For the first article I choose "A fixed mindset could be holding you back--here's how to change it". This article has its ups and downs to me! I like how it talks about how a fixed mindset can make you a brittle person and hold you back. Fixed mindsets hold people back and won't let you reach your full potential. However, I do believe that there are a few things that having a fixed mindset is okay to have. There has to be winners and losers in this world and when it comes to sports and games, losing makes you a better player. When it comes to doctors, working outside your scope of practice can cause someone their life.

In my other article I chose "A Simple 5-Second Habit to Rewire Your Harshly Self-Critical Brain". I like this article because it talks about taking things with a grain of salt. The body and mind is wired to beat ourselves up over little things to make us do better. In reality we should look at our mistakes and realize where we messed up so we don't do it again. This process is what makes us better. By doing little meditation we can be reminded to love and respect ourselves. By forgiving our own mistakes and making ourselves better, will only help us in the long run.

I like both of these articles because they talk about how we are fired to hate failure. But we shouldn't beat ourselves up over it. I think we should always strive  to do better and by not having a fixed mindset, we can do just that. Schools that help students do better will only make them stronger instead of punishing them when they fail.

The Boys Who Raced for a Girls Friendship  This story comes from The Crane and The Hummingbird by James Mooney. In the story a hummingbird and crane race around the world to marry a young woman. The crane beats the hummingbird but the woman doesn't want to marry an ugly bird. The original story can be found at  Link .  Link There once was a young girl who always played on the monkey bars on the playground. Her best friends were Joey and Mike and they loved to play with her. One day Joey asked the girl if he could be her best friend. She really did like Mike more but she wanted to be fair to her two friends. She told them that they could race all the way around the playground and the winner could be her best friend. She said the winner is the one who can be at the monkey bars first.  The boys agreed and got ready to run as fast as they could. Mike could run faster for short period of time and Joey could run a further distance without stopping. The girl put her han
