Psychologists studied mindset and found details that can contribute to the way you approach life. A mindset, according to Dictionary.com, is defined as “mindset is the ideas and attitudes with which a person approaches a situation”. Mindset is generally categorized into two groups, Fixed mindset, and Growth mindset. Growth Mindsets grant room for growth, they believe that success is earned. Growth Mindsets like to embrace challenges and learn from criticism, they also find inspiration from the success of others. Students with a Growth Mindset don’t limit their knowledge and intelligence just to succeed in class. These students go beyond and connect their knowledge to their life so they will succeed even when they are far beyond the years of school. Fixed mindsets think that you are born with such talent and that you are in no need for challenges or criticism. Fixed Mindsets view failure as evidence of them being half-witted. In Carol Dweck's study, she mentioned, “Remember that praising children's intelligence or talent, tempting as it, sends a fixed mindset message”.
Children with growth mindset get better grades because they always look for improvement. Children that are praised by their intelligence don’t do as well as the others in the classroom, they believe there already smart and don’t need improvement or try harder to succeed. Our mindsets mold our life together; our brain grows every time we learn something new or get something wrong. That’s why we should keep improving and never be scared of challenges. We learn from our mistakes and improve.
Growth mindsets eventually grow to have a flourished mindset, resembling a flower during spring. A flourishing flower is beautiful and grows like a person with growth mindset growing their brain. Fixed mindsets eventually give up, resembling a dried out flower during the winter. The flower has no sun or water to keep growing and it will begin to die out. The grass can represent the effort one puts in to grow. Every drop of water represents a challenge that a growth mindset person overcame to grow their brain. The soil represents the amount of intelligence one is born with. Fixed mindsets can blame failure on the amount of soil they are given, but the most important parts are the water (challenges overcome) and the amount of grass (effort).
