I believe that I can learn anything given the time and effort. This is why at age 56 why I have gone back to school. First to receive my GED and now my degrees.
Fixed mindsets are a survival method for people who's parents/guardians are quick to punish for even small things like mistakes and accidents or even punish when they fail the first time trying something. It's not a healthy mindset, but in those environments it's what's needed to avoid pain
And not just parents.... Society will often do the same.... Whether in corporate or military setting, where failure is often harshly punished, depending on those in charge....
Jared Romero,I think your comment was very funny. You surely have some humour, and it would have got better and better by watching more such motivational videos.
Everyone feels the pressure created by our peers, I'd said that's a primary factor in our decision making mechanism. I accept that I maybe incorrect, but it does not matter how much money you have or awards you've won, but instead how you react to stress and dynamic situations. ((If one posses strong conflict resolution skills a controlled responsible decision and action will follow. One that both is fair and displays respect equally. )) If we trained ourselves on to improve mental health I'd have to say that controlling our reactions to disrespectful and aggressive behaviours is the key to our next form of evolution. This kind of entropy is constantly taking place and always has, we just forget sometimes.
You become what you think. If you think being laughed at is more significant your going to become the epitome of that very thought. Change your attitude on the situation and being laughed at can be insignificant, unimportant, remain unbothered.
For some, fear of being laughed at is a more significant reason. Just know the ones who laugh at you are also the ones threatened by your attempt and are just glad you didn’t succeed. Just makes eventually succeeding taste all the more better.
I have spent my entire adult life (and sooo much time in therapy) getting over the fixed mindset I had growing up. My fixed mindset made me see my failures as failures of my whole self, success was because I had talent no one else had, and wrecked havoc on my self-esteem. Now, life is a learning opportunity and I work to live with a growth mindset everyday. It's hard but a change is possible!
Hula Hooping Hannah firstly congratulations on ur achievements 👍👍 u have tried ur best and changed ur fixed mindset to growth mindset 🌷🌷🌷 that sounds amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I’m glad you got out of it. I hope I don’t grow up with a fixed mindset. I know my family means well by calling me I’m smart,etc. But it’s caused me to think the way you thought. And I’m aware of it, but I don’t know how to stop. It’s gotten so bad I cry when I don’t understand things on the spot and it’s really taking a toll. I’ll just give up. I don’t want to be like this anymore :/
Also have the issue with fixed mindset in most things. I only aquired a growth mindset in programming thanks to a very good teacher but I have fixed mindset hammered into my head the whole childhood. First 22 years of my life were filled with pure hate and rejection. I was unwanted by everyone and my whole existence cause anxiety to some people in my school. Just existing alone was a crime and some wanted to see me dieing. Fixing traumatic experiences and rejection during childhood is almost impossible. I hate 99.99% of all humans and this probably will never change.
I used to have a fixed mindset when I was a kid. Later on I switched to more of a growth mindset but now I have fallen back into the fixed mindset again. This video made me aware of it so now I can cultivate the growth mindset again. Thanks :)
Yes, I did. I think we will always learn and adapt, consiously or unconsiously. Obstacles and conflict will force us to adapt and both of them are inevitable in life. Even if I would believe in a fixed mindset wouldn't make it so that I won't change. It's just that when I have a growth mindset I can choose where I focus my efforts to learn and adapt. I think that learning and adapting don't always result in growth though. You can learn new bad habits for example. So that's where my mindset is slightly different from the growth mindset.
To Achieve Growth Mind Set, STOP doing the following : ❌ 1. Fear of failure 2. Fear of being judged 3. Being judgemental and cynical 4. Being jealous of people around & START doing the following: ✔️ 1. Appreciating people for their efforts 2. Being compassionate 3. Be excited about life in general 4. Excercise & Meditate 5. Learn a new skill 6. Embrace uncertainty 7. Accept failures
At 50 years old, I’ve spent the past few years teaching myself to transform my old fear-based fixed mindset into an optimistic, empowering growth mindset, because I believe it will help me reach the potential I feel within. So far, so good.
To me, a growth mindset was closely linked with learning to disregard others' opinions. I used to be so afraid of being unlikeable, unsuccessful that I avoided areas in which I wasn't sure I'd be talented. There were things I didn't try because "everyone" "knew" that they were hopeless or useless, and I was afraid of seeming arrogant by trying to prove them wrong. I had things I "knew" I was "good at"--mostly told to me by others--that I never even considered I might not be good at them, that I could improve at them, or that I might also be good or better at other things. Once I started seriously considering what *I* wanted and decided to seriously pursue it, I realized I was extremely capable in a variety of areas, and I could readily accomplish all my life goals. Once you convince yourself there is a way, the way becomes apparent.
@@wheatbread1606 I had things I wanted, I guess. As I became an adult and had more agency in my day to day life, I just gradually started trying. Success on the small scale encouraged me to keep trying for larger goals.
We are what we think about and that thought will be manifested into your life whether positive or negative. Good for you and I wish you all the best for the future.
Yes, because the only constant in life is change! We constantly need to grow, otherwise we go nowhere. If a business has a fixed mindset, it will eventually die or go out of business.
Love how the comment section is a positive space for encouragement, uplifting and support towards each other :) It inspires me that there is an optimistic space in the internet where people help and motivate each other out to learn and grow :) The channel itself is happy to educate others to see life in a better perspective :) Thank you so much for this channel and your contents. The list and a more concrete explanation of a fixed and growth mindset even made me more aware to things I need to work on. Thank you so much 😊☺️

I’m astonished that people feel positive about this particular explainer video, it’s so harmful and such a misrepresentation of growth mindset. My disabled daughter was shown this video at school and it left her in tears because the gist of the video is that kids who acknowledge barriers to learning or suffer with anxiety are bad and have the “wrong” mindset, when the reality of learning is far more nuanced. It brushes over the role adults have to play in creating safe environments where failure is allowed, putting all the emphasis on kids. It also draws a direct link between “wrong” mindset and unemployment without any reference to the role of trauma in how children respond to failure. It’s such a shame because growth mindset is a great tool, but this video is an aggressively ableist misrepresentation of the concept.
I need to embrace the growth mindset. I used to live by it, then some difficulties arose... I let fear and doubt take over, avoided risks for a long time. Thank you for this video, I feel encouraged to grow again!
now I get to realize that I've been with the fixed mindset! I decided to live with the growth mindset you showed in this video.thanks for the awesome video !!
It is obvious that exceptions exist. He simplified it in this way so that people would understand that it is much better to have a growth mindset than a fixed mindset.
@@LapislazuliB612 But it seems simply untrue that anyone can learn anything, or that great people like Einstein only became great because of their mindset, and not because of inherently different abilities (not just IQ, but simply having a certain kind of brain). The ability for things such as planning, focused attention, and perseverance in the face of challenges are linked to physical areas in the brain (which in Einstein's case were larger than normal). Similarly, anyone can train their body and become toned and muscular, but you cannot change your basic body type.
@@snakedogman Einstein's brain was a bit different but not as much as people often say. However, let's not lose sight that the ideas described in this video are generalisations about the opposing ends of a continuum that we all inhabit. There will be exceptions, such as Einstein, but generally the vast majority of people either think they can grow to learn new skills or don't think they have it in them and thus don't really try. Some people will try in certain areas and not others (I have a brother who is good at languages, which many people consider hard, and so will approach learning a language like Anne, but is convinced he's terrible at DIY and inists he'll never be able to do it, so predictably won't try, like Jay).
Sprout's job is to make the concept come across as straightfowardly as possible. Your job is to make it trully useful by appling it reasonably in your life.
I have to admit( even though I know nobody may read this comment) this changed my life. I grew up in a household that always told me I'm special. It took great suffering and unlearning to develop this mindset. That too, at the age of 20. I'm 24 now. Life's going good. Gotta get better
@@garenthal9638 Are you starting to find your way yet? It's normal to feel miserable after losing parents, but if it's been a few months and you are not finding a good path forward or starting to have good moments and good days, it is time to reach out and get some support.
Jay reminds me a lot of myself when I was studying. Though Anne also reminds me of myself at times too. It's true, Jay probably has anxiety causing him to have these feelings. But realizing this and questioning your negative thoughts is what is needed to break through and have a growth mindset. And anyone can do it! Thanks for the video
I feel that at some stages in my life I have had a fixed mindset. My mother always taught us that nothing beats a failure but a try. I have a growth mindset. I can take constructive criticism on an assignment. I love seeing others succeed and I am not insecure when they do succeed.
Now i know the reason behind my dissapointments ! I had a fixed mindsent , fear of failure !! Thanx sprouts , now i learnt my problem ! Will try to change over to growth mindset now !!
I cannot express myself as to how to thank you enough. I have done this; written over and thought and erased and torn off every idea, every thought that I tried to bring me closer to the reason why I have been failing in various aspects in my life..falling in deeper and deeper despite of all the wise and helpful exchange friends and family could offer in the world. You in one video laid out magically all the answers to every single problem I have been tangled in! Cleared many many faults and misconceptions, all the dissapointments.. I cannot express it, cannot thank you enough for you've really REALLY changed my life. I might be being too loud, even very vague about this but this is very important to me and I just can't thank you enough! I mean, I could hardly put this into words..
Thank You Kalpan for your wonderful feedback. Comments like your's keep us going. We consume them for breakfast and turn them into a new script, a new drawing, a new video to inspire more students - young and old - to try to switch to a learning mindset.
From teaching for five decades, this makes perfect sense. Can someone make a permanent switch to growth mindset? Possibly, but only if they are aware of their mindset and practice overcoming fixed mindset. Changing mindset is also a skill that can be practiced.
If you're gonna say that having a growth mindset doesn't just see black and white but also gray then how is that not applied in between of having a growth mindset and fixed mindset.
You can have a growth mindset (skill comes through learning and practice) and still decide not to put in the effort. I'm never going to be a concert level pianist. I believe I could be, if I put in the time and effort. But I don't have the time and effort available for that when other things are more important to me. I'm not thinking that I can't do that, I'm thinking that I choose not to, and think about the things I've chosen instead. Which motivates me to get up and go work on those things now :)
I like the growth mindset. It describes an open minded individual in which they are open for all suggestions that can help them grow. They are the person that has the opportunity to learn more and will be successful in the future.
It demands a culture. One Growth Mindset can be far more challenging among many Fixed Mindsets + the factor of authority to make changes. So to make it successful you have to first calculate the balance factor, get the rest of the team on the same page including sponsors and then go for it. Just on a practical note to turn a theory to applications.
I think the key to a growth mindset is actually setting a goal to aim for and in the process the path forward is revealed by your aim and you'll know how to improve yourself
I never really thought about it much until after watching this video to realize that I, myself for a long time was set on a fixed mindset not allowing room for growth. I too was afraid of failure but now knowing that failing is a part of learning, I am quiet confident in my new upcoming challenges.
It's a great distinction I use a lot myself. One of the things I've noticed though is people tend to think of Growth vs Fixed as a personality trait, but my experience is most people have a Growth mindset about some things and a fixed mindset about others.
PRACTICE ! PRACTICE!, PRACTICE! LEARN, KEEP LEARNING IF YOU FAIL, GET UP AND START AGAIN UNTIL YOU BECOME AN EXPERT. THIS IS ONE THING I NEVER REALISED EARLY ENOUGH BUT I BELIEVE IS NEVER TOO LATE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS WONDERFUL VIDEO
Yeah my family was exactly the same, I remember I played football at 8 and wasnt very good at it, my grand father said I cannot learn it " you either gifted or you not", unfortunatly that stuck with me. I got diagnosed having aspergers which planted a seed of doubt in my mind very young which also moved my life in a hideous direction.
The truth is more important than the facts. Access to productive information is what we all need to become successful in life. To possibly create wealth good enough to retire, proficiency is indeed necessary; causing most affluent entrepreneurs to acquire the synergy of wealth managers that offers high-net-worth operations that encompasses all parts of a person’s financial life. Get yourself an aid
Our perceptions of your approach influence how we interpret, understand, and act on the truth. It’s so true that rich individuals seek the knowledge and skills of professionals and claim to achieve their success without any prior help
@Elizabeth Green To achieve your goals, proficiency makes your plans a reality. I engage in compound interest and leveraging and as well operate exclusive packages with a body of a wealth management firm and so far I’ve attained good ROI (amount is confidential)
As to get more details on the wealth manager, easily do quick internet research; (Genevieve Glen Rogers) where I believe you can easily approach her from, do your research with her full names mentioned.
This is a shocker seeing Genevieve Glen Rogers being mentioned here. I always had mixed feelings about hiring a lnvestment advisor. For the record, I started working with Genevieve in 2018, and she manages about 70% of my lnvestments, while I manage the other 30%. My philosophy is that I care more about my own money than anyone else, but she made me accept that they have wealth of information on current conditions and future trends
Thanks for this bigger picture perspective! I felt like I've struggled alone like a fish out of water with trying to build more constructive relationships with people like my coworkers and peers who don't seem to share in my levels of enthusiasm and ambitions for getting on the same page to get the job done with efficiency and consistency. I probably can write a book on coworkers shutting down and turning against me as if I am the one with a personal problem because I might have wanted them to help step up and tackle a project that can save all of us some trouble on down the road. Now I wish that videos like this would become more of a public service announcement on the biggest platforms you can imagine. Or at least mentioned openly at our daily goals meetings or our safety meetings at work that never covers any of the attitude and good sense techniques.

