I have a strong belief that we will all redefine our way of thinking when we read the book, Mindset. Based on clear evidences, Dweck proved the success of a growth mindset and inspires and convinces the readers via the use of three writing moves: ethos, logos, and pathos.…
Having the right mindset can make a big difference in person’s life because it can either inspire the individual to keep going or give up completely. In her book, “Mindest: The New Psychology of Success”, Carol S. Dweck argues that growth mindsets are individuals who love challenges and are not afraid of failures, they believe in their learned abilities over talents. On the other hand, fixed mindset people focus on the results only. One person can alternate from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset with the correct social influences and good mentoring from others.…

The differentiation between the two mindsets is that in a fixed mindset outcome reigns and if not the best, all the work and training has been for not. In a growth mindset however individuals value the effort and do not dwell on the result; the search and the path is deeply meaningful. Research has discovered praise should be given to effort and persistence rather than intelligence or talent. In the RTC-SK the approach will be to teach athletes to crave challenges, be intrigued by mistakes, celebrate their efforts, and to never stop learning. “Mindset is more important than talent”. Billy Beane “The mark of a champion is the ability to win when things are not quite right - when you’re not playing well and your emotions are not the right ones”. Billie Jean King “The most important thing for a soccer player to have…Mental Toughness”. Mia Hamm “I believe ability can get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there”. John Wooden “Success is about being your best self, not about being better than others; failure is an opportunity, not a condemnation; effort is the key to success”. Carol…
I read the Mindset book by Carol S, Dweck. This book really made me think and reflect about what kind of person I am. It focuses mostly on the benefits of having a growth mindset and the downside of having a fixed mindset. I learned a lot about how you can grow as a person instead of failing and giving up. Most of the most successful people are people with the growth mindset who learn from their mistakes and apply it to their career or everyday life. I use to believe that some peoples born talents are better than those who work harder but are not as naturally good. For example Michael Jordan got cut from his high school basketball team. Instead of giving up after he was told he wasn’t good enough that motivated him more and he worked hard and improved and eventually became one of the most talented basketball players in NBA history. One thing that I disliked was that the writer focused on the positive of the growth mindset when sometimes the fixed mindset can be useful. It sounds like common-sense but it is in how it carefully uses both biographical data and scientific research to strengthen the reader's understanding of the true implications of this finding. After I read 'Mindset', I understood much better why John McEnroe was famous for his tantrums (he had a very fixed mindset, a tennis loss meant that he was inherently worthless, that he was, permanently and in all aspects of life, a 'loser'), as well as why a four-star chef like Bernard Loiseau committed suicide. I learned that Chinese students who think that intelligence is unalterable don't follow remedial English courses, but also that American medical students who believe in innate ability flunk chemistry much more often than students who consider early failure as a sign that they haven't worked hard enough or that they should try other learning strategies. I also learned some things that are counterintuitive, such that you should never praise children for being smart or talented. I knew I liked the book…

Lastly, maintaining a growth mindset is the keystone to success in the workplace. Dr. Carol Dweck concluded in the book "Mindset" that a growth mindset is the belief that anything is possible, learning is endless and challenges are opportunities to grow. Being outside the comfort zone means possible failure, subsequently learning from mistakes and moving forward without fear of failing again. Alternatively, a fixed mindset is the state of mind that there is nothing else to learn and challenges are threatening. The importance of having a growth mindset is to have willingness to learn new technology, face challenges, and improve communication techniques within the workplace.…
Being gritty helps a person with a growth mindset succeed in many different ways. Gritty can be defined as being able to master something over a long period of time. To have a growth mindset means to develop the ability to grow as an individual academically. With this mindset an individual is telling themselves that they have the capability to gain more intelligence, if they stay dedicated and determined as well as being able to master a craft. As a person you may across difficult aspects throughout life, you may feel lost or unable to finish what you started. However if you want to thrive in life you must have a courageous trait as well as a growth mindset. With that positive attitude failure won’t be an option; the only thing you can do is grow.…
I was wondering if I could come in and talk to you about the physical education requirements needed to graduate. I have my own strict personal workout routine that I do daily, and adding a sport would be both physically and mentally tiring. I understand that I could just stop my routine to save my time and energy for the sport, but I have done this routine for years and it keeps me fit and awakens my brain. The workout applies to my body, my strengths, and my weaknesses personally. I am contacting you to ask for a time that I can come in and talk to you about what the real benefits of and reasons that doing a sport are and how it differs from my personal workout. I also wanted to come in to ask you if there is any alternate possible way to…

Everybody likes “A”. Even the little kids in the elementary school realize the greatness of “A”. Hence, we look for several “A”s in our daily lives; there exist a number of “A”s we love, around the world, such as “A” rank beef steak, “A” on credit rating, and “A” grade condition of a used car (Mint condition). Furthermore, most importantly, we seek for “A” grade on our assignments and exams. Yes, as everyone knows, “A” represents something nice, wonderful, astonishing and impressive.…
Growth by most definitions is an increase of some sort or another. Growth means starting at one point and continually achieving more over time. The growth mindset is no different. The concept of the growth mindset is that over time and throughout one’s life, they continually adapt, change, and achieve a higher level of understanding about themselves and how they perceive themselves. This growth is due to the fact that they are generally able to identify their faults and weaknesses as well as understand their strengths. They accept the fact that they have these deficiencies, however, they are not satisfied with them, therefore they attempt to fix them or change them. This mindset that one is never done growing, learning, developing or bettering themselves is the basis for the “growth mindset” and the epitome of what these types of individuals stand for. The ideal example of a person that would have to have a growth mindset is a golfer. Every golfer knows that they could always do better the next time. Whether it be a missed put or a shanked nine iron, there is no such thing as a perfect round. Without a growth mindset, an individual would just give up after their first round. They live by the motto that failure isn’t okay, but it isn’t the end either. They will try over and over again, hoping to achieve a different and better outcome the next time. No outcome is fixed in the eyes of these individuals.…

PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as the military combat, natural disasters, terrorism incidents, or any major tragedy. This is common in the life of veterans and is the leading cause of suicide among veterans. A VA patient who survived in Baghdad shares his experience with PTSD and explains how he knew he had this disability. Many veterans speak out about this issue and describe their continuous anger, alcohol addiction, and constantly wanted to fight. They usually feel very isolated and distant from their loved ones. One patient states, “PTSD involves rocketing into extreme states of stress re-activity; in the form of terror, rage, and uncontrollable impulses, and plunging into equally extreme states of being shut-down—exhaustion, emotional numbing, despair, and dissociation”. PTSD is about having fear and anxiety, allowing veterans to rage with anger and different emotion. There are many factors to PTSD, which affects others in different ways; or example, using video games to keep them occupied, spending money due to the lack of impulse control because of changes in their brain, and even not obtaining another job.…
