Sometimes I think that when I tap out a quick post, the topic will just go *poof* from my mind. As in, there! are you happy now? I’ve BLOGGED about you!
This doesn’t often work.
It really hasn’t worked this week, as I race through Mindset, gobbling up what is admittedly a middling read—a real thicket of anecdotes—because the central premise is so damn interesting.
The question of fixed vs. growth mindset offers a startling new frame for even the most incidental moments of the past few days.
For instance, I learned on Monday that—to my actual and total surprise—that Colorado and Oklahoma share a border.
My reaction? One that I actually verbalized?
“Wow! I had no idea. But I didn’t grow up here, so why would I know that?”
A brief glimmer of curiosity…and then I go defensive!
