PASSAGE THIRTY-FIVE

Everyone’s a winner

1.Make Up Your Mind to Succeed Kind-hearted parents have unknowingly left their children defenseless against failure.

2.The generation born between 1980 and 2001 grew up playing sports where scores and performance were played down because “everyone’s a winner.”

3.And their report cards sounded more positive than ever before. As a result, Stanford University professor Carol Dweck, PhD, calls them “the overpraised generation.”

4.Dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 40 years. Her research has led her to find out two clearly different mind-sets that have a great effect on how we react to it.

5.Here’s how they work: A fixed mind-set is grounded in the belief that talent is genetic—you’re a born artist, point guard, or numbers person.

6.The fixed mind-set believes it’s sure to succeed without much effort and regards failure as personal shame.

7.When things get difficult, it’s quick to blame, lie, and even stay away from future difficulties.

8.On the other hand, a growth mind-set believes that no talent is entirely heaven-sent and that effort and learning make everything possible.

9.Because the ego isn’t on the line as much, the growth mind-set sees failure as a chance rather than shame.

10.When faced with a difficulty, it’s quick to rethink, change and try again. In fact, it enjoys this experience.

11.We are all born with growth mind-sets. (Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to live in the world.)

12.But parents, teachers, and instructors often push us into fixed mind-sets by encouraging certain actions and misdirecting praise.

13.Dweck’s book, Mind-set: The New Psychology of Success, and online instructional program explain this in depth.

14.But she says there are many little things you can start doing today to make sure that your children, grandchildren and even you are never defeated by failure.

第三十五篇

每个人都是赢家

1.善良的父母不知不觉地让他们的孩子对失败毫无防备。

2.1980年至2001年之间出生的一代人从小就在他们的分数和表现被淡化运动中长大，因为“每个人都是赢家”。

3.他们的成绩单听起来比以往任何时候都更加积极。因此，斯坦福大学教授卡罗尔·德韦克博士称他们为“被过度赞扬的一代”。

4.德维克研究人们如何面对失败已有40年了。她的研究让她发现了两种明显不同的心态，它们对我们的反应有很大的影响。

5.他们是这样工作的:一种固定的思维定势是基于天赋是基因决定的信念，你是天生的艺术家、控卫或数字达人。

6.固定的思维模式认为，不付出太多努力就一定能成功，并将失败视为个人的耻辱。

7.当事情变得困难时，人们很快就会责怪、撒谎，甚至远离未来的困难。

8.另一方面，成长型思维认为没有天赋是天赐的，努力和学习使一切成为可能。

9.因为自我意识没有那么强烈，成长心态将失败视为机会而不是耻辱。

10.当面对困难时，人们会迅速反思、改变并再次尝试。事实上，它很享受这种体验。

11.我们生来就有成长型思维模式。(否则，我们就无法生活在这个世界上。)

12.但是父母、老师和指导员经常通过鼓励某些行为和误导表扬来把我们推向固定的思维模式。

13.德韦克的书《思维定势:成功的新心理学》和在线教学项目对此进行了深入的解释。

        14.但她说，你可以从今天开始做很多小事，以确保你的孩子、孙子甚至你自己永远不会被失败打败。
