I Am Not Born To Just Become

I Decided To Praise My Son Not When He Succeeded At Things He Was Already Good At, But When He Persevered With Things That He Found Difficult. I Stressed To Him That By Struggling, Your Brain Grows. Between The Deep Body Of Research On The Field Of Learning Mindsets And This Personal Experience With My Son, I Am More Convinced Than Ever That Mindsets Toward Learning Could Matter More Than Anything Else We Teach.

Have You Seen A Duck Gliding Smoothly On Water? Does It Ever Look Like It Is Paddling Furiously Underneath The Surface? I Don't Have To Show That I Am Working Very Hard.

I Don't Go Out Anywhere. I Don't Go To Nightclubs, So Meeting Somebody In The Nightclub Is Out Of Question.

I Am More Convinced Than Ever That Mindsets Toward Learning Could Matter More Than Anything Else We Teach.

If You Have An Idea That Seems Worth Doing, Don't Wait To Hire Other People And Get Funding And All Those Things. Just Start Doing It, Wait To See What Happens, And Then Iterate On That.
