The points are good however for analyzing oneself and seeing what you can change. My challenge is the not comparing. I am strong at telling students that we don't compare with each other but rather look at individual growth, but then catch myself comparing my life to the achievements of others. Thank you for the article.

I like ALL of them. #7 resonates with me..we have a saying in our classroom. We don't say, "I can't do it." Instead, we say, "I can't do it yet." It's all part of that growth mindset. Thanks for sharing this article again. I'm glad I had time to go back and read it tonight.

It is ...I saw your post and read the article, too. It is a compelling title. My OLW is Open, so I need to look at number 11, "They don't resist change." So easy for us to get complacent and let things stay as they are, or, worse, resist the change that must happen. But I am also quite guilty of being jealous of other people's success. It's hard not to be. I also know that they deserve it because they have put in the hard work. Then why does it seem like they did it easily? <br />Thanks for making me think.

The advice about the journey reminds me of wisdom a friend shared with me: Don't compare your inside to someone else's outside. I know everything that's wrong with me inside, but only see the best appearance for most other people. Remembering that advice has kept me from comparing myself to others many times.

It seems a wise list to me. And that idea of thinking about applying it to students is good. My school always keeps students in a class at least two years, & sometimes three. It is a gift, isn't it, to get to know those students so well. Thanks again for the article!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.com
