30 years ago Dr. Carol Dweck and her students thought about the attitude of failure. And during this workshop, they created two kinds of mindsets, what will tell what is the attitude of failure. They created two ways or routes to handle situations, that some work or mission would be some kind failure. Those routes were fixed and growth mindset, what might first look like the same thing, but they are the totally different way to think.
The fixed mindset is the way to think that every affection of the people is stable. When somebody is intelligent, this would continue end of this person’s life. Those persons who have fixed mindset think that when they are graduated from some university or another educational school, they would be like some statues or lighthouses in the sea.
They think that they are only ones, who have those skills, and all the world stands on their shoulder. The problem of that attitude is that those persons think, that everybody is like they are. The skills what they are learned are stable. And this is the wrong way to think. If we are thinking about the skills like programming languages, people might forget them, if they do something else in their career. They would not need to learn anything new, and those people think, that they would not change or they cannot modify their skills or affections.
So for those persons, the attitude of failure is absolutely negative. And that would be stressful for some people. If the people who have fixed mindset has the attitude, that if the person fails, the new one would get to the place immediately. And the person who made the failure must not let to fix their errors. This is, of course, the extreme example of that attitude. At the beginning of next parts of the text, I must say that the grown mindset is not always positive, and if the person is thin, while being young, and stops physical education, would the results be something, what this person doesn’t want.
Grown mindset means that the persons think that failure is meant for growing person. In this way to think the most important thing is that people believe that every affection in the personality can modify by the personal self. If the leading way to think in the person’s head is that if the person fails something, can this person get the needed skills from somewhere, and for that kind of person failures make them stronger.
And here I mean stronger by any means. If the person would kick off the job because this person would not have skills in the job, would the person who has grown mindset ask for courses, where can get needed skills. The term grown mindset would mean also, that the person would be little bit fat, what makes the social problem, but the person would modify the personal body and then get social acceptance. In this case, the person would modify the affection, that he or she would not like.
In the grown mindset would the person realize that everything in the life is the big picture. The good skills are not stable. And the person must update the skills of anything. But if the healthiness of the person is bad, the work would change as hell by other reasons. Even the best programming skills would not make the person productive if that programmer has cardiac problems. Or if the person is unhappy, the work doesn’t advance. The happiness in home and workplace are the best combination, what the employer can imagine. But if the person afraid to go to work, would that cause, that all projects would fail. Also, the pressure at home causes problems in everywhere. Happiness increases productivity.
