Additional quotes by Carol S. Dweck

In my research, I have identified two mindsets that people can have about their talents and abilities. Those with a fixed mindset believe that their talents and abilities are simply fixed. They have a certain amount and that’s that.

People with a growth mindset, on the other hand, think of talents and abilities as things they can develop—as potentials that come to fruition through effort, practice, and instruction.

In the growth mindset, talent is something you build on and develop, not something you simply display to the world and try to coast to success on. - Carol S. Dweck