I know this was probably meant for neurotypical people, but as someone with anxiety and is neurodivergent, this felt like a big ol' punch in the gut with something similar to the "If your depressed, just be happy" thing
That is exactly what I was thinking! Jay's 'fixed' mindset comes from perfectly understandable worries that anyone might have experienced. Like good for you Anne but damn video, you really didn't have to attack Jay for having realistic worries.
As someone who also struggles with self-doubt, anxiety and depression, I really don't think this video was trying to somehow belittle neurodivergent people. It's not "just think like that and everything will be better". Of course not. You can't just get rid of this kind of mindset in one day. I think I wouldn't be able to be who I am today without going to therapy for year and a half (still going). Failure is scary, but everything that matters is scary. You can't just get over your fears in one day, but it does help to try to overcome them (FOR ME, not giving any kind of advice). Having supportive friends helps a lot, and if, for example, your family is not, of course it's not that easy to overcome this. What I take from this video - getting better takes effort. Getting over panic attacks and terrible depressive states took so much effort but I'm better now. I have several workers at my job who I have to assess, give feedback and teach. I'm trying to be positive and supportive, try to give them positive feedback, and if they fail I'm spending a lot of time talking to them. It's so magical to see them getting more confidence, especially those people who have doubt in their minds. I really hate this "tough love' approach, where people say "you don't deserve praise, you have to work for it". That's bullshit. A person who is surrounded by supportive people will get better at everything because they are encouraged. I've seen with my own eyes. You can't just become happy and confident if people around belittle you. So what I'm trying to say is that this video is not saying "just be better". They even mentioned how the guy takes everything personally. It's not what it says. It says that there is hope and you can get happier and yeah, it takes time and effort, but it's possible. There is nothing wrong with being anxious or nervous or neurodivergent. It's normal and it doesn't make you a lesser person. What makes person shitty is when they judge people by traits like that instead of trying to help and support them.
this fr haha dont get me wrong, yes there ARE things i can do to work harder, and i AM, but there are also things i can't change because ive been diagnosed with a developmental disability 💀
I was listening to “Take Control of Your Life” by Mel Robbins on my phone (shout out to Audible lol) . She mentioned this in her book. So glad to hear about this, it was much needed. Hope everyone have a good day today✌🏼
maybe this is a bit premature- but this video really changed the dynamic of how i view problems and live my life. i had been trying to figure out for days what it was that was holding me back from really learning all the information i had to learn (in medical school and beyond) and it was exactly this- the fixed mindset. to view challenges as new opportunities to figure something out, and to accept failure as part of the process is key. i think that we get so afraid of failing and feeling inadequate that it prevents us from doing the hard (and usually more meaningful) things. this video really solidified the concept and it has made me excited- rather than nervous- for all the new things i have yet to learn. THANK YOU!
I turned 60 this year and it took me most of those years to realise that a growth mindset hasn't benefited me once in my life. I avoid failure by avoiding doing thing I might fail at. Has served me well.
Eu também fiz 60 anos este ano (abril), e vivia igual a você. Infelizmente o divórcio, para mim, aconteceu, porém, com isso, minha mente mudou, e agora não tenho medo de nada. Estou fazendo faculdade, estou me programando para fazer viagens (pelo menos duas vezes ao ano), voltei a ler livros, voltei a caminhar e pedalar, e pretendo mudar de cidade em breve. Isso tem feito muito bem para mim. Não tenha medo de falhar. Só falha quem tenta. Seja forte. Pense apenas no seu crescimento, e todos à sua volta irão se beneficiar. 😉
I think there's a little of both in me. Sometimes there is a challenge and I'm afraid I'm going to fail. If I fail I now know that I can do it again and do it right. I can try no matter what happens because I can redo it over and over. I play the guitar and when I get stuck I don't quit. I rethink it and try again. I do like to take the easy way sometimes, but sometimes I take the hard way too. -4th grade student
School has its ups and downs. There's benefit to the way it's done but it has some major drawbacks. I've found the best way to do it is to beat beating the system. What I mean by that is, people have to choose for themselves to figure out how to love learning. Really, you'll get out of it what you put into it. I've been using school to change my mindset recently; going through the motions not with the intent of the grade but with the intent of becoming better. The grade's important too though...
I am living proof of past actions. ”Fixed thinking” sought out employed, and in my own situation of misfortune, I used hard challenges to feel ok making mistakes and that cultivated a (want to) come use my service. Throughout my life. And As I matured. I took opportunities to intern at multiple shops, to improve upon the technique for which I used in my own later successful business dealings. Out of unfixed thinking a rather complex ”mind over matter” way of thinking was revealed. This to customers made me a power plant genius. I was certainly one of my most challenging obstacles over the years and throughout the joyful rebuilds, and time. I'd taken an ever closer step and deserve or earned credit for my builds. This I was rightfully proud of and confidence boomed high as the heavens. Every customer repeatedly used my services solely based on the fact that I didn't rely on a fixed mindset to fail. Failure to assemble correctly, make costly mistakes than repeat my work several times. Was an example of my due diligence, eagerly wanting to seek to outsource to help me truly understand where my mistakes we're. And their solutions. No matter how many, big or small, expensive or not. Projects returned by my name. Trust He would. ”I always receive, (in the end) a place to leave more complex mechanisms” Knowing self-assured, that no matter how much learning it took ”me” he would be a good reference to the company not only professionally but in reference to my emotional and subjective attitude where there is no place for a fixed mindset. Rather old fashion mindset.
Thats what i learnd in Church. Moses probabeli also swiched from "i'm a bad speaker, the pharao won't hear me" to knowing, that many things are possible if he keep on trying und believing.
You can go from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset. For the past 10 years have been working on moving away from the fixed to the growth. Doing so has helped me with my anxiety and fear of failure. It is still a work in process but I will succeed.
People often settle for things that they think will give them what they want, for example choosing a job or a field they don't like only for the salary package it offers or to follow your friends who have picked up a particular subject. This is what is happening nowadays with youngsters who aren't following what they like to do, the hidden passion that they love. The only way to switch to a growth mindset is to follow what you love doing irrespective of what the output is. Once you do what you like doing pretty well, you will achieve great heights automatically.
Karthikeyan Arul following your passion is biggest bullshit. You need to eat too. This mindset is good for kids, who don't have responsibility to look after. What you need is pragmatic passion. Be practical in following your passion. Know your limitations, and work around them.
I have picked up a lot of extra hours at work after people who had a passion for a new job, then didn't stick with it once it became difficult. Being willing to work toward something _even when it is unpleasant_ is an important predictor of success. You can choose to become very good at a specialty that is not your first passion, in order to have a good income and a lifestyle that allows you to keep doing the things you love regardless of whether they make money. Many artists and musicians don't want the stress of trying to make a living in entertainment. Many people in health care have other hobbies, or work primarily to support family; the work can be satisfying, but it is also difficult, boring, dangerous. If you "marry" your career for passion, but do you have a deep and faithful love to keep picking up the dirty socks long after the honeymoon is over? It is great to always be pursuing something that interests you. But this doesn't have to be your day job. Not everything that we passionately love can or should be used to make money.
@@EKWisner Hi, I wrote this comment a long time ago when I still believed in the meritocracy of our society. I have come to understand that our places of work are not healthy environments. We have political democracy but our workplaces are mini dictatorships where you don't get a say in what is made, how is it made and where is it made. Not only that we aren't paid the full value of our work and which is what constitutes profits (stolen labour) but that we have no say whatsoever in our places of work. This is a major contributor to understand what drives our passions. I think in a society where workers have complete control over their places of work (here work means both intellectual and manual labour, there is a technical difference but basically anyone who exchanges their time for money is a worker) will be able to not only pursue some passion that they like but create new avenues for themselves that are liberating and satisfying. Even a place where you flip burgers can be called home if you collectively own it and make decisions together. Does that make sense? I would also ask that why should you be paid less if you love doing your job? I think artists and musicians are tricky to understand but why should any other job we like be low paying?
The keys to the kingdom - anyone who watches this and applies it to their life will see immediate gains and never look back at the fixed mindset again for the problems they care most about solving in their life 😊
I di switch from fixed to growth thanks to covid-19. it was during those months of isolation and solitude that the lightbulb clicked over my head. and i am delighted to bravely say that i am on the right track despite moments of waning will and swaying for short-lived comforts. i discovered my grit, eventually.
Amazing ! I've always been a growth mindset. The kind of growth mindset who will be able to spend 6 nights without sleeping to achieve something who will try 11 times until getting his driving license, who will never stop to look backward to his achievements ... What have been done will never matter, the daily challenge is to look for what to do next ! I would be happy to have a small fixed mindset part and learn to balance both of them Stop for a while to take advantage of what have been already achieved
I don't think anyone likes that feeling, but it's sometimes more the fear or anticipation of being ridiculed that is more harmful. We are all on a journey - be encouraged, your story is still being written.
This is tied to a person's upbringing and the older you get the harder it is for someone to accept that what they know or have been doing all along was wrong and that can make anyone sad or look bad. If you choose to cast off the shackles of pride and shame and choose humility and enlightenment you can grow and benefit.
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my TH-cam channel 2 months ago about self development. Now I have 155 subs and almost 75 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place.
@@sprouts My channel has almost 200 subs and 84 hours of watch time although my next video completion progress has been pretty slow due to switching to another editing software and change of gears but no matter how slow it is to make videos, I do enjoy it. I know that my channel is way more low quality and not even close to other TH-camrs' success out there but really, I realized that the main reason for doing this is not about the success but the inspiration I've been providing some people with my stories and experiences. Whoever you are, I don't know you personally but I can say based on what you said, I can say that you're one of the non-judgmental and open-minded people who is not fixated on tangible or external factors in order to learn from someone like me. Just because someone doesn't have a piece of paper as a credential, doesn't mean that person is not entitled to share personal experiences with the hope & intention to inspire others. Keep up with whatever it is that you're doing to improve mankind or improving your life even to a slight degree each day. This is just one part of a bigger puzzle for creating my TH-cam channel about holistic health. I literally could have died back when I was 14 years old due to major depression but here I am right now replying to you, a TH-camr, who's full of fulfillment and dedication to help others to be a better version of themselves. I ain't better than anyone else but my old self. That's all that really makes this TH-cam thing more meaningful and enjoyable. Thanks so much for your support!
Awesome video. Most times I switch from fixed to growth mindset and vice versa. But now I will try to be consistent with growth mindset. Thanks for the video.
Ya know, just change your entire character, ya know that thing that neuroscience has proven to be formed during early childhood (from years 0-2) and to be unchanging throughout life, depending on the interaction between mother and baby (in the first two years of life), and you'll succeed! WOOOO! It's a great way to explain your employee's failure too; 'oh they were just in the wrong state of mind. Nothing to do with the idea they might be literally unable to achieve the goal I set them'
