Reflections after reading "Lifelong Growth"

When you read a work carefully, you must have many thoughts in your heart. At this time, the most important feeling after reading cannot be forgotten. So do you really know how to write a review? The following is my review of "Lifelong Growth" compiled for your reference. I hope it can help friends in need. Thoughts after reading "Lifelong Growth" 1

When I saw the title of the book, I couldn't help but think that it is really "live and learn", no matter what time it is. Reading this book made me realize the difference that learning brings, and it also allowed me to find the direction of learning and progress. "Keep learning and grow throughout your life"! I am deeply impressed by Teacher Fan Deng’s erudition and broad knowledge.

This book talks about two modes of thinking, fixed mindset and growth mindset, and gives the definition of fixed mindset: believing that people’s talents are immutable, only believing in talent, and self-determination. Characteristics such as being arrogant or having low self-esteem and having to constantly prove yourself to others. The growth mindset believes that people's abilities can be cultivated through hard work, and the differences between people are minimal. They have an anti-fragile mentality, learn and grow from failures and setbacks, and make themselves stronger to affirm themselves! It also makes us understand: these are the thinking modes of two different people, and they are also two modes of thinking that exist in one person's body at the same time. Therefore, we must continue to learn and practice, eliminate the existing fixed thinking, and let the growth thinking Occupying our hearts enables us to truly become a person with a growth mindset. Only if we become growth mindset people. Use belief, affirmation, praise, encouragement, thinking, continuous efforts, and continuous attempts, and then slowly change and influence family members, children, and others.

Generally, everyone has these two modes, but most people are dominated by one mode, which is the 'fixed mindset'. I used to often refuse to communicate, feeling that others did not follow my way of doing things, and that they were wrong. Sometimes I did not realize it, and would always resist criticism and have rebellious emotions. This is caused by fixed thinking. I understand that I Be sure to work hard to move towards a growth mindset.

Change is not easy. Whoever suffers will change, and whoever changes will benefit! The world becomes more beautiful and peaceful because of all of us learning!

I used to think that as long as parents were positive, their children would definitely not be negative or neglectful. Little did he know what a childish idea it was. Later I understood that when educating children, we should think about how to teach, not how to discipline? Children's speech should be respected and children should be allowed to put forward different opinions. Growth is a lifelong matter for everyone. Parents need to continue to learn, constantly update their old ideas, guide their children in positive ways, do not praise her talent, but appreciate her efforts; do not blindly criticize, but give construction sexual opinions. There are time limits and sensitive periods for the growth of certain things in people. If you catch it, you will get twice the result with half the effort. If you miss it, you will get twice the result with half the effort. Just like the Jews tell their children, they should not be afraid of embarrassment and cherish every opportunity to make a fool of themselves in public, so that they can achieve their ultimate growth.

Growth is a lifelong matter for everyone, and it has nothing to do with age. At any time, stagnant growth is the most terrifying form of aging. Lifelong learning leads to lifelong growth. Thoughts after reading "Lifelong Growth" 2

I recently read Teacher Fan Deng's "Along with Children's Lifelong Growth". The whole book comprehensively quotes a large number of famous works and combines the author's own experience to comprehensively answer the questions for children. education as a complex system. As stated in the book, "You cannot assemble a child like a car... If you believe that a child is more like a living forest, you must allow him to grow in his own way. What you can give is sunshine, rain, dew, appropriate Fertilizer, companionship and patience. In the end, what he grows up will be different from what you imagined, but there will be surprises.”

Raising a child is a process that is waiting for the flowers to bloom, but it requires full devotion from parents. Full of love to work silently. The "unconditional love" proposed in the book is most worth pondering. Love is the source of a child's inner energy. Unconditional love does not require "exchange" and "threats." Only unconditional love can bring trust, respect and security to children. Maybe all of us parents think that their love for their children is unconditional, but if you think about it carefully, in fact, many parents, including me, may not truly be able to love unconditionally.

