Growth Mindset: Quotes

This week for extra credit I decided to try my hand at one of the Growth Mindset tasks.

Quote 1

THE DECISION TO TRY

"I often fall into the trap of saying good job, awesome when reviewing people's work. It used to be a game in high school to see who could critique "you put the wrong date" so that we could have our one correction out of the way. I definitely will work on being more specific with feedback, as I know how much I dislike non-specific feedback."

I picked this quote from the list as I love most feedback I get, positive and negative. The kind of feedback I do not like though is the "good job" and "awesome" or what I hear a lot is "oh yeah, that looks grand". I love to hear constructive criticism, giving me ideas of how I can improve my work.

Quote 2

WHY NOT?

"The way I would like to use "Why Not?" is in the sense of saying yes. Why not make time to see your friends? Why not make a random trip? Why not do something different than the usual routine? I think it is important for us to not get too focused on ourselves but live life with others. It is a lot more fun and if you are actually engaged with people you'll learn more about yourself along the way."

I like this quote because it reminds me of the movie 'Yes Man'. I wholeheartedly believe that it is good for everyone to say yes or "Why Not?" to try different things because it can lead you down different paths and create opportunities that never would arise otherwise.
