Chapter 3 The truth about ability and accomplishment
Mindset and school achievement
固定思维的学生认为努力是那些没有天赋的人才会去做的事情，努力就意味着自己智商低。想想读书的时候确实会有这样的想法：他成绩好不就是因为刻苦嘛，有什么大不了的。但关键是自己根本做不到那样的认真。
在夸奖孩子的时候也要注意，如果只是说你太聪明了，可能会让孩子养成固定思维。如果孩子做的好夸孩子努力，孩子更可能养成成长型思维。
如果一个老师是固定性思维，那些一开始成绩不太好的孩子就会被贴上低智商的标签，永远被放弃。而成长型思维的老师则相信每一个孩子都是有潜力的。
