After carefully reading a famous book, you must have a lot to share, and you need to write a review of what you have gained. How should you write your thoughts after reading? Below are my thoughts on reading "Lifelong Growth", I hope it can help everyone. Thoughts on reading "Lifelong Growth" 1
No matter what time period, people should grow throughout their lives. "Live until you are old and learn until you are old" is a must for modern people to adapt to the fast-paced development of the times. There is no end to learning! People come into this world to complete the process of self-life growth. Being a human requires endless learning, and the growth of personality is also endless.
In fact, everyone’s IQ is similar, but the difference is in people’s thinking patterns. That is to say, there are two modes of thinking proposed in the book, one is the fixed mode of thinking and the other is the growth mode of thinking. People with a fixed mindset believe that intelligence is innate and fixed, and do things to prove their talents and abilities, so they are afraid of making mistakes and feel that it is a denial of their abilities; people with a growth mindset believe that intelligence is an acquired effort. Learning can be improved and achieved. In order to continuously improve one's abilities, one will regard mistakes and challenges as opportunities for growth and improvement, have an overall view, and will constantly look forward.
In fact, these two states are present in everyone. What we need to do is to reduce fixed thinking, stimulate our awareness of growth thinking in the process of continuous growth, and deliberately train to face our lives with growth thinking, so that we can achieve fewer and fewer negative emotions. And positivity will rise. 'Smartness comes from hard work, and genius comes from accumulation.' However, people's thinking mode does not develop overnight, but is a process of accumulation over the years. An attitude and method of thinking and doing things are gradually formed, and there is no doubt that they are accustomed to it. Driven by this kind of thing, few people can deeply self-aware and think about everything they do. Most of the time, they think and do things habitually, and their thinking patterns are also habitual.
I think I belong to two types of thinking. I am more chauvinistic in life. I feel that women should solve the chores in the family, but men still need to make decisions on more important matters. So I don’t have to think about ordinary trivial matters at home. However, at work, I am more rational, that is, my thinking mode is different. I put aside all trivial matters to study and improve my self-awareness. I also have different opinions from my family when it comes to educating children. My original intention is to adopt a persuasive education method instead of beating and scolding education. I want to give children free space to think and learn, so that they can slowly develop autonomy and self-awareness. Not add-on indoctrination. In fact, this is also a necessary process for a person to grow up, but the way of expression is different.
Some people say that the best gift parents can give their children is self-growth. This sentence is very true. Children need to grow, and parents also need to grow. Especially adults, it is easy to be stubborn and think that I am already an adult and I am just educating my children and helping them grow. In fact, children also help you grow to a certain extent. The characteristic of growth aesthetics is belief in the cumulative effect. People who hold a fixed view of life are essentially just looking for reasons and excuses for refusing to change. Believe in development and change, it is easy to form positive feedback, and weak advantages can gather into a tower. The world of success comes from the trigger of a butterfly waving its wings. This is the secret of growth.
Growth is a lifelong matter for everyone, and it has nothing to do with age. At any time, stagnant growth is the most terrifying form of aging. Thoughts after reading "Lifelong Growth" 2
At the end of the book "Lifelong Growth", the author Dr. Carol Dweck discusses the journey required to achieve a growth mindset.
The book analyzes cases in the fields of education, sports, business, interpersonal relationships, etc., compares the differences between fixed mindset and growth mindset, and tells us about the differences in achievements between people, in the face of challenges and failures The performance is very different, which is actually due to different thinking modes. Even in the relationship between husband and wife, our thinking mode is actually at work.
A fixed mindset makes people more likely to care about others’ judgments of themselves, and they are more willing to put themselves in a comfortable position of “competent, excellent, and smart”. For this reason, they often avoid challenges and further improve their abilities. Such people are prone to despair when faced with setbacks and failures, thinking that they are losers.
The growth mindset believes that people’s abilities are not static, but can be developed and improved through hard work. The difference from fixed thinking is that growth thinking pays more attention to finding ways and strategies rather than just evaluation. Facing failures and setbacks, it is easier to learn from them and continuously improve your abilities.
Nowadays, "mourning" may be the most appropriate adjective to describe the state of many young people most of the time. Losing goals and hope is decadence and despair. It is self-denial. It is a state of understanding the twists and turns of the road ahead and still being unable to change after working hard. You are trapped in your own incompetence and feel deeply powerless.
In addition to the cruelty of reality, have we ever thought that this may be caused by our fixed thinking?
