You can grow you intelligence

The most important wisdom I learned in working with growth mindset is that you are not born smart or dum. The one that trains his och here brain the most, will be among the smarter. When you give your brain a exercise, then the neurons in the brain connect to each other. If you have a lot of connections then you are probably smarter than a person with fewer connections. Zlatan, Ronaldo and Messi were not born to be great footballers. They trained and they practiced and they practiced even more. Growing your intelligence i the same thing.

When you make mistakes and feel that a task is too difficult, then you should stop and reflect over what you are doing wrong. When you think a challenge or a task is too hard, the you are probably in the dip. The dip is like when you climb a mountain. You think you have reached the top, but then you see that the mountain is even higher. To reach the real top you need to go down a bit. Yet is the most important word when you are trying to  go away from the dip. Yet means that you can't do it right now. When I was a small child I could not swim. But I practiced because I knew that sooner or later I would learn. Of corse I learned, it is the same with learning to speak or walk.

To feel satisfied with your work you should not compare it others work, but you could get inspiration, tips and help from each other. It may be so that you have forgotten something in your work. Compare and helping are two different words. Compare is for example look at each others work and see who made the best work.

My day with Kevin Hart

I would want to spend a day with Kevin Hart. He is an famous actor and comedian. 

Well our day would look like this. Me and Kevin will begin our day in New York with an fansy breakfast. Then we will drive an McLaren P1 to the airport. At the airport we will board a reduced gravity flight. After that me and Kevin will take a helicopter and bungee jump from it, Kevin Hart is probably that guy the like hight. For lunch we would eat at the most expensive restaurant in all of New York. At the restaurant we would oder the most expensive drink just so we could sink it. After lunch we would fly ones again. This time to Los Angeles. But the plan we would be taking is Air force one. In LA I will be attending Comedy Central Roast. Kevin, Chris, Dwayne and some funny other comedians would roast me. After the roast is my day with Kevin Hart done. Before I go I sign my autograph and give it to him. 

The end

Music taste

I do not have a special favorite song. But one of my favorites is the Eminem song of Lose yourself. I just like the rhythm.

If I have to have one artist as my favorite, then it has to be Eminem. The reason is that he makes meny songs that I like.

My taste in music have not changed that much. I you compare to many in my age, then I do not listen to much music at all.

The lyrics are not very important. I may think a song is good, but when I see the lyrics I realize that the song is really shit.

Episode 4
1. What are neurons and how do we make connections between our neurons?
Neurons are tiny things in our brain. When you do hard exercises the neurons connect to each other and you get smarter.

2. Think of an example where you made some new connections in your brain. What were you doing?
When I was taught how to speak I made a high number of connections in my brain

3. What can you do this week to make some new connections? Set one specific goal.
I will make a greet history text or I could do a very hard challenge.

Episode 5
1. What does it feel like when something is too challenging? Is it wrong that we feel this way?
When I feel that it i too challenging I just want to give up. But a different part of me wants to keep on with the challenge. It is not wrong that we feel this way.

2. What kind of attitude should we take on when facing a challenge, and why is that important?

You have to be optimistic but in the same way you have to know that the challenge could be really hard and could take some time.

3. When taking on a challenge, it's okay to ask for help or to take a break to reflect, like Mojo did! Does this mean we aren't growing our brain anymore?
Like a muscle the brain needs to take a break. Muscles will not grow if you push it all the time. Sometimes the brain gets tired and then neds to rest. A tired brain is not an efficient brain.

Mojo season 2

1. What is a dip?
When you do a task and at first every thing goes according to plan. But then you are just on a standstill. You can't go any further with your task. That is the dip. It is like when you go up a hill. But when you think you're at the top you see the hill goes even further, and to go up there you first have to go down a bit.

2. Where/what situations might we encounter a dip in?
You jump from a trampolin. When you have jumped down you want to jump from an even higher trampolin. But when you jump from the trampolin you do a stomach splash. After that you won't dare to jump from high trampolines again.

3. What kind of emotions accompany a dip, and how can we stay positive?

You feel bad, sad and angry. Bad because you do not know what to do to get out of the dip. Sad because you maybe think you are stupid. You often also get angry when you do not what to do. To stay positive you must have the mindset that you will sooner or later go over the dip. 

Mojo

Episode one - A secret about the brain

1. Why does Mojo want to leave school? Can you sometimes relate to how Mojo is feeling?

Mojo wanted to leave school because fund it to hard. He thought he was not smart enough. I can sometimes relate to Mojos feelings. Sometimes it is to hard and I have difficulties to understand. Then I just want the subject to end.

