hello everyone, are you okay? I last wrote in this forum a long time ago. There are several matters that I need to complete with my main job. So, I have to complete my main task. I also need to time the priority things in my life. This time I am back with a book.
Last week, I finished reading this book. This book is entitled Mindset written by Carol S. Dweck. I thought and reflected a lot from this book. Also, am I a group of people who are reluctant to develop? Humans are developing creatures. If he doesn't want to establish himself, his life will die.
The book introduces groups and traits of humans who have a fixed and growth mindset. These two mindsets determine how we will respond to challenges, difficulties, and failures. For me, this book was a source of inspiration for me to think and change. Effort, discovery, and hard work are the basic capital for humans.
I often ignore these things. The two patterns of thinking are also motivated by the education of parents and teachers. Everyone contributes to building a fixed or growth mindset. From this book, I started setting goals and steps so that I could achieve my goals. Another thing I reflect on is that I am someone who is sometimes anti-criticism. Anti-criticism is a strong characteristic of people entering a fixed mindset.
This book also adds several people who have fixed and developed characters. Including, several successful people who have a growth mindset. Do any successful people have a fixed mindset? there is, but in the end, the person becomes an arrogant person. From this book, I also realized that a person's mindset can be changed, from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset.
I forget that learning is a process, not a result. I realized that I am very results-oriented. not the process. This made me realize that I was no longer afraid of challenges and mistakes. Failures, mistakes, and challenges become growth opportunities. I feel like this book is the right book for me to re-set goals in my life. That's all I can tell. What do you think?
Many things stunned me while reading. I thought about how bad I had been. Especially, in criticism. I am reluctant to accept criticism. I often feel hurt by criticism. In my job, I hate it and it hurts my soul when I receive such criticism. I don't think there is a group whose job it is to provide criticism. Not for my personality. I forgot about that.
Will I be able to accept the criticism? Honestly, I feel bored with my job. This is a sign that I am not growing. I don't utilize my capacity to the fullest and I don't have a goal in life. That's what's been making me a little confused, lately. That's all I can tell. What do you think?