You may say that I am a person with a growth mindset and believe that people’s abilities can be improved. I have worked hard. But after we experience failure, we think that our abilities have reached the limit and we think that we are a loser; after we work hard and still fail, we think that the effort is useless and eventually give up our efforts. If so, it may be a misunderstanding of what a true growth mindset is.
A true growth mindset does place more emphasis on hard work, but hard work does not mean using "brute force", nor is it a "placebo" shot when failure occurs. The meaning of "effort" in the growth mindset includes simple diligence and hard work, as well as finding strategies and methods to improve abilities and achieve goals through various channels. During this process, you may need to listen to other people's suggestions and learn skills from them.
However, we don’t have to panic about our fixed thinking. The book "Lifelong Growth" says that in fact, fixed thinking and growth thinking are not absolutely opposite. They often exist in the same person's brain at the same time. It's just that in certain situations, everyone will activate fixed thinking for the purpose of protecting self-esteem and affirming themselves.
In other words, there is no need to feel like a failure when we discover that we have a tendency to have a fixed mindset. Don’t forget, author Carol Dweck reminds us that in order to grow, we must learn to cultivate a growth mindset. The first step in cultivating a growth mindset is to firmly believe in "change".
The book "Lifelong Growth" permeates the belief of "change" into various fields. Carol Dweck not only explains what a growth mindset is and its positive impact on our lives, work, and even educating our children, but more importantly, he puts this perspective into various life scenarios to help readers , analyze, and explore ways to get out of the predicament.
Some people say that "Lifelong Growth" is just a big pot of chicken soup. In fact, it is not the case. The content in the book made me understand that learning a growth mindset is not just for the so-called "success". It can actually help people cope with the daily trivialities of life, so as to learn to continue to grow, gain the powerful ability and energy to improve themselves and break through "mourning". In fact, the joy of reading successful books is sometimes like this. More than 80% of the chicken soup may be poisonous, but there is always some essence that can be summarized and comprehended by peeling off the cocoons. Thoughts after reading "Lifelong Growth" 3
People should grow and learn throughout their lives, live to old age, live to old age, no matter what era. Of course, this is also a necessity for modern people to adapt to the fast-paced development of the times. There is no end to learning. People come to this world to complete their own life growth. Being a human being requires a lifetime of learning, and there is no end to the growth of personality.
But as a person, growth in a certain period seems to be more important. For example, the construction of a person’s character, a person’s thinking mode, and values. The construction of these things in childhood is far more important than that in adulthood. It’s easy, but it’s a fact that children with wrong education are more difficult to deal with than children without education. Therefore, the growth of certain things in a person has a time limit and a sensitive period. If you catch it, you will get twice the result with half the effort. If you miss it, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
This book talks about two thinking modes, fixed thinking mode and growth thinking mode. He affirms that each of us has two thinking modes, but a certain person has a certain kind of thinking. It is also possible or common for patterns to dominate.
Have you ever noticed that some of our adults can learn and change quickly, while others find it difficult? This is not just a matter of learning ability and methods. Some people have an open mind and flexible thinking, while others have a closed mind and rigid thinking, and it is not easy to absorb new knowledge. This is a kind of thinking mode.
In today’s society or in any era, whether people can grow well is something worthy of attention. How to cultivate people with a growth mindset so that they can benefit and grow actively throughout their lives. This is a very important matter, and it is also a matter worthy of attention in education. The purpose of education is not to teach, but how to give people the ability to grow throughout their lives. A good thinking model is worth cultivating. This is also the reason for parents and teachers. Well worth doing.
Lifelong Growth explores and talks about the different manifestations of growth mindset and fixed mindset from various angles, allowing us to understand what is fixed mindset and what is growth mindset, and opens up a new world for us. This perspective of understanding and the opportunity for self-examination also allow us to understand the correct way to do some things, and also understand the difference that growth thinking brings to all aspects of our lives. It is very detailed and detailed. At the end of each chapter of the book, it provides and helps us cultivate our own growth mindset. It is a good psychological science book. It is a blessing to meet you. It also opens a more important perspective for self-growth and education. Something as important as thinking mode has a very important impact on us, but we do not have this scientific perspective to see and think in our daily life, let alone cultivate ourselves and use it in education.
One of the most important requirements for people is self-discovery and self-growth, so psychological science is actually a very important tool for everyone. Scientific self-discovery, scientific self-growth, and scientific education are another new content of the development of this era. This book is such a very important book and is worth reading by everyone. It is of positive significance to oneself and the growth of children.
