Growth Mindset

Growth Mindset



To me growth mindset it is something when you turn the negative to the positive, here's an example:

Fixed Mindset: I have the lowest score in my test last week
Growth Mindset: I must keep practising to improve

When I am facing new challenges I give it a go and learning the mistakes I have made to improve my learning.

My example of when I had a fixed mindset:
Giving up easily
Facing the negative side
Not Willing to try

How I overcome it:
Talked to a friend or teacher
Learning the mistakes I have done
Practice

What could help you go towards a fixed mindset to a growth mindset:
Stay positive to your self
Keep Trying 
Learn new things
Face something new in life