Rythmes are set firmly in early childhood, but they are not the be all and end all.Perception is set deep with in our physiology/psych , are far as I can tell all faculties in the mind can be tuned , adapted, strengthened, just as one is able to strengthen ones ligaments, bones,muscles,resistants to cold and heat, via the right amount of stimulus/stress and apropriate response. "Adaption"
It obviously doesn't feel good when someone is pointing out your negative attitude, especially when someone mentions the name like this video did to me.. But at the same time it had told me to develop by myself, so I would not take it in a negative perspective and now i will try to be confident and improve myself. Thanks for making this video. 👍
Perfectly happy with my fixed mindset :) I live for having fun, not to do some chores. I am not a product, I have nobody to sell myself to and I am comptent with my personnality so... No problems :). Glad with who I am, as I am, just enjoying my life as it is and myself as I am. I love to read with zen music in the background, petting my dog, solitude , tea, being in the nature and peace of mind. Why would my life be less valuable that challenger's lives ? Not everybody has to be ambitious and outgrow everything... Just chill The fear for me is not so much being laughed out. My biggest fear is to be overwhelmed : I like a quiet existence at a slow pace. I am woman of simple pleasures 😌
Seriously man, Your drawings are awesome. I really loved the way of your approach in explaining. Keep it up. I would like to learn drawing, any suggestions please.
Just enjoy scribbling at first dont belabor on creating a single image. Keep on going and you'll see improvement in your drawings. Search for the vid "Process Learning" by Sprouts its my inspiration in this suggestion. Hope it helps. God bless! 😄
First, you must practice having a growth mindset to get through it. Then, draw things that are hard for you. After a long time of practicing and failing, you will be able to draw anything! :)
My advice is to make lots of observational sketches but also do a lot of doodling and not be too fussed about the outcome. Also you can try to emulate someone to learn techniques but dont compare yourself to other artists so much. I do this a lot and it only disheartens me.
That could be true because we are a sum of many parts, but no matter your personality, you can learn a growth mindset if you want to become less defensive and to see failure as part of learning.
That's the thing. There is no scientifical term of "introvert-ness" or "extrovert-ness" . Almost allpeople are born with same body condition. The environment is responsible for our beliefs. However just think that, if they were in the same environment. Jay would fail and he would've stoped trying to opening up to poeple. On the other hand Anne would try again and try again. she would get confident more and more. So she'll be an extrovert. And about anxiety. Everyone has it. U just have to push harder, even the greatest leaders admit that they had anxiety issues but they've overcame it. For example Anthony Padilla he was so introverted that he had many anxiety attacks for just being around people. Now look at him , he's a famous TH-camr and an extrovert. I'm not perfect also. But we all must push out limits and we'll succeed insha Allah 🌸
@@Patty_Brard i guess you need a "will" or "need" to develop a growth mindset.. since u r stuck at fixed one... it's gonna take some hard-ass determination to do so. :-)
I appreciate watching this video. Can be able to differentiate both mindset and correlate how they affect the way i co-ordinate and strategize my daily plans.
This video spoke to me. I use to feel like the little boy and still face that inner boy. I’m definitely breaking away from that and becoming more open-minded about what I do and how I do it. It’s always good to learn and try new thing. Living in fear of what people are going to say or think is all in the head. I want to grow not get stuck in a ditch and stuck in my ways. Growth is important.
I believe that is possible to change mindset. For me it looks like the same as we were buiding new roads and started driving on them. And doing this would be pretty hard, especially at the beginning. But with time gets easier and there is a lot of joy then. And to be realistic, the fails also wait us on this way of learning of growth mindset, even in years, despite of being succesfull in that. So, as they said, just try again, fail again, fail better:)
Good point. And maybe yes. Although one could argue that a permeant state of a growth mindset could also lead to a view shared by Sokrates: I know that I know nothing. In which case the idea of mindset would be meaningless and you would be trapped thinking that your mindset keeps growing.
I learned a long time ago to keep an open mind by engaging in new ideas and ways to be creative which enhances your drive and ability to create your future.
I had to be medicated to actualize the power of my mind. I was able to read, watch, and listen to lots of self help materials. I reached out to people in the related fields of interest as myself and seek for mentorship. I now mentor young men with drug abuse/alcohol abuse/ mental disorders. The joy i receive from mentoring those young men is like no other joy ive experienced in life. To the readers out there, i believe in you! YES you can do it! Failure is normal. Fear is normal. It takes time for change to happen. Anger and frustration is part of the journey to self improvement. Yes, it sounds silly. People have called me crazy, but i dont mind it. I rather be crazy and successful rather than being a contempt loser.
To Achieve Growth Mind Set, STOP doing the following : X 1. Fear of failure 2. Fear of being judged 3. Being judgemental and cynical 4. Being jealous of people around & START doing the following: V 1. Appreciating people for their efforts 2. Being compassionate 3. Be excited about life in general 4. Exercise & Meditate 5. Learn a new skill 6. Embrace uncertainty 7. Accept failures
@@GAPIntoTheGame You really can, as long as you have choices you can improve something; either externally (actions/habits) or internally (attitude/perspective). And those choices build up and compound making you stronger, skilled, flexible and extremely resilient. To the point that you'll embrace whatever comes your way, even pain.
@@GAPIntoTheGame Sure, then you'll turn your attention inside and focus you your attitude and perspective in the face of death; willingly and gracefully accepting your fate with dignity, courage and gratitude for the life you had. Or maybe you could just not be stupid and use proper equipment while in space lol
I don't know about a "permanent switch" but I definitely believe we can build momentum in either direction/build our tendency towards one or the other.
I agree. I think like most binaries, there's a little bit of both in most of us. I am dedicated to the idea of lifelong learning, but I still hate admitting when I don't know something or am out of practice. And while I believe that effort matters far more than talent, I also notice myself wanting to help people find their path to success based on relatively superficial things that could makes it "easier" for them - for example looking at people's body types when advising them on careers.
I'm watching this for school but I genuinely enjoyed the message and art used. I've heard this concept a lot but this video actually got the point across to me.
It’s funny because even though I understand where this is coming from, many of these videos forget about nurodivergent people who might have a lot more trouble learning things than most. For me, I know I CAN read, but it’s really hard to read, and I feel stuck. I haven’t gotten better, even though I try. Same with being focused. I cannot focus on one thing for a longer period of time for the life of me. Therefore, it’s a lot harder for me to learn and grow. I try to listen and focus, it’s just a lot harder for me. There some cases that even though you might have a growth mindset, it’s a lot harder to grow. And also, when you keep failing and you aren’t getting better, it’s slot harder to keep a growth mindset all the time, because you know you are different, and that others are succeeding, but you are still at a 5th grade reading level. Anyway, I would love to see a growth mindset video talking about that stuff as well, because saying, “if you have a growth mindset you can do anything!” Isn’t very helpful, because everyone is different and there are some things that are a lot harder/impossible for some people to do. Also, not to mention trauma. Many people have a fixed mindset because of childhood trauma, such as parental abuse. I do respect these videos, and I see where they are coming from, but it’s not as black and white as these videos make it seem. There are a lot of factors that go into being in a fixed mindset that aren’t just social insecurities.
I also heavily agree. While watching this video, it really felt black and white. To simply somehow "change" your mindset is discouraging because it's not that easy as it seems. Sure, with effort, we can grow and become better, but the way the video showed it, I feel like there's a lack of depth of where a fixed mindset originates from.
Thank you for these videos. I’m sharing them with my 10 year old and he saw this one and said he wants to have a growing mindset and I told him I do too. It’s never to early or late to decide to change. We are going to start doing things to work on that goal. He’s already great and I love his positive attitude, it give me life. I’m the one who needs work. Thank you for your videos.
I feel like im a fixed mindset guy. I really wanna learn more but my 2 biggest problems prevent me from it, those are that im a slow learner and i got some type of social anxiety. when I read something the information from it doesn't stay in my head most of the time so I gotta re read it many times. I also doubt knowledge a lot, like ill just read or learn something and think it might be false even though i know what i read/learn before was supposedly true. Did bad in english class because of that. main reason why I didn't go to college. Ive been quiet my whole life, there were days in elementary school where i didn't say 1 word for the whole school day. as i got into highschool i had some friends id talked to but i still hardly talk to them. i never went to anything my friends invited me to because i feel like it would've been less enjoyable for them because i wasn't one to talk much. i never really consider them to be real friends because they thought i was cool and nice probably because i was quiet but i know they didn't really care about me that much. now im an adult and i only enjoy talking to 1 guy at work but its mainly him talking because hes 50 and im 21, most of my interests he doesn't care for and usually old people like to talk because they got a lot of wisdom they like to share. i avoid everything that involves socializing for the last 2 years. i don't even go to my grandmas for the holidays because i don't like talking to my relatives. i don't go out to eat,shopping, movies, etc with family because that involves socializing. all i do now is go home upstairs and play videogames or go jogging to stay in shape. if i ever get into a conversation id stay for a little and then find the opportunity to slip out of it most of the time because i know i don't put out much to conversations. I really want to improve these problems and the solutions i think might work is for slow learning just force myself to read everyday and the social anxiety i think all i need is a best friend(ive never had one) that actually cares about me. Anyone got tips to help me fix my issues? this is more of a cry for help tbh. i want to change but im struggling to overcome these problems, i kind of still wanna go to college but one thing i learned from working 8 hour shift is that most people want someone to talk to make their day go by faster and more enjoyable. so if i did invest into a career im sure they would want someone that could actually socialize with them. Something i wanna add is when im reading or in a conversation i daydream or zone out A LOT, mainly for reading though. Also his probably doesn't relate to the video as much anymore either
I know im answering a 4 year old question, but i think it may help anyone reading this. A practical trick is: Become really skilled at something, and people (in that field) will search for you no matter how non-social you are
Well that was really interesting, and at the same time, simple, which is important in a good video About the topic This video, is not showing the complete idea. Basically when you are young this video is 100% useful, because explore is important, but once you find what you want, you use the fixed mindset even if you don't want. why? Because we don't have time for everything, which means, that you will avoid things that not really important in your situation or that simply you don't have enough time for it. So it is important to have a open growth mind set, but is important to be realistic, and CHOOSE what do you want to be good, practice makes perfect but practice needs time.
I always thought the intelligence quality of people are fixed before I saw this video. This video is a great inspiration to me, I may be no't afraid to fail and be laughed at. just try again and again. everything can be better by effort.
Slay soul sister! No matter how much you fail you should always try. When growth mindset people fail, they say, "Good Game!" When fixed mindset people fail, they say, "I am the worst!" From: Miss Sutton's 2nd period class
I think there are few differences between people like Jay and Anne. As being said, Anne has some sort of extraversion and Jay has some features in introversion. If you have some such distinguishable features like taking all what happnening around you seriously and criticize things where yoy think like realist, you can simply remained Fixed-Minded and it is the truth you will never heard. I'm this kind of person who are very sensitive to critics because I was ashamed of my work done in school and after. But after a year or so, I changed my place of living, accepted new rules of living in new country and realized that.. Yes, you can fail, but what's the matter of it? Everyone fail, everybody will fail on the first place in activities thet have never tried before. Just try and do. Do you enjoy? Yes, you do. Are you learning? Yes, you are! Nevertheless, there eventually will be a momentum where you were mentally placed in your "old coat" of your thoughts and you will be returned in the coat of old Yourself.