Some people say that the best gift parents can give their children is self-growth. This sentence is very true. Children need to grow, and parents also need to grow, especially adults who are easily stereotyped and feel that they are already adults and are only educating their children and helping them grow. In fact, children also help you grow to a certain extent. Therefore, parents must also You should pay attention to your own growth, and hope that more people will benefit from this book. Thoughts after reading "Lifelong Growth" 4
I have always believed that praising children for their intelligence and talent is the best encouragement for children. As long as they work hard, they can succeed. I have always believed that as long as they instill enough spiritual power in their children, Chicken soup can help them grow. We even think that only success means you are better than others and have self-esteem. We think that as a manager, maintaining the groupthink of the team is king... After reading "Lifelong Growth" Found out, that’s not the case!
Telling a child that he is very smart will turn the child into a liar; chicken soup for the soul cannot really transform children into practical actions, because there is something wrong with their basic thinking mode; as a manager, if Blindly encouraging groupthink will only cause the entire decision-making system to get into trouble...
To be honest, when I first read this book, I was not very enthusiastic. I felt that it was not a book that I was very interested in or willing to read. Just flip through it casually, but the more you read, the more you realize: that’s not the case. It is truly "Everyone who reads will gain something."
Growth mindset is a relatively fashionable concept in the education industry in recent years. Carol Dweck said: After long-term observation, we have found that people who develop well often have different thinking patterns, different from those who are afraid of challenges and people who are afraid of being different. She found that some people are more inclined to a growth mindset, believing that their abilities improve through hard work and good strategies, as well as various other learning styles (people with a growth mindset are not afraid of making mistakes).
While others are more inclined to have a fixed mindset. They believe that a person's abilities are innate and are fixed after childhood, and they are powerless to make changes.
So is a person’s success determined by his intelligence? Dweck's research shows that people with a fixed mindset will give up when they encounter problems that they think their intelligence cannot solve, and they are afraid of challenges if they fail and look stupid, so they choose a safer and more conservative route. And those children who are often praised for their hard work will not stop in the face of difficulties because they believe that they can solve problems and develop their own abilities and talents through their own efforts.
As the saying goes, thinking determines destiny. So how can we cultivate a child’s growth mindset? How can we turn children into "hard-workers" and eventually become winners in life? The author said that it is the praise of adults that determines the way children think. In other words, the formation of thinking patterns is learned by children from adults. If adults praise you for being smart, it will produce more fixed thinking, because it makes you feel that being smart is very important, and because my smartness is The fundamental reason why they love me or respect me, so I should act smart no matter what.
On the contrary, if the focus of praise is the child's learning process. Then children are often willing to accept various challenges and try different strategies to solve problems, and hard work and perseverance will enable us to acquire more growth mindsets. In other words, we are not opposed to a person's intelligence, but we should pay more attention to the child's learning process. Of course you can praise success, but you should also talk with your children about how success happened. This should be what we often call process-focused rather than results-focused. Is the child focused during the process? Has he practiced? Do they enjoy learning? Was there perseverance in the process until a solution was found?
As for the different processes of praising, it is actually not difficult at all. But in our actual operation, a more difficult problem is how to deal with failure. The author's research shows that how parents deal with their children's failures affects the formation of their children's thinking patterns. So how should we use failure to help children develop a growth mindset? Many children who are praised by their parents for being smart may achieve excellent results, but they do not necessarily dare to challenge themselves. They are not necessarily resilient when facing challenges. Many children need to take anti-anxiety or even anti-depressant drugs even at a young age, and some children are so fragile that they choose to end their young lives. So we really need to. Pay more attention to the learning process, the joy of learning and effective learning.
Outside the family, just like the author’s own experience, teachers’ practices will have a huge impact on students’ thinking. During the research process, the author and his assistants did a lot of work on schools and teachers to help them understand growth thinking, and strive to no longer become the sole focus of the classroom on performance and ability, so that children can value learning and enjoy the learning process. . But there is no doubt that this process will be difficult in actual implementation, not easy at all. Because we tend to fall into the misunderstanding of simply praising effort, and simply praising effort cannot cultivate a growth mindset, because we need to see whether the effort is effective, or even more, whether the effort exists. If it is inefficient or even fake effort, it is actually very inappropriate to simply praise the effort at this time.
