Katey Roberts forwarded me this Tough Love post from Diary of a Hedge Fund Manager... I'd been wanting to write on Dweck's insights and research, which is very useful to understand if you deal with people. Fortunately this blogger has already taken a crack, and it's pretty good. Enjoy. (Thanks Katey!)
Ben, I enjoy your posts, it looks like you put a lot of effort into the site. Keep striving.

Wow - how true this is, at least in my own life. When I get praise there's that temptation for pride. Humility that recognizes my true state walks out the door.
I like that he offers the alternative of praising or encouraging the process (not the result).