We always set various goals for our children and always hope that they will grow into the "good children" in our minds. Faced with the children's various shortcomings or the gap between them and the goals, it is always difficult for us to accept them. However, no one is perfect. Parents should have the courage to accept their children's imperfections, grasp the safety boundaries of parents and children, constantly discover the bright spots of their children, and learn to prune them skillfully, so that a small sapling can gradually grow into a straight tree. .

Lifelong growth not only means that children need to grow throughout their lives, but parents must also learn to lower their posture and grow with their children. Parents have the greatest influence on their children. Children's lifelong learning, behavior and health are based on active, mutually responsive and courteous interactions with their parents. It can be said that children are "copies" of their parents. If there is an error in the information on the "copy", it must be an error in the "original". Don't be too obsessed with other people's judgments of yourself, don't judge your hero based on one success or failure, put more attention on the process, and learn from the gains from mistakes, so that you can have a growth mindset.

As parents, we should discover more of our children’s shining points, give them unconditional love, and let them understand that the learning process and motivation are the most important. In addition, parents should also be kind to themselves and actively regulate their emotions, so as to better help their children grow.

“Lifelong growth” is not just a slogan, it is our lifelong goal. We start to change ourselves. I believe that a growth-oriented parent will definitely cultivate an excellent child and pass on this "love"... Comments after reading "Lifelong Growth" 3

With a heart I read the book "Lifelong Growth" by American psychology professor Carol Dweck with awe, and found that I was deeply stuck in a fixed mindset.

Carol Dweck divides human thinking into fixed mindset and growth mindset, which embody the two basic mindsets of people when dealing with success and failure, achievements and challenges. People with a fixed mindset believe that people's abilities are innate, and failure is due to their own limited abilities. When they have this understanding, they will deliberately avoid difficulties and only choose relatively simple and easy things to do. At the same time, they are afraid of being evaluated. Lack of confidence. People with a growth mindset believe that abilities are mainly cultivated. They are not afraid of failure and believe that failure is just a way to gain experience for self-growth. Therefore, these people are not only not afraid of challenges, but will embrace challenges enthusiastically and humbly. They accept others' evaluations of themselves, learn and improve from the evaluations, and they pay more attention to how to stimulate their own abilities to do better.

I reflected on myself by comparing the two thinking modes and found that I have a more typical fixed thinking mode. I am afraid of failure and avoid failure. Once I fail, I will doubt myself and deny myself. At the same time, I also live in the evaluation of others. inside. I am afraid that others will say I have failed, I am afraid that others will see my failure, and I dare not face failure myself. The book "Lifelong Growth" made me deeply realize that I must change. Now that you know the source of your emotions, you must learn to "help yourself", which is to learn to cultivate a growth mindset.

The recent review of Mengyang’s famous teacher made me understand the significance of growth thinking to my own growth. There are few places in the school, and there are many people to be evaluated. I always feel that my ability is not comparable to theirs, and I will definitely not be able to be evaluated. Maybe I will evaluate it again in the future, and forget it this time. Fixed mindset holds me back. But sometimes I also think that my grades in school are also good, I should give it a try, maybe I can be evaluated, and the growth mindset makes me try hard. What led me to give up the idea of ????selection? Mainly due to the fixed thinking mode of self-doubt and denial, I almost gave up this opportunity at that time. In fact, this is also self-education, warning yourself that you should accept challenges and never give up. Even if you are frustrated, you can come back again. Reflect on yourself every day and tell yourself that no matter how difficult it is, if you do it step by step, the worst result will be failure. If you fail, you can gain experience and add chips to your next victory. So, what else do you have to be afraid of?

There are so many people who work hard every day, but there are only a few who actually make achievements. The decisive factor is not how much effort we put in, but whether we have a growth mindset at the thinking level. For me, when encountering something, I don’t preconceptionally assume that I can’t do it well. “Don’t label yourself, don’t lose confidence in yourself.

