Professor Carol S. Dweck is at Stanford University. She has written a book called Mindset: The Psychology of Success. Her website is www.psych.stanford.edu/~dweck. She says there are two mindsets, one being "fixed" and the other being a "growth" mindset.
The fixed mindset says success is based on ability. The growth mindset says success is based on hard work and learning. She has worked with lots of students and believes that we must stop saying: Good work! You are so smart! and start saying: Good work! You really worked hard and it shows!
The growth mindset helps any person live a less stressful and successful life, not just the "smart ones."
