6B How It All Connects!!

The articles that we read this week all had one thing in common and that is shame and challenges. The previous week we learned about fixed mindset and growth mindset. This all connects because most people believe that hard work and dedication can get them very far that’s why most people like challenges.

This week I listened to a video about Dr. Brian Goldman. He talked about how he had made a mistake on a patient and how he regrets it. The point of this lecture was to learn from your mistake and pass on the information to others. One quote that I pulled from this video is “do you remember”. That was the question that was stuck on Dr. Goldman’s mind because people asked him that question a lot. It was an emotional question for him because it reminded him of his mistakes. Dr. Brian Goldman had been a very good doctor but later he realizes that everybody makes mistakes. We are part of a world where no one is perfect.

Another connection is extrinsic and intrinsic motivation. This connects to Angela Duckworth and her talk about grit. Intrinsic requires a lot of grit because they are both focused on success and how to become a better learner.  Angela talks about how hard it is for people to have a good grit score. She says that people who don’t go to school have less motivation to continue on with their goals than people who do go to school. This is where extrinsic motivation comes in because most people need to get motivation from someone else inorder for them to achieve a goal.
