Failure = Mindset

After reading mindset it opened up eyes to the different mindset. Growth mindset is the belief that basic qualities are things you can cultivate through effort. Fixed mindset is belief that you have a fixed amount of ability or intelligence and cannot change that. I think I have a fixed mindset and a growth mindset. I am fixed mindset sometimes when learning new things if I know something I hate and refuse to learning something over and over again. Like for instances in college, I am taking an algebra class I hate sitting there learning what I learned in high school. I get annoyed and bored. I understand it is an easy A but it just still bothers me and feels like I am wasting my time. But I am more growth mindset to other things like I am willing to learn new things I love to take on a challenge. In the future I wish to be a pediatrician but my mother sees that as a hard thing to accomplish and says I should be a nurse. She’s having a fixed mindset and I am growth because I want to be a pediatrician. Failure is not an option to me. Failure comes into play with mindset. When you have a growth mindset you take responsibility to learn from failure and self improve. When you have a fixed mindset you take less responsibility for your failures. I always see things as if something failed you it helps you grow as a person to keep going. In the book mindset and failure comes into play with sports if you have a growth mindset you will have 10,000 hours of practice and when you fail you will keep going and fix what’s wrong to get better. When your fixed you usually have a natural ability and put less effort in something and when you fail you get discourage and wont try again.
