3. When do you feel smart?
The big question
 When I do not make any mistakes. In other words,
you’re supposed to be perfect.
 When I work on something for a long time and I start
to figure it out. In other words, when you are learning.

4. What is Mindset?
Mindsets are beliefs—beliefs about
yourself and your most basic qualities.
Think about your intelligence, your
talents, your personality.

5. 5
Kinds of Mindsets
A fixed mindset reflects a belief in natural talent: that
qualities such as intelligence, creativity, and talent are
predetermined and finite. These qualities are so set that
whatever you lack, you will continue to lack.
Belief that intelligence is fixed. “intelligence is
portrayed as an entity that dwells within us and that we
can’t change”
Fixed Mindset

Kinds of Mindsets
A growth mindset is a belief that basic abilities can continue
to be developed through hard work and dedication.
These innate qualities are just starting points with success
being the fruit of effort, learning, and persistence. Belief that
intelligence is malleable. “intelligence is portrayed as
something that can be increased through one’s efforts”
In growth mindset, people are made, not born.

7. …avoid challenges
…give up early
…see effort as a fruitless or worse
…ignore useful negative feedback
…Feel threatened by the success of others
As a result, they may plateau early and
achieve less than their full potential
All this confirms a
deterministic view of the world
…find lessons and inspiration in the success of others
…learn from criticism
…see effort as the path of mastery
…persist in the face of setbacks
…embrace challenges
As a result, they reach ever
higher levels of achievement
All this gives them a
greater sense of free will

What is your mindset?
Your intelligence is something very basic about you that you
cannot change very much
You can learn new things, but you cannot really change how
intelligent you are
No matter how much intelligence you have, you can always
change it quit a bit
You can always substantially change how intelligent you are

13. “A few modern philosopher's assert that an individual’s intelligence is a fixed quantity, a quantity
which cannot be increased. We must protest and react against this brutal pessimism…with
practice, training and above all method we manage to increase our attention, our memory, our
judgement and literally to become more intelligent that we were before.”
-Alfred Binet, the Inventor of the IQTest

14. “I don’t divide the world into weak and strong or successes and failures. I
divide the world into learners and non-learners.”
-Benjamin Barber
