More quotes by Carol S. Dweck
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
Research shows that normal young children misbehave every three minutes.
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
Effort is one of those things that gives meaning to life. Effort means you care about something, that something is important to you and you are willing to work for it.
Carol S. Dweck
Why seek out the tried and true, instead of experiences that will stretch you?
Carol S. Dweck
You have to work hardest for the things you love most.
Carol S. Dweck
Becoming is better than being
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
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
Praising children’s intelligence harms their motivation and it harms their performance.
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
Wow, that's a really good score. You must have worked really hard.
Carol S. Dweck
