是什么使一个人成功实现目标?

What makes someone successful?

In 2006, Carol S. Dweck, PhD,出版30 years of her research answering the question: What makes someone successful? She theorized people contain two mindsets: the fixed mindset and the growth mindset. Choosing one over the other alters the success you find in life.

In my book “Growth Mindset for Athletes, Coaches and Trainers,”讨论了这两种思维方式:

FIXED MINDSET

This is the belief we are born with a set of abilities and intelligences and we cannot move beyond what is inherent within us. People who choose the fixed mindset avoid taking risks, lose out on life’s adventures and look at failures as endings rather than opportunities to learn and try again.

GROWTH MINDSET

这是信念的努力和决心可以为您提供无尽的机会。没有人能发挥全部潜力,因为您总是可以继续学习和成长。选择成长心态的人会冒险,不介意犯错误。相反,他们将错误视为积极因素,因为这些错误是通往增长的门户。

5 ACTION AREAS OF THE MINDSETS

To explain further, Dweck identified five action areas in which the two mindsets diverge: challenges, criticism, success, effort and obstacles.

Here are examples of each mindset. Think of what sounds most like you. Are you someone who thinks with a fixed or growth mindset? If you are in a fixed mindset, it is time to start switching your thought process.

Challenges
Fixed mindset- 避免失败:“我不会参加一场完整的马拉松比赛,因为我认为我不能比半程马拉松比赛更长的时间。”
Growth mindset- 将失败视为机会:“我没有完成整场马拉松比赛,不得不停下来。但是我会再试一次,因为我喜欢挑战身体并将其推向极限的想法。”

批评
Fixed mindset– rejects feedback: “My coach is wrong. I know what is best for me.”
Growth mindset- 从反馈中吸取教训:“在我们的培训课程中和之后,我会问我的教练问题,并记下记住我被告知的内容。”

他人的成功
Fixed mindset- 不安全:“我嫉妒我的朋友参加波士顿马拉松比赛。”
Growth mindset– gets motivated: “I need to spend time doing speed work to qualify for Boston like my friend did. To do this, I will hire coach who can help me get faster and stronger.”

Effort
Fixed mindset– thinks trying means you are no good: “I am already a good cyclist. I don’t need anyone to help me get better.”
Growth mindset– puts in the work: “I’m up at 6 a.m. to train. I can always get a little stronger.”

Obstacles
Fixed mindset– gives up: “I could never run a marathon. I am not a runner.”
Growth mindset- 尝试:“我认为我可以参加马拉松比赛。今天,我将查找我所在地区的跑步组,并加入他们的下一次课程。”

To better see a growth mindset in context, here are a couple of examples:

“Reflecting on past lifestyle changes or personal accomplishments that I previously believed were beyond my ability really helps me keep a growth mindset and trust that I’m capable of more than I think. Once you prove yourself wrong a couple of times, you learn that ‘I can’t’ is a lie, and the only way to ever really know your limits is to step out of your comfort zone.”

“I spent most of 2017 rehabbing high hamstring tendonitis and not running nearly as much as I have in the past. When being a runner is part of your identity, it’s devastating to not be able to do the thing you love. After successfully rehabbing my legs … I gave myself permission to take the pressure I was putting on myself out of the equation and just have fun out there. By making running fun again, with minimal training miles, in the month of January alone, I’ve almost beat my half-marathon PR, and I’ve run 52 miles.”

“The most successful athletes train their mind to have a ‘champion’s growth mindset’ (as I call it) which applies to both trainers and athletes. [This] includesa positive, optimistic attitude,” says personal trainerKira Stokes.

CONCLUSION

从固定的心态完全切换到成长心态可能需要数年的时间,即使不是一生。但是,您应该练习训练自己每天都有成长的心态,就像您每天练习运动一样 - 这是值得的。您会认为耐力运动不是作为数据和结果驱动的东西,而是您喜欢旅途的东西。
