Mindset读书笔记...

Carol S. Dweck的Mindset系列笔记


Page 7

You can see how the belief that cherished qualities can be developed creats a passion for learning. Why waste time proving over and over how great you are, when you could be getting better? Why hide deficiencis instead of overcoming them?Why look for friends or partners who will just shore up your self-esteem instead of ones who will also challenge you to grow? And why seek out the tried and the true, instead of experiences that will stretch you? The passion for stretching yourself and sticking to it, even (or especially) when it's not going well, is the hallmark of the growth mindset. This is the mindset that allows people to thrive during some of the most challenging times in their lives.

很多时候我们需要的不是安慰和保护,而是challenge you to grow. 对于 “单词背不下来” “语法搞不清楚” “如何快速掌握..." "求分享学习方法和技巧"这样的问题,大多时候真正有效的答案是: 你太懒了, 或者是“勤奋的懒人” -- 看起来很美。
他人的学习方法固然有借鉴之处,但绝不可以直接照搬,我们要结合自己的实际情况来选择性利用 -- "Good learners copy, great learners steal." 要明白一个方法背后的机制是什么,而不是依葫芦画瓢 -- 否则的话很容易就“听了这么多大道理,依然学不好英文”。We need to seek out experiences that will stretch us.



While you're left admiring people who can do that, it's never clear how these things fit together or how you could ever become that way. So you're inspired for a few days, but basically the world's most successful people still have their secrets.

别迷信专家,别看热闹,踏踏实实的谦虚学习,要相信勤能补拙,厚积薄发。我们一边需要的是坚持不懈的死磕(perserverance), 也需要不断的调整自己(resillence)谈笑风生。



As you begin to understand the fixed and growth mindsets, you will see exactly how one thing leads to another -- how a belief that your qualities are carved in stone leads to a host of thoughts and actions, and how a belief that your qualities can be cultivated leads to a host of differernt thoughts and actions, taking you down an entirely different road. It's what we psychologists call an Aha! experience.



我很喜欢的两个英文词, 一个是serendipity, 一个是eureka! 踏踏实实的积累,上路了,serendipity也就纷沓而至了, 然后随着一个有一个的eureka! 我们找到了自己的epiphany。



在读书群中我要求参与者写笔记,笔记包括最基础的字词句段的整理,仿写例句,自己造句,除此之外更重要的是要有take-away message或者Aha Moment, 把我们阅读到的东西和自己联系起来,脑洞开的再大也无所谓,这就是阅读的乐趣 -- 让我们从不同的体验中寻求enlightment。

若是一个“有心人”,生活处处都是教材,都是智慧。这个“有心”说的就是我们有一个积极思考的习惯,开放的态度。时时刻刻给自己提个醒,哪怕是fake it till you make it。

另外和大家分享一下“我们为何一定要在读书的时候做笔记”。

 How to Read a Book中认为记笔记有三条主要原因:

Why is marking a book indispensable to reading it? First, it keeps you awake—not merely conscious, but wide awake. Second, reading, if it is active, is thinking, and thinking tends to express itself in words, spoken or written. The person who says he knows what he thinks but cannot express it usually does not know what he thinks. Third, writing your reactions down helps you to remember the thoughts of the author.

Reading a book should be a conversation between you and the author. Presumably he knows more about the subject than you do; if not, you probably should not be bothering with his book. But understanding is a two-way operation; the learner has to question himself and question the teacher. He even has to be willing to argue with the teacher, once he understands what the teacher is saying. Marking a book is literally an expression of your differences or your agreements with the author. It is the highest respect you can pay him.

我们把一本书买回来就有了它的“financial ownership”, 但是只有我们通过记笔记的“拆书”方式才能把它变为我们的"intellectual ownership"。除了一些基本的记笔记方法,书中还提到:

To inveterate book-markers, the front endpapers are often the most important. Some people reserve them for a fancy bookplate. But that expresses only their financial ownership of the book. The front endpapers are better reserved for a record of your thinking. After finishing the book and making your personal index on the back endpapers, turn to the front and try to outline the book, not page by page or point by point (you have already done that at the back), but as an integrated structure, with a basic outline and an order of parts. That outline will be the measure of your understanding of the work; unlike a bookplate, it will express your intellectual ownership of the book.

我们要把书的front endpapers和back endpapers都利用起来。我们大多数都会把书的第一页用来写自己的名字,这样就有点浪费了 -- 证明我们读过这本书的最好方式就是自己把这本书的框架思路总结在front endpapers上。

为什么那些比你优秀的人比你更努力
