Only you can hoose what you fail and what you dont

As I continue to read the mindset book failure continues to stay around within the reading. It is involved with both mindsets fixed and growth mindset and how it works with in each of them. The difference between the two is with growth mindset if you fail you’re more likely to keep trying and not give up. With fixed mindset you’re usually the one to stop trying and face the fact you just can’t do it like a dead end for example. For me I believe I have both mindsets depending on what the situation is. An example would be football and kicking. Kicking is not easy it might look it but it’s not. I have had many off days and have missed quite a few kicks and had a few bad kicks in my day but it has yet to stop me. Having bad days with kicking is what motivates me to do better and basically ignites a little man in my mind saying “hey this is a test to see if you can overcome this and get better from it”. Believe it or not it works for football and bad day for me isn’t a good thing but it helps me realize that there’s always room to get better and never give up. This is the growth mind set. An example of me also having the fixed mind set would be during a math problem. Math is very difficult for me I tend to give up a lot when I don’t understand something which is a very bad trait. During home work when there’s a problem I don’t understand I tend to just give up and face the fact I’ll never be able to do it. I do this sometimes even with entire assignments which is very bad because it affects my grade. It’s weird because as much as I don’t want to skip it and try to accomplish it, it’s almost as if my brain just shuts down and tells me to just stop you have no chance. So in my case of failure I think I carry both mindsets.
