There is one thing that can be easily learned in five minutes and it can have a great impact on your life and the lives of your children or students It is 36 the Growth Mindset and it is simple powerful and 37 by a vast body of scientific research
In a series of 38 the Stanford researcher Carol Dweck divided students into two 39 and gave them relatively 40 math tests The students all did 41 in the tests — half of them were praised for being naturally 42 and half were praised for working hard
After those 43 they were given harder math tests Those students who were praised for 44 quickly adopted the Growth Mindset and performed better They think hard work got me this far so I just 45 to work a bit harder and I will figure out these questions faced with more difficult problems
Students who were praised for being clever acted 46 They might think perhaps I’m not that clever after all 47 I can’t figure out these harder questions So they would quickly 48 Or worse they see the hard questions as a(n) 49 to their selfesteem (尊) and develop the dangerous habit of 50 any situation where they might be wrong or any situation where they might 51 something new
So what can you 52 If you are a parent or a 53 praise efforts rather than the innate (先天) ability And for yourself — ascribe () your own 54 to efforts rather than the innate ability 55 that your success is a result of your efforts rather than some innate gift It is really that simple

My 38 with my mom all started one day 39 she said to me sarcastically (讽刺) Wow you’re surely lively today I 40 it so literally (字面) that then and there I decided to close off from her and never 41 back to her So every time she would say something 42 I disagreed with her I would just say Okay 43 you want Mom But I really got cold quickly And my 44 began to build One night I talked to my mom about the school homework and she said Oh that’s 45 and then went back to mop the floor
Don’t you ever 46 I thought But I didn’t say anything and stormed off She had no idea I was 47 upset She would have been willing to talk to me had I 48 her bow important it was to me

After my blow up we felt like we were 52 all over in our relationship But it’s getting better all the lime We discuss things now and I always 53 my feelings with her
