fact that the bird has a growth mindset does not mean that he was not upset or disappointed. In fact, when the other birds were laughing and mocking him, he was sad.

    The growth mindset believes that their potential intelligence comes from learning, while the fixed mindset thinks they only have a certain amount of intelligence. Along with their differences in learning, these students also have a difference in school priorities. The students with the fixed mindset only cared how smart they would appear and turned down opportunities that were critical to their success. Students with the growth mindset thought about their efforts, and when they work harder it will show in their abilities and accomplishments. I agree with this because everyone will react differently to a setback, especially if they already react differently to education.
