Growth Mindset: Sharing is Caring

My best friend is actually staying with me for the next two weeks because she is finishing classes at OCU and had to move out of her apartment early. She is moving back to Tulsa so she is in between places at the moment so this was the perfect opportunity to talk to someone about growth mindset. I think that everyone to some degree applies growth mindset but she had never heard of the exact term but definitely used some of the techniques before.

We talked about it because she is graduating and cannot find a job in the exact area she wants. This is frustrating, but from a growth mindset, the jobs she has been offered will give her invaluable work experience that will allow her to move to the area she wants in just a few years. It can be easy to get caught up in getting to do exactly what you want immediately out of school, but I think talking about growth mindset can show how taking steps in the right direction is still moving forward.

I am graduating in December and then I am going to nursing school. I want to go to a accelerated program for my BSN out of state, because I am afraid if I don’t leave now then I will never get out. I just decided to do nursing last August (hence the extra semester of undergrad to get my prereqs in) and so I am a little late to that game. I have always k...

I was minding my own business one day, as I always do, and then I heard the saddest noise. It was a girl crying so I followed the sound to the castle. There I found the most beautiful woman. She told me of the predicament she found herself in. It seems that there was a misunderstanding between her and her mother.             It all began with a slip of a few words, which led her to believe she could eat the five pies her mother had just baked. It was a simple confusion, but of course, her mother was angry. To taunt her about the mistake she began to sing a song about it, but it also so happen that the king was walking by that day and heard the mother’s song. The mother was embarrassed that her daughter had been so thoughtless and ate all five pies, so when asked about the song, the mother said that it was about her daughter sewing five gold strings. The king was so impressed that he married the mother on the condit...
