  I believe a growth mindset from the research I’ve done is a very good thing to have not only for life and from a long age but especially to have in studies and future careers. Instead of falling and believing a task can only be succeeded or failed in, I do believe it is better to have a middle ground where you can try and you can simply “not be there yet”. I like to think I have had this mindset for a long time, from a very young age and I like to believe it has helped me a lot dealing with stress throughout my life, I’m fact I’ve never really thought about it until now, I simply thought when I failed things I simply didn’t stress over it as much as others. I am very happy to be able to learn about this particular mindset as described by Carol Dweck throughout the year and learn more about me in the meantime!