Even if you are frustrated, be ready to take risks, face challenges head-on, and keep fighting for it. "I believe that the originally existing fixed mindset will gradually give way to a growth mindset. Thinking of this, my heart is filled with excitement. I believe that beliefs guide behavior and behavior derives results. "Lifelong Growth" will benefit you throughout your life! Thoughts after reading "Lifelong Growth" 4

Special thanks to the narrator for recommending reading the book "Lifelong Growth". Many of the ideas in the book are worth pondering and can have a beneficial impact on us. The book clearly explains certain principles through many examples. It provides some practical operation plans. Among them, the content that impressed me deeply is the thinking mode and the way of praising students.

First of all, the book mentions the growth mindset and fixation. Different thinking patterns have different effects on people, and even affect people's lives.

People with fixed thinking patterns believe that abilities and talents are innate and fixed. This kind of thinking. People with this model are very concerned about whether they are smart. They believe that only people without talent need to work hard, while people with talent can succeed without working hard. In order to prove their ability, they are often unwilling to put in more effort because they are afraid of putting in the effort. If your efforts are unsuccessful, you have no excuse but to admit your lack of ability, so people with this mindset will not work particularly hard to accomplish one thing. In fact, people with a fixed mindset and Atkinson. The proposed theory of achievement motivation is similar to "avoiding losers". You are only willing to do things that are particularly simple or difficult. Simple things can prove your ability, and failure in particularly difficult things is not your own problem.

People with a growth mindset believe that abilities can be changed. Even if you don’t have talent, you can improve your abilities through hard work. Therefore, people with a growth mindset are more willing to accept challenging tasks, even if they don’t succeed in the end. You can improve yourself through relevant actions.

In fact, thinking patterns are not fixed. We must consciously adjust our thinking patterns to continuously improve our various abilities and gain more. Growth.

Secondly, the book mentions the good effects of praising students' efforts through many cases, advocating that we praise students' efforts rather than their abilities. She told him, taking his face in her hands, 'We have a lot to do. You can't just sit in a chair and wait to be smart, I guarantee you just do it and you will achieve something. I won’t let you fail’. "This is what a teacher said to a child. When I read this sentence, I felt a little shocked in my heart. If we can really treat students like this, what will the students be like? This question is worthy of our attention. Reflection and later exploration.

The book "Lifelong Growth" gave me a lot of thinking and made me re-examine myself. This was a good encounter for me! Review of "Lifelong Growth" 5 < /p>

In the reading sharing meeting organized by the company, the book "Lifelong Growth" left a deep impression on me. I also read this book again in my spare time.

The main core content of the book is how to have a growth mindset. The book clearly mentions that a person has to deal with two major things in his life: getting along with himself and getting along with the outside world.

How to treat yourself is very important. It profoundly affects how we get along with the outside world. Whether you are a parent, just entering society, or in a relationship, your understanding of yourself often determines your growth rate.

If. If you can understand the relationship between talent and hard work, you will not blindly praise your child's talent, nor will you be overly anxious because of his slow growth rate.

If you can understand that work skills can be improved. , then you will not waste time feeling sorry for yourself at work, nor will you feel that you are not good at anything and be depressed all day long because of temporary difficulties.

If you can understand that relationships also require effort. To maintain and manage, we will not miss communication opportunities again and again because of superstitious beliefs, nor will we always hold on to the past and become a never-happy person.

We observe ourselves. , get to know yourself and learn the growth mindset mentioned in the book in order to make yourself better every day.

Combined with actual work, for example, new employees who have just joined the company may not be familiar with working methods for the time being, but they can take the initiative to learn; although sometimes the work is not done well enough, paired masters and colleagues can help each other. In this way, you will find that you are growing and making progress every day.

We also need to set some growth goals for ourselves. For example, you should always think about what opportunities there are for learning and growth? How to seize opportunities? What specific steps should be made to implement new plans? After doing this, you should also maintain a vigilant attitude at all times to think: "What needs to be done?" What else do I need to do to maintain continuous growth?”

I hope everyone can believe that intelligence can be improved; I hope everyone can learn to meet challenges and persevere in the face of setbacks; I hope everyone can learn to meet challenges and persevere in the face of setbacks; I hope everyone can Everyone can believe in the meaning of hard work, know how to face criticism, and learn from it; I hope everyone can get new knowledge and inspiration from the success of others; I hope everyone can have a growth mindset.

