You Can Do More Than You Think | The Growth Mindset

[@Einzelgänger]

I've received several comments about me using the word "turtle" instead of "tortoise." Let me address this. First, through my research, I've noticed that the "Turtle and Rabbit" story is an accepted version of the "Tortoise and Hare." But I agree it might have been better if I stuck to the original version. Second, I also agree that the animal portrayed in the animations in this video is, most likely, a tortoise. However, a quick search in the Encyclopedia Britannica enlightened the fact that tortoises are, in fact, turtles! I quote: "All tortoises are, in fact, turtles-that is, they belong to the order Testudines or Chelonia, reptiles having bodies encased in a bony shell-but not all turtles are tortoises." End quote. A reason for me using the word "turtle" is that, in my native language, there's only 1 word for both 'species,' which is: "schildpad." Hence, I've never distinguished a turtle from a tortoise when naming these animals. Hopefully, my clarification extinguishes the flaring tempers caused by my choice of words. As I'm developing my growth mindset, I'm happy to have become more aware of the differences (and similarities) between the "turtle" and the "tortoise."

I was a gifted child, school was easy for me and I didn't have to study to be on the top 5 every single year... But school is not life and now I'm an adult, I am autistic and was undiagnosed almost all my life. Real life is a challenge, to survive. I've also developed dysautonomia (my autonomous nervous system sometimes fail and automatic functions like blood pressure get affected) Living a life full of expectations but now having a disability made me develop the growth mindset Even if my talents are not enough, I will make an effort, I will be enough. It's not easy to take challenges when already all my life is a challenge every single day But even if I grow very slowly, slower than someone without disability, at least I'm growing

[@directAction3389]

I'd say the most interesting thing about Dr. Dweck's book was how towards the end she made it clear that we are all equal parts growth/fixed mindset. One can adopt a growth mindset to be sure, but your fixed mindset remains a part of you all the same. Dr. Dweck recommended her student's to name their fixed mindset "persona's" as she called them. Mine is John, and he's a stuffy British guy who keeps looking down his nose at me and telling me I can't do stuff. I just LOVE proving him wrong! As with most therapeutic techniques this sounds a little odd until you try it, and it actually works rather well! Dweck's point behind creating a "persona" seemed to be illustrating very clearly to yourself precisely the type of person you're striving NOT to be. And yet she also suggested attempting to consider your fixed persona as a friend of sorts since it is still a part of you of course.

The 3 things to get anything done are - Patience. Discipline. Consistency. It's about finishing what you started, but in your own way. It's okay to take breaks in between while ensuring that the post break comeback is going to be stronger and more impactful.

[@directAction3389]

Adaptability is equally important though of course. All the discipline in the world doesn't help when your current strategy isn't very effective. Dr. Dweck said that was the first part of the equation, and that pivoting to newer potentially better processes was the second part.

I can't get the exact quote from our boy Epictitus, but he basically said (modernized) "Should I stop thinking if I can't become Einstein? Should I stop walking if I can't be Usain Bolt? Do things for your sake, on your level."

[@philipkim9779]

