Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

Quotes On Autonomy Mastery Mindset Modern Classic Motivation Practice

Share
“Autonomous people working toward mastery perform at very high levels. But those who do so in service of some greater objective can achieve even more. The most deeply motivated people—not to mention those who are most productive and satisfied—hitch their desires to a cause larger than themselves.”

“As an entrepreneur, I’m blessed with 100% autonomy over task, time, technique, and team. Here’s the thing: If I maintain that autonomy, I fail. I fail to ship. I fail to excel. I fail to focus. I inevitably end up either with no product or a product the market rejects. The art of the art is picking your limits. That’s the autonomy I most cherish. The freedom to pick my boundaries.”

Quotes On failure Mindset Modern Classic

Share
“What would make some students chronically worried about failure? I suggest that an entity theory of intelligence may lie at the heart of this. Within an incremental theory, a failure just means that your present strategy or your present skills are inadequate, but within an entity theory, a failure can cast doubt on your global permanent intelligence—definitely something to avoid.”

Carol Dweck

“I am not suggesting that failure and criticism are more beneficial than success and praise. Nor am I arguing that a feeling of confidence isn’t a good thing to have, but I will argue that it is not the heart of motivation or the key to achievement.”

Carol Dweck

“This means that with a learning goal, students don’t have to feel that they’re already good at something in order to hang in and keep trying. After all, their goal is to learn, not to prove they’re smart.”

Carol Dweck
