  1. Have you heard of Carol Dweck and/or the growth mindset before? How did you learn about it?
  2. How do you see yourself on the spectrum of growth-fixed mindset in your schoolwork? what about other aspects of your life? (for example, if you are an athlete, can you relate to this from a sports perspective? music? travelling? cooking?)

   I was surprised when I watched the first part of the talk about "Growth Mindset" by Carol Dweck because she said that grading your work as "Not yet" instead of a low grade number is fantastic. I couldn't get the idea at first since I've never really thought about it too much like in this context. I usually try to work hard on my next project taking into consideration my grades no matter how low they are.

However, after listening to her talk it made me reflect on the way I confront my grades and my attitude towards them. It made me realize how sometimes instead of understanding the reason of my reading, I move on and try again on my next assignment instead of really understanding my mistakes and wanting to learn from my grades. I think that facing the results of my work and wanting to learn from them is a skill that I haven't mastered yet and that this talk, "Growth Mindset" made me think that I should think positively about my low grades and learn from it.

Yes. Sometimes I hesitate because I am scared to face it. But also, there are some times that I can't avoid it such as during sports matches( badminton or volleyball). I am very competitive during all my matches and I guess this is where I can say that my growth mindset is good because I never give up and I always try to find ways and techniques in order to win which really works most of the time. That is why whenever I lost, I would always tell myself that it's okay to lose, at least I learned something during that time and it could give me motivation to practice more and be better.

It's just like what Carol Dweck said, "Make challenges the new comfort zone".

I also attached some images I found on Pinterest that could summarize what I've learned from the talk. Hopefully you like this blog! 

See you next time!👋

Twitter List!

Lee jong Suk giving you flowerrrsss Hi guys! How are you doing? I tried to create a List on Twitter. Link to an external site I have never created a Twitter List before so it is a new experience. I also think that this will be useful to me especially in the future as I want to explore more about animators and designers and learn from them. I also think that creating a list of specific topics would help you to find them easily and it is more organized.

Unity Tutorial 04

This week's tutorial lesson was very straightforward and easy to follow. I also did not have any problem with the Unity tutorial videos and the software this time which I am really glad about. I learned how to apply codes that can destroy the objects when the collision is detected. I also know how to add the "Game Over" message in coding if the farmer missed feeding one of the animals. The tutorial lesson also taught us how to spawn the animals at timed intervals so that the animals will appear randomly on the game. Here are the things that I learned for this week's Unity tutorial: Lesson 2.4 New functionality: Animals are spawned on timed interval and walk down on the screen and the animal gets past the player without getting fed, there's a "Game Over" trigger massage at the left bottom of the screen. When the projectile and animal collide, objects are removed right away. New Concepts/Skills: Create custom methods/functions InvokeRepeating() to repeat c...

Feedback Stretegies

  Feedforward The first article that I read is called "Try Feedforward Instead of Feedback" by Marshall Goldsmith. He talks about how feedforward is more helpful than getting feedback. I learn that getting a feedback can have a negative effect to the person who is receiving it because they tend to get personal on their suggestions which some people cannot take. This is when Feedforward enters. Feedforwards is all about people listening to suggestions for the future then learn and help as much as they can. There are also eleven reasons to try Feedforward, but I will be only addressing some of them that I find personally works. 1. We can change the future. We can't change the past. Feedforward helps people focus on a positive future and not a failed past. This means that people who use feedforward does not concentrate on the mistakes of what the other person have, instead they give them advices on how to improve their work better for the future. I also think that giving peo...