Having a growth mindset is not just about discipline and hard work; it encompasses much more. While individuals with a growth mindset certainly put in the effort to achieve their goals, what truly sets them apart from others is their response to failure. Although hard work and effort increase the probability of success, they do not guarantee it. However, those with a growth mindset approach failure differently. They view failure as an integral part of the learning process and do not dwell on it. Their resilience in the face of failure is a key factor that propels them towards success. Moreover, I want to emphasize that if you're someone who is wondering why you're struggling to adopt a growth mindset, please don't blame yourself for it. Blaming yourself isn't really productive in this case. It's important to be patient with yourself and accept that developing a growth mindset takes time and effort. So, instead of being hard on yourself, try to approach it with a sense of understanding and give yourself the space to grow. Just keep working on it and don't get discouraged. Remember, it's a journey, and progress will come with time. So, be kind to yourself and stay committed to your personal growth. You'll see the benefits in the long run. It is crucial to understand the underlying psychological complexities that contribute to the lack of a growth mindset in many individuals. Developing a growth mindset requires a nurturing environment that allows children to embrace failure and recognize it as a valuable learning experience. Unfortunately, most people are taught to avoid failure and perceive it as something negative. Consequently, failure becomes associated with emotional pain and discomfort. When failure is experienced repeatedly, it can lead to a state of learned helplessness. Consequently, it becomes exceedingly difficult for adults to adapt a growth mindset. Although the concept of a growth mindset may be understood, incorporating it into one's life is challenging due to learned behaviors. Adopting a growth mindset necessitates unlearning previous behaviors and acquiring new ones, which requires considerable time and effort. The journey towards developing a growth mindset is not only about discipline, effort, and consistency. It involves addressing the psychological barriers that arise from fear of failure and the mental damage inflicted by past failures. People with a growth mindset, unlike others, find enjoyment in the face of hardship and challenges, actively embracing the journey itself. In summary, the development of a growth mindset is a psychologically intricate process. It is influenced by the nurturing environment one grows up in, where children are encouraged to accept failure as an integral part of the learning process. Many individuals struggle to adopt a growth mindset due to the negative associations they have with failure and the learned behaviors that hinder their progress. Embracing a growth mindset requires a conscious effort to unlearn previous behaviors and cultivate new ones, which takes significant time and dedication. Just remember to be patient with yourself, stay committed, and approach it with kindness. The journey to a growth mindset is worth it in the end.

Growing up always being told that I'm dumb and not going to go anywhere really resulted in me building up the will to be successful/good at certain things. And it brought me to wanting to better myself and outgrow the others. But now having built some skills it resulted in a kind of arrogance and resistance to grow. I often think I have to defend myself and my skills to prove "I'm not dumb anymore, I am good at stuff. You can't judge me" and sometimes forget that accepting that you're always growing and never perfect is an important aspect of life and also success. And that aspect is also what brought me to where I am now and will drive me further. I love your videos. They always teach me something about myself again and again.

I realized 3 years ago that I wanted to get into liturgical music and organ playing as I’ve sang in church choir my whole life.

Growth mindset has been essential in this transition and it took a good three years of playing like garbage to start to be able to play entire services decently. Now I’m not an expert yet but I’ve built a foundation. All of this is to say: if you’re learning something new, keep persisting even through failure! It will pay off.

[@0ptimal]

Failure is so powerful. With a mindset of "I will", each failure adds to your resolve and ability, until ultimately there is no more room for failure because everything you need for success has accumulated over time and effort. Trick is to have something you're driven to do, something with a strong meaning to you. Often we have many of those but we bury them under distractions, they whisper to us here and there but we brush them away oblivious to their power in our lives, if only we'd see them.

Once you have worked hard, asked questions, been patient and confirmed that they are lying to your face and there's nothing but a slow and boring death to look forward to, it's perfectly healthy and natural to quit and tell them where to go.

They just try to get you to "climb the ladder" of money & doom, to sacrifice the best years of your life to a mindless, soulless heartless company that couldn't care less about you. The guys "above" you are insane workaholics. They drive nice cars, have bimbo girlfriends, wear fake smiles and sell sh!tty coke. They like to pretend to be happy and to have it made, but it's all a front. A facade. Save yourself, your sanity and integrity and just walk away.

Many Years back when i was met with physics i hated it i just hated doing physics because the problems in it were hard and not easy to think and thus i thought to myself that i am never gonna study physics when i grow up, I am now studying Physics as my main subject because it's my favorite subject, there came an incident when i needed to pass a test or my career depended on it and that test contained physics(optics/magnetism and stuffs) i studied but hated at first but that was solely because of my pre-made beliefs about the subject, i learned physics in depth and started seeing much more applications in real life, i kept jumping into problems/Questions, even if i kept failing to solve i found that was only that i did not knew may be just a minor detail, i kept taking challenges and learned through the process, i passed the exam and now i specialised at Quantum Physics, the conclusion is that with the growth mindset you don't care about how much outcomes you're getting instead you get the kick of taking challenges and learning in the way.