Very proud of you. Haha the tables turned now! 🤣🤣😊
Fixed mindsets are a survival method for people who's parents/guardians are quick to punish for even small things like mistakes and accidents or even punish when they fail the first time trying something. It's not a healthy mindset, but in those environments it's what's needed to avoid pain
Thank you Jess for the insightful comment!
And not just parents.... Society will often do the same.... Whether in corporate or military setting, where failure is often harshly punished, depending on those in charge....
Take it easy, Anne. You're making us look bad.
This video is sexist by using examples of people with two different genders. And as usual, the female is the positive example.
@@peterbelanger4094 they just took an example. No gender recism.
@@peterbelanger4094 u are the example of fixed minset
Jared Romero,I think your comment was very funny. You surely have some humour, and it would have got better and better by watching more such motivational videos.
DON'T FALL FOR PETERS BAIT!! Oh too late
I feel like the "fear of being laughed at" is more significant than this video suggests
Everyone feels the pressure created by our peers, I'd said that's a primary factor in our decision making mechanism.
I accept that I maybe incorrect, but it does not matter how much money you have or awards you've won, but instead how you react to stress and dynamic situations.
((If one posses strong conflict resolution skills a controlled responsible decision and action will follow. One that both is fair and displays respect equally. ))
If we trained ourselves on to improve mental health I'd have to say that controlling our reactions to disrespectful and aggressive behaviours is the key to our next form of evolution.
This kind of entropy is constantly taking place and always has, we just forget sometimes.
Extremely so, being isolated and ostracized, isolated, and incapacitated is the current way of ex-communicating you out of "the group".
You become what you think. If you think being laughed at is more significant your going to become the epitome of that very thought. Change your attitude on the situation and being laughed at can be insignificant, unimportant, remain unbothered.
I don't think the video suggest some value attribute. It just say a possible reason for not trying.
For some, fear of being laughed at is a more significant reason. Just know the ones who laugh at you are also the ones threatened by your attempt and are just glad you didn’t succeed. Just makes eventually succeeding taste all the more better.
who all felt their heartbreaking after every trait of a fixed mindset matched with yours
An opportunity to grow!

