What direction you heading  

                    Reading the book Mindset by Carol S. for my INQ class I learned the different mindset we have. Fix mindset and growth mindset the different between the two I came with the conclusion that we all have a little of both or one of the mindset work better for us more. The first one is fix mindset belief that our abilities are set in stone/ unchanging, talent whose hand and hand with creating success. Growth mindset is another set, belief that you basic qualities are capable of growth through effort and you have to develop your traits and skills. Both of the mindset adds up to the 10,000 hour we talked about in class because it relate to how much effort one puts in. the 10,000 theory is the theory that if a person put that much hours of hard work and practice you will be an expert in your field of study. Growth mindset is being able to work hard and putting a lot of effort you will be successful. The theory would not work for the fix mindset because it doesn’t avoid failure by not trying at all. And don’t make room for people to improve on the area that need to. You either have the capability or you don’t. it also have to do with how you was raise as well. If the people around you always anchorage you to do your best without giving up when things goes wrong your mindset would change. I think that I have a fix mindset working my way to a growth mindset. I think that you have the talent for you to be good at something. I think you are capable to teach yourself to change your mind set on something’s. I’m teaching myself to have a growth mindset where I don’t need to avoid failure by not trying. Where when I’m not good at something i practice to improve at it. There a lot of area that I need to work in if I want to change my mindset. I’m not saying that I didn’t put a lot of hard work to where I am today but I need to try harder. I want to try working harder on the person I want to become
