Ages and Stages Second Half: How Mistakes Can Make You Smarter

I chose this article because it related to my view on failure.  Personally, when I am participating in a new activity, I fail at first and tell myself that it will only get better and it always does.  As the article states that there are two types of minds in people, often people use the negative view on making a mistake and pay more attention when attempting the activity.  People that use this strategy tend to only be worse at the activity compared to people that use the positive, non-panic method of coping to failure.
