The grip of his hands on the steering wheel was getting stronger and his heart was beating faster. His mind was opening up, yet he was confident that the success he had worked so hard for months would not go to waste.
Due to this, our whole personality and life is form A person with a growth mindset is optimistic, he keeps the possibilities as wide as possible, he finds a way out for himself even in the difficulties of life.
His car was leaving the road behind at high speed. The target was only half a mile away from him. He was about to celebrate his victory with this certain victory when suddenly the engine turned off. It happened and the car stopped swaying. He quickly got out, checked the car. Everything was fine, then why did the car stop? Muttering to himself, he took one more look and then it slid to the ground under John Cross's feet. He had run out of petrol. His helplessness skyrocketed, but instead of getting angry at himself or blaming his mechanic, he did an amazing thing. He started pushing his car. It's easier to push a heavy car. There was no work. In a few moments he was drenched in sweat, but the promise he had made to himself was fulfilled. During this time, several players passed him, but he did not despair and continued to move towards the goal and as soon as He drove the car
It was Jack Graham, a racing fanatic, who dreamed of becoming the champion in the 1959 Grand Prix. His car stopped in the middle of the road. Now at this demoralizing moment, he could have sat in despair and considered himself unlucky, but his mindset was right. Running out of petrol was not in his control, but he pushed the car to the destination. It was within his power to reach, so thanks to this mindset, he did not let his determination break, using all his energy, he reached his goal even as he fell. After regaining consciousness, he realized that he had come fourth in the race. But thanks to the example he has set, the management has awarded him the title of "Fatih" and he has become a champion.
Mindset is something that affects my and your attitude, reaction, perception of good and bad, hope and disappointment and success. It affects the whole life. Its example is like the glasses on the eyes. Now the color Therefore, the outside world will also appear to us in the same way. It is through this perspective that we see and judge things. Through this, we react to every action. And the whole life is formed.
Types of Mindsets: There are two types of mindsets: "Growth Mindset" and "Fixed Mindset". A person with a growth mindset is an optimist. Someone finds a way for himself, while the thinking of a person with a fixed mind is frozen. He does not think beyond one line. Even in the slightest problem, his hands and feet swell and he thinks that life is over. A person with a growth mindset. A person sails his boat even in a heavy storm, while a fixed-minded person misunderstands even a slight rain as a storm and wastes himself. The signs of 'fixed mindset' are very common and you will be surprised to know that you will see these things in abundance in your society and it will give you an idea why the society is not moving forward.
A person with a "fixed mindset" always thinks that "I can't do it". There is a problem, a problem, a new step, whatever it is, he thinks that it is not up to me. It is actually a way to escape from one's responsibilities. Days pass, weeks pass, even years pass, but it remains there. There is no positive change in the life of such a person, nor any impressive performance. And not remarkable success, whereas a person with a growth mindset is always looking to learn. He doesn't think I can't do it, but he starts and if the task is beyond his understanding. So he learns about it first. He stops himself for a while. He starts to find the solution to the problem and then he completes the difficult task easily.
Another weakness of a person with a fixed mind set is that he tries to get away with everything by saying "I don't know" but he doesn't know that this thing is becoming a huge obstacle in the way of his progress. Compared to this, a person with a growth mindset tries to find something if he does not know anything. Every person who is a seeker, he nurtures his purpose. One day the door is opened for him who keeps knocking on it. To a mind full of curiosity, this universe seems like a book. The changing seasons, the chirping of birds, the coolness of the wind, the moisture of the grass and the blooming roses, everything speaks to him. and he learns from them and improves his life.
Even a minor problem comes in the life of a person with a fixed mind set, then he exaggerates it and thinks that it is very difficult. It cannot be. Psychology says that whenever a person starts saying about a problem that If it can't be done, then it really can't be done. The best way to do this is to start looking at the problem as a challenge. Whenever you challenge your mind, it will try its best to find a solution. A simple example is a puzzle. The mind of a person does not get tired while putting together a puzzle, nor does he get bored with it, but he is constantly engaged in completing it. The reason is that he considers the puzzle as a challenge.
remember ! Life's difficulties and challenges are actually for your training. Sometimes a difficulty comes and it lowers your ego. Another problem comes and it makes you humble. A hypocrite throws people out of life. Any trouble introduces you to the value of things. In short, no matter how difficult it is, there must be some aspect of good in it for you.
A perfect example of this is the circus tiger. He has become so lazy that he jumps from one place to another after seeing the whip. Even children are playing with his tail because he has become harmless. The reason is this. That there are no challenges in his life. He gets food. He is protected from rain and sun and is enjoying life in the comfort zone, whereas a tiger in the jungle has to fight for his survival every day. Every day he has to struggle for food. Every day he has to run miles behind the prey and catch it, and in this running his body is injured, he falls, slips and becomes a thief due to exhaustion, but for this reason he is called a lion who, when he comes in front of a human being, only sees him. Let the blood dry.
A person with a fixed mindset does not dare to do anything new even thinking that he will not fail somewhere. He has a fear of failure more than the desire to succeed and this fear makes him his prisoner, while a person with a growth mindset thinks, which It will be seen. What will happen more? If I fail, I will sing. So, even if I fail, I will learn something that will be useful for me in my future life.
A person with a "fixed mindset" lacks confidence. He thinks that he is not good at anything. He does not try new things, he leaves himself in the comfort zone. He compromises on living a decent life. And because of this thinking, nothing changes in his life, everything remains as it is, while a person with a "growth mindset" takes steps thinking that I can get something out of this work for my benefit. This person will be optimistic and always hope for improvement.
Thanks to the "optimistic" thinking, the country, institutions and people develop. Be sure that the problem of our country today is not the price of electricity, gas or dollar, but the problem is that we have to focus on ourselves, our country and our own. I don't believe the situation can get any better. This is the reason why those who are doing good in the society today are discouraged. Anyone who talks about changing the society is ridiculed. Anyone who talks about development is considered to be complacent and this is the negative collective behavior. Due to the number of those who light the light of good is not increasing.
A person with a fixed mind set is not prepared for the situations of life. He says: "I think, I have to know more, I have to research", then I will go and do it" and thus he keeps himself. Satisfied, while a person with a growth mindset says that there could not be a better time, so he rolls up his sleeves and gets to work and takes out the best opportunities for himself from this situation
.
The best example of this is today. Today is the era of IT and technology. Be assured that there is no better time to develop, where all you need is an internet connection and a laptop and you can access knowledge and knowledge from all over the world. One can learn arts, improve one's personality, equip one's abilities and change one's life thanks to all these qualities. If a person is not ready even in the presence of such excellent opportunities, then it is his own deprivation, because if there is an intention to come, a thousand ways are created, but if it is not possible to come, then the human heart makes millions of excuses.
In a person with a fixed mind set, you will also find that when you ask him to do something, he replies: "No, it's too late, the time has passed." Although he forgets it in the morning, he forgets it when he comes home in the evening. They say no. It might be a great opportunity for them to get ahead, but they miss it because of their frozen thinking, while a person with a "growth mindset" says it's not too late. He is indifferent to the fact that age has passed, things are not the same anymore or what people will say. He does not miss any opportunity to learn and move forward and this is the secret of his progress.
Change your mindset and put your full energy in spite of unfavorable circumstances like Jack Graham. Be sure it's too late to change your mindset, after that you will start climbing the ladder of success.
