The best thing parents can do is to teach their children to love challenges, be intrigued by mistakes, enjoy effort, and keep on learning.
Carol S. Dweck
Praising children’s intelligence harms their motivation and it harms their performance.
Carol S. Dweck
This point is . . . crucial,” writes Dweck. “In the fixed mindset, everything is about the outcome. If you fail — or if you’re not the best — it’s all been wasted. The growth mindset allows people to value what they’re doing regardless of the outcome.
Carol S. Dweck
This is hard. This is fun.
Carol S. Dweck
Becoming is better than being

If parents want to give their children a gift, the best thing they can do is to teach their children to love challenges, be intrigued by mistakes, enjoy effort, and keep on learning. That way, their children don’t have to be slaves of praise. They will have a lifelong way to build and repair their own confidence.
Carol S. Dweck
Your failures and misfortunes don't threaten other people. . .It's your assets and your successes that are problems for people who derive their self-esteem from being superior.
Carol S. Dweck
For twenty years, my research has shown that the view you adopt for yourself profoundly affects the way you lead your life. It can determine whether you become the person you want to be and whether you accomplish the things you value.
Carol S. Dweck
Vowing, even intense vowing, is often useless. The next day comes and the next day goes. What works is making a vivid, concrete plan.
Carol S. Dweck
Research shows that normal young children misbehave every three minutes.
Carol S. Dweck
Why waste time proving over and over how great you are, when you could be getting better?
Carol S. Dweck
The wrong kind of praise creates self-defeating behavior. The right kind motivates students to learn.
Carol S. Dweck
Just because some people can do something with little or no training, it doesn't mean that others can't do it (and sometimes do it even better) with training.
Carol S. Dweck
The passion for stretching yourself and sticking to it, even (or especially) when it's not going well, is the hallmark of the growth mindset.
Carol S. Dweck
