    I've received several comments about me using the word "turtle" instead of "tortoise." Let me address this.
    First, through my research, I've noticed that the "Turtle and Rabbit" story is an accepted version of the "Tortoise and Hare." But I agree it might have been better if I stuck to the original version.
    Second, I also agree that the animal portrayed in the animations in this video is, most likely, a tortoise. However, a quick search in the Encyclopedia Britannica enlightened the fact that tortoises are, in fact, turtles! I quote:
    "All tortoises are, in fact, turtles-that is, they belong to the order Testudines or Chelonia, reptiles having bodies encased in a bony shell-but not all turtles are tortoises."
    End quote.
    A reason for me using the word "turtle" is that, in my native language, there's only 1 word for both 'species,' which is: "schildpad." Hence, I've never distinguished a turtle from a tortoise when naming these animals.
    Hopefully, my clarification extinguishes the flaring tempers caused by my choice of words. As I'm developing my growth mindset, I'm happy to have become more aware of the differences (and similarities) between the "turtle" and the "tortoise."

    It's been a few months that I was finally able to move away from a fixed mindset. In this time, I've taken up another university course, started learning another language and, I have to say, despite the new challenges, life is lighter.

    I'd say the most interesting thing about Dr. Dweck's book was how towards the end she made it clear that we are all equal parts growth/fixed mindset. One can adopt a growth mindset to be sure, but your fixed mindset remains a part of you all the same. Dr. Dweck recommended her student's to name their fixed mindset "persona's" as she called them. Mine is John, and he's a stuffy British guy who keeps looking down his nose at me and telling me I can't do stuff. I just LOVE proving him wrong! As with most therapeutic techniques this sounds a little odd until you try it, and it actually works rather well! Dweck's point behind creating a "persona" seemed to be illustrating very clearly to yourself precisely the type of person you're striving NOT to be. And yet she also suggested attempting to consider your fixed persona as a friend of sorts since it is still a part of you of course.

    I was a gifted child, school was easy for me and I didn't have to study to be on the top 5 every single year... But school is not life and now I'm an adult, I am autistic and was undiagnosed almost all my life.
    Real life is a challenge, to survive.
    I've also developed dysautonomia (my autonomous nervous system sometimes fail and automatic functions like blood pressure get affected)
    Living a life full of expectations but now having a disability made me develop the growth mindset
    Even if my talents are not enough, I will make an effort, I will be enough.
    It's not easy to take challenges when already all my life is a challenge every single day
    But even if I grow very slowly, slower than someone without disability, at least I'm growing

    Growing up always being told that I'm dumb and not going to go anywhere really resulted in me building up the will to be successful/good at certain things.
    And it brought me to wanting to better myself and outgrow the others.
    But now having built some skills it resulted in a kind of arrogance and resistance to grow.
    I often think I have to defend myself and my skills to prove "I'm not dumb anymore, I am good at stuff. You can't judge me" and sometimes forget that accepting that you're always growing and never perfect is an important aspect of life and also success.
    And that aspect is also what brought me to where I am now and will drive me further.

  • @philipkim9779

    Having a growth mindset is not just about discipline and hard work; it encompasses much more. While individuals with a growth mindset certainly put in the effort to achieve their goals, what truly sets them apart from others is their response to failure. Although hard work and effort increase the probability of success, they do not guarantee it. However, those with a growth mindset approach failure differently. They view failure as an integral part of the learning process and do not dwell on it. Their resilience in the face of failure is a key factor that propels them towards success.
    Moreover, I want to emphasize that if you're someone who is wondering why you're struggling to adopt a growth mindset, please don't blame yourself for it. Blaming yourself isn't really productive in this case. It's important to be patient with yourself and accept that developing a growth mindset takes time and effort. So, instead of being hard on yourself, try to approach it with a sense of understanding and give yourself the space to grow. Just keep working on it and don't get discouraged. Remember, it's a journey, and progress will come with time. So, be kind to yourself and stay committed to your personal growth. You'll see the benefits in the long run.
    It is crucial to understand the underlying psychological complexities that contribute to the lack of a growth mindset in many individuals. Developing a growth mindset requires a nurturing environment that allows children to embrace failure and recognize it as a valuable learning experience. Unfortunately, most people are taught to avoid failure and perceive it as something negative. Consequently, failure becomes associated with emotional pain and discomfort. When failure is experienced repeatedly, it can lead to a state of learned helplessness. Consequently, it becomes exceedingly difficult for adults to adapt a growth mindset. Although the concept of a growth mindset may be understood, incorporating it into one's life is challenging due to learned behaviors.
    Adopting a growth mindset necessitates unlearning previous behaviors and acquiring new ones, which requires considerable time and effort. The journey towards developing a growth mindset is not only about discipline, effort, and consistency. It involves addressing the psychological barriers that arise from fear of failure and the mental damage inflicted by past failures. People with a growth mindset, unlike others, find enjoyment in the face of hardship and challenges, actively embracing the journey itself.
    In summary, the development of a growth mindset is a psychologically intricate process. It is influenced by the nurturing environment one grows up in, where children are encouraged to accept failure as an integral part of the learning process. Many individuals struggle to adopt a growth mindset due to the negative associations they have with failure and the learned behaviors that hinder their progress. Embracing a growth mindset requires a conscious effort to unlearn previous behaviors and cultivate new ones, which takes significant time and dedication. Just remember to be patient with yourself, stay committed, and approach it with kindness. The journey to a growth mindset is worth it in the end.