The author also has a more novel point of view. She believes that teachers who make mistakes in the process are actually better able to cultivate a growth mindset. Teachers with a growth mindset regard themselves as people who make mistakes. I also make mistakes, and I naturally allow my students to make mistakes. In this way, teachers will regard themselves as resources that children rely on and as students' collaborators. Instead of simply testing and evaluating children, such teachers are full of enthusiasm for exploration and constantly explore how to help students learn. They will pay great attention to those students who have made progress compared with themselves, and guide them in a timely and correct manner to slowly make more progress. Big victory.
The author also tries to promote growth thinking on a large scale outside of schools, and her approach helps promote educational equity. She believes that good grades should be a by-product of effective learning and come from a deep and effective learning process. Our goal is to make every child an effective learner. People with a growth mindset think that doing well in exams does not mean they are smart. Children with a growth mindset will think that exams are just a test of what they currently know. Of course, this is not the case here. Say grades are not important.
In addition, the author believes that the best time to cultivate a growth mindset is in childhood, and then right now. How can we use the authors' findings to maximize our benefit?
There are no exceptions in life, and each of us may encounter failure. It is normal for us to feel frustrated sometimes. The author said that she chose to embrace failure and keep learning. This has become the author's research topic and her philosophy of life. She broke the shackles of traditional fixed thinking and provided a good guide for us adults to educate our children.
From a growth mindset perspective, if a child’s performance in a certain subject is not satisfactory, we will rate him as having failed, rather than failing the exam. This will give the child a great encouragement and let him know clearly that my study is not yet a result. The pace of my study has not stopped, and I still need to gradually move forward to strive for the future.
After decades of studying success, Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck has given us a rich gift, as he says at the beginning of the introduction to this book: This is a book that will make life better.
"Lifelong Growth" can really help us grow! Thoughts after reading "Lifelong Growth" 5
I feel ashamed to say that since I went to Ningde to participate in a training activity on May 12th, I returned the books and have been reading the book "Lifelong Growth" one after another. So far I have only Watched four out of five.
I feel very stupid. I have almost finished reading the book. It is difficult to summarize what the whole book is about.
The book "Lifelong Growth" is written by American Professor Carol Dweck. Professor Carol Dweck is recognized as one of the leading scholars in the fields of personality, social and developmental psychology. This book illustrates the power of mindset. She shows in this book that our success is not determined by ability and talent, but is more affected by the mindset we display in pursuing our goals. She introduced two modes of thinking: fixed and growth, which embody the two basic mindsets when dealing with success and failure, achievements and challenges.
During the reading process, I checked myself while reading and found that I may be in a fixed mindset more often, but sometimes I also have a growth mindset. Let’s take the matter of keeping a diary as an example. Writing is my weakness, even the most troublesome thing, but I believe that persistence is victory. I believe that writing every day will improve my writing ability and make me more sensitive to words. As long as I work harder than ordinary people, in the end Will get results. Especially every time I want to give up, every time I have nothing to say, my thinking mode is more inclined to the growth mindset. But I feel that the intersection of the two modes has restricted my growth. After reading this book, when I deal with things now, I will unconsciously think about whether my way of dealing with things and my thoughts have fallen into a fixed thinking pattern. This is probably the biggest change in myself after reading this book.
Dweck’s success rules have been applied by many parents, teachers, athletes and managers with a developmental perspective and have been verified in practice. By understanding their own thinking patterns and making changes, people can in the simplest way develop a passion for learning and the stress resistance needed to succeed in any field.
As a teacher, I feel that I should have a growth mindset, and be proficient in Professor Dweck’s rules of success, and apply it to education and teaching, so that I can cultivate more students. outstanding students.
However, "the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change." No, when I think about it this way, I fall into a fixed mindset again. I should think like this: everyone will gain something through hard work. I should work hard and work harder. I should teach students to love learning, teach them to eventually learn to study and think by themselves, and work hard to learn basic knowledge. As Esquith said: There are no shortcuts. Collins also said: There are no miracles here, and I am no miracle worker. I cannot walk on water, nor can I split the sea in the middle. I just have to love you students and work harder than anyone else, and I'm sure you will do the same. They told me that if I want to educate students successfully, I can only love these students and work harder. It happens to coincide with my original intention of education: to do my best to contribute to education.
Many educators believe that it is possible to lower standards so that students can experience success, increase their self-confidence, and improve their achievement. I have never thought so. I think we should set high standards for students from the beginning, and then educate students to move closer to high standards. I think management is the same. For a newly formed team, we must set high standards from the beginning. Maybe team members cannot meet such requirements all at once. We can give them more encouragement and be more tolerant when they fail to meet such requirements, but we must I believe that with hard work, things will get better and better. But if you are lax from the beginning, it will be too late to correct problems when they arise and are discovered.
