Mindset

1. Fixed Mindset and Growth Mindset. I believe that I am part of the Growth Mindset but I may sometimes express a Fixed Mindset in times of great stress. I think that I am of this mindset because I am able to learn well from criticism, I see effort as something positive, and I find inspiration in the success of others. I am not a person who takes things personally when they should not be taken personally. Whenever I receive critiques from classmates or teammates, I automatically gather their advice and I put it to good use. As for effort, I understand that one needs to put effort in order to achieve better things. Also, I do not overcome with jealousy if someone is smarter than I am. Instead, I look into more ways that I can improve my thinking. I have a strong belief that a person can do anything they set their mind to do. As long as I have goals, I know that I will get far in life.
2. The Growth Mindset has helped me in math because it prevented me from dropping the class. With this mindset I was able to take advice from classmates and make the decision to stay in the class.
   
3. It's a relief to hear that because it would be dreadful if intelligence could not be changed. I would probably cry if it were the other way around.
   
4. I think that as long as I remember the two mindsets and distinguish the good from the bad, good things will happen and I will be successful.
