Notes After Reading "Mindset: The New Psychology of Success"In the book "Mindset: The New Psychology of Success", what left the biggest impression on me was how two different mindsets can affect a person's behavior and thinking. In essence, it also comes down to the fact that we view things from different perspectives.Fixed MindsetA fixed mindset approaches problems in a way that is always confined by the belief that things cannot develop or change—whether it is judging intelligence, romantic relationships, or one's abilities. It places too much emphasis on the impact of a single event, ignoring that people can grow and are not unchanging. This in turn leads to neglecting objective patterns and makes it easy to become trapped within the limits of one's own perspective.Growth MindsetA growth mindset is the complete opposite. It does not limit itself to the impact of one event; instead, it can see the positive side of that event. In daily life, as well as in learning and work, you should learn to reflect on your thinking habits at the right time and correct your feelings in a timely manner. Only then will it help you cultivate a growth mindset.SummaryThese two different ways of thinking do not mean that a person is two different kinds of people. People have many sides, and the same person may display different mindsets when dealing with different things. In short, when thinking about problems and reflecting, you should often assess your mindset so that you can continuously correct the way you think. This may also be the meaning behind why the author called this book "Mindset: The New Psychology of Success".

In the book "Mindset: The New Psychology of Success", what left the biggest impression on me was how two different mindsets can affect a person's behavior and thinking. In essence, it also comes down to the fact that we view things from different perspectives.
Fixed Mindset
A fixed mindset approaches problems in a way that is always confined by the belief that things cannot develop or change—whether it is judging intelligence, romantic relationships, or one's abilities. It places too much emphasis on the impact of a single event, ignoring that people can grow and are not unchanging. This in turn leads to neglecting objective patterns and makes it easy to become trapped within the limits of one's own perspective.
Growth Mindset
A growth mindset is the complete opposite. It does not limit itself to the impact of one event; instead, it can see the positive side of that event. In daily life, as well as in learning and work, you should learn to reflect on your thinking habits at the right time and correct your feelings in a timely manner. Only then will it help you cultivate a growth mindset.
Summary
These two different ways of thinking do not mean that a person is two different kinds of people. People have many sides, and the same person may display different mindsets when dealing with different things. In short, when thinking about problems and reflecting, you should often assess your mindset so that you can continuously correct the way you think. This may also be the meaning behind why the author called this book "Mindset: The New Psychology of Success".
