Assignment 27
"Mindset: The New Psychology of Success" by Carol S. Dweck.
Theme:
The theme revolves around the perception of failure what can be gained, fixed, or opened from it. When people have a more open-minded approach to failure, it becomes less fatal and becomes more rewarding. Failures have value and should be treated as such.
Connection
The book connects with the course because it revolves around the teaching of the professor that failures are the steps that lead to success. The professor has made it quite clear that we need to change our views on failures because in the end, they are learning experiences that we face every now and then and it's up to us to decide what to do with this new found knowledge. Failures are a necessary experience in order to succeed. Evaluating failures is an important skill to have and not just for entrepreneurship, but also for life as well.
Exercise.
A good exercise to take from this is to give students a list of generic failures and have the students describe what can be done in situations such as those. Require them to list different approaches and perceptions they had when reading these failures. After listing, they should recall a failure that they had experience and apply those perceptions on that failure to see if they realize that there could have been other approaches to their failures.
Biggest Surprise:
There weren't many big surprises from reading this after reading "How to fail at almost everything and still win big". Failures will always be a part of someones life, it just depends on what we do with that failure that matters the most, what value did you gain from this failure.
