Growth Mindset: Acronym

I
Don't
Even
Assume

I haven't done an acronym in a few weeks, so I thought I'd do one.  My acronym of "idea" reads "I don't even assume".  I think that's what an idea should have.  We're so quick to dismiss ideas because we assume the worst of them.  However, dismissing ideas doesn't allow us to grow.  It only hinders us and lowers our field of vision.

Learning Challenge: Happiness Jar part 2

Image
Last week, I started the "Happiness Jar" learning challenge.  I decided to write down things that made me happy onto the notes on my phone.  It was pretty hard to do, since this season of the semester is very busy for everyone, and it does indeed get very stressful.  However, the few things that I wrote down made me more thankful for the good things that happened to me.  I'm not sure if I'm the only one who experiences this, but I tend to be more happy about something if I'm concretely thankful for it.  The Happiness Jar reminds me to be more thankful of my experiences. I have more happiness whenever I am thankful .

Growth Mindset: Motto

Always as a child, I've been conditioned to always make straight A's because it will "give me a good job".  Growing up, I didn't pay too much attention to making good grades, but now, I see that my parents just wanted the best for my future.  I read stories of people in poverty who struggle each and every day wondering how they're going to pay off the house or even feed their own family, and that really sucks and is unfortunate.  I definitely never want to have to put my family in that situation.  So while the meme is talking about money, it really has a deeper meaning.  Money isn't always greeding to have.  As long as you don't base your life around money, money is an amazing tool to have.  In my case, I view money to take care of my family and make sure that my family is secure.  In order to do that, I have to do well in school, and so that is a big inspiration for me to do well.