This book will be very useful for my future education and teaching. After reading this book, I will read it a second time. Maybe I will have a deeper understanding after reading it the second time. Thoughts after reading "Lifelong Growth" 6
When I was a child, I heard people often say "live until you are old and learn until you are old", but I did not understand this sentence deeply until I encountered "Lifelong Growth" , I realized that growth is a lifelong thing for everyone. No matter when, stagnant growth is the most terrifying aging.
Now, I am no longer young, and I have reached the point where I don’t want to grow old too fast. Looking back on most of my life, I often use the sentence pattern "If only..., I would...". Because, I have personally experienced:
1. Although people have different innate talents, qualifications, and personalities, they can all be changed through hard work and experience.
2. Although failure is painful, it is just a problem that you need to face and solve. You can benefit from failures and setbacks and make yourself stronger.
3. No one is always successful. Success means expanding one’s abilities, which requires continuous learning.
The book "Lifelong Growth" analyzes the brain waves of people with different thinking patterns from a physiological level, and discusses from a scientific perspective that learning is the first priority.
People who have clear goals, constantly optimize their learning methods, and are willing to learn from their peers will have higher academic performance. They pay attention to learning methods, are good at finding learning patterns, and can learn from their mistakes; even if they perform poorly in a certain test, they will try to catch up next time. Setbacks can give people motivation, experience and lessons to make you better. Success comes from learning, hard work and self-improvement.
If such people serve as leaders, their world will be filled with brightness, tolerance and positive energy. Whether they view themselves or others, they believe that people have potential for development. For them, running the company is not to highlight superiority, but to promote the growth of themselves, their employees and the entire enterprise.
If a person reaches such a state, facing inevitable aging, he will surely be rejuvenated, right? Because, every day, for him, contains new hope and is full of infinite possibilities. Thoughts after reading "Lifelong Growth" 7
I have always believed that self-examination is a knowledge that needs to be carried out all the time and throughout life.
Now that I am 17 years old, the biographies of famous people that I have been familiar with since I was a child, and even the truths in fables and famous quotes, structure my "three views". But I often find that there is no certainty or uniqueness in almost everything.
"Lifelong Growth" is a book by American writer Carol Dweck. The book mainly discusses two modes of thinking: fixed thinking and growth thinking. The author uses the example of speaking in class to give a general explanation of the meaning and difference between these two kinds of thinking: People who dare to speak in class will think: "I express my opinions so that the teacher can discover my problems and help me solve them." Question." They generally don't think about their own embarrassment and the laughter of their classmates after giving the wrong answer. This is a person with a growth mindset. On the contrary, people with a fixed mindset do not accept other people's opinions, and are even afraid of others pointing out their own problems and remain stubborn.
I think self-examination can be classified as a growth mindset.
In the past, in my understanding, one side of things must be wrong and the other side is right. Even if there are no clear theoretical boundaries, there will be good and evil perceptually. But in today's society, "the old man fell to the ground, "Passers don't help me", it may be because I'm afraid that the old man will "touch porcelain"; "The shop owner angrily beats a primary school student", it may be "the naughty child poured Coke on the piano"... These things continue to refresh my understanding, and I think the solution is The "general strategy" for many things - thinking from someone else's perspective cannot lead to accurate solutions.
When I tried to wake up after falling into the "misunderstandings" of the "clients", I realized that many problems were not solved properly because of the lack of cognition in certain aspects on both sides of the "clients". Just like when I was a child, my mother and teachers told me to be willing to help others, so I would help my grandfather push the cart without first thinking about whether my grandfather was a bad person. I thought it was right to help others, so I would do it. The more you know, the more concerns you have. The general criterion for choosing later is to consider your own interests.
Growth requires us to widely understand and learn to accept, but we must not be too idealistic and look at problems and ourselves from an objective perspective. At the same time, you should always maintain a humble attitude and be good at accepting other people's opinions in order to better self-improvement. I think everyone who has given me suggestions and pointed out problems deserves thanks. They have enabled me to discover my own problems and continuously improve. It's just that you must be good at distinguishing other people's evaluations, correct them if they are correct, and encourage them if they are not.
Life is changing rapidly, and we need to always examine ourselves and remain humble.
