Others pointed to the strong differences in people’s backgrounds,
experiences, training, or ways of learning. It may surprise you to know that
a big champion of this view was Alfred Binet, the inventor of the IQ test.
Wasn’t the IQ test meant to summarize children’s unchangeable
intelligence? In fact, no. Binet, a Frenchman working in Paris in the early
twentieth century, designed this test to identify children who were not
profiting from the Paris public schools, so that new educational programs
could be designed to get them back on track. Without denying individual
differences in children’s intellects, he believed that education and practice
could bring about fundamental changes in intelligence. Here is a quote from
one of his major books, Modern Ideas About Children, in which he
summarizes his work with hundreds of children with learning difficulties:

The first ones were fairly easy, but the next ones were hard. As the students
grunted, perspired, and toiled, I watched their strategies and probed what
they were thinking and feeling. I expected differences among children in
how they coped with the difficulty, but I saw something I never expected.
Confronted with the hard puzzles, one ten-year-old boy pulled up his
chair, rubbed his hands together, smacked his lips, and cried out, “I love a
challenge!” Another, sweating away on these puzzles, looked up with a
pleased expression and said with authority, “You know, I was hoping this
would be informative!”
What’s wrong with them? I wondered. I always thought you coped with
failure or you didn’t cope with failure. I never thought anyone loved failure.
Were these alien children or were they on to something?
Everyone has a role model, someone who pointed the way at a critical
moment in their lives. These children were my role models. They obviously
knew something I didn’t and I was determined to figure it out—to
understand the kind of mindset that could turn a failure into a gift.
Much of what you think of as your
personality actually grows out of this “mindset.” Much of what may be
preventing you from fulfilling your potential grows out of it.
Kişiliğiniz olarak düşündüğünüz şeylerin çoğu aslında bu "zihniyetten" kaynaklanır. Potansiyelinizi gerçekleştirmenizi
engelleyen şeylerin çoğu da bundan kaynaklanır.
Resilience can be defined as “good outcomes in spite of serious threats to adaptation or development” (Masten, 2001,p. 228)
Ben kendimi ömrüm boyu, neden bilemem, aslını bilemem, sebeplerini bilemem, bir kusur timsali olarak gördüm. Hep eksik ve kırıktım da tamamlanamazdım. Hep yarım ve yanlış anlamadaydım da doğrulamazdım.
