Interesting.

Yesterday in class we were discussing the concepts of a fixed mindset and a growth mindset. I don't agree with fixed mindset being the bad side in this argument. I'm pretty sure there are people that have gotten far with what they already know. Having a fixed mindset is being confident in the knowledge you already have and not needing to expand. I'm content with everything because I'm pretty lazy, my satisfactory is at least a C or higher. I'm probably pretty stubborn at times because I hate when things get complicated when I'm just grasping on what we just learned! So I'd rather stay in my comfort zone, and get good grades rather than always wanting to go deeper into learning. Learning is what we have to do, to get far that is, But why not use what you already got and you'd probably be half way there already. So far this book is fairly interested because I never even though there was names of the concepts of thinking we have. Sure there's pessimism and optimistic but I haven't heard of a fixed mindset or a growth one, and I took psychology. Everyone can't be defined by a word though because some people believe they are a combination of the both, some weird nonexistent middle ground. There is a possibility that it is kind of a mix because some people can have a fixed mindset on certain topics and a growth one on others. For example, I have a fixed mindset for Math. My worst subject, even though people say I'm kind of good at it. I give up rather easily when it comes to math because it is so confusing and what is the point of math? Will it help me solve the final equation that will determine how to survive when the world ends?!?! NO. Well that was rather tangent. Anyways,This book will hopefully let me be more insightful.
