There are psychological traits that all successful people appear to have in common. This concept is called the growth mindset, a term originally coined by Carol Dweck.
Ang mga taong may growth mindset ay naniniwala na ang katalinuhan o kasanayan, sa anumang larangan, ay maaaring ma develop through effort.
Basically, naniniwala sila na maaaring pagyamanin ng sinuman ang kanilang mga kakayahan sa anumang bagay.
People with this form believe that intelligence and skills are innate. Ito ay isang bagay na ipinanganak either born gifted or not; there is no room for change.
Naniniwala sila na ang katalinuhan ay fixed from birth. And this essay will explore why the growth mindset is the better one and how we can develop it.
Let’s talk about the Growth Mindset.
-naniniwala sila na ang katalinuhan at skills sa anumang larangan ay na d-develop. Ngunit pag-usapan din natin kung ano ang mga bagay na hindi.
Yes, it is not magic, hindi ibig sabihin na kapag sinabi ko ito ngayon at inapply agad-agad ay magiging kasing-talino mo na agad si Elon Musk o Steve Jobs, pero? Maaaring ito ay makatulong sa iyo para mapabuti nito ang mga posibilidad na ikaw ay magtagumpay.
ALL OF US ARE A MIXTURE OF BOTH THE GROWTH AND FIXED MINDSET.
Sa ilang bahagi ng ating buhay ay pinapagana natin madalas ang Growth Mindset. Ngunit may mga instances pa din na ang fixed mindset ang mas nangingibabaw. Ito ay dipende sa kung ano ang sitwasyon ng bawat isa.
Ngunit bakit?
Well, based sa research, people with a Growth Mindset are more successful than people with a Fixed Mindset.
For example, natuklasan ng isang pag-aaral na ang mga mag-aaral na may growth mindset ay nagtatrabaho ng 3x more likely to score in the top, while students with a fixed mindset were 4x times more likely to score and the bottom.
Nalaman ng isa pang pag-aaral na ang mga 7th graders ay lumahok sa isang growth mindset program.
Naiwasan nila ang pagbaba ng mga marka na kadalasang nangyayari sa middle school.
Ang mga taong may growth mindset ay mas nababanat, na nagbibigay-daan sa kanila na malampasan ang mapaghamong at mahihirap na sitwasyon dahil mas inuuna nila ang pag-aaral, hindi sila natatakot na makipagsapalaran. They prioritize growing over stagnation.
Sa kabilang banda, ang mga taong may fixed mindset ay ayaw nila ng mga challenges dahil naniniwala sila na ang talent at intelligence are fixed. They look at failures as an assault on who they are as a person.
Para sa kanila, ang kakulangan ng kaalaman ay isang indicator ng “katangahan” at ang meaning ng isang failure sa kanila ay palaging kabiguan.
Ang isang tao na may Growth Mindset ay naniniwala na palaging may pagbabago o transformation; so, they don’t attach their identity to their results.
“Instead, they focus on the process and growing and learning.”
Ayaw isipin o tanggapin ng ilan na ang Growth Mindset at malapit sa reyalidad.
We know that the brain can continue to learn until the day we die. Thanks to neuroscience. It also seems quite intuitive that people must work hard in person and persevere despite obstacles to end up being successful.
Ang mga taong may Growth Mindset ay namumuhay ng higit na naaayon sa reyalidad kaysa sa mga taong may Fixed Mindset.
They can make truer decisions whereas a person with a fixed mindset lives in the greatest state of delusion.
What do I mean by this?
Imagine 2 entrepreneurs: ang isa ay may Growth Mindset, at ang isa ay may Fixed Mindset.
Pareho silang nasa early-stage ng pagnenegosyo.
They suddenly encounter a roadblock and are forced to make a decision.
The one with the fixed mindset sees the long and arduous journey ahead due to the roadblock. The journey is in the way of what matters to her, the result.
Naniniwala siya na ang pagiging isang negosyante ay madali lamang para doon sa mga taong nakatadhana na para talaga dito. At nag decide siyang huminto.
The one with the Growth Mindset sees the long and arduous journey ahead of her and smiles. The journey is the way for her, the journey is what matters.
Taking the role of a student, she accepts the long and arduous path as her teacher.
She’ll allow it to mold her into the person she needs to become to achieve the results she desires. She decides to persist.
Alam naman natin na ang mga bagay ay nangangailangan ng oras, pagsisikap, at diskarte upang makamit ngunit madalas ay mahirap isabuhay ang ganitong uri ng pag-iisip.
