Carol S. Dweck
When you enter a mindset, you enter a new world. In one world (the world of fixed traits) success is about proving you’re smart or talented. Validating yourself. In the other (the world of changing qualities) it’s about stretching yourself to learn something new. Developing yourself.
Carol S. Dweck
Failure is information-we label it failure, but it's more like, 'This didn't work, I'm a problem solver, and I'll try something else.'
Carol S. Dweck
We like to think of our champions and idols as superheroes who were born different from us. We don’t like to think of them as relatively ordinary people who made themselves extraordinary.

Carol S. Dweck
Did I win? Did I lose? Those are the wrong questions. The correct question is: Did I make my best effort?” If so, he says, “You may be outscored but you will never lose.
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
Wow, that's a really good score. You must have worked really hard.
Carol S. Dweck
Becoming is better than being
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
Picture your brain forming new connections as you meet the challenge and learn. Keep on going.
Carol S. Dweck
I don’t mind losing as long as I see improvement or I feel I’ve done as well as I possibly could.
Carol S. Dweck
The wrong kind of praise creates self-defeating behavior. The right kind motivates students to learn.
Carol S. Dweck
Why seek out the tried and true, instead of experiences that will stretch you?
Carol S. Dweck
Praising children’s intelligence harms their motivation and it harms their performance.
Carol S. Dweck
Choosing a partner is choosing a set of problems. There are no problem-free candidates.
