9 Quotes by Carol Dweck

If life were one long grade school, women would be the undisputed rulers of the world.

Praising children's intelligence harms their motivation and it harms their performance.

An organization might embody a fixed mindset, conveying that employees either 'have it' or they don't: We called this a 'culture of genius.' Or it might embody more of a growth mindset, conveying that people can grow and improve with effort, good strategies, and good mentoring: We call this a 'culture of development.

Beware of success. It can knock you into a fixed mindset.

I expected differences among children in how they coped with the difficulty, but I saw something I never expected.Confronted with the hard puzzles, one then-year-old boy pulled up his chair, rubbed his hands together, smacked his lips, and cried out, :I love a challenge!".I never though anyone loved failure.Not only weren't they discouraged by failure, they didn't even think they were failing. They though they were learning.

Even in the growth mindset, failure can be a painful experience. But it doesn't define you. It's a problem to be faced, dealt with, and learned from.

Think about what you want to look back and say. Then choose your mindset.
