①Everyone wants to be successful. We want good luck and grades, not mistakes. But not everyone can be successful. Still, everyone can study harder and become smarter. The most important thing is the mindset, the way of thinking. Generally, there are two kinds of mindsets—the fixed mindset and the growth mindset.
②People with a fixed mindset worry about grades very much. They care about how smart they look compared to other people. They often give up on difficult problems. They’re afraid of looking silly when they make mistakes.
③People with a growth mindset, however, care about learning, not grades. They work hard on difficult problems. They learn from their mistakes and find different ways to solve problems. They ask for help when they need it. Take babies for example. They are lovely and cute. In only two years, they learn to walk, talk and feed themselves. They do not worry about looking silly while they’re learning. When they make mistakes, they just try again. In this way, they learn many things successfully.
④In short, people with different mindsets have different ways of thinking and doing things. Which one do you choose?
