The document discusses the concept of "grit", which involves impulse control, motivation, and perseverance. It references the marshmallow test which measures a child's ability to delay gratification. Researchers are interested in grit because it is linked to success, but also how to cultivate grit in children. Having a growth mindset, viewing challenges as opportunities to improve, is connected to developing grit. The document provides tips for parents and teachers to promote a growth mindset in kids, such as praising effort over innate ability and modeling a growth mindset themselves.
Mindsets are your beliefs and they affect your life and your success in business and your life.
Do you let failure or success define your life, or do you view them as opportunities? Do you view your qualities carved in stone and that you will have to prove yourself over and over and over or that the view you adopt for yourself profoundly affects the way you lead your life.
Do you view your life as a test or as a journey.
Mindset for Achievement: How to Boost Achievement and Fulfillment Through Min...BayCHI
Carol Dweck at BayCHI, May 11, 2010: Mindset is a simple idea discovered by world-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck in decades of research on achievement and success—a simple idea that makes all the difference. In a fixed mindset, people believe their basic qualities, like their intelligence or talent, are simply fixed traits. They spend their time documenting their intelligence or talent instead of developing them. Dweck's research also shows that praising intelligence can harm motivation by creating a fixed mindset. People also tend to believe that talent alone creates success—without effort. They're wrong. In a growth mindset, people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work—brains and talent are just the starting point. This view creates a love of learning and a resilience that is essential for great accomplishment. Virtually all great people have had these qualities. Teaching a growth mindset creates motivation and productivity in the worlds of business, education, and sports.

Years of research provide concrete data that when we struggle with problems, we actually grow. When you grapple with problems, you make new neural connections which makes you smarter.
Most people believe personality traits are fixed characteristics that are present at birth and persist throughout an individual’s lifetime. Recent research, however, indicates these “fixed” traits are simply the symptoms of a person’s belief system. These beliefs can be so strong, in fact, that they positively or negatively influence every aspect of an individual’s life: sports, business, relationships, parenting, teaching, and coaching.
According to Carol S. Dweck, one of the world’s leading researchers in the field of motivation, there are two main belief systems, or mindsets, that people can possess. These mindsets strongly influence the way individuals respond to success and failure, and in Mindset, Dweck uses research, examples of well-known business and sports leaders, and specific scenarios to demonstrate how changing one’s mindset can profoundly affect the outcome of almost every situation. Dweck also explains how understanding the basics of mindsets can help in accepting and understanding relationships and the people who comprise them

Carol Dweck states that “Individuals with a fixed mindset believe that their intelligence is simply an inborn trait—they have a certain amount, and that's that. In contrast, individuals with a growth mindset believe that they can develop their intelligence over time” (Blackwell, Trzesniewski, & Dweck, 2007; Dweck, 1999, 2007).
Growth Mindset- What is growth mindset? What is difference between fixed mindset and growth mindset? How to develop growth mindset? Carol S. Dweck (born October 17, 1946) is the Lewis and Virginia Eaton Professor of Psychology at Stanford University-Growth mindset- “the people who maybe didn’t have an image to uphold, didn’t feel the weight of other people’s expectations, and just followed their passions and developed their abilities.”
Your Thinking Is The Driving Force Behind Your Success
A Success Mindset consists of several qualities.
You have the ability to grow and develop these qualities,
just as you would any muscle or skill.
A mindset refers to whether you believe qualities such as intelligence and talent are fixed or changeable traits.
People with a fixed mindset believe that these qualities are inborn, fixed, and unchangeable.
Those with a growth mindset, on the other hand, believe that these abilities can be developed and strengthened by way of commitment and hard work.

Mindset by Carol Dweck synthesized by Deepak JayaramanDeepak Jayaraman
Mindset is a book that has influenced me at multiple levels. Carol talks about having either a Fixed Mindset or a Growth Mindset as we think about parenting, relationships, leadership, sport and a host of other situations in life. The attached slides are my attempt at distilling the key lessons from the book.
A one-page summary of the key differences between the fixed mindset and the growth mindset (concepts developed by Prof Carol Dweck from Stanford University).
Growth mindset has been shown to be significantly predictive of long-term success in a variety of areas, including acedemic success.
* Perseverance is commitment, hard work, patience, endurance.
* Perseverance is being able to bear difficulties calmly and without complaint.
* Perseverance is trying again and again.

There’s a saying, “mindset is everything.” Why everything? Because it dictates the actions and the results that you get. As a self-publisher, if you don’t work with the right mindset, it will be hard to find success because your own thought process may be holding you back, guiding you in the wrong direction.
Mindset is an established set of attitudes and beliefs that you’re holding. Some mindsets help you become more productive and get greater results, while some might be stealing your time and ruining your business. So if you want to succeed, you need to learn the mindsets you should hold onto. Here are 10 mindsets of successful authors.

The benefits of iterative failure THAT conference 2018Lauren Liss
As design thinkers, we must focus on the process and not just the end goal. This presentation will address the benefits of creating environments that allow teams to take risks and fail; through this failure, they become more resilient, more realistic, and more accountable. In turn, their future work is more thoughtful and they have a greater ability to be nimble, collaborate, and pivot away from ineffective ideas.
1. GRIT
“It’s supposed to be hard. If it wasn’t hard,
anyone would do it. It’s the hard that makes
it great.” A League of Their Own
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndL7y0MIRE4
4. Why are marshmallows important?
• How do you cope with that
uncomfortable feeling?
• Can impulse control be taught? What
about motivation and perseverance?
• Researchers agree that grit is important
but how do we (and our kids) get
grittier?
6. We all know that this message is harmful,
but what about the opposite message?
7. “Effort is for those who don’t have ability.”
Telling kids they’re smart makes them
more likely to avoid a challenge
8. Growth Mindset Grit
• Grit is natural practice of someone who
has a growth mindset: “If I work hard I
can get better at x, y or z so let’s get to
work.”
• “This is too hard” v. “I love a challenge!”
• Kids who view a challenge as a test of
their worth aren’t able to relish a
challenge.
9. But isn’t it more complicated
than being gritty or gritless?
Turn to someone near you and share:
• An area of your life you feel really “gritty” at
• An area of your life that makes you feel
“gritless”
12. Shifting the way we look at problems
So many parents have said to me, “I can’t stand to see my child
unhappy.” If you can’t stand to see your child unhappy, you are
in the wrong business. The small challenges that start in
infancy (the first whimper that doesn’t bring you running)
present the opportunity for “successful failures,” that is,
failures your child can live with and grow from. To rush in too
quickly, to shield them, to deprive them of those challenges is
to deprive them of the tools they will need to handle the
inevitable, difficult, challenging and sometimes devastating
demands of life. --NY Times article: “Raising Successful Children”
22. How do parents and teachers
encourage growth mindset?
• Ask kids: when do you feel smart—when it’s
easy or when you’re learning?
• Praise effort and work habits, not ability or
grades
• Remember that valuing speed and perfection
can hinder difficult learning
• Model a growth mindset in our own lives
24. How can our community promote a
growth mindset?
• High standards and nurturing environment
• It feels safe to explore and fail
• Kids are encouraged to hear criticism and
learn from it
• Losing well and winning well are valued
• Not “judge-and-be-judged” but “learn-and-
help-learn”
25. Gritty stuff kids need help with
• Learning to enjoy something they don’t want
to do—capitalize on their strengths to help
with this
• Understanding how to break things down into
manageable chunks so they can learn to do it
for themselves
• Remembering that we “keep on keeping on”
even when it doesn’t feel great
