Growth Mindset: Read an Article

For this challenge, I watched a TED talk titled "How to get better at the thigns you care about". I liked that learning zone and performance zone are two separate zones. There is definitely a difference between learning about something new and then working on being the best you can be at that one thing. The story about Demonsthenes and the sword was hilarious. It makes me want to come up with a way not to fall asleep while I'm trying to study! I also like the idea about learning first in a low-stakes area and gradually upping the stakes as you become better.
