Becoming more creative

“Creativity is contagious, pass it on” — Albert Einstein

You can make a significant impact in the world in your own small way if you expand your horizon and start asking: why?
You are supposed to explore and make yourself better, smarter and stay remarkable. Some people are killing their creative instincts without knowing it. Your daily actions either enhance your ability to make a positive impact in your immediate environment or kill your creative habits.
People’s lives would be more fulfilling if they were given greater freedom in the workplace. You can make a significant impact in the world in your own small way if you expand your horizon and start asking: why?

Understanding Personal Growth

Clearly this work is important. But here's the thing: Dweck's growth mindset really isn't a mindset. It's a set of beliefs, specifically about intelligence. And as it turns out, some of the growth mindset beliefs are far too simplistic.*

The reality is that intelligence (as traditionally defined in an academic context) doesn't really budge all that much in our predominant educational paradigm. The research shows that the school a person attends, and the quality of education they receive in fact plays little role in the growth of general intellectual functioning, whereas schooling does impact the growth of standardized test scores (see here). So yes, we can teach to the tests. And having an academic growth mindset may cause growth in standardized testing, but it doesn't actually show growth in general intellectual functioning.