I didn’t feel heartbroken but I actually feel better bc I know now what to change

SAMEEEEEE
I have spent my entire adult life (and sooo much time in therapy) getting over the fixed mindset I had growing up. My fixed mindset made me see my failures as failures of my whole self, success was because I had talent no one else had, and wrecked havoc on my self-esteem. Now, life is a learning opportunity and I work to live with a growth mindset everyday. It's hard but a change is possible!
Good for you, I hope you continue your growth mindset journey!
Hula Hooping Hannah firstly congratulations on ur achievements 👍👍 u have tried ur best and changed ur fixed mindset to growth mindset 🌷🌷🌷 that sounds amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
May you keep growing and see your own brilliance every day for the rest of your life :)
I’m glad you got out of it. I hope I don’t grow up with a fixed mindset. I know my family means well by calling me I’m smart,etc. But it’s caused me to think the way you thought. And I’m aware of it, but I don’t know how to stop. It’s gotten so bad I cry when I don’t understand things on the spot and it’s really taking a toll. I’ll just give up. I don’t want to be like this anymore :/
Also have the issue with fixed mindset in most things. I only aquired a growth mindset in programming thanks to a very good teacher but I have fixed mindset hammered into my head the whole childhood. First 22 years of my life were filled with pure hate and rejection. I was unwanted by everyone and my whole existence cause anxiety to some people in my school. Just existing alone was a crime and some wanted to see me dieing. Fixing traumatic experiences and rejection during childhood is almost impossible. I hate 99.99% of all humans and this probably will never change.
I used to have a fixed mindset when I was a kid. Later on I switched to more of a growth mindset but now I have fallen back into the fixed mindset again. This video made me aware of it so now I can cultivate the growth mindset again. Thanks :)
your comment makes us massively happy! all the best Daan! and let us know end of 2017 if you made any progress!
Sprouts I'll certainly let you know if I will remember it.
Excellent. I'll send you a reminder ;)
Daan did you improve your way of thinking?
Yes, I did. I think we will always learn and adapt, consiously or unconsiously. Obstacles and conflict will force us to adapt and both of them are inevitable in life.
Even if I would believe in a fixed mindset wouldn't make it so that I won't change. It's just that when I have a growth mindset I can choose where I focus my efforts to learn and adapt.
I think that learning and adapting don't always result in growth though. You can learn new bad habits for example. So that's where my mindset is slightly different from the growth mindset.
To Achieve Growth Mind Set,
STOP doing the following :
❌
1. Fear of failure
2. Fear of being judged
3. Being judgemental and cynical
4. Being jealous of people around
&
START doing the following:
✔️
1. Appreciating people for their efforts
2. Being compassionate
3. Be excited about life in general
4. Excercise & Meditate
5. Learn a new skill
6. Embrace uncertainty
7. Accept failures

@@matthatt903 That is true,
But then we can always try & upgrade ourselves.
At 50 years old, I’ve spent the past few years teaching myself to transform my old fear-based fixed mindset into an optimistic, empowering growth mindset, because I believe it will help me reach the potential I feel within. So far, so good.
Love that energy! Sprouts is with you :)
That is super inspiring Nicholas, do you have any recommendations on how to improve and transform your mindset?
To me, a growth mindset was closely linked with learning to disregard others' opinions. I used to be so afraid of being unlikeable, unsuccessful that I avoided areas in which I wasn't sure I'd be talented. There were things I didn't try because "everyone" "knew" that they were hopeless or useless, and I was afraid of seeming arrogant by trying to prove them wrong. I had things I "knew" I was "good at"--mostly told to me by others--that I never even considered I might not be good at them, that I could improve at them, or that I might also be good or better at other things. Once I started seriously considering what *I* wanted and decided to seriously pursue it, I realized I was extremely capable in a variety of areas, and I could readily accomplish all my life goals. Once you convince yourself there is a way, the way becomes apparent.
How did you get the motivation to try?
@@wheatbread1606 I had things I wanted, I guess. As I became an adult and had more agency in my day to day life, I just gradually started trying. Success on the small scale encouraged me to keep trying for larger goals.
We are what we think about and that thought will be manifested into your life whether positive or negative. Good for you and I wish you all the best for the future.
me rn
I have successfully disregarded all positive opinions from others and only receive negative feedback
Selfawareness is a good step from moving from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset.
yes
yup
is it tho?
agree
...
growth mindset is what makes things easy in life in the long run
Yes, because the only constant in life is change! We constantly need to grow, otherwise we go nowhere. If a business has a fixed mindset, it will eventually die or go out of business.
Thx God we have movies like that one so we can masturbate thinking about ourselfs. And making people with anxiety feels even worst.
I am fixed about the growth mindset
Haha love this.
Wonderful
Even one year later it sounds so lovely

I’m astonished that people feel positive about this particular explainer video, it’s so harmful and such a misrepresentation of growth mindset. My disabled daughter was shown this video at school and it left her in tears because the gist of the video is that kids who acknowledge barriers to learning or suffer with anxiety are bad and have the “wrong” mindset, when the reality of learning is far more nuanced. It brushes over the role adults have to play in creating safe environments where failure is allowed, putting all the emphasis on kids. It also draws a direct link between “wrong” mindset and unemployment without any reference to the role of trauma in how children respond to failure. It’s such a shame because growth mindset is a great tool, but this video is an aggressively ableist misrepresentation of the concept.
Anytime Jessica , were here for a Resons I belive What we start with is not what we will Leven with. Name it and claim it. Mindset just be careful
I used to have a growth mindset... After I started college I acquired a fixed mindset and now I'm trying to recover my previous one :/
Keep going Ana, you can do it!
Just like any skill, having a growth mindset can be learned by anyone. 😄
but mindsets are fixed at birth
Yaa...
It's an opportunity to unlock the lock on fixed mindsets. Not a privilege to discriminate one for having such.
Lmao
Typical of what someone with a growth mindset would say.
I need to embrace the growth mindset. I used to live by it, then some difficulties arose... I let fear and doubt take over, avoided risks for a long time. Thank you for this video, I feel encouraged to grow again!
I need to watch these videos everyday.

This simplistic and binary approach of the problem is exactly what I needed to change absolutely nothing about my life

It is obvious that exceptions exist. He simplified it in this way so that people would understand that it is much better to have a growth mindset than a fixed mindset.
@@LapislazuliB612 But it seems simply untrue that anyone can learn anything, or that great people like Einstein only became great because of their mindset, and not because of inherently different abilities (not just IQ, but simply having a certain kind of brain). The ability for things such as planning, focused attention, and perseverance in the face of challenges are linked to physical areas in the brain (which in Einstein's case were larger than normal). Similarly, anyone can train their body and become toned and muscular, but you cannot change your basic body type.
@@snakedogman Einstein's brain was a bit different but not as much as people often say. However, let's not lose sight that the ideas described in this video are generalisations about the opposing ends of a continuum that we all inhabit. There will be exceptions, such as Einstein, but generally the vast majority of people either think they can grow to learn new skills or don't think they have it in them and thus don't really try. Some people will try in certain areas and not others (I have a brother who is good at languages, which many people consider hard, and so will approach learning a language like Anne, but is convinced he's terrible at DIY and inists he'll never be able to do it, so predictably won't try, like Jay).
Sprout's job is to make the concept come across as straightfowardly as possible. Your job is to make it trully useful by appling it reasonably in your life.
I have to admit( even though I know nobody may read this comment) this changed my life.
I grew up in a household that always told me I'm special. It took great suffering and unlearning to develop this mindset. That too, at the age of 20.
I'm 24 now. Life's going good. Gotta get better
Hi shiva rama krishna pabba! Thank you for sharing your story. Good luck on your journey :)
Thank you for sharing this! May God Bless you!
im starting now at 28. i was born handicapped so my parents over sheltered me and now that they are gone im miserable and feel unfufilled
@@garenthal9638 Are you starting to find your way yet?
It's normal to feel miserable after losing parents, but if it's been a few months and you are not finding a good path forward or starting to have good moments and good days, it is time to reach out and get some support.
Jay reminds me a lot of myself when I was studying. Though Anne also reminds me of myself at times too. It's true, Jay probably has anxiety causing him to have these feelings. But realizing this and questioning your negative thoughts is what is needed to break through and have a growth mindset. And anyone can do it! Thanks for the video
I feel that at some stages in my life I have had a fixed mindset. My mother always taught us that nothing beats a failure but a try. I have a growth mindset. I can take constructive criticism on an assignment. I love seeing others succeed and I am not insecure when they do succeed.
Now i know the reason behind my dissapointments ! I had a fixed mindsent , fear of failure !! Thanx sprouts , now i learnt my problem ! Will try to change over to growth mindset now !!

