请相信，你可以进步

The power of yet.I heard about a high school in Chicago where students had to pass a certain number of courses to graduate, and if they didn't pass a course, they got the grade \Yet.\And I thought that was fantastic, because if you get a failing grade, you think, I'm nothing, I'm nowhere. But if you get the grade \curve. It gives you a path into the future.

专注过程，而不是结果。我听说，在芝加哥有一所高中， 那儿的学生毕业前要通过一系列课程， 如果某一门课没有通过， 成绩就是「暂未通过」。 我想，这真是个绝妙的做法， 因为，如果你某门课的成绩不及格， 你会想，我什么都不是，我什么都没有学到。 但如果你的成绩是「暂未通过」， 你会明白，学习的步伐并没有停下， 你还需逐步向前，争取未来。

\real turning point. I wanted to see how children coped with challenge and difficulty, so I gave 10-year-olds problems that were slightly too hard for them. Some of them reacted in a shockingly positive way. They said things like, \be informative.\They had what I call a growth mindset. But other students felt it was tragic, catastrophic. From their more fixed mindset perspective, their intelligence had been up for judgment, and they failed. Instead of luxuriating in the power of yet, they were gripped in the tyranny of now. 「暂未通过」也让我联想起一件尤为重要的 发生在我职业生涯初期的事情， 这件事对我而言是一个转折点。 当时，我想探究 孩子是如何应对挑战和困难的， 因此，我让一些10岁大的孩子 尝试解决一些对于他们而言 稍稍偏难的问题。 一些孩子积

极应对的方式让我感到震惊。 他们会这样说， 「我喜欢挑战，」 或说，「你知道的，我希望能有所获。」 这些孩子明白，他们的能力是可以提升的。 他们有我所说的成长型思维模式。 但另一些孩子觉得面对这些难题 是不幸，宛如面对一场灾难。 从他们的固定型思维角度来看， 他们的才智受到了评判， 而他们失败了。 他们不懂得享受学习的过程， 而只盯住眼前的成与败，

So what do they do next? I'll tell you what they do next. In one study, they told us they would probably cheat the next time instead of studying more if they failed a test. In another study, after a failure, they looked for someone who did worse than they did so they could feel really good about themselves. And in study after study, they have run from difficulty. Scientists measured the electrical activity from the brain as students confronted an error. On the left, you see the fixed-mindset students. There's hardly any activity. They run from the error. They don't engage with it. But on the right, you have the students with the growth mindset, the idea that abilities can be developed. They engage deeply. Their brain is on fire with yet. They engage deeply. They process the error. They learn from it and they correct it.

这些孩子们后面表现如何？ 让我告诉你他们的表现。 在一项研究中，他们告诉我们， 如果他们某次考试未通过， 他们很可能会在下次考试中作弊， 而不是更加努力地学习。 在另一项研究中，他们挂了一门后， 他们会找到那些考得还不如他们高的孩子， 以寻求自我安慰。 后续的研究陆续表明， 他们会逃避困难。 科学家们监测了学生们面对错误时的 脑电活动图像。 在左侧，是固定型思维模式的学生， 几乎没有什么活动。 他们在错误面前选择了逃避。 他们没有积极地投入。 但请看右侧，这是成长型思维模式的学生， 这些学生相信能力会通过锻炼得以提升。 他们积极地应对错误。 他们的大脑在高速运转， 他们积极地投入， 他们剖析错误， 从中学习，最终订正。

How are we raising our children? Are we raising them for now instead of yet? Are we raising kids who are obsessed with getting As? Are we raising kids who don't know how to dream big dreams? Their biggest goal is getting the next A, or the next test score? And are they carrying this need for constant validation with them into their future lives? Maybe, because employers are coming to me and saying, \of young workers who can't get through the day without an award.\ 如今我们是如何教育孩子的呢？ 是教育他们专注眼前，而不是注重过程吗？ 我们培育了一些迷恋刷A的孩子们吗？ 我们培育了没有远大理想的孩子们吗？ 他们最远大的目标就是再拿一个A， 心里所想的就是下一次考试吗？ 他们在今后的生活中，都以分数的高低 来评判自己吗？ 或许是的，因为企业雇主们跑来找我， 说我们养育的这新一代走上工作岗位的人， 如果不给他们奖励， 他们一天都过不下去。

So what can we do? How can we build that bridge to yet?Here are some things we can do. First of all, we can praise wisely, not praising intelligence or talent. That has failed. Don't do that anymore. But praising the process that kids engage in, their effort, their strategies, their focus, their perseverance, their improvement. This process praise creates kids who are hardy and resilient.

我们该怎么做呢？ 如何让孩子注重过程而不是结果呢？我们可以做这样几件事。 首先，我们可以有技巧地去表扬： 不去表扬天分或才智， 这行不通。 不要再这样做了。 而是要对孩子积极投入的过程进行表扬： 他们的努力与策略， 他们的专注、坚持与进步。 对过程的表扬 会塑造孩子的韧性。
