Grit to Great You’re Stronger Than You ThinkSeta Wicaksana
“Grit, in a word, is stamina. But it’s not just stamina in your effort. It’s also stamina in your direction, stamina in your interests. If you are working on different things but all of them very hard, you’re not really going to get anywhere. You’ll never become an expert.”

8 Ways To Be More Confident With Perspective AssertiveWay
Perspective taking is an easy, fast, and super effective way to boost your confidence in a challenging situation or interaction.
Here are 8 perspective taking hacks for you!
But first let me share a story on how a fresh perspective can shift your self-confidence.
My Toastmasters mentor couldn’t remember a single thing I said after my first speech. It made me feel little confidence in my abilities.
But then later, I learned great speeches make others think about their own lives, not “wow what a charismatic speaker.”
Although my mentor couldn’t remember what I said, he could remember how it make him feel and what he wanted to change in his life. I realized that my first speech was not a complete failure.
Same speech, same mentor, same facts, just a different interpretation. That single shift in perspective completely changed my confidence level.
To feel more confident, often all you need is an outside perspective to get out of your negative overthinking and self-doubt.
Here are 8 ways to change your perspective on a negative interaction.
1. Write it as if writing to someone else.
2. Connect it with your sense of self.
3. Share it with someone who is candid.
4. Research it.
5. Play your own devil’s advocate.
6. Get clarification from the person involved.
7. Rethink it when you are in a good mood.
8. Zoom out in time and space.

Mindset by Carol Dweck synthesized by Deepak JayaramanDeepak Jayaraman
Carol Dweck's book Mindset discusses two different mindsets that influence achievement - a fixed mindset and a growth mindset. Those with a fixed mindset believe their intelligence and talents are innate and cannot change. They focus on looking smart and avoiding challenges. Those with a growth mindset believe their abilities can be developed through effort and learning. They embrace challenges and persist in the face of setbacks. Research shows those with a growth mindset achieve more than those with a fixed mindset who may plateau early and achieve less than their full potential.

6. Fixed Mindset
• Skills are uncontrollable and pre-determined
• Can lead to:
– Giving up
– Avoidance
– Performance focus
– Devaluing effort
– Blame and
helplessness Also called “Entity View” or “Goal
Oriented”

• GB: I've always wanted to hear
this from TO. Your theory of "If
you got it, flaunt it."
• TO: It's basically just being
confident in who you are. It's like
if you and I were in a contest or
we were going out to the beach,
you would probably be reluctant
to take your shirt off. Right, but in
my case, I work out, I feel like I
have a nice body, then I wouldn't
have a problem taking my shirt
off. I have a number of friends
who tell me if they had my body
they would probably walk around
naked. So that's basically where
that comes from. You just got to
be confident in who you are, and
don't let anybody say or tell you
anything different.

On losing to Manny
Pacquiao:
"This is the second robbery
of the two that we had, and
I think this was even more
clear than the first… We
won with the clearer
punches. The audience
protested because they saw
us win again. I thought I got
robbed. It happens again
and again. I don't know
what else I can do to win."

Also called “Incremental View”
Or “Mastery Oriented”
13. Drew Brees
What do you like best about
golf?
I love just how hard a game it
is. It's something you can
never master. You can get
close, but it's one of those
games that keep you coming
back for more. As frustrating
as it can be at times, that one
great shot or one great hole
keeps you coming back.…
You're still working toward
something: you're trying to
birdie every hole, you're trying
to play better than your
handicap. And you play golf
with people you like. There are
so many great elements to it.
14. Jackie Joyner-Kersee
“Some might attribute my
transformation to the laws of
heredity…. But I think it was
my reward for all those hours
of hard work on the bridle
path, the neighborhood
sidewalks and the schoolhouse
corridors…. There is something
about seeing myself improve
that motivates and excites me.
It’s that way now, after six
Olympic medals and five world
records. And it was that way
when I was in junior high, just
starting to enter track meets.”

from? Where do you think your students’
mindsets come from?

why not?

• approaching a challenge
• hitting a setback
• facing criticism
Step 2. Recognize that you have a choice.
Step 3. Talk back to it with a
growth mindset voice.
Step 4. Take the growth mindset
action.
20. Example: “How to Be Creative”
Jonah Lehrer, Wall Street Journal
Creativity can seem like magic. We
look at people like Steve Jobs and Bob
Dylan, and we conclude that they
must possess supernatural powers
denied to mere mortals like us, gifts
that allow them to imagine what has
never existed before. They're
"creative types." We're not….
But creativity is not magic, and there's no such thing as a creative type. Creativity
is not a trait that we inherit in our genes or a blessing bestowed by the angels. It's
a skill. Anyone can learn to be creative and to get better at it. New research is
shedding light on what allows people to develop world-changing products and to
solve the toughest problems. A surprisingly concrete set of lessons has emerged
about what creativity is and how to spark it in ourselves and our work.
21. Example: “How to Be Creative”
Jonah Lehrer, Wall Street Journal
• James Dolan Replied: This is part of the myth that's
perpetuated by this class which says "you can be
anything you want to be" rather than "find what you
do best and work hard to refine it." It results in a lot of
disappointed and frustrated people doing mediocre
work.
• Gary Wilmot Replied: "I have always been able to do
it" . . .well, fine for you, but what about those that
want to learn to do something other than just what
comes naturally to them? Just tell them not to
"perpetuate the myth" . . . ? Being satisfied with what
only comes easy to you sounds a lot like the exact
opposite of innovation.
22. Example: “How to Be Creative”
Jonah Lehrer, Wall Street Journal
Avner Mandelman Wrote: The idea that all people have the same potential…
is nonsense. People are different, and even different groups of people are
different. Pigmies are shorter, Masai are taller. Sure, you can train the first at
great expense to play basketball and do long jumps, but why not train the
Masai instead? Similarly, some humans are much more creative, others much
less. Forcing a non-creative person to be creative is like forcing an introvert to
become a salesman-- or a pigmy to play basketball. You can do it, sure. But
it's a waste of resources, bad management, and bad social politics….A non
creative person can be made into Artistic Director, just as a pigmy may
indeed be taught to play basketball, but the chances of either being good at
what they are inherently bad at would be so low that encouraging them
borders on the irresponsible. Instead of such false egalitarian theories, why
not invest time and effort in trying to find people's inherent different abilities
(and inabilities), and make sure they can contribute to society-- and to
themselves-- in the best way they are capable of?

Four mistaken beliefs:
1. Students with high ability are more likely
to display “mastery oriented” qualities
2. Success in school directly fosters mastery-
oriented qualities
3. Praise, particularly praising a student’s
intelligence, encourages mastery-
oriented qualities
4. Students’ confidence in their intelligence
is the key to mastery-oriented qualities
