Have you ever thought why some countries are better than the other countries in every aspect? For example, why Switzerland is better than Syria? Why Switzerland is a peaceful country and why Syria is always suffering from numerous conflicts? Why western countries are more progressive than the eastern countries? What’s the reason behind so much difference?
Switzerland
Syria
The reason is only one- MINDSET.
The countries like Switzerland have people with the progressive/broad mindset who always strive for growth and advancement whereas countries like Syria have people with the narrow mindset who have declared civil wars which led more than 2,50,000 people dead.The World-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck, in her book,” Mindset: The New Psychology of Success”, has written that there are 2 types of mindsets in the world, the growth mindset and the fixed mindset. The growth mindset strives for learning, advancement and positivity whereas the fixed mindset has no zeal for learning and it’s full of negativity.A person with a growth mindset has a compassionate behaviour. He/she would always make his/her way out of failures and bad times. But that’s not at all the case with the person with a fixed mindset.6 years ago, on 11th of March, Japan was struck with the disastrous tsunami and a 9.1 magnitude earthquake which caused 15,894 deaths, 6,152 people were injured and 2,562 people went missing. That was the worst natural disaster in the history of Japan. Early estimates placed insured losses from the earthquake alone at US$14.5 to $34.6 billion. But all this didn’t shake the Japanese people’s determination. They worked hard and within a year of the mega-disaster, they rebuilt their damaged possessions.In the images below, the upper/left side image was taken on March 2011 and the bottom/right was taken on January 2012.
