Topic: Growth mindset versus fixed mindset (Read 869 times)

The bad thing about talented people is that they are quite arrogant about it, they are trivial with the people around them and feel that only they are talented, so talent without ethics is zero, people who are great and very successful in business and career are those who are talented and also ethical.


The meaning of the word success can be interpreted in a very broad scope, success for each person is different, so in general success is the achievement of what you want.

   When people refuse to listen to the advice and opinions of others or look down on others, they are called arrogant people. if it's done out of proud and becomes their attitude and character.
But some time, if it's not always their character, but just because they see it as not right some time, then it's not arrogant but self opinion or self decision it's also called self esteem.
So is good for some one to learn how to say no, but not always and it should also  be said maturely. One should not be seeing him self as always be on the right side but should understand that he or she is human and can make mistakes. By so doing, even if someone comes against him or her, it will not be seen as something negative to him.
  A mature person should learn how to change. Change from one opinion to another happens in different ways due to circumstances that might come over.
  One of the mature way one can grow further, is by positive emulation. What does this mean? It means when you see one that is smarter than you, try to imitate him or her and forget about your pride.  Don't compete with them!Just emulate him or her and follow the steps your friends followed if really you want to have what they have.

One can judge a person's progress by how strongly they pursue a goal in order to achieve success. It can be seen from a person's habit of developing a growth mindset as if failure turns them into knowledge for the future so that it doesn't happen again. Another thing with a fixed mindset is that they don't get out of their comfort zone, which is considered to be the case. achieve the feasibility of living so they don't want to take risks or don't need to try new things as if their life is already well provided for.

I agree with that, also those who have a fixed mindset I think they are afraid to step up so most of them are already in their comfort zone they are reluctant to step forward, even though I am sure they also want development for themselves, especially financially after all there is nothing wrong with trying new things, even though there are risks but at least it is a natural thing and like you said maybe they are difficult to adapt to a new environment.

yes there are people like this in my neighborhood, they always talk about what developments they should make to change their lives, but with the many suggestions they receive from friends or other people, they don't take any action and just do the things they usually do.  i think it will be difficult for them to change for the better because they are already stuck in a zone that makes them comfortable. and i think you are right, people like this may find it difficult to achieve success even for themselves.

The simple thing is that when we have a developing mindset, we are indirectly ready for the challenges we face, but on the other hand it is very good to do because in the end this can also be one of the encouragements for us to upgrade ourselves to be better than before because indeed with the progress of the times that is always better as time goes by, we must also indirectly have a developing mindset to keep up with it.

As for those who are in a fixed mindset, it is actually not a problem if they really want to do that when their resources are enough to be in the comfort zone but on the other hand we also cannot be an idealist in addressing situations that occur in development because in the end we also have to keep developing ourselves unless we want to be left further behind.

It do comes naturally on which it is really that something that you could really be able to do so specially if you are on a situation or condition on which you are really that needing to adjust accordingly.
Even if we do say that you do have that fixed mindset but life conditions or situations on which you would really be needing up to adjust accordingly basing up on what you are really facing on.
Its never been that simple or something that you wont really be able to react. This is why it would be that always best that you should really know and learn to adjust accordingly basing up on the condition
or situations that you are facing but i dont have any doubts if someone would be having that growth mindset on which no matter what angle we are really that seeing on which i do see this one to be preferrable.

I believe it also has something to do with self-esteem. Some people view themselves in a very negative shape, so they will naturally avoid exposing themselves in public. They will tend to avoid everything which has potential to deteriorate their fragile self-esteem even more. Maybe even ego and pride are just a breastplate to protect their weak self behind from the judgments and comparisons of the world.

Unfortunatelly, it's not so easy to change someone's mindset from fixed to growth. First of all, the person has to see the necessity of doing that, besides willing to achieve that. I think it is the hardest part of the process, because to confess to yourself your weaknesses and difficults, involves getting rid of that breastplate which is responsible for protecting your weak self-esteem. Without this armor, which is the only thing protecting the self, imagine how fearful and dubious this individual will become, until reaching a considerable development point of his new growth mindset.

