Thank you Jess for the insightful comment!

Everyone feels the pressure created by our peers, I'd said that's a primary factor in our decision making mechanism. I accept that I maybe incorrect, but it does not matter how much money you have or awards you've won, but instead how you react to stress and dynamic situations. ((If one posses strong conflict resolution skills a controlled responsible decision and action will follow. One that both is fair and displays respect equally. )) If we trained ourselves on to improve mental health I'd have to say that controlling our reactions to disrespectful and aggressive behaviours is the key to our next form of evolution. This kind of entropy is constantly taking place and always has, we just forget sometimes.

Extremely so, being isolated and ostracized, isolated, and incapacitated is the current way of ex-communicating you out of "the group".

You become what you think. If you think being laughed at is more significant your going to become the epitome of that very thought. Change your attitude on the situation and being laughed at can be insignificant, unimportant, remain unbothered.

I don't think the video suggest some value attribute. It just say a possible reason for not trying.

For some, fear of being laughed at is a more significant reason. Just know the ones who laugh at you are also the ones threatened by your attempt and are just glad you didn’t succeed. Just makes eventually succeeding taste all the more better.

This video is sexist by using examples of people with two different genders. And as usual, the female is the positive example.

Good for you, I hope you continue your growth mindset journey!

Hula Hooping Hannah firstly congratulations on ur achievements 👍👍 u have tried ur best and changed ur fixed mindset to growth mindset 🌷🌷🌷 that sounds amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

May you keep growing and see your own brilliance every day for the rest of your life :)

I’m glad you got out of it. I hope I don’t grow up with a fixed mindset. I know my family means well by calling me I’m smart,etc. But it’s caused me to think the way you thought. And I’m aware of it, but I don’t know how to stop. It’s gotten so bad I cry when I don’t understand things on the spot and it’s really taking a toll. I’ll just give up. I don’t want to be like this anymore :/

Also have the issue with fixed mindset in most things. I only aquired a growth mindset in programming thanks to a very good teacher but I have fixed mindset hammered into my head the whole childhood. First 22 years of my life were filled with pure hate and rejection. I was unwanted by everyone and my whole existence cause anxiety to some people in my school. Just existing alone was a crime and some wanted to see me dieing. Fixing traumatic experiences and rejection during childhood is almost impossible. I hate 99.99% of all humans and this probably will never change.

Lol

Don't worry about these sciency guys, live your life the way you want to, but if you want to change, don't think I'm trying to stop you.

How did you get the motivation to try?

@@wheatbread1606 I had things I wanted, I guess. As I became an adult and had more agency in my day to day life, I just gradually started trying. Success on the small scale encouraged me to keep trying for larger goals.

We are what we think about and that thought will be manifested into your life whether positive or negative. Good for you and I wish you all the best for the future.

I have successfully disregarded all positive opinions from others and only receive negative feedback

but mindsets are fixed at birth

Yaa...

It's an opportunity to unlock the lock on fixed mindsets. Not a privilege to discriminate one for having such.

Lmao

Typical of what someone with a growth mindset would say.

Haha love this.

Wonderful

Even one year later it sounds so lovely

Then you will be fixed to grow in one domain of life . and this leads fixed interests and belives .

Our perceptions of your approach influence how we interpret, understand, and act on the truth. It’s so true that rich individuals seek the knowledge and skills of professionals and claim to achieve their success without any prior help

@Elizabeth Green To achieve your goals, proficiency makes your plans a reality. I engage in compound interest and leveraging and as well operate exclusive packages with a body of a wealth management firm and so far I’ve attained good ROI (amount is confidential)

As to get more details on the wealth manager, easily do quick internet research; (Genevieve Glen Rogers) where I believe you can easily approach her from, do your research with her full names mentioned.

