Career / Fixed Mindset Vs Growth Mindset by Blessingetete(f): 1:55am On Sep 29, 2022
FIXED MINDSET VS GROWTH MINDSET

THE FIXED MINDSET: People with a fixed mindset believe that they are born with certain intelligence, skills and abilities that cannot change. So they don't make an effort to go beyond their abilities and expand their comfort zone.

THE GROWTH MINDSET: People with a growth mindset understand that their skills and intelligence can be improved with effort and persistence, and are usually happy to accept a challenge.

A BIG DIFFERENCE:
When faced with a challenge, such as learning a new language (e.g: Spanish). People with a fixed mindset will see the difficulty they are facing as a confirmation of what they think of themselves, that they are dumb. Whilst people with a growth mindset will see it as an opportunity to enlarge their ability to learn.

For instance: You got a message from your boss saying he wants you to handle a new project using a different software from the one you are used to.

GROWTH MINDSET: Sure, I can take on the new challenge. I've learned a new software system in the past so this one na beans. I can even learn fast and help the rest of the team get up to speed with the new software.

FIXED MINDSET: Wait o, I'm sure my boss didn't mean to send this to me, I don't know how to use this software so I can't do it. Make him forward am to who fit do am, no presume me oh.

Buttom Line:
A growth mindset helps you understand that;
1. Basic human abilities like being good at math, remembering people's names etc can be learned and don't necessarily need to be born with them.

2. Having difficulty doesn't mean you are dumb. It just means you are yet to understand or learn the material, don't force it, it will come out good.

3. Learning new things creates new brain connections, and with time and practice those connections become stronger and that's how people become experts.

4. Making mistakes doesn't mean you are a failure, it just means you're on the right track, just not there yet.

ACTIONABLE ADVICE
1. Reframe challenges as opportunities and instead of running from them, be grateful and seek to maximize it to the fullest to learn the most you can out of it.

2. Focus on the process instead of the end result that way, you get to learn lessons that experience has for you no matter the end.

3. Train yourself to receive constructive criticism with Grace. Don't say "I know" when corrected, say "Thank you for bringing that to my notice" I'll work on it instead.

It's obvious you don't know when ASUU will end this strike and you are already losing hope, please don't feel that way rather you can utilize this period wisely.
Even you that isn't a student, probably a 9-5pm worker, looking for other source of income, do you know you can earn passive income monthly with that phone in hand?
I'll also assume you know the current rate of dollar right now.
Why not join my free WhatsApp class now, where I'll be providing vital information on how people just like me and you are using a particular business model to earn as low $100-$1000 monthly with the same phone you're holding right now and at the comfort of their home.
