Here's a takeaway message from that article:<br />
<br />

<b>Mistakes provide the next lesson.</b></div>
<br />
Looking for an image to use, I remembered a great one that <a href="http://cheezburger.com/8538711040">Magistra Susan</a> had found at <a href="http://builder.cheezburger.com/builder#step2_8524636928,https://i.chzbgr.com/imagestore/2015/6/30/0ef1ad50-76bb-45c8-b80f-9c8f202d6492.jpg">Cheezburger</a>. So, I made a poster with that one:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I really liked the Latin version that Susan had done, so I also animated that by adding an English translation; you can see more of her Latin growth mindset memes at her <a href="http://profile.cheezburger.com/digitalmagistra/">Cheezburger Board: Digital Magistra</a>:<br />

Sometimes you might be tempted to take the easy way, and sometimes you might even think that difficult IS impossible... but you should try to see what you can do: maybe difficult is not impossible after all!

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
If this is the first time you've heard the term "self-compassion," it's important to clarify it's not about believing you're perfect or being complacent. It's about treating yourself as a great coach would--with realistic, flexible expectations that encourage growth--but also with kindness and the understanding that <b><i>you're an imperfect human being who's programmed for learning as you go, </i></b>not a robot programmed for perfection.</blockquote>

This cat was inspired by an article about the critical voices you might hear inside your head: <b><i><a href="https://hbr.org/2016/12/silence-the-critical-voices-in-your-head">Silence the Critical Voices in Your Head</a></i></b> by Sabina Nawaz.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
There’s one debilitating behavior that most of us fall victim to with great regularity: listening to critical voices in our heads. Whether they originate from external criticism or our own fears and doubts, these negative voices tell us we’re not good enough, kind enough, or productive enough. Research shows that <b><i>echoing negative thoughts inside our heads </i></b>increases our chances of depression, isolates us from others, and inhibits us from pursuing goals.</blockquote>

Here's the context:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I heard a banking executive say, "Yeah, when I’m in a crunch. I have a deadline. Dwayne shows up." This is what Dwayne does, and how Dwayne makes me feel. This is how Dwayne effects people around me. Then the final step is talk to Dwayne. Get Dwayne on board with your growth-mind-set goals. Don’t try to get rid of Dwayne. Don’t disrespect him, but whatever you name your fixed-mind-set persona, say, "Thank you for your input." Or, "I appreciate your contribution, but why don’t we try it this way? Why don’t we take on that challenge?" There’s a setback, Dwayne comes rushing back, laughing at you. You say, "OK, that’s one way to look at it, but I think I learned something from that setback. <b>What if we try this other strategy?</b> Dwayne, you think you can bear with me on that?"</blockquote>

<div>
<br /></div>

Ritchie writes: "People who have high levels of self-efficacy also tend to exhibit a range of positive qualities. They are more likely to choose more challenging tasks, undertake strategic thinking, work harder, exhibit resilience, and attain higher outcomes. [...] Failure is less of a deterrent, and they use resources creatively and seek possible solutions before giving up. Overall they persist longer and achieve more."</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I’ve learned that great feedback creates a roadmap for students; it shows them how far they can go in the mastery of a subject or skill by outlining specific places for improvement or highlighting successful behaviors/techniques. Great feedback pushes students to achieve more and it’s specific in helping them do so.</blockquote>

Ritchie writes: "Zimmerman also differentiates naive and experienced learners, and stresses that less experienced learners tend to react to learning instead of preparing effectively through forethought. In the forethought stage, students use their existing knowledge and experience to form self-efficacy beliefs, making judgments about their capabilities for the tasks ahead."</div>

<br />
From the post: "Groupthink—a phenomenon where the desire for harmony among the group causes outside opinions to be suppressed. All of a sudden, dissenting thoughts become toxic and we begin to self-censor—losing our individual creativity, uniqueness, and independent thinking."<br />
<br />
Jim Hightower quote in the post: "The opposite of courage is not cowardice; it is conformity. Even a dead fish can go with the flow."<br />
<br />
Don't be afraid to be different!<br />
