Learn from it!
Failure is emphasized very much in The Mindset. Failure is hard for people to deal with, no matter who you are. Everybody in life wants to be successful but unfortunately, it can't happen. Although you fail, it's the way you get back up when you do. There are two types of people that deal with failure, the people with a growth mindset, and people with a fixed mindset. The people with a growth mindset see failure very differently than a person with a fixed mindset. For example, the person with a growth mindset sees failure as an opportunity to exceed the next time he tries to do something. They will use failure as a lesson learned. They come back and finish what they started. On the other hand, a person with a fixed mindset would just quit after failure. After reading this book, I thought about myself. I always try different things in life and sometimes fail. I use this failure to strengthen myself and recognize what I did wrong for the next time. Whenever someone challenges me telling me I can't do something, I try a lot harder too achieve my goal because I want to prove myself. For me, failure is very hard because I'm very competitive in everything I do. I believe that failure also measures the determination in a person. When a person failures it should motivate hem to do better. For example, my freshman year of high school I did t make the soccer team, but I didn't quit and used the summer for more practice and I ended up making the team my sophomore year. There are many ways to prevent failure but it's very important to learn from it as well.
