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.

Week 2 Story: The Ghost Who Wrestled with a Man

Image
The Ghost Who Wrestled with a Man A long time ago, there was a ghost that walked the streets of a small town. He came to the edge of the town and laid down to rest. He started a fire and covered himself with a blanket. Hearing some twigs breaking, he ripped a hole in the blanket and peeped out to see what was coming. A man walked up  to the laying ghost and felt the ghost’s leg to see if he was real. After touching his leg, the man took a knife and tried to cut the ghost’s leg off. Before he could the ghost jumped up and screamed “What are you doing?” Frightening him, the man took off running back into the town. The next day, after a long walk along the town, the ghost again found a spot to make a fire and lay down to rest. He covered himself with the blanket and heard a man singing. With the voice getting louder, the man peeped out of the hole and saw a man walking Ghost Google Image up. The man asked the ghost “Wake up and give me some food.” The ghost gave the man some berries
