Failure is one step to Success

This week’s blog I have to talk about "failure". Failure can be seen as many different ways; like failing a quiz, not getting first place in a competition or even failing sending a text message. This is when the book "Mindset" takes into place. In this book it talks about fixed and growth mindset, which are two completely different things. It depends if you are either fixed or growth mindset by the way you perceive failure. Those who have a fixed mindset thinks that getting 2nd place in stead of 1st place is good for them because at least they did not get last place. For those who have a growth mindset and get 2nd place see this as a failure because this is what they worked hard for. In the book mindset the topic of failure was mentioned a lot. In my opinion there is no such thing as failure if you tried your best and deep inside you know that you did what you had to do. 

Ever since middle school my mom has always said" only A's and B's on a report card, no C's". If I ever got a C I would get grounded because a C was not passing in her eyes, and a C meant you didn't study as much as you should. Other parents may see this C as average or passing and is good for them. We all have our own opinions or views on what is Failure. In the book they talked a lot about athletes and how they failed once but that pushed them harder to get that first place. Failure can lead to success a lot of the times because it pushes us to be better or work harder and achieve what we want as long as we try.