Special thanks to the company's labor union for providing the "Reading Sharing Meeting" platform, which allows us to better showcase ourselves and learn new knowledge. Finally, let us fall in love with reading together. The more books you read, the more knowledge will be integrated into your flesh and blood. It not only allows you to examine your heart in time, but also allows you to look up and see poetry and the distance. After reading "Lifelong Growth" 6

After decades of research on success, Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck discovered the power of thinking patterns. She shows in "Lifelong Growth" that our success is not determined by ability and talent, but is more affected by the thinking patterns we display in the process of pursuing our goals.

She introduced two modes of thinking: fixed and growth, which embody the two basic mindsets when dealing with success and failure, achievements and challenges. Which one do you think is more important, intelligence or hard work? Whether your ability can be changed through hard work determines whether you will be satisfied with existing results or actively explore new knowledge. Only by looking at problems with a correct mindset can we better achieve our life and career goals.

The success rules revealed by Dweck have been applied by many parents, teachers, athletes and administrators with a developmental perspective and have been verified in practice. By understanding one's own thought patterns and changing them, one can in the simplest way develop a passion for learning and the stress resistance needed to succeed in any field.

The book "Lifelong Growth" told me a message - there is an optional difference between people, that is, thinking patterns. Every thought and every action of each of us is a reflection of its unconsciousness. Thoughts after reading m And thinking patterns can be shaped through personal efforts. The idea I hold most of the time is that the height a person can reach depends largely on his or her talent, the innate talent. Our starting line may lag behind those who are born with talent, but in reality there are many people who have achieved extraordinary achievements through acquired training and hard work. There are many such examples in the book. Therefore, even if we lag behind others, there are still ways and means to catch up. Intelligence is not a quantitative quantity, nor is ability. They are like muscles, the more they are exercised, the stronger they become.

Many people highly value talent and despise the value of hard work. They think that the need for hard work means that there is a flaw, a lack of talent, or even a lack of qualifications to compete. If you need to work hard for something or something, It means that it is not destined to belong to you. This is the bias of a fixed mindset. People with this thinking mode are keen on judgment and are result-oriented. They tend to care more about success and failure, and have more difficulty facing failure. They are more likely to give up when encountering setbacks, and are more prone to anxiety and depression. If you want to destroy a genius, you only need to praise him for being a genius. This will make him live in fear and anxiety of falling off the altar, shrinking his hands and feet, and never finding the joy of doing things. Ironically, the top is where people with a fixed mindset aspire to be, but it is a byproduct of the work passion of many people with a growth mindset. They believe that even if they are not the best at the moment, they can devote themselves to it and persevere, and they will be more resilient to failure. Author: Sun Zixuan Thoughts after reading "Lifelong Growth" 7

The book I am reading recently is called "Lifelong Growth". This book mentions two ways of thinking, one is fixed thinking and the other is growth thinking. Generally speaking, people with a fixed mindset believe that intelligence and abilities are innate and that nurture plays little role.

The growth mindset believes that as long as you go in the right direction and work hard enough, you can achieve improved abilities and good results.

The biggest problem with fixed thinking is that he believes that intelligence is innate, so he can only prove that he is smart by doing simple things or things he is sure of to ensure that he completes them smoothly, and challenges It will make you feel frustrated and doubt that you are not smart. This is not the case with a growth mindset. They tell themselves in their hearts that I can do things better through constant challenges, or even if I don't do well this time, I can improve my abilities by constantly overcoming difficulties.

Tell me a simple example. The elderly at home always like to praise the children for being so smart, much smarter than your mother when she was a child. After hearing such words many times, children will think that they are smart in their hearts. Give him a math problem, and he feels he is not sure about it, so he starts to lose his temper and says, "It's too difficult, I don't want to do it." This is what the fixed mindset brings us. We are afraid of challenges, because failing to challenge will prove that we are not smart. So I say this to children, it is absolutely not enough for a person to succeed by relying on intelligence. The correct direction and continuous practice are the necessary conditions for success. Look at this subtraction question. If you don’t know how to do it this time, your mother will tell you how to do it. Then you try to do it by yourself. If you do two more questions, you will find that the question will become easier, or it will be called Practice makes perfect. Great athletes must not rely solely on talent, we must see the sweat and hard work behind them.

