Fixed mentality: "Fix in the problems", Mentality of growth: "Learn of the problems and fix in the solutions"
The fixed mentality is the “bad“, is does us to it see each problem like something solucionable so only if we know in advance like solving it, but no solucionable if we have to study like doing it, since we have to do something that did not know to do before
The mentality of growth is the “good” since it does us see each problem whose nature desconozcamos like an opportunity to develop new skills, in spite of the difficulties that find us.
-Dewck In his book explains that Joseph Martochio in a “experiment” explained to two groups of workers, of the same company, a new system of software:
To the first group, to the not to give them any council, indirectly induced them to that had a fixed mentality, hinting that them to learn the new software resorted to the skills that already had.
To the second group induced them a mentality of growth: it induced them to think that with the practice would go improving to base to learn of his errors.
The two groups did practically the same initial errors, but the first, inconscientemente, used the errors to dismay , and the second group, the ones of the mentality of growth, used the errors to learn.
It does not do lacking to say cual of the two groups ended up learning the new software.
- Dweck In his book explains the case of a student that, instead of remaining knock when checking that it had not spent a test of admission to a university, telephoned to the university and asked clues to be able to do it better the next examination of admission. The response is that to the University loved him his reaction, and finished it admitting.
- Dweck, in a talk TED, explained that when to some youngsters of zones marginales of U.S., as it can be Harlem, helped them to change his form to think so that “ they did not throw the towel “ when, when wanting to solve a problem, desisted when seeing it too complicated; they changed for example to say to if same: “ it is too difficult for my “ or “ can not “, by something eat: “ I am learning when exiting of my zone of comfort, my brain is doing more intelligent when encouraging me in wanting to solve a problem complicated that before my brain had not solved“; they achieved, when they taught to the youngsters to change his form to think, that schools marginales obtained resulted above the national average.
The winners, have mentality of growth: they are proactivos when they have to be it, do more things of the normal, always see in the defeat some opportunity to change his reality, an opportunity that do not see the “losers“ that are it because they want to, when being reactive when they do not have to be it, that is to say leave spend by the circumstances.
Your can change OF FIXED MENTALITY To OF GROWTH if you propose it to you
A lot of sceptics when reading scientific articles of people that have converted his fixed mentality to mentality of growth change, and begin to see the problems like challenges to surpass.
If many have changed and improved, if they have proposed it to him, even the originally skeptical following some logical steps, why do not go to be able to do it you?
You can not change overnight but if you write a plan of action detailed, as the one who explain you in the capitulate of the T and the plan of action, of the area in which you want to improve, will improve.
It thinks FROM THE BEGINNING IN THE SOLUTION NO IN THE PROBLEM. This is obvious but the reality is that usually we do not think in the solution until we have wasted a pile of time in complaining us pointlessly. For example: if a friend complains of which abuses it his better husband ask him that steps goes to be followed to separate , to ask him the details of how abuses it.
Although it look obvious is well highlight that what more time devote to think in the solution, ( in spite of the desánimo produced for having it tried almost everything for being able to find it ),and less in thinking the problem, more possibilities will have to exit airoso of any adversity.
It is impossible that see “ the light at the end of the tunnel “ if you are not looking did the start of the tunnel
90% of the people spend 90% of time complaining and 10% looking for solutions. By the contrary 10% of the people does it the other way around: it spends 90% looking for solutions: for example reading histories of people or companies of success; asking to the people that goes them well in the area that to them goes them badly, or to people that achieved to resolve the problem that they have…etc.
I have visited to a lot of tents in crisis and do not remember any situation in which the owner ” used me like cobaya “ to ask me, ( although I was not expert in tents ), that looked him such or cual thing of the tent to improve it and do it more profitable ; the majority of the owners used me to complain that the people did not go in in his tent: that is to say they used me like relief to speak of his problem , and no like somebody that, like potential client that was, could give them some opinion or suggestion on any appearance of the tent, ( and this that the multinationals spend thousands of euros in surveys and studios to know what thinks the people ).
Sometimes I go to a fair to visit companies to offer my courses, and goes me very well, but sometimes make a mistake of fair, and goes me very bad, and logically find me knock, is then, when I am knock, when I agree me of the mentality of growth that does me react quickly for, instead of re-creating me in the bad that goes me in the fair, do something: that is to say be proactivo and resort to a plan B, and of this form exit immediately of the enclosure, and like this can end up to work this day of the form but productive possible in another place.
Some commercial that worked in a real-estate counted me the effective that resulted them, when they lost a sale “ sung “: that is to say almost finalised, focalizar his thought from the second one of the disappointment in the following sale, instead of losing time, as they did before, in re-creating thinking in the stray sale.
It is important when they appear negative thoughts combat them quickly by other positive, since what more evenings in combating these negative thoughts more will have installed “ “ in your brain and more will cost you change them by positive thoughts.
