So I admit, I was so tired on Thursday and Friday and even Saturday morning that I forgot to blog after class. I am now understanding why a teacher friend I know is always taking naps! I see that in my future.
Did you read about yourself or someone you know in the Mindset article? I certainly did and after all the self-help and psychology related things I have read, nothing has impacted me quite like this article. I was so moved and so wanting to read more that I actually ordered the whole book. I look forward to reading more.
It is great to know (I always believed) that change is possible. While we can't change others we certainly can change ourselves and hopefully influence the children in our lives and there will be many of them. While the article reinforced what I already believed in, it also made me sad for some aspects others in my life are forced to live with on a daily basis. But with continued positive reinforcement, I pray the growth mindset can override the fixed mindset.