Growth mindset may not necessarily be passed on to children through parents. The problem is that first, the way of praise is wrong, and the children care about the results of learning rather than the process of hard work. Children will unconsciously have a fixed mindset and not believe in their abilities. Can be cultivated. The second is the reaction to setbacks. If children pay too much attention to their occasional failures, the children will be immersed in the feeling of failure and neglect to learn lessons from failure and bounce back. The third is whether to pay attention to the in-depth understanding of knowledge. In order to improve scores, all kinds of rote memorization have actually deviated from the growth mindset. Inappropriate learning methods will not lead to real ability improvement, but only the accumulation of knowledge.

The picture below shows the difference between fixed mindset and growth mindset. Changing the way of thinking does not happen overnight. When facing problems, think more and complain less, and keep moving in a better direction. Thoughts after reading "Lifelong Growth" 8

My first boss once said to me after working that it is important to work hard, and more importantly, to have your own thinking model and clarify your work ideas. Not only This is true at work as well as in life. After watching "Lifelong Growth", I have a deeper understanding of this sentence: The so-called lifelong growth refers to the importance of having a lifelong growth mindset.

The article mentioned that there are fixed and growth thinking modes in people's brains. Under fixed thinking, people tend to focus on results and think that nothing can be changed when things happen; under growth thinking, people pay more attention to results. Process efforts, thinking that things are constantly changing.

Many people say that "character determines destiny, and attitude determines everything." In fact, tracing the origin of character and attitude is dominated by thinking patterns. An example mentioned in the article: A candidate was about to apply for a graduate school. She was confident in herself and only applied for the one she liked. However, her application was rejected. The competitor began to suspect that the competition was too fierce. , or are you really mediocre in qualifications? She had already made her own verdict - you don't deserve this institute. Later, after several inner struggles, she called the institute and said, "I'm not questioning your decision. I just want to ask how I can improve if I apply again next time. Can you give me some feedback and suggestions?" The person in charge of the hospital appreciated her initiative and responded a few days later, agreeing to accept her application. It turned out that the admissions office's rejection at that time was just a thought after fatigue. Having the courage to try and not being afraid of rejection is a good reflection of a growth mindset.

The final chapter of "Lifelong Growth" discusses the process leading to a growth mindset. It is divided into four steps. The first is to accept the existence of fixed thinking, and the second is to observe and analyze the reasons that trigger fixed thinking. , the third is to name the emotions and remind yourself all the time, and the fourth is to continue learning to improve growth thinking. I'm very interested in the third step. When the fixed thinking is triggered, you can call it Wang Er, Mazi appears again, and Madaha comes to you. Let's see how you get rid of it.

I also call this emotion of mine a "little scalper". Every time it appears, it is always very stubborn. It won't move until you push it, and sometimes it may not be able to push it. Some time ago, in the process of following up on the project, I needed to go through the procurement and reimbursement process. I often resisted this in my heart, so I procrastinated for a month and was urged by customers. Later, I really didn’t want to see the "little scalper" pull it off. When I left, I discovered that all departments were actually very cooperative and the process was not as complicated as I thought.

Every change starts with accepting yourself as you are now. I hope you can continue to know yourself, make some adjustments, continue to grow, and then internalize it into a part that is beneficial to yourself. Thoughts after reading "Lifelong Growth" 9

The biggest change in my thinking caused by this book is that I realized that I used to be a person with a fixed mindset. This book told me how to become a fixed mindset. Shift to a growth mindset.

Carroll wrote in the book that people with a fixed mindset believe that talent is everything, that people's abilities are fixed, and eager to succeed. After success, they feel more than just success. It is pride, and more of a sense of superiority, because success means that their fixed abilities are better than others.

At this time, let us compare people with a growth mindset. They believe that personal abilities can be cultivated through learning, and personal progress requires learning new knowledge and developing one's own talents.