I cannot express myself as to how to thank you enough. I have done this; written over and thought and erased and torn off every idea, every thought that I tried to bring me closer to the reason why I have been failing in various aspects in my life..falling in deeper and deeper despite of all the wise and helpful exchange friends and family could offer in the world. You in one video laid out magically all the answers to every single problem I have been tangled in! Cleared many many faults and misconceptions, all the dissapointments.. I cannot express it, cannot thank you enough for you've really REALLY changed my life. I might be being too loud, even very vague about this but this is very important to me and I just can't thank you enough! I mean, I could hardly put this into words..
Thank You Kalpan for your wonderful feedback. Comments like your's keep us going. We consume them for breakfast and turn them into a new script, a new drawing, a new video to inspire more students - young and old - to try to switch to a learning mindset.
From teaching for five decades, this makes perfect sense. Can someone make a permanent switch to growth mindset? Possibly, but only if they are aware of their mindset and practice overcoming fixed mindset. Changing mindset is also a skill that can be practiced.
Growth mindset is helping me right now to see my life as an adventure and not as a test of my self worth.
You didn't have to expose me so publically
Lol
Don't worry about these sciency guys, live your life the way you want to, but if you want to change, don't think I'm trying to stop you.
It's honestly a balance, most if the times it is beneficial to be a growth mindset, but sometimes it is actually helpful to have a fixed mindset.
Yeah. Let logic be your guide. Sometimes its just best just to cut your losses.
No i dont think it is
@@wintermatherne2524 Agree the reality is that it's great to have a growth mindset but logic and calculated risk approach should sometimes be applied.
If you're gonna say that having a growth mindset doesn't just see black and white but also gray then how is that not applied in between of having a growth mindset and fixed mindset.
You can have a growth mindset (skill comes through learning and practice) and still decide not to put in the effort.
I'm never going to be a concert level pianist. I believe I could be, if I put in the time and effort. But I don't have the time and effort available for that when other things are more important to me.
I'm not thinking that I can't do that, I'm thinking that I choose not to, and think about the things I've chosen instead.
Which motivates me to get up and go work on those things now :)
I like the growth mindset. It describes an open minded individual in which they are open for all suggestions that can help them grow. They are the person that has the opportunity to learn more and will be successful in the future.
It demands a culture. One Growth Mindset can be far more challenging among many Fixed Mindsets + the factor of authority to make changes. So to make it successful you have to first calculate the balance factor, get the rest of the team on the same page including sponsors and then go for it. Just on a practical note to turn a theory to applications.
I think the key to a growth mindset is actually setting a goal to aim for and in the process the path forward is revealed by your aim and you'll know how to improve yourself
I never really thought about it much until after watching this video to realize that I, myself for a long time was set on a fixed mindset not allowing room for growth. I too was afraid of failure but now knowing that failing is a part of learning, I am quiet confident in my new upcoming challenges.
It's a great distinction I use a lot myself. One of the things I've noticed though is people tend to think of Growth vs Fixed as a personality trait, but my experience is most people have a Growth mindset about some things and a fixed mindset about others.
Yes. We think so too 👍
PRACTICE ! PRACTICE!, PRACTICE! LEARN, KEEP LEARNING IF YOU FAIL, GET UP AND START AGAIN UNTIL YOU BECOME AN EXPERT. THIS IS ONE THING I NEVER REALISED EARLY ENOUGH BUT I BELIEVE IS NEVER TOO LATE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS WONDERFUL VIDEO

@Elizabeth Green To achieve your goals, proficiency makes your plans a reality. I engage in compound interest and leveraging and as well operate exclusive packages with a body of a wealth management firm and so far I’ve attained good ROI (amount is confidential)
As to get more details on the wealth manager, easily do quick internet research; (Genevieve Glen Rogers) where I believe you can easily approach her from, do your research with her full names mentioned.
This is a shocker seeing Genevieve Glen Rogers being mentioned here. I always had mixed feelings about hiring a lnvestment advisor. For the record, I started working with Genevieve in 2018, and she manages about 70% of my lnvestments, while I manage the other 30%. My philosophy is that I care more about my own money than anyone else, but she made me accept that they have wealth of information on current conditions and future trends
"Better late than Never" Starting up right away with the growth mindset!! (Thank You)
You are welcome Sumit!
Thanks for this bigger picture perspective! I felt like I've struggled alone like a fish out of water with trying to build more constructive relationships with people like my coworkers and peers who don't seem to share in my levels of enthusiasm and ambitions for getting on the same page to get the job done with efficiency and consistency. I probably can write a book on coworkers shutting down and turning against me as if I am the one with a personal problem because I might have wanted them to help step up and tackle a project that can save all of us some trouble on down the road. Now I wish that videos like this would become more of a public service announcement on the biggest platforms you can imagine. Or at least mentioned openly at our daily goals meetings or our safety meetings at work that never covers any of the attitude and good sense techniques.

I know this was probably meant for neurotypical people, but as someone with anxiety and is neurodivergent, this felt like a big ol' punch in the gut with something similar to the "If your depressed, just be happy" thing
That is exactly what I was thinking! Jay's 'fixed' mindset comes from perfectly understandable worries that anyone might have experienced. Like good for you Anne but damn video, you really didn't have to attack Jay for having realistic worries.
As someone who also struggles with self-doubt, anxiety and depression, I really don't think this video was trying to somehow belittle neurodivergent people. It's not "just think like that and everything will be better". Of course not. You can't just get rid of this kind of mindset in one day. I think I wouldn't be able to be who I am today without going to therapy for year and a half (still going).
Failure is scary, but everything that matters is scary. You can't just get over your fears in one day, but it does help to try to overcome them (FOR ME, not giving any kind of advice). Having supportive friends helps a lot, and if, for example, your family is not, of course it's not that easy to overcome this.
What I take from this video - getting better takes effort. Getting over panic attacks and terrible depressive states took so much effort but I'm better now.
I have several workers at my job who I have to assess, give feedback and teach. I'm trying to be positive and supportive, try to give them positive feedback, and if they fail I'm spending a lot of time talking to them. It's so magical to see them getting more confidence, especially those people who have doubt in their minds.
I really hate this "tough love' approach, where people say "you don't deserve praise, you have to work for it". That's bullshit. A person who is surrounded by supportive people will get better at everything because they are encouraged. I've seen with my own eyes.
You can't just become happy and confident if people around belittle you.
So what I'm trying to say is that this video is not saying "just be better". They even mentioned how the guy takes everything personally. It's not what it says. It says that there is hope and you can get happier and yeah, it takes time and effort, but it's possible. There is nothing wrong with being anxious or nervous or neurodivergent. It's normal and it doesn't make you a lesser person.
What makes person shitty is when they judge people by traits like that instead of trying to help and support them.
Thank you friend. Shout out loud and proud, cos this is such limited ableist bullshit

dont get me wrong, yes there ARE things i can do to work harder, and i AM, but there are also things i can't change because ive been diagnosed with a developmental disability 💀
I was listening to “Take Control of Your Life” by Mel Robbins on my phone (shout out to Audible lol) . She mentioned this in her book. So glad to hear about this, it was much needed.
Hope everyone have a good day today✌🏼
istg if i get these types of videos on my recommended bc of being forced to watch this for school i will cry
Like me
maybe this is a bit premature- but this video really changed the dynamic of how i view problems and live my life. i had been trying to figure out for days what it was that was holding me back from really learning all the information i had to learn (in medical school and beyond) and it was exactly this- the fixed mindset. to view challenges as new opportunities to figure something out, and to accept failure as part of the process is key. i think that we get so afraid of failing and feeling inadequate that it prevents us from doing the hard (and usually more meaningful) things. this video really solidified the concept and it has made me excited- rather than nervous- for all the new things i have yet to learn. THANK YOU!
Very Welcome !!! thank you for your great feedback Mihika!

I turned 60 this year and it took me most of those years to realise that a growth mindset hasn't benefited me once in my life. I avoid failure by avoiding doing thing I might fail at. Has served me well.
Eu também fiz 60 anos este ano (abril), e vivia igual a você. Infelizmente o divórcio, para mim, aconteceu, porém, com isso, minha mente mudou, e agora não tenho medo de nada. Estou fazendo faculdade, estou me programando para fazer viagens (pelo menos duas vezes ao ano), voltei a ler livros, voltei a caminhar e pedalar, e pretendo mudar de cidade em breve. Isso tem feito muito bem para mim.
Não tenha medo de falhar. Só falha quem tenta. Seja forte. Pense apenas no seu crescimento, e todos à sua volta irão se beneficiar. 😉
@@Malu0426Thank you for your kind comment. However, I neither have the inclination, desire or energy required to have a growth mind set.

@Delvonte' Bratcher why not?
I think there's a little of both in me. Sometimes there is a challenge and I'm afraid I'm going to fail. If I fail I now know that I can do it again and do it right. I can try no matter what happens because I can redo it over and over. I play the guitar and when I get stuck I don't quit. I rethink it and try again. I do like to take the easy way sometimes, but sometimes I take the hard way too. -4th grade student
I don't know if schools are trying to make creative minds or make some kind of grade A mass produced products fresh from the factory known as school
School has its ups and downs. There's benefit to the way it's done but it has some major drawbacks. I've found the best way to do it is to beat beating the system. What I mean by that is, people have to choose for themselves to figure out how to love learning. Really, you'll get out of it what you put into it. I've been using school to change my mindset recently; going through the motions not with the intent of the grade but with the intent of becoming better.
The grade's important too though...
I am living proof of past actions. ”Fixed thinking” sought out employed, and in my own situation of misfortune, I used hard challenges to feel ok making mistakes and that cultivated a (want to) come use my service. Throughout my life. And As I matured. I took opportunities to intern at multiple shops, to improve upon the technique for which I used in my own later successful business dealings. Out of unfixed thinking a rather complex ”mind over matter” way of thinking was revealed. This to customers made me a power plant genius. I was certainly one of my most challenging obstacles over the years and throughout the joyful rebuilds, and time. I'd taken an ever closer step and deserve or earned credit for my builds. This I was rightfully proud of and confidence boomed high as the heavens. Every customer repeatedly used my services solely based on the fact that I didn't rely on a fixed mindset to fail. Failure to assemble correctly, make costly mistakes than repeat my work several times. Was an example of my due diligence, eagerly wanting to seek to outsource to help me truly understand where my mistakes we're. And their solutions. No matter how many, big or small, expensive or not. Projects returned by my name. Trust He would. ”I always receive, (in the end) a place to leave more complex mechanisms” Knowing self-assured, that no matter how much learning it took ”me” he would be a good reference to the company not only professionally but in reference to my emotional and subjective attitude where there is no place for a fixed mindset. Rather old fashion mindset.

