This week, I had the opportunity to learn more about the growth mindset, and how it can affect children when they are raised by it, rather than learning about it after high school. The article itself is The Secret to Raising Smart Kids by Carol S. Dweck.
One thing this article confirmed that I had already suspected is that intelligence is something that can be grown and people can continually get smarter by looking at problems as opportunities to improve as opposed to things to avoid.
A new thing that I learned is that a fixed mindset not only discourages work, but in the workplace itself, managers and leaders can decide to be closed minded to constructive criticism and choose not to improve within their team, or to improve their team.
One thing I would like to learn more about is the studies and hard research behind all of these claims and more conclusions that can be drawn from different kinds of studies.
In order to grow this mindset further, I will write down one problem I am having in my life right now, and I will try to see it as a "growing potential" as opposed to a problem.
