Summarizes the research on growth vs fixed mindsets from Carol Dweck and others. "The real secret of success resides in people’s mind-set. He shows how a “fixed” mind-set that ascribes success to innate qualities is less resilient and adaptable than a “growth” mind-set that connects achievement to continuous learning and persistence." |

Carol Dwek's Mindset is based on a lot of research she has done over the years. It has applications throughout higher education.

nice set of links about Carol Dweck's Mindset Theory. Every parent needs to know what Carol Dweck discovered in her research.

So one who wants to make a change must have a positive outlook on new situations or task that they are not used to?
This article is about how one can gain or become a part of the group that is a growth mind set. You gain success or become a better person by following these changes.

Doubts kill more dreams that failure ever will.

"Failure is a weird word. I don't see it as failure. I see it as a natural evolution of a solution to a problem." |
If success is a catalyst for failure because it leads to the "undisciplined pursuit of more," then one simple antidote is the disciplined pursuit of less. Not just haphazardly saying no, but purposefully, deliberately, and strategically eliminating the nonessentials. Not just once a year as part of a planning meeting, but constantly reducing, focusing and simplifying. Not just getting rid of the obvious time wasters, but being willing to cut out really terrific opportunities as well. Few appear to have the courage to live this principle, which may be why it differentiates successful people and organizations from the very successful ones.
