Carol S. Dweck is a renowned psychologist known for her pioneering research on motivation, personality, and development. She is best recognized for introducing the concept of "mindsets," particularly the differentiation between fixed and growth mindsets.

In contrast, those with a growth mindset embrace challenges and perceive failures as opportunities for learning and growth. Dweck's work has profound implications for education, as she emphasizes the importance of fostering a growth mindset in students. By promoting the idea that intelligence and talent can be developed through effort and perseverance, educators can inspire resilience and a passion for learning. This approach not only enhances academic achievement but also builds a positive attitude toward challenges in various life aspects. Beyond education, Dweck's insights apply to personal and professional development, offering a framework for individuals to rethink their approach to challenges and setbacks. By cultivating a growth mindset, people can unlock their potential and approach their life endeavors with a more constructive and optimistic outlook.

Taffy. He thinks about taffy. He thinks it would take his teeth out now, but he would eat it anyhow, if it meant eating it with her.

All our human endeavours are like that, she reflected, and it is only because we are too ignorant to realize it, or are too forgetful to remember it, that we have the confidence to build something that is meant to last.

In fact, none of us knows how he ever managed to get his LLB in the first place. Maybe they're putting law degrees in cornflakes boxes these days.

The value of money is subjective, depending on age. At the age of one, one multiplies the actual sum by 145,000, making one pound seem like 145,000 pounds to a one-year-old. At seven – Bertie's age – the multiplier is 24, so that five pounds seems like 120 pounds. At the age of twenty four, five pounds is five pounds; at forty five it is divided by 5, so that it seems like one pound and one pound seems like twenty pence. {All figures courtesy of Scottish Government Advice Leaflet: Handling your Money.}

Look, if you say that science will eventually prove there is no God, on that I must differ. No matter how small they take it back, to a tadpole, to an atom, there is always something they can't explain, something that created it all at the end of the search. And no matter how far they try to go the other way – to extend life, play around with the genes, clone this, clone that, live to one hundred and fifty – at some point, life is over. And then what happens? When the life comes to an end? I shrugged. You see? He leaned back. He smiled. When you come to the end, that's where God begins.

Small towns are like metronomes; with the slightest flick, the beat changes.

You say you should have died instead of me. But during my time on earth, people died instead of me, too. It happens every day. When lightning strikes a minute after you are gone, or an airplane crashes that you might have been on. When your colleague falls ill and you do not. We think such things are random. But there is a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole.
by Mitch Albom
we get so many lives between birth and death. A life to be a child. A life to come of age. A life to wander, to settle, to fall in love, to parent, to test our promise, to realize our mortality-and, in some lucky cases, to do something after that realization.