It is undeniable that I am indeed a typical person with a fixed mindset. When I study and do anything, even playing games, I constantly prove my talents and abilities. I like to pretend that I can accomplish it easily. People who do everything, don't like to ask questions, don't like to ask others for help... In fact, this is a self-restriction of being stuck in one's own ways. It not only limits one's own development, but also limits the perspective of looking at the development of things.

For example, it is very interesting that I was exposed to a game called "Clash of Clans" before, but I did not play it consistently because I thought that the resources at different levels in the game were constant, so I It should be taken for granted that the ability of a tribe is constant. An army of a third-level tribe will never be able to capture a fifth-level or even sixth-level tribe. Until one day, Xu Zhewei told me that he had successfully razed an eleventh-level tribe to the ground (he was at level nine), and showed me how he laid out his troops, down to every second and every detail. What is the importance of strategy? In the past, I would have dismissed it because I was not very interested in games. But I happened to read this book that day and I was surprised to find that the fixed mindset is like this in me. operational.

How can we change this thinking mode? Carroll pointed out many cases and methods, but the conclusion I came to after thinking is: first and most important, we must recognize ourselves and admit ourselves of ordinary. Admitting that you are ordinary is a great thing. After all, everyone hopes that they are born special - if they are not geniuses, they must also have some other halo. When you feel that you are ordinary, when you feel that you are not a genius, you will learn skills more humbly, accept other people's suggestions, don't mind asking others for help, and accept failure and success more peacefully, so that you can better explore own potential and develop your own abilities. Again, I would like to send a message to my friend: "Flawless trust is the root of sin. I hope we will still know each other many years from now." After reading "Lifelong Growth" 10

It's time to share reading again, Being a procrastinator, I finally finished reading it at the last minute. In fact, it doesn’t have to be delayed. But it is the end of the year, and study and life have become extremely busy. The busier people are, the lazier they are, which makes many tasks have to be postponed until the time limit is approaching. I heard that procrastination is a form of avoidance and speculation. In other words, if we put off doing things until the last minute, if the result is good, it can prove that our ability is strong enough; but if the result is not good, it is because we did not prepare too seriously, not because we are not capable. , which is excusable.

Starting from this point, it just confirms the two ways of thinking in "Lifelong Growth". One is fixed thinking: the belief that people's talents are immutable. The other is a growth mindset: it believes that people's abilities can be cultivated through hard work. Although people's innate talents, qualifications, and personalities are different, they can all be changed through hard work and experience. And my way of judging my ability by "delaying results" must be a fixed mindset.

So procrastination is probably a way to protect one's self-esteem. I hate others challenging my authority, and I like to shirk all responsibilities to others, just for a little bit of psychological comfort.

So is there any way to change this kind of thinking? Carol Dweck tells us in "Lifelong Growth" - Yes! At the end, the author proposes the journey to a growth mindset:

The first step: acceptance. That is to embrace our fixed mindset. We need to know that everyone’s thinking mode is a mixture of growth and fixed. There is nothing to be ashamed of. This is the case for normal humans.

Step 2: Observe. It’s about identifying what triggers your fixed mindset. When will that fixed mindset personality come back? When you understand the personality of this fixed mindset and identify the reasons that inspire its appearance, don't rush to evaluate, observe it first.

Step 3: Name. Let’s give the fixed mindset personality a name. Will it be named after someone in your life? Or a character in a book or movie? Or maybe you gave him a name you didn’t like to remind yourself that this is not the person you want to be?

Step 4: Education. Educate the fixed mindset and let him walk this journey with you. When you're about to step out of your comfort zone, be prepared to welcome him when he shows up and stops you. When you encounter a setback, it's a good time for him to show up again. Don't suppress or forbid him from doing anything, just let him do what he wants, let him dance and sing, and then when he calms down a bit, tell him how you plan to learn from the setback and move on. Ideally, we will learn more and more about how to help those who are also on the journey.

Therefore, real success is never accidental, and accidental success is not reliable. I hope that we can have the courage to face setbacks and failures on our way to growth. They do not appear to defeat you, but to give you opportunities to grow and learn what is useful to you.
