Tolstoy has a famous saying: "Knowledge is real knowledge only when it is obtained through active thinking rather than through memory." When I was there, I realized that there was a rare silence.
In each of us, there is huge energy, which is the fixed mindset and the growth mindset. If you can open the eyes of your mind and become aware of your infinite "treasure", you can get everything you need from the treasure house in your heart, thereby making your life more meaningful.
The first recognition of two different thinking modes
1. Fixed thinking mode: It is an inherent habitual thinking mode, which is the kind that follows the old rules and sticks to the rules. The belief that everything is the way it is is an unchanging cognition. A psychological state that only stagnates on the appearance of things but cannot deeply observe the essence of things.
2 Growth mindset: Believing that changes will occur as objective things change. This is a flexible thinking that draws inferences from one example to other cases. If you don't observe it with wisdom, it will be difficult to feel its existence and you will turn a blind eye to it. Growth mindset is no longer stagnant in an inherent closed state, but transcends all conceptual constraints. It is malleable and everything is possible, and it is a psychological state without obstacles.
Second, the difference between the two modes of thinking
1. People with a fixed mindset: believe in themselves too much and ignore their own shortcomings. Want to ensure your own success and try your best to hide your shortcomings. Fixed thinkers believe that failure is destined and there is no possibility of change. The misconception that only incompetent people need to work hard, and that if they need to work hard, they are not good at it. They only focus on results and right and wrong, but are not interested in learning and improvement. They always have a self-reliant and self-admiring mentality and do not communicate and complement each other with the people around them, which in turn restricts the improvement and openness of their own thoughts.
2 People with a growth mindset: They believe that abilities can be developed with an open mind, and believe that they can optimize and improve themselves through hard study. Success means expanding your abilities. I believe that by learning from failures, you can become stronger. Believing that genius comes from hard work, they appreciate talent and advocate hard work. Always pay attention to improving their knowledge level. For them, strengthening learning is the top priority. Growth thinkers use their strengths to improve and optimize themselves by knowing themselves and their enemies and learning from each other's strengths.
The truth about abilities and achievements of the third two thinking modes
1 Fixed thinking mode limits people’s achievements
People with fixed thinking mode disdain and work hard , despising learning methods and not communicating with others. This will prevent them from achieving and growing.
2 A growth mindset helps people develop abilities and achieve success.
People with a growth mindset can clarify their goals, constantly optimize their learning methods and learn from the strengths of others to further improve their abilities and achieve results. Being good at finding patterns and using retreat to advance can help others better.
Fourth, the reflection of thinking mode in different fields
Because those with a growth mindset believe that success can be achieved through hard work. Frustration can give people motivation, experience and lessons, and create growth in adversity. And it can play an inestimable role in sports, business, interpersonal relationships, education and other industries. On the contrary, people with a fixed mindset adopt a negative, lazy, closed, and self-centered approach no matter where they are, causing varying degrees of estrangement and influence on the people and things around them.
The fifth pair of cultivation of growth mindset
1 How to use growth mindset to benefit others
Growth mindset is particularly important for the healthy growth of children . So, how should parents and teachers cultivate children's growth mindset? In mastering the method of praise, guide frustrated children correctly, and pay attention to children's deepening understanding of knowledge. Through these means and methods, children can develop a definite understanding of growth thinking and firmly believe that human abilities have plasticity and unlimited room for development.
2 Four steps towards a growth mindset
Through in-depth observation of the fixed mindset and the growth mindset, you can gain a deep understanding of the pros and cons of the two types of thinking. We raise awareness of thoughts that are harmful to ourselves in our daily studies, and transform them step by step for our own use. We can learn from, absorb, and digest what is beneficial to us, and grow with it in the long term.
(1) Acceptance: First of all, dare to admit, face and accept your own fixed thinking.
(2) Observation: Observe your fixed thinking personality, understand the reasons for its emergence, and analyze and reason.
(3) Naming: Give the fixed mindset a name that is easy to remember. Once this idea appears, it will be corrected.
(4) Education: Observe. When fixed thinking appears, it is transformed into usefulness under your adjustment. For this reason, using the growth mindset to integrate with him and turn it into Taoism is conducive to consolidating the durability of the growth mindset.
The great teacher Marx once said: "There is no smooth road in science. Only those who are not afraid of hard work and climb the steep mountain road can hope to reach the glorious peak."
"Because there are only unimaginable things in the world, but nothing is impossible!
