At some point in your life you will fail; you will attempt some sort of task or assignment and the result will be the opposite of what you are wanting. Let's say you failed a quiz in school, you come home and get your allowance revoked for not completing your chores and when you talk to your best friend later that day they don’t seem too interested in your struggles. Now from here there are two groups of people: fixed mindset or growth mindset.

A fixed mindset would asses these struggles and go into a breakdown. They would probably lash out at their parents and siblings, hangout in their room with headphones on isolating themselves, possibly spend the rest of the day sulking and thinking to themselves poor me; in result putting themselves further back.

A growth mindset would look at these struggles and try harder. They would take responsibility for their poor grades and spend more time studying next time or try to study in another method. They would realize that they lost their allowance because they didn't do what needed to be done and schedule more time next time for their chores to make sure they completed them. They would think about their best friend, maybe they had an even worse day then themselves.

We are all made different and have different tendencies when we approach situations like these but ultimately we can can choose which path we follow and how we want to view these failures. Consider how these struggles were not critical issues in which they can not be fixed. It was one quiz, you will have more quizzes and there will be plenty of opportunity to boost your overall grade. You lost your allowance once, you again will have many more chores and chances to earn your allowance. So your best friend responded poorly in one situation, you can communicate with them and fix the issue that might have shown itself in this situation.

You have the choice to look at failure and learn from it. You can then take this knowledge and get better and smarter. This knowledge is invaluable and often is able to teach you more than succeeding. When you succeed or pass a test, you did most of the test accurately and in most cases, you don't even know what you got wrong. On the other hand, when you fail, it is much easier to see what you did poorly on and, if you have a growth mindset, you can then learn and grow in those aspects and end up better for it.
