بریده‌ای از کتاب Mindset اثر CarolS Dweck

We asked people, ranging from grade schoolers to young adults, “When do you feel smart? ” The differences were striking. People with the fixed mindset said: “It's when I don't make any mistakes. “When I finish something fast and it's perfect. “When something is easy for me, but other people can't do it. It's about being perfect right now. But people with the growth mindset said: “When it's really hard, and I try really hard, and I can do something I couldn't do before. Or “[When] I work on something a long time and I start to figure it out. For them it's not about immediate perfection. It's about learning something over time: confronting a challenge and making progress. If You Have Ability, Why Should You Need Learning? Actually, people with the fixed mindset expect ability to show up on its own, before any learning takes place.
