2 SHORT PASSAGES

It might take some struggle and some failure, but they understand
that with effort and perseverance, they can succeed.
fixed Minset
A fixed mindset is a belief system that suggests that a person has a
predetermined amount of intelligence, skills, or talents.
For those students who are advanced learners, they can become
consumed with “looking smart” at all costs. They may have coasted
through school without really putting forth much effort, yet they are
often praised for their good grades and strong skills. Usually,
advanced learners with a fixed mindset will start avoiding situations
where he/she may fail.
