3A Your State of Mind


"There is nothing good or bad, but thinking makes it so"- Shakespeare 



Shakespeare has always been one of the most challenging languages of all time. I believe that the quote listed above mean that our mind decides whether something is good or bad. For example, my father smokes a lot. My brain thinks it is very bad for you but my father brain believes that smoking is very good for you. It is all about what your mind gets use to.

            This quote relates to the different types of mindsets. One of them is fixed mindset, which means that you need to be perfect at what you do, and the other one is growth mindset, which mean that you need to work hard to get to where you want to be. The quote related to this because you can choose which type of mindset is a better choice for you.

            This quote also connects to intrinsic motivation, you are within an individual, and extrinsic motivation, being the outside of the individual.  This relates to the quotes because we have to make a choice to either be our motivation or have someone else motivate us. This quote relates to our everyday lives. Everyday we wake up we have to make choices. For example, for breakfast i have a choice to eat a burger or cereal. For myself I would choose the cereal because I am use to eating healthy, but for someone else it might me a good thing to eat the burger. We as individuals all have different minds. Our different minds make us all unique.
