Recently,a video on the Internet attracted widespread attention.About 1,000 students across China talked about what they didn't want to be in the future.This was a bit unusual.Normally,people talk about the things they do want to do or be.
Well,it turns out that most of the students are unsatisfied with the world as it is now.There are lots of big problems.Some have easy solutions and others don't.Most adults have become jaded.In other words,they get tired,worn-out and give up on having any dreams or hopes of being able to make the world a better place.
When I was a teenager,my parents told me I could do anything and be whatever it was I wanted to be.I usually laughed and thought this was a bit silly and impractical.However,looking back,my teachers' support and my experience as a summer camp counselor(顧問)led me to choose a career in education,which I really appreciated.I've been looking for more ways to encourage my students to keep their dreams alive.I always encourage them to try to help make the world a better place.I have found that I have personally been able to achieve this in the job now as a Director of College Counseling.
But how can you achieve what you want to do?According to one of my favorite books,The Four Disciplines of Execution,there are four steps.Focus on your wildly important goals—your "WIGs",develop steps to achieve them,keep a diary of your progress,and finally check your progress.
So what's my WIG?Don't be afraid,think positively and dream big!

3.One teacher praises a student by saying "You're so smart!" Another teacher says "You must have worked really hard at this!" Which student does better in school?Studies show that students who hear the words of the second teacher will do better.Those students are learning that their effort is important.
Psychologists(心理學家)looked at what students did after they were given different types of praise.Some students were told that they were good at a task.They didn't try very hard the next time.Other students were told that they had worked hard at a task.They worked even harder the next time.The first group of students was learning that they had a set amount of skill.They didn't think they could do any better.This is called a fixed mindset(思維模式).The second group was learning that they could do better if they kept trying.This is called a growth mindset.People who have a growth mindset believe that the brain can grow;people can do better and learn new skills.If they work hard,they can be successful.
How can teachers and parents help students succeed?They can focus mainly on effort and not simply on ability.When students succeed,teachers and parents should praise the actual work rather than intelligence(智力)or talent.When students fail,they should be told how they can do better.Teachers,parents and students need to value effort,not intelligence.Beliefs of Fixed and Growth Mindsets Fixed Mindset Growth Mindset Things you're born with that cannot change Things you can grow and improve with hard work Something to avoid—could show lack of skill Something important—leads to success Things to avoid—in case you aren't good enough Things that help you learn
