Growth Mindset

Growth Mindset


Today I learned about a female called 'Carol Dweck'. I've never heard of her before today, but I am glad I have heard of her now. I listened to her TED Talk on growth mindset. I've never really thought into growth mindset before. After looking into it more in detail, I have realised that I also tend to avoid difficult situations or problems that I feel like I wouldn't be able to achieve without even challenging them. I don't normally enjoy listening to TED Talks because I tend to get bored of what the speaker is talking about but for a change I really enjoyed listening to Carol talk about growth mindset. She put things into a different perspective than I've ever thought about myself.

Personally, after listening and learning more about growth mindset, the more I realised I seem to be pushed into the fixed mindset more than the growth mindset. I realised that if I was faced with a challenge that was even a tiny bit out of my comfort zone, I'd be hesitant to even think about overcoming it. I think Carol has helped me over come little fears in my head that make me think I won't be able to do something because I might not find it easy or if it's something I've never tried before. I will be very much interested in learning more about growth mindset and whats the best ways to face challenges. Personally, If I hear presentation involved or talking in front of the class, I'd think straight away about how I DO NOT want to do that. I would like to overcome that mindset and be able to just get on with it fine.

This image I found on twitter stood out to me the most. It stood out the most because it is telling you that whatever you put your brain towards with the right mindset can make you achieve anything, and that you wont get success if you don't put work and dedication into it

This is an image of a quote by one of the greatest footballers of all time,Pele, said. 

Overall, I am really intrigued about learning more about growth mindset and look forward to discovering more about it. Thanks for reading hope you enjoyed :-)

Who Is Aaron Hogan? My name is Aaron Hogan. I was born on the 1st of March,2000, which makes me 19 years old. I live in Clonsilla in Dublin 15. I went to primary school in St.Mochtas and went to secondary school in Castleknock Community College. I am currently in ITB in Blanchardstown studying Creative Digital Media, I am in year 2. I really enjoy the course and have found out new skills that i never thought I'd be able to do. First year was enjoyable and I made a good few new friends. My favourite module was Web Development as I found it interesting how much stuff goes on behind closed doors to make a website, and i also loved the feeling when you created your own website. Over the summer, I went to Portugal with my group of friends. It was the best holiday ever! Nothing better than being in the sun with your mates having a laugh and a few drinks around the pool.  I also went to a few festivals. The first one I went to was Longitude in Marley Park. I thought it was so goo

Prototype This week I have thought more about my game. I've decided off many people suggestion it that I should include a time limit in my game to make it more fun and exciting for the player when their collecting the items. I felt like I was getting better with Unity when following the tutorials but when I try to start my game off by scratch, I felt like I was kind of lost about where I should even start. I spent a good while trying to get my character to look like how I want him too but I found it difficult. Over this week , I will like to have got everything sorted but I think I need a lot of time during this week to get all my items and character and setting sorted and ready to go. I have a picture of the items and obstacles I want to include into my game: An image of the items/character/obstacles I want to make on unity. I will work on my Unity extra hard this week to make sure I get everything I need done and I will add my progress into my blogs straight away.