    Failure is so powerful. With a mindset of "I will", each failure adds to your resolve and ability, until ultimately there is no more room for failure because everything you need for success has accumulated over time and effort. Trick is to have something you're driven to do, something with a strong meaning to you. Often we have many of those but we bury them under distractions, they whisper to us here and there but we brush them away oblivious to their power in our lives, if only we'd see them.

    I’m a pianist, and I have been playing for over ten years and I have three degrees in music. I realized 3 years ago that I wanted to get into liturgical music and organ playing as I’ve sang in church choir my whole life. As it turns out the organ is quite different, especially learning to coordinate your feet. Growth mindset has been essential in this transition and it took a good three years of playing like garbage to start to be able to play entire services decently. Now I’m not an expert yet but I’ve built a foundation. All of this is to say:
    if you’re learning something new, keep persisting even through failure! It will pay off.

    In the past I have tended to have a stubborn and fixed mindset and believing that I am incapable and can't achieve much, but I am gradually learning as I get older to have more of a growth mindset. Life has shown me that I am capable of achieving more than I thought. But then when I was younger I really felt like I was not capable of anything and I was worthless. So I still haven't really achieved much. But I am trying to believe in myself more. Although I think most of what I have achieved has been due to luck, but then you still have to show up and make the effort, and then the luck gets you the rest of the way, I think.

    Great video again, Einzelgänger! In fact, I have been in a growth mindset transformation lately. In the last three months, I have started looking for job opportunities with a strong focus on how I look myself in the short and mid-term. Therefore, I have started to learn new skills or develop some untapped ones, especially quantitative ones. I am already applying this approach to my current work, and this is evident to my line manager and other colleagues, but most importantly to myself. I am enjoying every bit of this self-discovery process, learning a lot and feeling self-fulfilled. No matter the outcomes, I am becoming the process, and this feels amazing. This professional search is also translating into my personal life and providing my new insights about my inner work and my impact in this 3D reality. Thank you for your great work!

    It's like dichotomy of idealism and pragmatism. Idealism is not that rooted in reality, hence less pragmatism in life, while pragmatism followers have problems of the other kind, thinking to follow only what is useful. Idealists may have problems with reaching goals, because they would feel more stress and anxiety, while pragmatists have less tension about those matters. Though, pragmatists may find themselves in the situation of lacking of any creativity. Like they work hard, but they sometimes say to themselves that «some things are stupid, because there is no benefits in them», while idealists may see that «working hard is stupid» and «everything should be easy», while having creativity, but with less resources to make their dreams come true. Synthesis of idealism and pragmatism is a wise solution, because you would get necessary parts, that will be handy in real life and without losing your creativity.

    Many Years back when i was met with physics i hated it i just hated doing physics because the problems in it were hard and not easy to think and thus i thought to myself that i am never gonna study physics when i grow up,
    I am now studying Physics as my main subject because it's my favorite subject, there came an incident when i needed to pass a test or my career depended on it and that test contained physics(optics/magnetism and stuffs) i studied but hated at first but that was solely because of my pre-made beliefs about the subject, i learned physics in depth and started seeing much more applications in real life, i kept jumping into problems/Questions, even if i kept failing to solve i found that was only that i did not knew may be just a minor detail, i kept taking challenges and learned through the process, i passed the exam and now i specialised at Quantum Physics, the conclusion is that with the growth mindset you don't care about how much outcomes you're getting instead you get the kick of taking challenges and learning in the way.

