Thinking is the main lever in the development, in the personal and professional growth of a person. In this article, we will talk about how the way of thinking affects our lives.

What are the two types of thinking

If you think you can't change much, you probably have a fixed mindset. This fixed mindset often hinders and limits a person's accomplishments.

So a person is limited to situations in which he feels comfortable and feels insecure when one of his friends and acquaintances succeeds.

The growth mindset means that you are able to believe that you can change and learn new things with some effort. In this case, a person is inspired by the success of others and receives feedback. This belief reflects the notion that talent and brains are just a starting point.

A 2019 study found that students who took a mind development course scored higher. However, when they returned to the classroom with the fixed mindset teachers, their performance deteriorated.

This means that our environment influences our thinking and success.

In addition, mindsets can change and combine with each other.
