Write an introduction that summarizes these two texts:
The difference between two article is the article from Carol Dweck supports Growth Mindset in nurturing children, and also educators should encourage their students with growth mindset. On the other hand, the other article that is written by Alfie Kohn is stressing that being obsessive with neither the growth mindset nor fixed mindset is not helpful and he is insisting that stressing curriculum is more important than just mindsets Explain the differences between a growth mindset and a fixed mindset. Both mindsets are related to the view of intelligence. Fixed mindset believes that intelligence cannot be changed, therefore, no matter how we make an effort, there is not improvement. However, growth mindset believes our possibilities of improvement in intelligence. Believers of growth mindset, thus, does not be ungracious with their failures. Rather, they enjoy and keep their challenge, until they achieve their goal. Discuss if you consider yourself to have a growth or fixed mindset as a college student in your academic environment--or, depending on the context, if you have a combination of the two. I personally acknowledge that there is an inborn intelligence that we cannot get over with our effort. For example, no matter how we make an effort, we cannot become an another Edison. Edison said "Genius is 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration." (quoteinvestigator.com/2012/12/14/genius-ratio/). Edison said this word to say that not everyone can be a genius even if they try hard. However, in my perspective, this word seems we can become an acquired genius who is lacked of only 1 percent of 1 inspiration. That is, the ordinaries can get close to geniuses by putting efforts. Obviously, there is a gap we cannot overcome, but rather than being depressive and kneeled down by our imaginary wall, putting an effort and making a gradual progresses are more productive.

This post provides a concise overview of the mindsets we are researching in class. I wonder how links to course texts might enhance this post?
