Thanks to a Twitter item this morning, I read this article: The beauty of unfinished work. Here's a takeaway message from that article: Mistakes provide the next lesson. Looking for an image to use, I remembered a great one that Magistra Susan had found at Cheezburger. So, I made a poster with that one: I really liked the Latin version that Susan had done, so I also animated that by adding an English translation; you can see more of her Latin growth mindset memes at her Cheezburger Board: Digital Magistra: Conabor rursus cras. I will try again tomorrow ..read more

This cat was inspired by this article: 5 Tips For Taking Feedback Like a Champ by Megan Bruneau. If this is the first time you've heard the term "self-compassion," it's important to clarify it's not about believing you're perfect or being complacent.

I'm learning as I go. (cheezburger ..read more

This cat was inspired by an article about the critical voices you might hear inside your head: Silence the Critical Voices in Your Head by Sabina Nawaz. There’s one debilitating behavior that most of us fall victim to with great regularity: listening to critical voices in our heads. Whether they originate from external criticism or our own fears and doubts, these negative voices tell us we’re not good enough, kind enough, or productive enough. Research shows that echoing negative thoughts inside our heads increases our chances of depression, isolates us from others, and inhibits us from pursui ..read more
