Growth Mindset in Mathematics

The idea that math educators should focus on effort rather than on results—that failure is part of the success equation, because a set of false starts, failures, and frustrations are often necessary or unavoidable before someone could experience some degree of mathematical progress or achievement.
To fail is no shame, but failure to try again often is. A growth mindset in mathematics is to try or fail again, while failing better or faster each time.

The Threes Mindset

The philosophy, or “mindset”, that implies for an individual to “keep shooting”. This can be interpreted in life as to never give up and keep “shooting” your shots. This philosophy is expressed through the popular “threes” hand motion held up my athletes such as Carmelo Anthony, Odell Beckham Jr, Steph Curry, and others.
Athletes should have The Threes Mindset to succeed.

Makerspace Mindset

The attitude of an arrogant, dilettante craftsman - often a perpetual one.

Those who embody the Makerspace Mindset have little to no skills or abilities in the allied arts or trades, but believe they do, while producing only crude toys or prototypes. Computer-aided tools do most if not all of the work.

They often make things that are marginally functional, sloppy, and infantile, and are limited by near-absolute reliance on self-operating tools to produce the result (CAD/CAM, 3D printers, laser cutters, CNC machining on "prosumer" tools, etc.). Many cannot even draw a sketch without the aid of a computer, and the computer may do most of the work.

Those with the Makerspace Mindset often have a very high opinion of their ideas and their skills, in spite of being essentially unable to function in the absence of a computer-aided environment.
"He's basically useless with his hands, but he thinks he's a craftsman; he has that "makerspace mindset", you know. Without CNC tools, he couldn't make a damn thing."

Mindset of an Animal

Either the person being feral or having a fearful mindset that you want to trust someone but you can't worried about the malicious outcome of someone lending a hand.
Example one: The way he\she\it lives looks unkept, such savagery he\she\it has a mindset of an animal.
Example two: The way this person looks and staring me down like I'm someone not trustworthy, even after helping the person doesn't look at ease maybe cornered like he/she/it has a mindset of an animal.
Won't even trust me if that person wants to...
