Having the right Mindset!

After reading the book Mindset by Carol S. Dweck I came to the conclusion that I agree 100% with what she is saying. The authors two main ideas is that you either have a fixed mindset or a growth mindset. I think that is very true because as as you progress in life you realize what mindset you have. For me, I believe I have a growth mindset because I like to learn about new things and I always practice what I'm bad at so I can become better. This book reminded me of the 10,000 hours we talked about in class because they both relate to the effort one puts in. For example, the person with a fixed mindset tells themselves that their natural talents cannot be improved. While on the other hand the person with a growth mindset, although may have talent, goes on and practices to make them even better. The growth mindset relates to the 10,000 hours because it shows that you need time and effort to master a skill. I reality the person with a fixed mindset fears failure. For example, the fixed mindset person would rather do something and be good at it rather than do something he's not good at and fail. To me, that is the wrong way to go in life because you will never learn from your mistakes. I believe I'm in a growth mindset now because I always challenge myself to new obstacles and if I fail, I take that failure and use it as motivation to be successful in my next try. I believe that everyone should try to be a growth mindset person because it will make you feel better about your self and make the world a better place
