Demonstrating a fixed mindset can be unhealthy while it also can help your mind to understand what a roadblock is, it can teach you when you have to stop but overall people try to avoid falling into this. The time I demonstrated this mindset was when I was playing tennis, although I was in a couple of competitions eventually the sport got boring and I lost the enjoyment in the sport, so I decided to stop because I knew that I couldn’t do any better.
Having a growth mindset is the preferred mindset have in life situations because it teaches you how to learn from failure and expand your comfort zones, when I showed this was when I had to write an entire script for our class play, in the beginning, I was stuck and had no ideas but still, I persevered and eventually got it done and it was amazing. I also got a reward after. Having a Growth mindset is basically being able to use a skill that is highly popularized called flearning, this basically means that you have a skill to take a failure and learn from it. So the lesson here to learn is that having a growth mindset is better than having a fixed one.
