Growth Mindset - What is it?
What does it mean to have a "Growth Mindset" ?, lets have a look.
First we need to understand that there are considered to be two types of mindsets. A "Fixed" Mindset and a "Growth" mindset, here's the difference.
A Fixed mindset is defined as a persons character, intelligence and their creative ability are static or fixed. The person is born with say a stat if that makes sense. So for example I might be born that Im quite good at maths but im not very good at sports nor will I ever be able to excel in sports because I dont believe I could improve in that area.
Where as a Growth mindset is someone who believes they can do anything if they put their mind to it. For example a person with a growth mindset would strive to try and improve at sports and be the best they can at it, although at the moment they may not be that good. They are hoping to grow to be better.
Now these are only mindset's ofcourse if you think you have a fixed mindset it doesnt mean you cant grow to strive at new things, as they say. Everybody if different in their own way's.
