In a recent small group activity in Mrs. Johnson’s 9th-grade class, students came together to discuss how a growth mindset (思维模式) can greatly influence our life. Here are the opinions on developing a growth mindset shared by the students.
Steps | Opinions from Group Discussions |
Believe in Yourself | Start by believing yourself that you have the power to change your habits. Your habits are shaped by your beliefs and strengths. Use positive statements to welcome changes into your life and prepare your mind for a new way of thinking. |
Accept and Overcome Weaknesses | Whatever your weakness is, accept and explore different approaches (方法) to overcome it. Be kind to yourself and focus on finding solutions instead of being angry with yourself. If you have to get out of bed early in the morning, try setting the alarm earlier or preparing things in advance to make mornings easier. |
Welcome Challenges for Growth | Stepping out of your comfort zone (区)and taking on new challenges helps you improve your skills and broaden your knowledge and experiences. Whether it’s learning a new sports skill or making progress in your studies, look for challenges that push you to grow. Appreciate the unexpected challenges along the way. |
Work with Your Learning Styles | Find out how you learn best, as it will help you learn more effectively. Some learners need to see things to understand them, while others do better with listening or talking. Take your time to learn and look for excellence by practicing and repeating. Accept applying what you learn, even if you make mistakes, as they help you become more skilled. |
Developing a growth mindset not only reduces worry but also brings happiness. By celebrating your achievements and enjoying the journey of growth and learning, you can create a satisfying and successful life.

Parents are the closest people to you in the world. But a lot of middle school students have a problem. They feel they are not as close to their parents as before. They even don’t think their parents are fair to them.
Some students complain that their parents often say a lot to them, but never listen to them. Some say their parents don’t allow them to play computer games when other people are doing it. Others say when they are making phone calls to friends, their parents like to ask if they’re speaking to a boy or a girl. These make them very unhappy. Some students even decide to leave home because they’re afraid to tell their parents when they have done something wrong, particularly(尤其) when they do badly in exams. Then they usually think running away is the only choice. But they don’t know running away may bring them some more problems. Problems are parts of life. Here are some advice for you to solve your problems.
◆Find a good chance to talk with your parents. Don’t be afraid to tell them your feelings.
◆Keep a diary to help you understand more about yourself and your feelings.
◆Get help from others like good friends or teachers.

For the first time, Zhang Shengyu, a student from Laiyang Middle School in Shandong, didn't ask her mother to buy her a new schoolbag or any new pens for the beginning of the school term. "My old schoolbag can still be used, so there is no need to buy a new one," Zhang said, "I've decided to be thrifty from now on."
As the center of the family's attention, many of the one-child generation (一代人) do not know about the hardships of life. They sometimes have no idea of the value of things. Many students would throw away pens and erasers that haven't been used up and buy new ones. Some like to compete with each other to see whose clothes and school things are more expensive.
On its website in January, the Ministry of Education called on students to form good habits such as working hard, being helpful and thrifty, to avoid wasting food and to pay more attention to study and others.
Many schools consider teaching the value of money to be an important lesson and encourage their students to be thrifty.
Students at No. 44 Middle School of Shijiazhuang, Hebei planted many fruit trees in their school. Through taking care of the trees, the students learned how to value things.
At Tie Yi Middle School in Xi'an, students organized a group to collect waste and reuse them. "What we students do are small things, but I think with everyone's work, we can make a difference," said Li Dongdong, 16, a student from the group.