[@usernameunauthorised]

In the past I have tended to have a stubborn and fixed mindset and believing that I am incapable and can't achieve much, but I am gradually learning as I get older to have more of a growth mindset. Life has shown me that I am capable of achieving more than I thought. But then when I was younger I really felt like I was not capable of anything and I was worthless. So I still haven't really achieved much. But I am trying to believe in myself more. Although I think most of what I have achieved has been due to luck, but then you still have to show up and make the effort, and then the luck gets you the rest of the way, I think. At least in my case.

It's like dichotomy of idealism and pragmatism. Idealism is not that rooted in reality, hence less pragmatism in life, while pragmatism followers have problems of the other kind, thinking to follow only what is useful. Idealists may have problems with reaching goals, because they would feel more stress and anxiety, while pragmatists have less tension about those matters. Though, pragmatists may find themselves in the situation of lacking of any creativity. Like they work hard, but they sometimes say to themselves that «some things are stupid, because there is no benefits in them», while idealists may see that «working hard is stupid» and «everything should be easy», while having creativity, but with less resources to make their dreams come true. Synthesis of idealism and pragmatism is a wise solution, because you would get necessary parts, that will be handy in real life and without losing your creativity.

Great video again, Einzelgänger! In fact, I have been in a growth mindset transformation lately. In the last three months, I have started looking for job opportunities with a strong focus on how I look myself in the short and mid-term. Therefore, I have started to learn new skills or develop some untapped ones, especially quantitative ones. I am already applying this approach to my current work, and this is evident to my line manager and other colleagues, but most importantly to myself. I am enjoying every bit of this self-discovery process, learning a lot and feeling self-fulfilled. No matter the outcomes, I am becoming the process, and this feels amazing.

Fixed mindset here, currently a 4th year college student who faced diffculties during my junior year that made me lose interest in the course that iam in (even tho i started with great enthusiasm), i tried to desperately change courses or drop out but was faced by my parents who wanted the best for me, tbh im still unsure till now with what i want to do in life (having a feeling of being lost and hopelessness). Now i realized one thing, not one time in my last 4 years have I tried to improve, i always brushed my negative feelings away by video games and procrastination and said to myself "oh well i guess im stuck here till i get my degree then leave", i never had the thought of self improvement all because i had this argument with my parents about leaving the course which when faced with denial made me even more stubborn, and when i get a bad grade i coped that i didn't want it in the first place even tho i studied the day before the exam but not before that, i still have 1 year left before i finish, if you were in my shoes what would you do?

0:00: 🐢 The story of the turtle and the rabbit teaches us about the importance of persistence and continuous improvement in achieving success. 3:16: 🧠 The fixed mindset hinders personal growth and success by relying solely on innate talents and resisting challenges. 6:29: 🌱 The growth mindset emphasizes the ability to develop talents and abilities through dedication, practice, and continuous improvement, embracing challenges and setbacks as opportunities for growth. 9:18: ! People with a growth mindset embrace challenges and failure, believe in developing skills, and value the process of improvement. 12:18: 💡 The growth mindset can help us overcome limiting beliefs and explore our potential, but it can also lead to setting unrealistic expectations.

Byung Chul Han's "The burnout society" deals mainly with this, but the conclusions are the opposite. Late capitalist society pressures us into an outstanding flexibility just to survive. We have 2 or 3 jobs, we work day and night, we work on weekends, etc. It doesn't means that being fixed is the key, but recognizing that the need of constant change ain't a philosophical need but a market one. Some times, we need some stoicism not to change and not to move if the imperative for flexibility isn't coming from within.

You help a lot of people with your videos. Keep it up!

