 Thinking about Growth Mindset

    After I watch the video of Carol Dweck, I would like to say that I am interested in the topic Growth Mindset. It looks like Professor Dweck provides a better way to our educational system in order to teach and raise our students. Actually, I have heard about similar theory when I was in China, my middle school Chinese teacher always like to say that the result is not important but the process is the most important thing. Obviously, no one could achieve her goal, since the social environment in China only thinks a lot of the grade of students and the result. 

    However, I still think that the growth mindset and move out from our confront zone are really important to all students. The reason for that is those two thoughts could help us think deeply and thoroughly. In my opinion, there are many students who are too eager to get full A in every semester, but they forget the original intention of study which is to pursue the knowledge and improve ourselves. Notwithstanding, reality is full of contradiction and ambivalent. Even we know that Carol Dweck's theory does make sense, but it is difficult to implement.

Taiwei Chang's Introduction     I am a transfer student from China, and I always believe that go to study abroad is the best choice that I have ever made in my life. For now, I am an economics student, and this is the second year that I came to OU. In my opinion, there are lots of cool things in my major. For example, we need to learn the regularity of economic phenomena, the role of the government, businessman and citizens, and how to fix economic problems in our society.      I would also like to show you some of my favorite things. In terms of food, it is highly suggested that the Hot Pot in China. I am sure many foreigners who also indulge in Hot Pot. Then, I would like to recommend to you my favorite movie which is called Flipped. The movie tells a beautiful story between two young people. In the beginning, they dislike each other, and there are some contradictions between them. However, a good soul would always attract the other one.  Chinese Hot Pot. Web Source: I am a Food

One day, an environmentalist found the wonderful lamp coincidently. In the beginning, he did not know what it is. After he scrubbed the ashes on that lamp, an elf appeared in his view. "What do you want? I could fulfill one of your wishes, remember, just one."  After a period of thinking, the environmentalist said, "Could you clean all the pollutions that exist on the earth?"  The elf laughed, "Wow, such a noble spirit! I am so proud of you dude! But, I'm sorry. Although I can do that for sure, your wish cannot be realized."  "What? Wait! What is that mean? You just told me a paradox." The environmentalist felt confused.  Answered by the elf, "I would like to prove what I just said after I fulfill your wish. Now, let's do it!" The elf snapped its fingers, then, all pollutions on the earth disappeared.  The elf continued, "I have the power to time travel. It is time to show you what would happen on earth after your wish has
