Growth Mindset

 From watching the videos of Carol Dweck for this weeks tasks. I can really agree with her point of view. I strongly believe that anyone can learn anything they want and the only thing in our way from learning new things or improving at something is ourselves.

I don't like when people give up when something is "too hard" I really think that when you struggle is when you learn the most as you are forced to get out of your comfort zone and work around your weaknesses. 

I also find people that are growth minded happier as they don't look at things as a disadvantage but more so a chance to learn more and become a better version of themselves. I think this picture I found on Pinterest explains that very well.


I also really liked the idea of using "Yet". As in "I'm not good at maths yet" rather than saying "oh I'm just sh*t at maths". I just feel like some people give up on their capability too quick when all it takes is to look at challenges or errors or fails as a good thing. As in when you mess up you look at it as "at least I know not to do that again" rather than just giving up and saying you can't do it.

Introduction To Someone

 Welcome back! So today I will introduce myself. Talk about things I like doing and things I don't. Well, I'm 20 years young, my nationality is Irish but I have Romanian parent. I never know what to answer when people ask me where I'm from as I have an accent, so I just say "I'm a foreign Irish person". I'm a big fan of sports (NOT FOOTBALL). My favourite sports at this moment are boxing, golf, surfing and the gym. I've done boxing for 5 years but stopped as I wanted to gain size and boxing had way too much cardio in it. So I joined the gym and I'm addicted to the gym. I train 6 days a week and my weekly gym plan is Push, Pull, Leg day and repeat. During my Push days I train chest, triceps and shoulders as to train those muscles you do exercises that involve a push motion. For Pull day I train my back, biceps and forearm as those muscles involve a pull motion to train them. And, leg day is just legs (LEAST FAVOURITE DAY IN THE GYM). The rest of the...

Reading 09

Hi all. This week we have focused on fixing our papers. This was challenging as I find it hard write academically. I am glad to get the chance to improve my writing. For this week I have rewritten my introduction and conclusion as I believe they weren't good. I also fixed up my paragraphs where I found mistakes.  I am pretty happy with how it is at this moment and I am happy to continue on with my weekly tasks after Easter break. I hope everyone will enjoy this break as we all need it. Thank you, Denis.

Technology

 Good evening. I'm back! This week I found out about some tools we will be using throughout  this semester. So far I can say I'm really excited to create graphics using canvas, cheezburger and so on. I can't wait to figure out which of those will work the best with my workflow.  I think trying out Wordpress will be good. I like the idea of trying out different tools as you never know which works best for you until you try it out!  There's a picture of the first dinner I had in Crete. I hope your craving pizza now! Because I am... See you next week! Or later on today.. Bye, Denis.