However, it might be precipitate to call someone characterized by fixed mindset an immature person, because he might have become an introspective individual, exactly because that is how a plenty of life's experiences have shaped him. He has maturity, but developed it in an extremely negative way, closing himself to the world outside.

The beauty of the growth mindset is that it doesn't promise you'll never fall. It guarantees that even when you do, you won't stay down. It's the hand that pulls you back to the edge, the compass that helps you chart a new, wiser path. It's the voice that reminds you, "Falling is just another step in the climb. Learn from it, adjust your approach, and you'll rise even higher."

Remember, setbacks are not signs of failure; they're stepping stones on the road to mastery. Each fall reveals hidden weaknesses, exposes blind spots, and ultimately, teaches us the art of resilience. With every rise, we carry the lessons learned from our stumbles, making us stronger, wiser, and even more prepared for the next challenge.

A person with a fixed mindset will barely be able to adapt to changes and try to change themselves, their lives, or the way they do things because they don't feel comfortable trying new things and having new experiences. They tend to lead a simple life with easy things that don't require them to challenge themselves or their abilities because they are too afraid of losses and they think that they will get humiliated if they challenge themselves and don't come out at the other end as a winner.

Such kind of people will always have a hard time achieving a lot of success in life, and they have no issues with this. They think they have everything they need and they don't want to change or upgrade their life and lifestyle. It sounds odd but such people exist and we can see them living with us, in our society or neighborhood.

Keeping our mind ready for growth is the best while we shun the ugly mindset of fixation (if it is toward stagnancy), but at times, it depends on the definition of the two as even a fixed mindset could be very good in another school of thought, but I will not go there as I like to stick to the ideology of the OP right now. Based on the OP's ideology which you also rely on in your reply, I believe that many people are too comfortable with their situation, they do not want to wake up and move forward. Some are so dull in reasoning and creativity while others are too lazy to do anything that will move them forward, they are just relaxed or continue to procrastinate as if the time is waiting for anybody.

Many do not want to learn and expose themselves to ideas that can shape their lives positively, this will always keep them in the same sport whether they are poor or average. This is the kind of people that will always complain rather than take steps to better themselves and many would not even believe that they need more income stream but rather depend on a single source of income even as they are having financial challenges. It is often late before they realise this, while others will never realise it and will remain poor or not have that significant advancement for the rest of their life.

I forgot about this topic, this is right, there are people who think the world as either this or that, I think it is definitely not that simple. We should stop trying to categorizing everything, that's just not how it is done, we are not there and that's not how it works. There aren't people with just one or the other, there are all colors of the rainbow if you will, we are all different and we all have our own brain and desires and emotions.

I believe that I do not really like the feeling of having my own company, it scares me, in all seriousness, I should probably start something, I would do well, I am a hard worker and I know that, but I just do not want to take that risk, it just doesn't feel like I could pull it off, don't feel like doing that, doesn't mean I don't grow.

that's true, but even so it all depends on the person, because I have a friend whose habit is that he is completely covered up or has a shy attitude and tends to like to be alone, also every day his work is only playing online games even though if you look at his age he is quite old. As an adult, I experienced what you are telling me about, where when I had a decent job he asked me how to have a job like mine with a decent income too, and I as a friend of course had told him about the methods, well this is It happened over and over again where he always asked about my job even though every time I met him I definitely told him, but what annoyed me was that he didn't make any movement to change, I don't know what was on his mind but this friend of mine usually just talked. just without any action.

and when at one point I was fed up with him asking again about my work, in the end I didn't want to answer his questions again because I was fed up with his talk without any action at all. and I think he is a person who has fixed thoughts which he will change if he himself feels something that is really harsh on him, and also he must have his own awareness.

someone can change their mindset if they see or feel something, for example they see some of their work friends getting promotions or their friends earning more than them, they will definitely ask why they are not comparable to their friends or people closest to them.
From there, maybe people who are not developing are developing because of the examples they see.