2. What does Katie say to Mojo to convince him not to leave?

Katie says that a person is not born stupid or smart. If you give your brain exercise with hard a task, then you will get smarter. It is like a muscle. When you were born you could not speak, but you had to learn.

3. Do you think Mojo can become smarter? Why or why not?

I think Mojo can and will become smarter. But only if he has the mindset and really wants to. And if Mojo are on a standstill during exercise. Then he could get help from someone.

4. What subject do you feel frustrated by sometimes? Can you see yourself becoming smarter in that subject? How?
Sometimes I get frustrated during Swedish. But to overcome the frustration I need to put the time in to it. If I need help I ask for it.

Episode two - The magic of mistakes

1. What does the quote from the video, "mistakes can make you smarter" mean to you?

The quote means for me that if I fail I now know that it is wrong and I will do it differently next time.

2. How can we learn from our mistakes? Talk about a specific, recent example.

When we was programing robots I did not know how to do it good. I often programed the robot wrong. But I knew if I did it wrong the time before, I would not do it in the same way again.

3. If you were building a robot and kept "failing,” what would you do?

First I keep trying. But if that is no ouse then I ask for help. Two brains is beter than one.


Episode three - The power of “yet”

1. What should you do if you are stuck on a project, math problem, or other learning?

I should ask for help, maybe he or she know how to solve the problem. If neither of us don not know the anser then we could try and solve it together.

2. Think of a time you were afraid to ask for help. Why did you feel afraid?

When I was a small child me and a friend climbed up a tree. But I was to short and could not do climb up. I did not ask for help because I did not my friend to that I was a bad climber.

3. Why is the word "yet" so powerful? Think of a "yet" moment in your life and describe it.

The word ''yet'' is so powerful because if for an example. If you can not speak fluent english yet, then it dose not mean you can not do it later. It is joust that you can not do it right no. When I was a smal child I could not swim yet. But I knew that with practice I could learn and of course I did.

Stone cold my opinion

My opinion of the book ''Stone cold''

This is the first book I have ever read in english. I thought it was OK. There is not many books about homeless people in modern time , so that was interesting. In the book the author used slang words. Instead of saying ''don't know'' they said dunno. There were different chapters about the Link and Shelter. It was sometimes hard to know who was talking and who was not talking. So it was quite confusing for me.

I liked the idea of writing chapters both about the ''good guy'' and the ''bad guy''. Then I could see things from two perspectives. Link had a hard life as an homeless, but he had a ''good hearth''. Shelter had however a easy life where money was not a problem, but he was a bad cold-blooded man with a ''stone cold hearth''

I will give the book ''Stone cold'' three out of five stars. The reason I give the book three stars is because I liked the way the author wrote the book, but I am not a big fan of the content. Stone cold is not the kind of book I would have borrowed if I did not have to. But it is of corse readable.

Stone cold

I have read from page 93 to 132

Ginger was gone. Link and Gail did an investigation. Last time Ginger was seen he was with a guy. They believed they knew who the guy was. It was Shelter. Gail and Link were spying around Shelter’s home. One day Shelter found Link. He offered him food and a coat. Link followed Shelter to his home. Link knew that Shelter was a killer and the man that Ginger was last seen with. Shelter was going to kill him the old fashioned way. It was’t successful and all hell broke lose. Link and Shelter had a big fight. They fought in many rooms. In one room there were many dead bodies of homeless people, including Ginger. Shelter almost killed Link but the cops came and interfered. Gail had called the cops. Link found out that Gail was’t a homeless and her name was not Gail. Here name was Louise Bain and she was a journalist. Louise was researching homelessness. Shelter was in jail. Link got some money from Louise but he was still homeless. He was thinking about living London.

Shelter killed a bagger girl. He killed the girl in the same way as he killed the first man. Now Shelter wanted to kill Link. He once tried to find Link. But he found Ginger instead. Shelter lured Ginger to believe that Link was in the hospital. 

Ginger was talking about the life of an homeless man. They went over the Thames by a boat. The boat owner was called Capitan Hook. They meet three homeless kids. One of the kid's name was Doggy Bag. 

Link was looking for Ginger because he was gone. He talked to some guys. One said Ginger talked to a man. He met a girl called Gail.

Shelter talks about his daily routine. He conspires about the government. He hates homeless peoples. They do not do anything good. He lets a homeless man live with him. But the he killed him. He is an ex military.
