Mindset =)

1. I can be put under both Growth and Fixed mindset but if I had to choose one that fits me more, then it will be Fixed mindset.

I see challenges and obstacle as a way to improve my knowledge. Even if I don't get the right answer or do something the right way, I at least learned something: a way not to do it.

2. These mindsets have both helped and hurt me in math.

It has helped me by learning from my mistakes and going through with challenges.

It has hurt me when I don't want to use a lot of effort for just one problem.

3. Knowing that the brain is a muscle that can be trained is interesting. People should work out their brain as much as possible.

They should also not get discouraged when they think that they are not getting smarter.
Its like real exercise, you don't get buff overnight. It takes time.


4. I see this affecting my future as I can go either down the good path or the bad path.

The good path is achieving my full potential and not giving up when things looks impossible.

The bad path is not trying to solve my problems, not taking things seriously, or afraid to fail.

I do believe I can go down the good path and do the best I can do. Life is not meant to thrown away but to live and learn.