    Thank you for this wonderful video Einzelgänger.
    Right before this, I didn't realize that I was unknowingly suffering from this painstaking mindset. I thank you that the term fixed mindset was the right wording of it.
    I certainly relate to that above average man in terms of both intelligence and skills that you have mentioned. I was of course embarrassed but decided to watch the video until the end.
    With that little act of watching til the end, I realized that having this fixed mindset won't make my life better at all, and the solution surfaced- replacing fixed into growth mindset. I will definitely work it out in changing from here on. Thank you once again

    Fixed mindset here, currently a 4th year college student who faced diffculties during my junior year that made me lose interest in the course that iam in (even tho i started with great enthusiasm), i tried to desperately change courses or drop out but was faced by my parents who wanted the best for me, tbh im still unsure till now with what i want to do in life (having a feeling of being lost and hopelessness).
    Now i realized one thing, not one time in my last 4 years have I tried to improve, i always brushed my negative feelings away by video games and procrastination and said to myself "oh well i guess im stuck here till i get my degree then leave", i never had the thought of self improvement all because i had this argument with my parents about leaving the course which when faced with denial made me even more stubborn, and when i get a bad grade i coped that i didn't want it in the first place even tho i studied the day before the exam but not before that, i still have 1 year left before i finish, if you were in my shoes what would you do?

I gave up my dream of becoming the most disciplined professional tennis champion because of my societal anxiety and my severe lack of social skills concerning proper behavior amongst peers. Because of this video, i have decided to continue my dream of becoming the best, and i will crawl from Texas to Florida like a slow turtle if i have to, stabbing the ground and pulling my weak body to the most prestigious tennis courts in america. Thank you whoever you are. I was going to crawl to Florida aimlessly before i listened to this video.

    Thank you for this insightful video, Einzelgänger! The analogy of the turtle and the rabbit beautifully illustrates the difference between a fixed and a growth mindset. It's a powerful reminder that our inherent abilities are not the sole determinants of our success. Persistence, discipline, and a willingness to embrace challenges can lead us to achieve more than we ever thought possible. This video has inspired me to continue pushing my boundaries and to view setbacks not as failures, but as opportunities for growth and learning. Keep up the great work!

    If you think the world is divided into those who are innately growth-mindset and fixed-mindset, you are, by your own definition, fixed mindset.
    Important word: Innately.
    Another thing to consider is upbringing. One's emotional landscape is decided up to age 10, where the child has no agency or control and are at the mercy of their external environment, and all decisions are made around this. Grow up around aggressive or narcissistic parents? Bullying in school? Poverty? Inhereted mental illnesses like autism and depression? People may not be defined by their past, but damn if it isn't a ball and chain around one's ankle. Best to live in isolation such that the presence of other human beings doesn't invoke crippling envy. Well, that or lash out at people in public because keeping a lid on all this baggage is a full-time job.

    Thanks for a great production. I always have a problem of this turtle and rabbit race story because in reality, 99% of the time, the rabbit will be sleeping and waiting after the finish line of a race. The very rare situation, that sleeping mid-way in a race to lose a competition, only says that, even with Persistence, you will need that very rare 1% of extreme luck for turtle to win a race. And for most of the people, we don’t have this kind of luck most of the time.

    Challenges are not for showing others that you are perfect they are opportunities for getting better.
    You must take the risk of making fool of yourself to improve.
    Consistentlly improve your skills and never think you are already perfect and unbeatable in your field. As a computer engineering graduate I alway thought self thought software developers can not beat me at this field. Well most of them can't but some of them literraly prove me I am wrong.

Although it is an indifferent desire, I'd appreciate the name of the novel & its author. Thanks!

So gak ada yang sia-sia. Semangat.

    Byung Chul Han's "The burnout society" deals mainly with this, but the conclusions are the opposite.
    Late capitalist society pressures us into an outstanding flexibility just to survive. We have 2 or 3 jobs, we work day and night, we work on weekends, etc. It doesn't means that being fixed is the key, but recognizing that the need of constant change ain't a philosophical need but a market one.
    Some times, we need some stoicism not to change and not to move if the imperative for flexibility isn't coming from within.

    If you have a plastic bucket filled with food a rat can always nibble it's way in. But fill half a bucket with water and close it in and it will panic and drown. They could nibble a hole in the bottom, drain it then chew their way out, they just will never think that way. Limiting beliefs stop a 40 year old finding a way to play professional soccer. What if science can enhance the body or slow aging? No more limiting beliefs, I will find a way to achieve what I want

    Someone could also fall into the fixed mindset mentality even if he/she doesn't have innate abilities and things don't come easy. It's easy to fall in this mindset if someone don't believe in themselves or have any hope of succeeding. That person would believe their abilities are pre-determined but in the opposite direction.
