A Child's Mindset

Failure can be taken in many ways. There were different examples in the book Mindset that showed how certain people handled failure. In chapter 7 there was an example of a younger child who took failure differently. When a child is young they do not know the importance of rights and wrongs. How you talk to a child is very important for example when a child does something wrong it is better to tell them the right way to do something rather than tell them what they did wrong. The book states how important it is to boost a child's self esteem. The book also mentions how giving constructive criticism is the correct way to handle failures with a child. This will allow them to not have such a fixed mindset and feel judged. Since everyone is different you never know how exactly they are going to take failure and the meaning it is towards them. Kids are unaware of the difference. That is why it is so critical to get taught at such a young age on how to handle failures. 

"Children pass on messages" I believe that this is true the wisdom that a child is taught is passed on to other kids. This creates a more open mindset because the child is taking what he or she knows and is passing it along to other students. Having the right mindset develops at such a young age. In the readings online "Are people getting Dumber" it mentions how a child is asked more complicated questions where as back then they would be asked a more simpler question. It all has to do with how you are taught when you are younger. This will develop the kind of Mindset you have. Although, some people's mindsets change you can start to notice certain Mindsets while growing up rather than at an older age. 

To become successful most people have to do a variety of things in order to get there. How you accomplish all the little things will allow you to look more into the reason why you're so successful. Today people focus on bigger things rather than the smaller things. We tend to look at what is in front of us rather than the things it took to get there. This can relate back to the article "Innovations will change your tomorrow".
