Feedback Thoughts

The two articles that I read were “Seven Ways to Crush Self-Doubt in Creative Work” by John Spencer as well as “A fixed mindset could be holding you back — here's how to change it” by Anna Kelsey-Sugg and Ann Arnold. When reading these two articles, I couldn’t help but notice the multiple references to the growth mindset and how it relates to feedback. Having a growth mindset really changes the way you look at feedback because since you are willing to improve, you are able to take the feedback that you receive to help better yourself. In terms of feedback in general, I actually really enjoy receiving feedback as I feel like it helps me learn more. I like knowing exactly what I did wrong so that I won’t miss it the next time I see it. I think personally, I like more negative feedback a little more so that I know what I can improve on, but positive feedback never hurts. Overall, I think that feedback is really important in learning and improving one’s self.

As for my hobbies, I only really have one hobby which is playing basketball but in recent times, it has been kind of difficult to keep that hobby going. Therefore, I really want to find a new hobby to replace basketball at least for the time being. I think that learning how to play an i

Week 2 Story: The Lost Prince

   (Old Castle by Tanya K via Flickr )      The young prince of a large kingdom once got lost in the slums of the kingdom after straying away from his caretaker. The slums were known to be dangerous as crime was commonplace in the area. Guards from the city were present in the slums but many were corrupt and overlooked crime if given money. The prince was now alone in this dangerous place and looked all around for the exit of the slums to get back to the city. Unable to find the exit, the prince decided to go ask a guard for help. The young child explained to the guard that he was the young prince of the kingdom and that he had gotten lost, so he needed help getting back. After looking around for hours, the prince’s clothes had gotten dirty and the guard upon seeing these clothes, thought the prince to be just another poor commoner. The guard told the prince that if he needed help, he would have to pay to which the prince replied that he had no money. After the prince replied,
