Reading Options

I am excited to read the stories about Ramayana and Mahabharata because it relates to Buddhism. One of the stories that grabbed my attention was the Public Domain Edition of the Ramayana. I am intrigued to read more about Ramayana's life. Another great thing about this edition is that it includes audio clips too. Another book that I became interested was the Rama and the Monkeys. The story line with the monkeys can relate to many things like sacrifice and love. Lastly, the Public Domain Edition: Mahabharata book seemed cool to read. It includes different written authors and styles that they use in stories.

Ramayana, Link Text.

Notes: A king has three sons: Prince of the Stars. Moon Prince. Sun Prince. The queen went away because she was afraid of the king's decision. Therefore, the king told his son's to live in the forest before his death. Then after his death, come back and the palace would be theirs. However, the sun prince asked where they were going. After the sun prince heard what happened, the sun prince wanted to come with them as well. The three brothers then stumbled upon the the King of Fairies. A watersprite asked the sun prince a question. The two other brothers were getting worried and the Moon Prince went to the pond where the sun prince was.

Feedback Strategies

One of the articles that got me interested was  What Kinds of Messages Help Kids Grow?  For a person that wants to seek towards the medical route to become a pediatrician, it reminded me that kids are a huge factor as they get older. Most people start off learning the basics and work their way up to become a successful adult when they were toddlers. It makes sense that if you want to provide a strong motivation for a child, award him/her with "Excellent!" and/or "You did great!" However, it is also best to complete those phrases into a sentence where these kids can learn and obtain this information to use later in their future. Whenever I see a child at my youth group doing little good things like picking up a trash that wasn't his or hers, I would say, "Thank you for picking up the trash and throwing it away in the trash bin!" as an example. Another article that got me interested in reading was  How to Give Feedback Without Sounding Like a Jerk . So...

Growth Mindset

Most ted talks that I have recently watched were very interesting because they do make sense. They manipulate in some parts of your mind to initiate the ideas they were trying to apply. I have not heard of Carol Dweck, but she does know what she is doing. The growth mindset is always important for most people so that they can improve in their lives. Carol Dweck is right. Sometimes life can be hard, but that doesn't mean you should consider failure as your complete check-off list. It just means, "not yet," as in you are not done yet. Life is all about practice before perfect. It takes time and practice to be better at things like playing sports or studying for exams. What I realized was that you must work harder to put yourself up to the top. From my experience, I didn't study too much in high school and I still had a high 4.0 GPA. After attending college, it is completely different. You must study and even know how to study to become better for your achievements. What...
