More quotes by Carol S. Dweck
...when people already know they're deficient, they have nothing to lose by trying.
Carol S. Dweck
Choosing a partner is choosing a set of problems. There are no problem-free candidates.
Carol S. Dweck
The wrong kind of praise creates self-defeating behavior. The right kind motivates students to learn.
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
You have to work hardest for the things you love most.
Carol S. Dweck
More and more research is suggesting that, far from being simply encoded in the genes, much of personality is a flexible and dynamic thing that changes over the life span and is shaped by experience.

Carol S. Dweck
Becoming is better than being
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
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
Why waste time proving over and over how great you are, when you could be getting better?
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
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
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.
