本篇内容

Two ways to see ability
Give two children a puzzle that is too hard for them. One looks crushed and pushes it away.
Why failure feels so different
In a fixed mindset, a mistake is not just a mistake. It is evidence about who you are.
The danger of praising talent
Parents and teachers mean well when they say you are so clever. Dweck's research suggests it backfires.
Mindset in sport and business
Dweck applies the same lens to champions and companies. She contrasts athletes who see natural talent as the whole story with those who treat every game as practice and every loss as a lesson.
Changing your own mindset
The good news is that mindsets are beliefs, and beliefs can shift. Dweck describes workshops where students learned that the brain forms new connections when it struggles with something hard.
Put it to work
This week, catch yourself the next time you praise someone and swap the word clever or talented for a comment on their strategy or persistence. When something goes wrong, write one sentence about what you will try differently, and end it with the word yet.