Thanks that makes the most sense

This is a shocker seeing Genevieve Glen Rogers being mentioned here. I always had mixed feelings about hiring a lnvestment advisor. For the record, I started working with Genevieve in 2018, and she manages about 70% of my lnvestments, while I manage the other 30%. My philosophy is that I care more about my own money than anyone else, but she made me accept that they have wealth of information on current conditions and future trends

I’m astonished that people feel positive about this particular explainer video, it’s so harmful and such a misrepresentation of growth mindset. My disabled daughter was shown this video at school and it left her in tears because the gist of the video is that kids who acknowledge barriers to learning or suffer with anxiety are bad and have the “wrong” mindset, when the reality of learning is far more nuanced. It brushes over the role adults have to play in creating safe environments where failure is allowed, putting all the emphasis on kids. It also draws a direct link between “wrong” mindset and unemployment without any reference to the role of trauma in how children respond to failure. It’s such a shame because growth mindset is a great tool, but this video is an aggressively ableist misrepresentation of the concept.

Anytime Jessica , were here for a Resons I belive What we start with is not what we will Leven with. Name it and claim it. Mindset just be careful

Yes, because the only constant in life is change! We constantly need to grow, otherwise we go nowhere. If a business has a fixed mindset, it will eventually die or go out of business.

Thx God we have movies like that one so we can masturbate thinking about ourselfs. And making people with anxiety feels even worst.

your comment makes us massively happy! all the best Daan! and let us know end of 2017 if you made any progress!

Sprouts I'll certainly let you know if I will remember it.

Excellent. I'll send you a reminder ;)

Daan did you improve your way of thinking?

Yes, I did. I think we will always learn and adapt, consiously or unconsiously. Obstacles and conflict will force us to adapt and both of them are inevitable in life. Even if I would believe in a fixed mindset wouldn't make it so that I won't change. It's just that when I have a growth mindset I can choose where I focus my efforts to learn and adapt. I think that learning and adapting don't always result in growth though. You can learn new bad habits for example. So that's where my mindset is slightly different from the growth mindset.

Love that energy! Sprouts is with you :)

That is super inspiring Nicholas, do you have any recommendations on how to improve and transform your mindset?

Awfully peculiar how this does not have any replies.

Repitition is the mother of learning :)

Yeah, you can watch same video 3 times a day and keep doing it a week.

Make sure you begin to apply as well. @Tata Mitu

agree

It is obvious that exceptions exist. He simplified it in this way so that people would understand that it is much better to have a growth mindset than a fixed mindset.

@@LapislazuliB612 But it seems simply untrue that anyone can learn anything, or that great people like Einstein only became great because of their mindset, and not because of inherently different abilities (not just IQ, but simply having a certain kind of brain). The ability for things such as planning, focused attention, and perseverance in the face of challenges are linked to physical areas in the brain (which in Einstein's case were larger than normal). Similarly, anyone can train their body and become toned and muscular, but you cannot change your basic body type.

@@snakedogman Einstein's brain was a bit different but not as much as people often say. However, let's not lose sight that the ideas described in this video are generalisations about the opposing ends of a continuum that we all inhabit. There will be exceptions, such as Einstein, but generally the vast majority of people either think they can grow to learn new skills or don't think they have it in them and thus don't really try. Some people will try in certain areas and not others (I have a brother who is good at languages, which many people consider hard, and so will approach learning a language like Anne, but is convinced he's terrible at DIY and inists he'll never be able to do it, so predictably won't try, like Jay).

Sprout's job is to make the concept come across as straightfowardly as possible. Your job is to make it trully useful by appling it reasonably in your life.

you made my day !

Sprouts I wanna draw like that too..😏😏😏😏

조현정 I completely agree!

wasima akhter that's ok you can learn to ;)

... and does it work?

That is exactly what I was thinking! Jay's 'fixed' mindset comes from perfectly understandable worries that anyone might have experienced. Like good for you Anne but damn video, you really didn't have to attack Jay for having realistic worries.

