My mindset

I think I am sort of in between of a fixed and growth mindset. I usually take on any challenges that come my way but I don't really try to find any. For obstacles, I tend to try it out for a while but then give up after because it's too time consuming. Sometimes I come back to it and try it again but would rather do something more "entertaining". I don't see effort as useless but rather see it as a opportunity to show my potential. Kind of hard to do since I'm a lazy guy. Criticism... Typically, I dislike negative criticism because it discourages me. After a while, I get over it and use that criticism to motivate myself to try better and sometimes don't take the criticism into consideration. For the success of others, I guess I feel sort of threatened. For a guy that lives on competition, the success of others tends to make me want to surpass them more.

Well, I can come up with one thing that had hurt me in calculus. In the homework, if there is a problem that I can't seem to figure out (meaning that it taking me about 30 minutes and still couldn't find a way to solve it), I just leave the work that I've done trying to figure it out and go on to the next problem.

The brain as a muscle? I guess it sort of works. A headache from doing word problems is kind of like soreness after running 4 - 6 miles except that the soreness lasts longer than a headache.

I honestly don't see this new info affecting my future. I just see it as extra information.