If you think the world is divided into those who are innately growth-mindset and fixed-mindset, you are, by your own definition, fixed mindset. Important word: Innately. Another thing to consider is upbringing. One's emotional landscape is decided up to age 10, where the child has no agency or control and are at the mercy of their external environment, and all decisions are made around this. Grow up around aggressive or narcissistic parents? Bullying in school? Poverty? Inhereted mental illnesses like autism and depression? People may not be defined by their past, but damn if it isn't a ball and chain around one's ankle. Best to live in isolation such that the presence of other human beings doesn't invoke crippling envy. Well, that or lash out at people in public because keeping a lid on all this baggage is a full-time job.

Needed this reminder badly Thank you Einzelgangerr for this video I'll comback to this video in December and update about the things I have planned for myself to achieve by the end of this year.

[@contactdi8426]

Damn!! I just realized after watching this video, I have this FIXED mindset personality! I always knew that this mindset is very wrong, but didn't knew it's pretty common that it's written. Anyway, I really appreciate this and would give my best efforts to change this to growth mindset.

[@claudiascott6654]

You are my favorite philosophical site.. your voice and versatility are wonderful.. thank you for sharing your gifts.

[@vinamratatyagi6110]

Thankyou.god bless you🌈

[@kvancturker5760]

Perfect explanation. I never considered myself as a fixed mindset person. I really like the comfort, want to do things I am already good at etc. Challenges are not for showing others that you are perfect they are opportunities for getting better. You must take the risk of making fool of yourself to improve. Consistentlly improve your skills and never think you are already perfect and unbeatable in your field. As a computer engineering graduate I alway thought self thought software developers can not beat me at this field. Well most of them can't but some of them literraly prove me I am wrong.

Fantastic! I especially liked the limits set by nature to the growth mindset.

[@conykuo4308]

I think there is no turtle rabbit race in reality, because the smartest people are usually the most hard-working ones.

[@eonstar2441]

This came right on time. Thank you 🙏

[@alexscotte1383]

Someone could also fall into the fixed mindset mentality even if he/she doesn't have innate abilities and things don't come easy. It's easy to fall in this mindset if someone don't believe in themselves or have any hope of succeeding. That person would believe their abilities are pre-determined but in the opposite direction.

Kesimpulan (self reminder) : Growt mindset sangat penting tapi perlu diimbangi dengan pemahaman bahwa walaupun sudah berusaha sekeras itu dan tetapi akhirnya tidak tercapai yo gak popo, karena bahkan ada saja blind side factor yang memang sudah ditakdirkan (baca buku malcom g), tapi yang pasti adalah kita tumbuh dari hari sebelumnya dan usaha kita di apresiasi tuhan. So gak ada yang sia-sia. Semangat.

[@skccharan]

Thank you bro. loved your video. I needed this analysis more than ever now. Thanks for your hard work. 😇.

[@michaelfir.coaching]

Love these videos! Crazy how wanting growth and having a growth mindset are not the same thing.

[@claudiascott6654]

hanks!

[@Einzelgänger]

Thank you, Claudia!

Love this video! Hope I can remember these lessons as I work towards my graduate degree.

Mindset was a really good book. I liked how she applied the growth mindset to parenting. Another good book I went through this year was Accelerating Excellence by James King. Good read good video.

[@Marianastarss]

Thank you for making these videos!! ❤

[@thetonishow]

This is such a great video! I’m already familiar with the growth & fixed mindset but this expanded my knowledge so much more.

[@julierobinson8173]

Fixed mindset and growth mindset 👌🏾

[@robertduraski7357]

I'm very grateful for this channel & for Einzelganger himself. I remember reading one of his writings sometime ago, where he mentioned a novel that was written along the lines of Stoicism. The authors name was mentioned too. I have not been able to find that information. I look forward to reading this novel. Although it is an indifferent desire, I'd appreciate the name of the novel & its author. Thanks!

[@imhimthehonored]

I learned 2 things one i became too much arrogant two is I'm not the only one 😎

[@teddygaming4076]

depending on the circumstances, adapting both mindset interchangeably is important, there are times you should be confident as fck, and be eager to learn for later success

[@chaysamaratunga6918]