As someone who also struggles with self-doubt, anxiety and depression, I really don't think this video was trying to somehow belittle neurodivergent people. It's not "just think like that and everything will be better". Of course not. You can't just get rid of this kind of mindset in one day. I think I wouldn't be able to be who I am today without going to therapy for year and a half (still going). Failure is scary, but everything that matters is scary. You can't just get over your fears in one day, but it does help to try to overcome them (FOR ME, not giving any kind of advice). Having supportive friends helps a lot, and if, for example, your family is not, of course it's not that easy to overcome this. What I take from this video - getting better takes effort. Getting over panic attacks and terrible depressive states took so much effort but I'm better now. I have several workers at my job who I have to assess, give feedback and teach. I'm trying to be positive and supportive, try to give them positive feedback, and if they fail I'm spending a lot of time talking to them. It's so magical to see them getting more confidence, especially those people who have doubt in their minds. I really hate this "tough love' approach, where people say "you don't deserve praise, you have to work for it". That's bullshit. A person who is surrounded by supportive people will get better at everything because they are encouraged. I've seen with my own eyes. You can't just become happy and confident if people around belittle you. So what I'm trying to say is that this video is not saying "just be better". They even mentioned how the guy takes everything personally. It's not what it says. It says that there is hope and you can get happier and yeah, it takes time and effort, but it's possible. There is nothing wrong with being anxious or nervous or neurodivergent. It's normal and it doesn't make you a lesser person. What makes person shitty is when they judge people by traits like that instead of trying to help and support them.

Thank you friend. Shout out loud and proud, cos this is such limited ableist bullshit CONDESCENDING BORING FYCKWUT!

This is just new age nonsense … don’t even worry about it.

this fr haha dont get me wrong, yes there ARE things i can do to work harder, and i AM, but there are also things i can't change because ive been diagnosed with a developmental disability 💀

Yeah. Let logic be your guide. Sometimes its just best just to cut your losses.

No i dont think it is

@@wintermatherne2524 Agree the reality is that it's great to have a growth mindset but logic and calculated risk approach should sometimes be applied.

If you're gonna say that having a growth mindset doesn't just see black and white but also gray then how is that not applied in between of having a growth mindset and fixed mindset.

You can have a growth mindset (skill comes through learning and practice) and still decide not to put in the effort. I'm never going to be a concert level pianist. I believe I could be, if I put in the time and effort. But I don't have the time and effort available for that when other things are more important to me. I'm not thinking that I can't do that, I'm thinking that I choose not to, and think about the things I've chosen instead. Which motivates me to get up and go work on those things now :)

Wow! Please let us know how this journey is going for you!

I'm not afraid of failing, I often just don't care enough about what I failed at to try again.

School has its ups and downs. There's benefit to the way it's done but it has some major drawbacks. I've found the best way to do it is to beat beating the system. What I mean by that is, people have to choose for themselves to figure out how to love learning. Really, you'll get out of it what you put into it. I've been using school to change my mindset recently; going through the motions not with the intent of the grade but with the intent of becoming better. The grade's important too though...

Yes. We think so too 👍

yes!

Keys to

SO TRUE !

Karthikeyan Arul following your passion is biggest bullshit. You need to eat too. This mindset is good for kids, who don't have responsibility to look after. What you need is pragmatic passion. Be practical in following your passion. Know your limitations, and work around them.

yeah

I have picked up a lot of extra hours at work after people who had a passion for a new job, then didn't stick with it once it became difficult. Being willing to work toward something _even when it is unpleasant_ is an important predictor of success. You can choose to become very good at a specialty that is not your first passion, in order to have a good income and a lifestyle that allows you to keep doing the things you love regardless of whether they make money. Many artists and musicians don't want the stress of trying to make a living in entertainment. Many people in health care have other hobbies, or work primarily to support family; the work can be satisfying, but it is also difficult, boring, dangerous. If you "marry" your career for passion, but do you have a deep and faithful love to keep picking up the dirty socks long after the honeymoon is over? It is great to always be pursuing something that interests you. But this doesn't have to be your day job. Not everything that we passionately love can or should be used to make money.

