"This point isâ€….â€….â€….â€…crucial,â€Â writes Dweck. â€œIn the fixed mindset, everything is about the outcome. If you fail â€” or if youâ€™re not the best â€” itâ€™s all been wasted. The growth mindset allows people to value what theyâ€™re doing regardless of the outcome."

-- Carol S. Dweck

“May God save the country, for it is evident that the people will not.”

“Read to your children Twenty minutes a day; You have the time, And so do they. Read while the laundry is in the machine; Read while the dinner cooks; Tuck a child in the crook of your arm And reach for the library books. Hide the remote, Let the computer games cool, For one day your children will be off to school; Remedial? Gifted? You have the choice; Let them hear their first tales In the sound of your voice. Read in the morning; Read over noon; Read by the light of Goodnight Moon. Turn the pages together, Sitting close as you'll fit, Till a small voice beside you says, "Hey, don't quit.”

“When you see a snake, never mind where he came from.”
