It is important to have the growth mindset if you want to succeed in life. The fixed mindset, on the other hand, could stop you from reaching your potential. This section is about switching from the fixed brain to the growth brain.
Jeśli chcesz odnieść sukces, warto skupić się na rozwoju. Sztywne ramy mogą natomiast spowodować, że nie osiągniesz pełni swojego potencjału. Ta sekcja jest poświęcona zmianie jednego nastawienia na drugie.

Do you have a growth or fixed mindset?
Jesteś nastawiony/nastawiona na rozwój czy masz sztywne nastawienie?

Not many people are clearly either of a fixed or a growth mindset. We usually favour one or the other but exhibit both depending on circumstances. That’s why it’s crucial to nurture the growth mindset in yourself and recognize what triggers the fixed mindset behaviours in you, so that you can try and work on them. How to do that?

If your instinctive reaction is to avoid such situations and give up as soon as difficulties arise, you’re exhibiting a fixed mindset behaviour. Try to perceive such situations as a way to test your limits or learn how to do something new or deal with the unexpected.

TRANSCRIPTazurewhite
It’s only natural that the idea that something requires hard work puts us off – we’re lazy by nature. But that's a fixed mindset. The point is to start seeing effort as something positive. The rule of thumb would be that if something comes to you effortlessly, then it probably was too easy for you. You could do more. So, give it a shot. And if it takes effort, embrace it as a way of getting to the finish line, you’re in the growth lane again.

TRANSCRIPTazurewhite
Enjoy the process of getting there instead of keeping your eyes on the prize of winning and you’ll find it much easier. Focusing on the result too much sets you up for disappointment in case of failure. If you focus on the process, the pleasure of overcoming obstacles and developing new skills, you’ll realize that failure is not, in fact, the end of the world. It’s a pit stop on your journey to self‑discovery.

TRANSCRIPTazurewhite
Failure often triggers fixed mindset reactions. It might be that someone criticizes your behaviour or your work. It might be setbacks that you experience that don’t even depend on you – a bike that breaks before the finish line, a bus that breaks down when you’re on your way to an exam. – it’s just the way things happen. It also might be something you do to yourself – comparing yourself to others and feeling worse than them.

Any of these situations mentioned before might make you want to cut and run. It’s up to you to realize which of them actually do. Then try not to let it happen. Ask yourself what went wrong and make a plan to do better next time. And if someone really is better than you – watch them and learn.

Actively seek challenges. Get out of your comfort zone and do something you usually try to avoid, whether it’s a new sport or taking part in a school play. Set the bar higher than you instinctively would. If you want to read a book, read it in a foreign language. Play chess with someone who’s much better than you rather than your usual partner.

Control your thoughts. Are they about progress, development, learning and the joy of facing a challenge? Or maybe the devil on your shoulder wants you to take the easy way out? If so – remember all the tips above and try to actively change your thoughts to “I can do this and I’m going to have fun while I’m at it!” Then be proud of whatever you achieve. Even if it’s not losing at chess within the first 2 minutes of playing against a master. Just enjoy the ride!

Highlight with the green all the ‘growth mindset’ utterances and in red all the ‘fixed mindset’ ones. 1. Dad, I really don’t know how to solve this physics problem, why don’t you just do it? 2. This project requires days to carry out research, I think I’ll find another project. 3. I know everything about Japanese manga, so I can write that essay with my eyes closed – that’s a topic for me. 4. Last year I was third in that race, so this year I have to have the first prize. 5. I have no idea how to tap dance, but if you give me that role I promise I’ll do my best to learn it by the time we put the school play on. 6. Jeremy has been the class president for two years now and he’s great at it, so there’s no point in trying to go up against him. I’ll just be the class treasury. 7. The teacher said she hopes I would get a C on that test, so I’m going to prove to her she underestimates me and get at least a B. Can you help me study? 8. I already speak two languages; I think that’s enough. 9. Of course I won’t win the marathon! I just want to see if I can get to the finish line the first time I take part.