@@EKWisner Hi, I wrote this comment a long time ago when I still believed in the meritocracy of our society. I have come to understand that our places of work are not healthy environments. We have political democracy but our workplaces are mini dictatorships where you don't get a say in what is made, how is it made and where is it made. Not only that we aren't paid the full value of our work and which is what constitutes profits (stolen labour) but that we have no say whatsoever in our places of work. This is a major contributor to understand what drives our passions. I think in a society where workers have complete control over their places of work (here work means both intellectual and manual labour, there is a technical difference but basically anyone who exchanges their time for money is a worker) will be able to not only pursue some passion that they like but create new avenues for themselves that are liberating and satisfying. Even a place where you flip burgers can be called home if you collectively own it and make decisions together. Does that make sense? I would also ask that why should you be paid less if you love doing your job? I think artists and musicians are tricky to understand but why should any other job we like be low paying?

Rythmes are set firmly in early childhood, but they are not the be all and end all.Perception is set deep with in our physiology/psych , are far as I can tell all faculties in the mind can be tuned , adapted, strengthened, just as one is able to strengthen ones ligaments, bones,muscles,resistants to cold and heat, via the right amount of stimulus/stress and apropriate response. "Adaption"

What's positive about refusing to believe that you can't change for the better?

This comment is an example of fixed mindset.

TerryTonyThomas positivity is irrelevant, it’s about weather they’re right or not

Wonderful! Thank you for the great feedback and all the best to the two of you! :)

THANKS!

Just enjoy scribbling at first dont belabor on creating a single image. Keep on going and you'll see improvement in your drawings. Search for the vid "Process Learning" by Sprouts its my inspiration in this suggestion. Hope it helps. God bless! 😄

was scrolling down for comments appreciating his drawing ...do let me know if u found any ways to learn to draw ... :D

First, you must practice having a growth mindset to get through it. Then, draw things that are hard for you. After a long time of practicing and failing, you will be able to draw anything! :)

My advice is to make lots of observational sketches but also do a lot of doodling and not be too fussed about the outcome. Also you can try to emulate someone to learn techniques but dont compare yourself to other artists so much. I do this a lot and it only disheartens me.

congratulations!

It’s been 5 years and I’ve gotten nowhere.

I don't think anyone likes that feeling, but it's sometimes more the fear or anticipation of being ridiculed that is more harmful. We are all on a journey - be encouraged, your story is still being written.

Lol

That could be true because we are a sum of many parts, but no matter your personality, you can learn a growth mindset if you want to become less defensive and to see failure as part of learning.

That's the thing. There is no scientifical term of "introvert-ness" or "extrovert-ness" . Almost allpeople are born with same body condition. The environment is responsible for our beliefs. However just think that, if they were in the same environment. Jay would fail and he would've stoped trying to opening up to poeple. On the other hand Anne would try again and try again. she would get confident more and more. So she'll be an extrovert. And about anxiety. Everyone has it. U just have to push harder, even the greatest leaders admit that they had anxiety issues but they've overcame it. For example Anthony Padilla he was so introverted that he had many anxiety attacks for just being around people. Now look at him , he's a famous KZfaqr and an extrovert. I'm not perfect also. But we all must push out limits and we'll succeed insha Allah 🌸

@@pattyhutton5188 hmm but dont you need a growth mindset in order to get a growth mindset?🤔

@@Patty_Brard i guess you need a "will" or "need" to develop a growth mindset.. since u r stuck at fixed one... it's gonna take some hard-ass determination to do so. :-)

HAHA!

Good point. And maybe yes. Although one could argue that a permeant state of a growth mindset could also lead to a view shared by Sokrates: I know that I know nothing. In which case the idea of mindset would be meaningless and you would be trapped thinking that your mindset keeps growing.

What an incredible question and what an incredible answer from Sprouts.

@@waterfallsdontsaymeow2917 lol nice one

I also heavily agree. While watching this video, it really felt black and white. To simply somehow "change" your mindset is discouraging because it's not that easy as it seems. Sure, with effort, we can grow and become better, but the way the video showed it, I feel like there's a lack of depth of where a fixed mindset originates from.

Preach!
