Set your mind to success (the true success)

1. Which mindset so you think you are a part of when it comes to "intelligence"?
I am a mix of both a fixed mindset and a growth mindset. When it comes to challenges I could be up for them but, it sadly depends the challenge and the mood I'm in (if I'm too stressed or frustrated chances are I'll give up). When it comes to obstacles i try finding other ways around it and if not I'll just confront it. I'll use what i know to get through it and if i don't have all that is needed I'll try asking for help although i don't really like to. I always try to do my best but, when i don't see results quickly i start losing hope. I really hate asking questions and giving my opinion because i don't like people saying I'm wrong because then i feel pretty stupid. Criticism I don't see as an insult i see it a downer. When it comes to the success of others i can be pretty envious but, then again i let them have their moment. The success of others also encourages me to do better sort of like a friendly competition
2.How has this mindset helped or hurt you in math?
Well because i like math i don't really think its hurt me. Yeah there are times when one problem takes like a half page to do and that can really frustrate but, in the end i get over it. Or sometimes when you do a silly mistakes like confuse a + for a - then you have to see where it is that you did your mistake and then do the problem all over again.
3.What is your reaction to finding out that the brain is just like a big muscle that can be trained?
It useful to know because now you won't go saying your stupid and can't do anything about it. You need to just keep trying, don't give up and see the positive outcomes of your hard work and effort.
4.How do you see this new piece of information affecting your future?
Well now i know that the more challenges i take, the more obstacles i try to confront the stronger my brain will become. All challenges will harvest to an improvement of my minds conditions, all i got to do is try my best and not give up. I also got to learn how ask questions and take opinions to succeed success.