Having a growth mindset has always its  advantages over a fixed mindset. Rather than having a fixed and limited mindset, wherein your scope of understanding is always in controlled, then it would be wiser to be more open for different chances and opportunities that will come into your life so that you will experience growth and development rather than being stucked to what is traditional and what you are being used to.

There's always a need for us to grow and broaden our horizons, and not to set limits because frankly speaking, those who have fixed and limited mindset are those who are susceptible to scamming and losses.

It's just with a fixed mindset, assuming that they are enjoying themselves, but they won't grow. They are satisfied with whatever state they are in in life. It seems like, being an employee, there are others who are satisfied with their monthly salary, or 15–30 date of the month salary.

There is sure that they have something to pay at the end of every month or 15–30 date. But they also know that they won't grow because they don't leave their comfort zone. But if you have a growth mindset and the system you are using is right, for sure, in the end, you will be successful.

If we do speak about overall on which it would really be connected into the slightest thing or behavior on which in form of being idle which it do touch up that you are really that lazy in doing things then this would really be able to touch up this area on which it would really be that not good for the health and since we do know that health is indeed wealth. In speaking about progress then there's no way that you would really be that progressive on this case on which it is really that something that wont really be that ideal. Yes, you are really that avoiding yourself on such potential harm and risks because busineses or investment could really impose such risks when it comes to finances. If you are that someone who would really be bare up on those risks then you would really be moving forward.

Not all would really be that just the same in speaking about behavior and targets/goals in life on which it would really be that determining about into the things that they do have in mind.
Actions would really be reflecting out on the things that they are really that thinking on the first place. If they dont have any plans at all
then they would really be just simply sitting and dont make any actions at all.

The desire to be the star of the show doesn’t always translate to being too egoistic or puts you in a position of not having a growth mindset. In fact, it could actually result in the opposite in the sense that, it could be a reason to want to be right (yeah, you made that point clear) but that zeal could mean, you do your best to avoid mistakes or wrong moves to your activities and that isn’t exactly a bad thing to do or some bad position to put yourself in.
Where it becomes a problem is in the case where, your unable to accept your flaws, there you would have a real problem as, accepting flaws translate to integrity and it’s a rare character possessed by people who are willing to go far in life.

I think growth mindset is more better than fixed mindset because we have to change our mind according to our abilities and situation because if we remains at constant level then our achievement will also be fixed but we have to change our mindset as everything is changing regularly. New technologies are arising so we have to adopt those technologies because I think that new and modern techniques are more successful than previous one.

As age is changing so materials are also getting more expensive which means that we have to move towards modern technologies because from older one we have limited amount of money so if we accept modern technologies and accept the risk then our future will be more brighter.

Growth mindset= Mature people
Fixed mindset= Immature people

Most of the time, people will never grow because of their ego and pride. They always wanted to be the star of the show, they don't want to be the wrong, they are always right. In short, they are the most annoying people you'll ever find. These kind of people will only mature to a growth mindset when something terrible happened to their lives, they will start listening to other's advices and opinions.

In my opinion. Fixed mindset, believes in relying on talent or innate traits and doesn't want to change or even doesn't want to get out of the comfort zone, while growth mindset is hard work, continuing to learn and having to continue to develop. So a growth mindset is more capable of achieving something, part of their time is used for learning, if they are criticized it is not considered an attack, they focus on results and progress so that motivation to move forward is maintained even if there are obstacles. Recognize their weaknesses, take advantage of feedback, you can also do self-reflection, they must choose the right person to provide feedback. Indeed, all of this must be related because they need people to chat about work to get to know themselves. If they are still in a fixed mindset, try to find out how entrepreneurs see challenges to improve themselves, because a growth mindset is an important factor in achieving success.
