Growth Mindset

Through her TED Talk, I got to know about Carol Dweck and her idea of growth mindset. I like that she said "we can praise wisely, not praising intelligence or talent." I think that really helps a person, especially if they're already feeling low about their grade or their progress in a class or anything that is important to them. Instead of discouraging them, we should help encourage them to move forward. I think sometimes I am like that too. I'm not usually the type that needs approval or appraisal for everything I do, but sometimes if I did do something big or extraordinary, I like when someone will point it out and give me attention for it. Out of all of the growth mindset challenges, my favorite is the cat randomizer! I absolutely love memes and I think I can sit around looking for cat memes for a good few minutes.