You can go from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset. For the past 10 years have been working on moving away from the fixed to the growth. Doing so has helped me with my anxiety and fear of failure. It is still a work in process but I will succeed.
People often settle for things that they think will give them what they want, for example choosing a job or a field they don't like only for the salary package it offers or to follow your friends who have picked up a particular subject. This is what is happening nowadays with youngsters who aren't following what they like to do, the hidden passion that they love.
The only way to switch to a growth mindset is to follow what you love doing irrespective of what the output is. Once you do what you like doing pretty well, you will achieve great heights automatically.
SO TRUE !
Karthikeyan Arul following your passion is biggest bullshit. You need to eat too. This mindset is good for kids, who don't have responsibility to look after. What you need is pragmatic passion. Be practical in following your passion. Know your limitations, and work around them.
yeah
I have picked up a lot of extra hours at work after people who had a passion for a new job, then didn't stick with it once it became difficult.
Being willing to work toward something _even when it is unpleasant_ is an important predictor of success.
You can choose to become very good at a specialty that is not your first passion, in order to have a good income and a lifestyle that allows you to keep doing the things you love regardless of whether they make money. Many artists and musicians don't want the stress of trying to make a living in entertainment. Many people in health care have other hobbies, or work primarily to support family; the work can be satisfying, but it is also difficult, boring, dangerous.
If you "marry" your career for passion, but do you have a deep and faithful love to keep picking up the dirty socks long after the honeymoon is over?
It is great to always be pursuing something that interests you. But this doesn't have to be your day job. Not everything that we passionately love can or should be used to make money.
@@EKWisner Hi, I wrote this comment a long time ago when I still believed in the meritocracy of our society. I have come to understand that our places of work are not healthy environments. We have political democracy but our workplaces are mini dictatorships where you don't get a say in what is made, how is it made and where is it made. Not only that we aren't paid the full value of our work and which is what constitutes profits (stolen labour) but that we have no say whatsoever in our places of work. This is a major contributor to understand what drives our passions. I think in a society where workers have complete control over their places of work (here work means both intellectual and manual labour, there is a technical difference but basically anyone who exchanges their time for money is a worker) will be able to not only pursue some passion that they like but create new avenues for themselves that are liberating and satisfying. Even a place where you flip burgers can be called home if you collectively own it and make decisions together. Does that make sense?
I would also ask that why should you be paid less if you love doing your job? I think artists and musicians are tricky to understand but why should any other job we like be low paying?
The keys to the kingdom - anyone who watches this and applies it to their life will see immediate gains and never look back at the fixed mindset again for the problems they care most about solving in their life 😊
I di switch from fixed to growth thanks to covid-19. it was during those months of isolation and solitude that the lightbulb clicked over my head. and i am delighted to bravely say that i am on the right track despite moments of waning will and swaying for short-lived comforts. i discovered my grit, eventually.
finally after 4months of trying I'm getting growth mindset
congratulations!
It’s been 5 years and I’ve gotten nowhere.
Amazing !
I've always been a growth mindset. The kind of growth mindset who will be able to spend 6 nights without sleeping to achieve something who will try 11 times until getting his driving license, who will never stop to look backward to his achievements ...
What have been done will never matter, the daily challenge is to look for what to do next !
I would be happy to have a small fixed mindset part and learn to balance both of them
Stop for a while to take advantage of what have been already achieved
HAHA!
It's like you tube knows exactly what I need to see. I'm so crippled by being publicly ridiculed it has stopped me from really starting my life.
I don't think anyone likes that feeling, but it's sometimes more the fear or anticipation of being ridiculed that is more harmful. We are all on a journey - be encouraged, your story is still being written.
This is tied to a person's upbringing and the older you get the harder it is for someone to accept that what they know or have been doing all along was wrong and that can make anyone sad or look bad. If you choose to cast off the shackles of pride and shame and choose humility and enlightenment you can grow and benefit.
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my TH-cam channel 2 months ago about self development. Now I have 155 subs and almost 75 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place.
Congratulations!
@@sprouts My channel has almost 200 subs and 84 hours of watch time although my next video completion progress has been pretty slow due to switching to another editing software and change of gears but no matter how slow it is to make videos, I do enjoy it. I know that my channel is way more low quality and not even close to other TH-camrs' success out there but really, I realized that the main reason for doing this is not about the success but the inspiration I've been providing some people with my stories and experiences. Whoever you are, I don't know you personally but I can say based on what you said, I can say that you're one of the non-judgmental and open-minded people who is not fixated on tangible or external factors in order to learn from someone like me. Just because someone doesn't have a piece of paper as a credential, doesn't mean that person is not entitled to share personal experiences with the hope & intention to inspire others. Keep up with whatever it is that you're doing to improve mankind or improving your life even to a slight degree each day. This is just one part of a bigger puzzle for creating my TH-cam channel about holistic health. I literally could have died back when I was 14 years old due to major depression but here I am right now replying to you, a TH-camr, who's full of fulfillment and dedication to help others to be a better version of themselves. I ain't better than anyone else but my old self. That's all that really makes this TH-cam thing more meaningful and enjoyable. Thanks so much for your support!
this is very inspiring
Thank you Bradley. Comments like yours keep us going!
awesome video...by creating images it becomes very easy to understand.... i am grateful to you..
This is good
Awesome video. Most times I switch from fixed to growth mindset and vice versa. But now I will try to be consistent with growth mindset. Thanks for the video.
Ya know, just change your entire character, ya know that thing that neuroscience has proven to be formed during early childhood (from years 0-2) and to be unchanging throughout life, depending on the interaction between mother and baby (in the first two years of life), and you'll succeed! WOOOO!
It's a great way to explain your employee's failure too; 'oh they were just in the wrong state of mind. Nothing to do with the idea they might be literally unable to achieve the goal I set them'
Rythmes are set firmly in early childhood, but they are not the be all and end all.Perception is set deep with in our physiology/psych , are far as I can tell all faculties in the mind can be tuned , adapted, strengthened, just as one is able to strengthen ones ligaments, bones,muscles,resistants to cold and heat, via the right amount of stimulus/stress and apropriate response. "Adaption"
What's positive about refusing to believe that you can't change for the better?
This comment is an example of fixed mindset.
TerryTonyThomas positivity is irrelevant, it’s about weather they’re right or not
It obviously doesn't feel good when someone is pointing out your negative attitude, especially when someone mentions the name like this video did to me.. But at the same time it had told me to develop by myself, so I would not take it in a negative perspective and now i will try to be confident and improve myself.
Thanks for making this video. 👍
Perfectly happy with my fixed mindset :) I live for having fun, not to do some chores. I am not a product, I have nobody to sell myself to and I am comptent with my personnality so... No problems :). Glad with who I am, as I am, just enjoying my life as it is and myself as I am. I love to read with zen music in the background, petting my dog, solitude , tea, being in the nature and peace of mind. Why would my life be less valuable that challenger's lives ? Not everybody has to be ambitious and outgrow everything... Just chill
The fear for me is not so much being laughed out. My biggest fear is to be overwhelmed : I like a quiet existence at a slow pace. I am woman of simple pleasures 😌
Seriously man, Your drawings are awesome. I really loved the way of your approach in explaining. Keep it up.
I would like to learn drawing, any suggestions please.
THANKS!
Just enjoy scribbling at first dont belabor on creating a single image. Keep on going and you'll see improvement in your drawings. Search for the vid "Process Learning" by Sprouts its my inspiration in this suggestion. Hope it helps. God bless! 😄
was scrolling down for comments appreciating his drawing ...do let me know if u found any ways to learn to draw ... :D
First, you must practice having a growth mindset to get through it. Then, draw things that are hard for you. After a long time of practicing and failing, you will be able to draw anything! :)
My advice is to make lots of observational sketches but also do a lot of doodling and not be too fussed about the outcome. Also you can try to emulate someone to learn techniques but dont compare yourself to other artists so much. I do this a lot and it only disheartens me.
Jay is an introvert and has anxiety. Anne is an extrovert and has impulsive tendencies.
Lol
That could be true because we are a sum of many parts, but no matter your personality, you can learn a growth mindset if you want to become less defensive and to see failure as part of learning.
That's the thing. There is no scientifical term of "introvert-ness" or "extrovert-ness" . Almost allpeople are born with same body condition. The environment is responsible for our beliefs. However just think that, if they were in the same environment. Jay would fail and he would've stoped trying to opening up to poeple. On the other hand Anne would try again and try again. she would get confident more and more. So she'll be an extrovert. And about anxiety. Everyone has it. U just have to push harder, even the greatest leaders admit that they had anxiety issues but they've overcame it. For example Anthony Padilla he was so introverted that he had many anxiety attacks for just being around people. Now look at him , he's a famous TH-camr and an extrovert. I'm not perfect also. But we all must push out limits and we'll succeed insha Allah 🌸
@@pattyhutton5188 hmm but dont you need a growth mindset in order to get a growth mindset?🤔
@@Patty_Brard i guess you need a "will" or "need" to develop a growth mindset.. since u r stuck at fixed one... it's gonna take some hard-ass determination to do so. :-)
I appreciate watching this video. Can be able to differentiate both mindset and correlate how they affect the way i co-ordinate and strategize my daily plans.
This video spoke to me. I use to feel like the little boy and still face that inner boy. I’m definitely breaking away from that and becoming more open-minded about what I do and how I do it. It’s always good to learn and try new thing. Living in fear of what people are going to say or think is all in the head. I want to grow not get stuck in a ditch and stuck in my ways. Growth is important.
Thanks Keleyn! Best wishes to you!
