Mindset- the trick to a good life

If somebody told me year ago that are tricks to learn to have a great life and achieve and live your dreams I would have answered " Your are either on some drugs or you are just lying " but through reading and practicing the things i am reading I am believing this to be true.

The cornerstone of everything is mindset and we don't need to do much research or to go and interview people that have the correct mindset to good life the growth mindset we can just read Mindset book of Dr Carol Dweck and be informed .


What is the difference of growth and fixed-mindset and how it can help us.

Fixed mindset see effort as fruitless. Growth mindset as path to mastery.
When I was in high school I was very good at maths and I loved  i used to practice constantly and find problems to solve everywhere possible. All my friends used to say you are good at math and I am not and I thought this is the complete story. When you have the growth mindset you realise that although some people might be more predisposed to love numbers with practice everybody can improve to a greater level if tried.

Fixed mindset avoid challenges, growth mindset focus on solution to resolve them.
People say 90% of business fail and that is a fact , but if you put the fact behind that most people don't do their research properly and majority of people give up after the first huddle is no surprise.
On reading about successful people in business and sports and medicine you realise that the ones in the top had many setback before that made it at the top and they preparation time was much longer than many people in their field. I was not aware before that Bill Gates preparation time was 10y no holidays from 21-31y. Have you every friend something that hard?

Fixed mindset avoid and shy away from criticism , growth mindset learn from it.
We are genetically programmed to dislike criticism, this come because we are social creatures and other reasons deep in our psychology and is very important to see where the criticism is coming from and how qualified they are in what they are talking.

Success of other and mindset. Growth mindset feel inspired and energised. In some countries including mine in albania people are very sceptic about other people success. This in many ways stops that from taking steps to making it them selves , to open that business to apply for that amazing job, to work hard.

Growth mindset individuals persist in face of obstacles, fixed mindset find an excuse.
When talking about relationship she stresses that when you see happy couple that have been married for more than 1y , people accuse that they are lucky. This is the fixed mindset.
People with growth mindset know that relationship require investment and contribution to help them flourish. We are not born good communicator but the ones that practice and learn the art of communication ripe the benefits.





To help students and people know about the brain and how new pathways are created all the time depending on how much and how many times you try Dr Dweck has developed brainology a online program.
It start from young age children, by praising their effort rather than results.
While learning new skills it shows how the brain is trying to make new pathways to make it easier on its self and with a bit of persistence it will get easier that more is tried.

This book i read on paperback and listened on audio. all over underlined cover to cover. I can honestly say that it revolutionised my life.

what is the book that revolutionised your life??????????
