In order to optimistically view academics, it is important to have the correct mindset. The new book assigned for my academic achievement class discusses this task. When thinking of intelligence and the type of person you are, many people believe these do not chance, or are unchangeable. I, on the other hand, believe that it is very possible and necessary to change your intelligence or who you are. Intelligence is constantly changing, as learning something new is adding on, and increasing intelligence. Also, you can better yourself as a person in many ways. Believing that you can change yourself as a person and your mind is an optimistic and beneficial way of thinking. This mindset is necessary for growth.
With the importance of mindset comes the way you approach obstacles. Depending on the obstacle, there are many things I can do to get my mind off of the problem or complete the obstacle. I usually, whenever faced with a problem, try to finish whatever the task may be as soon as possible. If I put off what I need to do, I can procrastinate for a long time. In coping with an obstacle that I cannot simply complete, there are a couple things I may do. I like to talk to friends or family, or really just anyone I can speak to about what I am feeling. Sometimes I turn to work or fun when faced with a problem; I can just find something to do to get it off my mind for the time being. I may go for a run, or work on homework, or play some kind of game, even. I like to keep optimistic when face with obstacles, and complete them with my best ability.
