The main argument of the book so far is whats the difference
between growths mindset and fixed mindset. Personally I don’t really care about
this argument but since the title of the book is called Mindset the argument
seems pretty valid to me. Yesterday in class we discussed these two mindsets
and debated on what the two meant , which was nature and nurture along with
what type of motivation would they qualify as, intrinsic or extrinsic. AS a
class we first defined these two mindsets in our own words. Growth mind set is
the belief that basic qualities are things you can cultivate through effort. In
other word you are willing to learn new things and take on challenges. Growth
mind set is intrinsic motivation and more of nurture. After going over growth
mindset we did the same with fixed mindset. We came to conclusion that fixed
mindset is the belief that you have a fixed amount of ability and intelligence.
Basically saying that what you know already is all you need to know basically
limiting yourself to things and not expanding your own knowledge. Fixed mindset
is an extrinsic motivation and is a gene
that you are born with. Some people can be one or the other and sometimes
people can be both depending on how their mind works . Personally I think I have
a growth mindset. I believe that if I work on things I can gain growth in them
and get better as time goes on I am not one to give up and I have learned to be
this by other I look up too.
