Quotes About Fixed and growth mind-set

"Growth mind-set: In this mind-set, the hand you're dealt is just the starting point for development. The growth mind-set is based on the belief that your basic qualities are things you can cultivate through your efforts. Although people may differ in every way in their initial talents and aptitudes, interests, or temperaments, everyone can change and grow through effort and experience."

— Carol Dweck

"Believing that your qualities are carved in stone, the fixed mind-set creates an urgency to prove yourself over and over. If you have only a certain amount of intelligence, a certain personality, and a certain moral character - well, then you'd better prove that you have a healthy dose of them. It simply wouldn't do to look or feel deficient in these most basic characteristics."

— Carol Dweck
