Growth Mindset: The surprising habits of original thinkers

A meme about Growth Mindset, taken from Here.

For this extra credit I watched a video, "

The surprising habits of original thinkers | Adam Grant", a 15 minuter ted talk video about original thinkers. I found this video very interesting as it explains how original thinkers are usually procrastinators because it gives them time to think and allows for more creativity.

I actually have an interesting story of this myself: Back in first year near the end of semester 1, we got 3-4 assignments and all were due in December. I decided to do my digital photography earlier then all the others and left my visual creativity assignment to the last minute. I had my photo essay done before a week before it was due, while I was still drawing and colouring my visual creativity the day it was due !

I thought I would 100% pass digital photography and was hoping that I barely pass visual creativity. I was so surprised that I pass digital photography with a C and got a B+ in Visual creativity!

It's kind of interesting that Martin Luther is just as bad as procrastinating as me!

I also think it's interesting that failure rate of first thinkers and improvers ! Reminds me of "Shenmue" which was the first open world game but it didn't preform great but "Grand Theft Auto 3", which took "Shenmue" open world idea, improve on it and sold millions of copies !

Oh and that research about Firefox and Chrome users are more creative, was cool, ~~HAHA I'm more creative then you ! HAHAHa.~~ The bit about creative progress hits closes as I always doubt my ideas, I changed my idea for visual design fundamental 3 times, so doubt is my best friend, yay.

The bit about failing hits close to home, I'm afraid of failing but also still fail time and time again. I still keep going because how else I'm gonna know ?

Overall I found this video super interesting and would recommend watching it.

Introduction to Me, Myself and I

Hello, I'm Sarah and this my introduction post ! Here's bit of information about me: I live in Dublin, in Ireland and I've live there all my life. I mainly listen to Metal, currently I've been listening to Slipknot newest Album 'We are not your Kind' also known as Vol 6.. If you want a taste of Slipknot, here's a link to 'Unsainted' which is the first song (not counting the intro) on their new album. For Hobbies, I usually write, I've been practising writing over the summer and I think I'm getting better, My English has certainly improved. I'm also a Cub Scout Leader, so I go away on trip with the Cubs, Scouts and Ventures. This year I went away to County Claire and Holland with the Scouts. County Claire in June 2019, Taken by Me while hiking with the Cubs. I really like travelling around, especially with my camera, my Nikon D5100 with a standard 18-55mm lens and I since I'm studying photography in college I got put in...

Unity Free Tutorials

Hello and welcome to my blog ! With My Non-swinging Axe. This week I'm looking at unity tutorials for my game, that totally weren't sent by my mate Oisin, cheers Oisin ! To see if they can help my game. The first one is "PATROL AI WITH UNITY AND C#" Jesus, someone needs to calm down with the CapLk. A handy video that teaches a little bit of different coding but with little explanation of what the code does but personally I recommend muting the video and just because his voice is annoying, I'm half deaf and his voice was giving a headache ! So after doing the tutorial I came across a problem, the script doesn't seem to be working, there's supposed to be a speed box but as you can see there is none, even after I tried to listen to the video I couldn't get it to work. For some reason, the script not coming up right, screen shot taken by me. Moving onto the next tutorial, "How to make Doors in Unity" yes I'm serious. This tut...

Technology and Me

Today, I'm going to talk about technology, some of the tools I'm use or going to start using. Confession time: I use bookmarks way too much, like I have three pages of bookmarks on Google Chrome and most I don't even use anymore. So, I know how to bookmark, add folders to bookmark, I learn how to do it by accident, know how to get rid of them and all ! Probably the google app I use the most, apart from YouTube and maybe gmail, is Google Doc. Right now, I have use it for a little over a year and I'm actually have it open as I typed this ! So I'm conformable with both Google Doc and Bookmarks. A meme about Google Doc, Founded from Here Since I've used Photo-shop before and I use paint (yes, Microsoft paint.) to edit image, I feel comfortable enough with editing images for this. Really the only tools I've never used before is Pad-let, WordPress and graphics creation, so I more nervous for them. Honestly this is very different from different class...