Kaya, paano tayo magkakaroon ng Growth Mindset?
The first key to developing your growth mindset is actually very simple.
“Understanding that they exist and that is possible for the brain to change.”
Neuroscience has shown that our brains are not fixed, and in fact, there are very valuable. We can always grow and learn new skills.
The 2nd key is to focus on process over results.
Sinabi ni Dweck na dapat mong purihin sila para sa kanilang pagsisikap at proseso sa halip na purihin sila para sa mga resulta.
Halimbawa, mas mabuting sabihin na: nag-aaral ka nang mabuti para sa iyong exam at talagang nagbunga ang iyong pagsusumikap,” sa halip na “matalino ka, nakakuha ka ng A”
At ang halimbawa, nakatuon ito sa pagpuri sa proseso ng mag-aaral na isang bagay na maaari nilang kontrolin. Hopefully, they learn to associate themselves and their results with the process.
Pero hindi kasing simple ang pagsasabi sa isang tao na “masipag sila at kailangan lang nilang magsikap.”
Kailangan nilang i-internalize na maaari nilang baguhin ang mga resulta sa pamamagitan ng pagbabago ng proseso, kaya kailangan nilang malaman kung paano ang effective process, change it, and make a result from that process.
My solution to this is, to make a journal.
Pumili ng isang activity na gusto mong gawin. Halimbawa, sabihin nating gusto mong maging matalino sa Math.
Ito ang aking journal para sa nabanggit na example…
* Review my notes once a day.
* Do 10 practice problems a day.
*Read the textbooks for 60 minutes a day.
* And meet my professor for 30 minutes a week.
So, my process has been solidified and everything has been quantified. Now I need to designate the results that I am looking for. I needed to target math.
Sabihin natin na I am looking for a grade of 80% or higher sa exam.
When I get my exam mark back, I compare it, to my goal.
If it’s higher than I know my system works, but I can still go back and alter parts of it to see if I can do even better. Or, I can try and optimize it.
Ngunit, kung ang result ay mababa, I definitely go back and refine my process.
I believe this method of keeping a journal, creating a process, and refining it until the desired outcome is achieved will help promote a growth mindset. It keeps our minds focused on a changeable process.
Ang proseso ay palaging mahalaga, it’s not that it doesn’t work, it just doesn’t work yet. Sa tingin ko ang isa pang magandang ideya ay humingi ng payo mula sa mga kapareho, guro, o kung may kakilala ka na alam mong makakatulong sa iyo.
Hanapin ang mga nasa parehong posisyon o industriya tulad mo o yung may mga nagawa na katulad ng kung ano ang iyong gustong subukan o gawin. Tanungin sila tungkol sa proseso at tingnan kung paano at ano ang iyong mga pweding gawin.
Maaari kang makakita ng mga bagay na kanilang ginagawa o nagawa, na gusto mong gamitin sa iyong proseso. Read books about people you admire, try to find details about their processes that you can incorporate into your own.
Lastly, do challenging things.
“To even have a chance of fostering the growth of mindset, you have to step outside of your comfort zone.”
Ang mga taong hindi umaalis sa kanilang comfort zone ay nagsimulang maniwala na ang kanilang success ay dahil sa likas nilang talento.
Halimbawa, a student who is never challenged in school begins to believe that they are really smart.
“I get A’s” therefore they are smart, they might say.
“The result comes so easily to them that they don’t even think about the process. “
Unfortunately, ang nakikita lang nila ay ang results and they get attached to that.
Kaya kapag hindi maiwasan na makakuha sila ng mababang marka, o maka encounter ng failures sa reyalidad na buhay, they will think that they are dumb. They lose faith in themselves because they didn’t get the result they use to receive so easily.
On the other hand, going outside of your comfort zone forces you to adopt a growth mindset to avoid shattering under the weight of adversity.
Kaya, ngayon alam mo na ang tungkol sa Growth Mindset, kung bakit ito mahalaga, at ilang mga ideya kung paano ito paunlarin, tandaan na nangangailangan ng maraming pagsisikap upang mabuo ito and that it’ll always be a battle to avoid falling into the fixed mindset.
“People will see certain things or will happen that trigger a fixed mindset in us. It’s important to notice when this is happening and try to avoid getting fixed in place.”
Gusto kong tapusin ang quote na ito mula kay Carol Dweck…
“The path to the growth mindset is a lifelong journey, not a proclamation”
