Bringing in A Second Opinion
1) What was the general theme or argument of the book?
The general theme of the book is the differences between a growth mindset and fixed mindset. How they effect your daily activities and how one behaves.
2) How did the book, in your opinion, connect with and enhance what you are learning in ENT 3003?
It helped me reinforce the idea that even though I may make a mistake here and there, it is all about what I do after that will improve my way of being. In the case of ENT, that is doing my work and not trying to fall below an A. I messed up once and did not declare my assignment. The book tells you to have a growth mindset and look for potential. The potential is, I recognize my error and I will seek out ways to improve.
3) If you had to design an exercise for this class, based on the book you read, what would that exercise involve?
I would have everyone write on a notepad to take with them throughout the week and write down there thoughts. By the time they are back they should have written a certain amount of thoughts where people would read out loud and the class will determine whether it is a fixed mindset thought or a growth mindset thought.
4) What was your biggest surprise or 'aha' moment when reading the book? In other words, what did you learn that differed most from your expectations?
Bill Gates recommended the book. If Bill Gates says to do something, then I am doing it.

ReplyDeleteHey Brandon,
ReplyDeleteI really wish that you would have named what the book was that you read. It does sound interesting. I think that it would that been a surprise to me to if Bill Gates recommended the book I was reading too. You activity does something that even I would like to do. I think it is great that the book seems so encouraging and is trying in create a health mindset.
Sorry about the first comment. I noticed that the word count was correct, so I redid it.
Shalom Brandon, you did a great job with this post, I just wish you told us the name of the book. I like what you talked about when you mentioned how you learn from your failures. I think this is a great mindset to have as an entrepreneur and I am elated that you were able to get something so valuable out of your book choice for this assignment. I felt like I got a lot of valuable information out of mine as well.
