The power of yet.
專注過程，而不是結果。
I heard about a high school in Chicago where students had to pass a certain number of courses to graduate,and if they didn't pass a course, they got the grade Not Yet.
我聽說，在芝加哥有一所高中，那兒的學生畢業前要通過一系列課程，如果某一門課沒有通過， 成績就是暫未通過。
And I thought that was fantastic,because if you get a failing grade, you think, I'm nothing, I'm nowhere.
我想，這真是個絕妙的做法，因為，如果你某門課的成績不及格， 你會想，我什么都不是，我什么都沒有學到。
But if you get the grade Not Yet you understand that you're on a learning curve.
但如果你的成績是暫未通過，你會明白，學習的步伐并沒有停下，
It gives you a path into the future.
你還需逐步向前，爭取未來。
Not Yet also gave me insight into a critical event early in my career,a real turning point.
暫未通過也讓我聯想起一件尤為重要的 發生在我職業生涯初期的事情，這件事對我而言是一個轉折點。
I wanted to see how children coped with challenge and difficulty,so I gave 10-year-olds problems that were slightly too hard for them.
當時，我想探究孩子是如何應對挑戰和困難的，因此，我讓一些10歲大的孩子嘗試解決一些對于他們而言 稍稍偏難的問題。
Some of them reacted in a shockingly positive way.
一些孩子積極應對的方式讓我感到震驚。
They said things like, I love a challenge,or, You know, I was hoping this would be informative.
他們會這樣說，我喜歡挑戰，或說，你知道的，我希望能有所獲。
They understood that their abilities could be developed.
這些孩子明白，他們的能力是可以提升的。
They had what I call a growth mindset.
他們有我所說的成長型思維模式。
But other students felt it was tragic, catastrophic.
但另一些孩子覺得面對這些難題是不幸，宛如面對一場災難。
From their more fixed mindset perspective,their intelligence had been up for judgment and they failed.
從他們的固定型思維角度來看，他們的才智受到了評判， 而他們失敗了。
Instead of luxuriating in the power of yet,they were gripped in the tyranny of now.
他們不懂得享受學習的過程，而只盯住眼前的成與敗，
So what do they do next?
這些孩子們后面表現如何？
