The generation born between 1980 and 2001 grew up playing spor
36、ts where scores and performance were played down because “everyones winner.” And their report cards sounded more positive than ever before. As a result, Stanford University professor Carol Dweck, PhD, calls them “the overpraised generation. ”Dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 4
37、0 years. Her research has led her to find out two clearly different mind-sets that have a great effect on how we react to it. Heres how they work:A fixed mind-set is grounded in the belief that talent is genetic(遗传的) youre a born artist, point guard, or numbers person. The fixed mind-set believes he
38、s sure to succeed without much effort and regards failure as personal shame. When things get difficult, hes quick to blame, lie, and even stay away from future difficulties. On the other hand, a growth mind-set believes that no talent is entirely heaven-sent and that effort and learning make everyth
39、ing possible. Because the ego (自尊) isnt on the line as much, the growth mind-set sees failure as a chance rather than shame. When faced with a difficulty, hes quick to rethink, change and try again. In fact, he enjoys this experience. We are all born with growth mind-sets. Otherwise, we wouldnt be a
40、ble to live in the world. But parents, teachers, and instructors often push us into fixed mind-sets by encouraging certain actions and misdirecting praise. Dwecks book, Mind-set: The New Psychology of Success, and online instructional program explain this in depth. But she says there are many little

44、row with praise. DIn the countries of South and Southeast Asia, the elephant has been an important part of the culture, economy and religion for centuries. And nowhere more so than in Thailand. Unlike its African cousin, the Asian elephant is easily domesticated（驯化）. The rare so-called white elephan
45、ts have actually lent the power of royalty (皇室)to its rulers，and until the 1920s the national flag was a white elephant on a red background. To the early Western visitors, the countrys romantic name was“ Land of the White Elephant. Today, however, the story is very different. Out of work and out of
46、land, the Thai elephant struggles for survival in a nation that no longer needs it.
