Growth Mindset: Everybody Makes Mistakes

-
These are two of my favorite quotes I just saw on the Growth Mindset Padlet.

Cheers to Mistakes

"This reminds me to not worry about the mistakes I made, currently make and will make in the future, because each mistake is worthy of celebration as it is a stepping stone towards success."

I love this quote because I feel like I have made many mistakes in this past year, whether it is regarding my choice to switch from one career choice to another or about just smaller, everyday thing. I always make a mistake that I think about for a little much longer than necessary and I think I really need to stop because I don't like the feeling of being hung up on something. I need to learn to not take it to heart easily and take it in stride.

KEEP MOVING FORWARD.

"It sounds simple, but sometimes it's more difficult than you would think. When I fail I should keep moving forward and not dwell on the failure. When you dwell on your failures you aren't learning how to move forward from them! So let them go, and move on!"

This quote basically bounces off the first one. I need to keep moving forward and not dwell on what could have been or "what could I have done better."

Learn from your mistakes. Source: Ask Ideas.

Hello Everyone! My name is Shivani Patel. This is my second time taking a class with Laura Gibbs. I took the Indian Epics class last fall and I loved it so I am excited to take this Myth and Folklore class this semester. I am from Clinton, OK but I'm happy to say that my family left the small town life behind and moved to Oklahoma City this summer. So I guess I can officially say I'm from OKC now. I was born in India but moved here with my family to the United State when I was about five years old. I am a 5th year senior Psychology major with a minor in Sociology. I'm graduating this December! (Whoop whoop!) If you had read my introduction post from last fall, it would say pre-PA as well, but sometimes you hit a bump in the road and your plan changes just like mine did. Now, I'm going for Psychology and currently in the process of applying to grad schools. My goal is to be a Clinical Psychologist so I know that's going to take a lot of work. Being a Psycho

Week 9 Story: Anansi the... wise?

My name is Kweku Tsin, and my father is Anansi. People call him Father Anansi because he has all the wisdom in the world. For this very reason, people come to him to ask for help with their problems. I believe my Father is a smart man, but he also lets it get to his head sometimes. I watched from the side as he talk to some people. I find it fascinating that he always knows what's the best solution. Usually he's always calm and collected, but today he seems troubled. The more I watched him, the more I realized he was getting mad.  Next thing I knew, Father had gotten up and stormed off from the room. "Oh no. He seems really mad." I followed him to see what was wrong. When I got to his room, I saw him marching around, muttering something to himself.  "Fools. How dare they talk about me like that. The audacity!" exclaimed Father.  "Father, what is wrong? What happened?" I asked him. However, instead of answering my question he just w