I believe that is possible to change mindset. For me it looks like the same as we were buiding new roads and started driving on them. And doing this would be pretty hard, especially at the beginning. But with time gets easier and there is a lot of joy then. And to be realistic, the fails also wait us on this way of learning of growth mindset, even in years, despite of being succesfull in that. So, as they said, just try again, fail again, fail better:)
If I can attain a permanent growth mindset then would I have a fixed mindset about a growth mindset?
Good point. And maybe yes. Although one could argue that a permeant state of a growth mindset could also lead to a view shared by Sokrates: I know that I know nothing. In which case the idea of mindset would be meaningless and you would be trapped thinking that your mindset keeps growing.
What an incredible question and what an incredible answer from Sprouts.
@@waterfallsdontsaymeow2917 lol nice one
I like this video very much.It turns you on Mistakes are necessary! thank you guys !
yes. thanks for your appreciation.
one of the best utube videos i have seen....
THANKS !!!
I learned a long time ago to keep an open mind by engaging in new ideas and ways to be creative which enhances your drive and ability to create your future.
I had to be medicated to actualize the power of my mind. I was able to read, watch, and listen to lots of self help materials. I reached out to people in the related fields of interest as myself and seek for mentorship. I now mentor young men with drug abuse/alcohol abuse/ mental disorders. The joy i receive from mentoring those young men is like no other joy ive experienced in life. To the readers out there, i believe in you! YES you can do it! Failure is normal. Fear is normal. It takes time for change to happen. Anger and frustration is part of the journey to self improvement. Yes, it sounds silly. People have called me crazy, but i dont mind it. I rather be crazy and successful rather than being a contempt loser.
Hi Leolus. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences. Hang in there :)
To Achieve Growth Mind Set,
STOP doing the following :
X
1. Fear of failure
2. Fear of being judged
3. Being judgemental and cynical
4. Being jealous of people around
&
START doing the following:
V
1. Appreciating people for their efforts
2. Being compassionate
3. Be excited about life in general
4. Exercise & Meditate
5. Learn a new skill
6. Embrace uncertainty
7. Accept failures
I believe with a growth mindset,one can handle any obstacle that he faces
You really can’t
@@GAPIntoTheGame
You really can, as long as you have choices you can improve something; either externally (actions/habits) or internally (attitude/perspective). And those choices build up and compound making you stronger, skilled, flexible and extremely resilient. To the point that you'll embrace whatever comes your way, even pain.
Jonathan Meddis you can’t breath in outer space without any equipment
@@GAPIntoTheGame
Sure, then you'll turn your attention inside and focus you your attitude and perspective in the face of death; willingly and gracefully accepting your fate with dignity, courage and gratitude for the life you had.
Or maybe you could just not be stupid and use proper equipment while in space lol
Jonathan Meddis you can’t handle the obstacle of not dying when you face said obstacle. Therefore you can’t handle everything.
10 people have a fixed mindset and don't want to change. Awesome drawings, by the way!
12*
It something I have been practicing right now. If you don't try or fail, you cannot learn.
I don't know about a "permanent switch" but I definitely believe we can build momentum in either direction/build our tendency towards one or the other.
I agree. I think like most binaries, there's a little bit of both in most of us. I am dedicated to the idea of lifelong learning, but I still hate admitting when I don't know something or am out of practice. And while I believe that effort matters far more than talent, I also notice myself wanting to help people find their path to success based on relatively superficial things that could makes it "easier" for them - for example looking at people's body types when advising them on careers.
You can instantly change your mind set in any way you want.
These videos are master class. Bravo
THANK YOU SO MUCH :)
its amazing how a 2D drawing with a doug funnie style can instantly let u know that " hey, thats amy winehouse"
I'm watching this for school but I genuinely enjoyed the message and art used. I've heard this concept a lot but this video actually got the point across to me.
Thank you for giving us this information on how to be a good student. We will do our best to follow it! love, my 4th grade class.
Yup, try and fail, but for improvement!
I think I'm 50% Growth & 50% Fixed but I'm going to try and turn it into 100% Growth
It’s funny because even though I understand where this is coming from, many of these videos forget about nurodivergent people who might have a lot more trouble learning things than most. For me, I know I CAN read, but it’s really hard to read, and I feel stuck. I haven’t gotten better, even though I try. Same with being focused. I cannot focus on one thing for a longer period of time for the life of me. Therefore, it’s a lot harder for me to learn and grow. I try to listen and focus, it’s just a lot harder for me. There some cases that even though you might have a growth mindset, it’s a lot harder to grow. And also, when you keep failing and you aren’t getting better, it’s slot harder to keep a growth mindset all the time, because you know you are different, and that others are succeeding, but you are still at a 5th grade reading level.
Anyway, I would love to see a growth mindset video talking about that stuff as well, because saying, “if you have a growth mindset you can do anything!” Isn’t very helpful, because everyone is different and there are some things that are a lot harder/impossible for some people to do.
Also, not to mention trauma. Many people have a fixed mindset because of childhood trauma, such as parental abuse. I do respect these videos, and I see where they are coming from, but it’s not as black and white as these videos make it seem. There are a lot of factors that go into being in a fixed mindset that aren’t just social insecurities.
I also heavily agree. While watching this video, it really felt black and white. To simply somehow "change" your mindset is discouraging because it's not that easy as it seems. Sure, with effort, we can grow and become better, but the way the video showed it, I feel like there's a lack of depth of where a fixed mindset originates from.
Preach!
Thank you for these videos. I’m sharing them with my 10 year old and he saw this one and said he wants to have a growing mindset and I told him I do too. It’s never to early or late to decide to change. We are going to start doing things to work on that goal. He’s already great and I love his positive attitude, it give me life. I’m the one who needs work. Thank you for your videos.
Wonderful! Thank you for the great feedback and all the best to the two of you! :)
After watching the Mindset video I can say I use both a fixed mindset and a growth mindset I love learning and researching.
I feel like im a fixed mindset guy. I really wanna learn more but my 2 biggest problems prevent me from it, those are that im a slow learner and i got some type of social anxiety. when I read something the information from it doesn't stay in my head most of the time so I gotta re read it many times. I also doubt knowledge a lot, like ill just read or learn something and think it might be false even though i know what i read/learn before was supposedly true. Did bad in english class because of that. main reason why I didn't go to college. Ive been quiet my whole life, there were days in elementary school where i didn't say 1 word for the whole school day. as i got into highschool i had some friends id talked to but i still hardly talk to them. i never went to anything my friends invited me to because i feel like it would've been less enjoyable for them because i wasn't one to talk much. i never really consider them to be real friends because they thought i was cool and nice probably because i was quiet but i know they didn't really care about me that much. now im an adult and i only enjoy talking to 1 guy at work but its mainly him talking because hes 50 and im 21, most of my interests he doesn't care for and usually old people like to talk because they got a lot of wisdom they like to share. i avoid everything that involves socializing for the last 2 years. i don't even go to my grandmas for the holidays because i don't like talking to my relatives. i don't go out to eat,shopping, movies, etc with family because that involves socializing. all i do now is go home upstairs and play videogames or go jogging to stay in shape. if i ever get into a conversation id stay for a little and then find the opportunity to slip out of it most of the time because i know i don't put out much to conversations. I really want to improve these problems and the solutions i think might work is for slow learning just force myself to read everyday and the social anxiety i think all i need is a best friend(ive never had one) that actually cares about me. Anyone got tips to help me fix my issues? this is more of a cry for help tbh. i want to change but im struggling to overcome these problems, i kind of still wanna go to college but one thing i learned from working 8 hour shift is that most people want someone to talk to make their day go by faster and more enjoyable. so if i did invest into a career im sure they would want someone that could actually socialize with them. Something i wanna add is when im reading or in a conversation i daydream or zone out A LOT, mainly for reading though. Also his probably doesn't relate to the video as much anymore either
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Good luck!
I know im answering a 4 year old question, but i think it may help anyone reading this.
A practical trick is:
Become really skilled at something, and people (in that field) will search for you no matter how non-social you are
Well that was really interesting, and at the same time, simple, which is important in a good video
About the topic
This video, is not showing the complete idea. Basically when you are young this video is 100% useful, because explore is important, but once you find what you want, you use the fixed mindset even if you don't want. why? Because we don't have time for everything, which means, that you will avoid things that not really important in your situation or that simply you don't have enough time for it. So it is important to have a open growth mind set, but is important to be realistic, and CHOOSE what do you want to be good, practice makes perfect but practice needs time.
I'm too lazy to read that
this is so inspiring!!!!and great artwork as well
I always thought the intelligence quality of people are fixed before I saw this video. This video is a great inspiration to me, I may be no't afraid to fail and be laughed at. just try again and again. everything can be better by effort.
Slay soul sister! No matter how much you fail you should always try. When growth mindset people fail, they say, "Good Game!" When fixed mindset people fail, they say, "I am the worst!" From: Miss Sutton's 2nd period class
I think there are few differences between people like Jay and Anne. As being said, Anne has some sort of extraversion and Jay has some features in introversion. If you have some such distinguishable features like taking all what happnening around you seriously and criticize things where yoy think like realist, you can simply remained Fixed-Minded and it is the truth you will never heard. I'm this kind of person who are very sensitive to critics because I was ashamed of my work done in school and after. But after a year or so, I changed my place of living, accepted new rules of living in new country and realized that.. Yes, you can fail, but what's the matter of it? Everyone fail, everybody will fail on the first place in activities thet have never tried before. Just try and do. Do you enjoy? Yes, you do. Are you learning? Yes, you are! Nevertheless, there eventually will be a momentum where you were mentally placed in your "old coat" of your thoughts and you will be returned in the coat of old Yourself.
