ailure is scary for many people. By changing your fixed mindset to growth mindset we can reduce the fear of failure by beginning to see it more as an opportunity to learn and grow. Everybody makes mistakes but the real question is how do you respond and recover. Approaching challenging situations with a growth mindset makes all the difference. Criticism plays a huge role in the mind of the fixed mindset. Ever since you were small, someone has been telling you what you can't do. Your mother told you that you couldn't eat dessert until you finished dinner, your father told you that you couldn't sit too close to the TV, and your teachers told you that you couldn't run in the hallway. During life, there will be hundreds of people who not only tell

The book, Mindset, by Carol Dweck describes that in order to have a full growth mindset, one must work to change their thought process. Over the years I’ve gained comments from loved ones and friends in regards to being too easy to forgive or I don’t forgive at all. What I know is that I need to consider being forgiving to an extent where I know someone else doesn’t deserve my forgiveness. I’m not always the person to step forward in the face of a challenge. My anxiety derives from my thought process of thinking that I can’t solve the desired situation. My leadership skills only happen in a rarity but that needs to change if I want to continue to grow in life. In order to develop my growth mindset, I am going to work on being more

As a result, they are reluctant to take on challenges. However, people with what Carol Dweck calls 'growth mindsets' believe that they can learn, change, and develop needed skills.

Greet customers in a friendly respectable manner, while scanning items and counting the appropriate amount of money, clean up our station when there are no customers, never be idle. At the end of the day I would take my register tray out and count out the amount of money I have made for the day and fill out a form to note how much and take a certain amount out and place it in a bank vault to keep it safe until pick up, while counting the money I would make a receipt how much exactly was in the register and refill the change for the next person who uses that tray and lock the tray in a cubby and give the key to the person at the head of the desk.

ALWAYS aknowledge the customer when they are in your sight. Even when they are not approaching the cashier window. Ask them if they have been helped, say hello, or is there something I can help you with.

In this torrent of new experiences humans identify patterns and codify the knowledge until it is in their mastery, often a difficult achievement. This could be taken as a bad thing, but humans love challenge and relish it; however, sometimes people get too overwhelmed. Therefore, it is often necessary to seek help; when one person has knowledge a person in need doesn't, the one with knowledge can help by explaining the information (the basis of education). The drive to master challenges makes people flexible and efficient when they are overwhelmed; leading to the natural human ability to adapt. In a new situation, filled with unknown variables and new feelings, adaptation is a necessity; people are really good at this and the more people do it, the better they get at it. They gain this knowledge on how to adapt by learning from their mistakes and successes. This makes a person better at solving everyday problems and overall, making them more contributive to society by solving other people's problems and tackling even bigger issues that effect everyone. This knowledge also can be observed by others so the methodology

There is a common preconceived notion coming into a summer co-op position, and that is that you will be a small fish in a big pond. In my specific position it was actually the opposite. I was a rather large player with many key roles within a smaller organization. I was able to both qualitatively and quantitatively measure my overall impact on the organization through the results of specific projects. With many of the tasks I was given, my work was directly positively correlated to the success or failure of the project. The position gave my both the power and independence required to develop a sense of comfort in the industry. Prior to this position I would never have felt qualified to properly function in a business environment, however

Greeting and assisting customers to ensure they come in and out quickly is all they can do.
