Week 8 Growth Mindset

Sometimes I definitely like staying in my comfort zone and doing things that I know and am okay with doing. Other times I push myself to try new things even though it may be hard or something that I just do not feel comfortable doing. I am not story on this neither am I weak, I feel like I'm always floating through the middle on this subject. Just last week we went to this exotic animal zoo place and you had to keep the camel food in between your lips and the camel comes and takes it out of there. I was most definitely scared and uncomfortable with doing that but I decided to just bear through it and it was fun. I'm glad I tried something new. This is just an example of how this applies to my life and it doesn't always mean for fun, you can do this in your classes or even just taking a difficult course that you are interested in.

Growth Mindset

I heard about Carol Dweck and the concept of growth mindset last semester in the Epics of India class. I think that it is a good idea or mindset to have. If you make a mistake, then learn from it and figure out what you did wrong. Instead of giving up try to make it better next time and learn instead of forgetting about it. If you do not learn from your mistakes then you are probably going to continue making them again and again since you never got anything out of them during the first round. I don’t really have any goals other than to learn things from all my classes so I get something out of all of them.
