Growth Mindset: (EC) Sharing with others
I chose to complete the growth mindset challenge from the list
My main point I wanted to get across was we should continue to learn new things, challenge ourselves, and think 'not yet' rather than having a fixed mindset.
First I asked my friend if he had heard of the Growth Mindset, he said he had not.
Then I told him what it was, how 'not yet' and the way you keep your mindset can really change your life. Being in college, it is really important to not feel like you failed because college is not easy. I told my friend to have a growth mindset and think of 'not yet' rather than I can't do it. He said he was going to use the growth mindset not just in college but also in his life. He wanted to learn to do tricks on his skate board but he had fell many times trying to do the tricks so he stopped trying new ones and just sticked to what he knew. I told him how the video mentioned when we aren't trying new things are brain is not really being used, you are not growing or learning. He told me he was going to go back and continue to try new tricks with the mindset of not yet. I think it is very positive to live life like this. I also told him to try and share this with other people.

I am so glad to see this, Pranali: literally just this morning I was updating that list of growth mindset challenges. Thank you for sharing with someone else: you never know how far an idea might spread. :-)
