1 There is one thing that can be easily learned in five minutes, and it can have a great impact on your life, and the lives of your children or students. It is 36 the “Growth Mindset” and it is simple , powerful, and 37 by a vast body of scientific research. In a series of 38 , the Stanford researcher, Carol Dweck, divided students into two 39 and gave them relatively 40 math tests. The students all did 41 in the tests — half of them were praised for being naturally 42 , and half were praised for working hard. After those 43 , they were given harder math tests. Those students who were praised for 44 quickly adopted the “Growth Mindset” and performed better. They think “hard work got me this far, so I just 45 to work a bit harder and I will figure out these questions.”, faced with more difficult problems, Students who were praised for being clever acted 46 . They might think “perhaps I’m not that clever after all, 47 I can’t figure out these harder questions.” So they would quickly 48 . Or worse, they see the hard questions as a(n) 49 to their self-esteem (自尊), and develop the dangerous habit of 50 any situation where they might be wrong, or any situation where they might 51 something new! So, what can you 52 ? If you are a parent or a 53 , praise efforts rather than the innate (先天的) ability. And for yourself — ascribe (归因于) your own 54 to efforts rather than the innate ability. 55 that your success is a result of your efforts rather than some innate gift. It is really that simple! 36.

It’s easy to get stepped on. It’s easy to be the nice guy. It’s easy to give in, all in the name of being a peacemaker. A girl named Jenny once told me about her 36 in the world of Lose-Win during her eighth-grade year before she finally broke 37 : My 38 with my mom all started one day 39 she said to me sarcastically (讽刺地) “Wow, you’re surely lively today.” I 40 it so literally (字面地) that then and there I decided to close off from her and never 41 back to her.
