Growth Mindset : How to Boost your Confidence

Growth Mindset: How to Boost your Confidence

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_NYrWqUR40&t=43s

So for this Growth Mindset task, I decided to watch this helpful video about confidence and how you can grow to be more confident in yourself. This was a video by Ted-Ed on youtube and it is an animation style video narrating how to build confidence.

One of the things I already knew before watching this video was that I always hear the cliche advice from people and I quote "Believe in yourself" "You got to have confidence" and "Be confident in your own abilities". I hear these quotes thrown out all the time whenever I am doing something for work, going after my goals and dreams, school, college etc. It's some good advice but I never really understood the meaning behind it.

In this video that I watched, they not only talked about confidence but also talked about the science behind it which was quite interesting to me because I didn't know it was going to get scientific. One of the new things I learnt is about the differences between "Fixed Mindsets" and "Growth Mindsets". A fixed mindset is something that describes children and people who believe their talents, intelligence and personalities are fixed traits that cannot grow. They grow up to believe that they can not obtain a significant level of greatness and they think they won't be able to improve their abilities over time.

On the other hand, A growth mindset is something that people have who think their abilities can be improved over time and every day is an opportunity to learn and grow. They believe that they are not limited to their abilities and they want to be able to better themselves.

In the video, they say it was scientifically proven that people who have a growth mindset are more successful, get better test scores and do way better in the face of challenges than the people who have a fixed mindset.

This subject has sparked my curiosity and I actually want to look more into this subject on youtube to find out more about this. Because the video was quite short, I want to see if there is another video out there that is longer and goes into more detail about confidence.

Game Brainstorm

Game Brainstorm 3D Catching Game I picked the 3D Catching game for one of my ideas because I feel like these games are simple to play, the controls and the mechanics are not complicated and anyone can play them. From my knowledge, inside of a catching game, the player needs to use its abilities to move around the map, stay focused and catch certain objects such as balls, fruits, food, animals, etc with precision. And the more objects that you catch the more difficult the game will get and the levels get increasingly harder and more fun. The objects will either fall faster or there will be such things that you are not allowed to catch such as spikes, bombs, unhealthy food etc in general just bad things can't be caught. The things I would like to learn if I were to make a catching game is : Learn the fundamentals of making a game. Learn the different mechanics of controlling and moving a player. Learn how to make the player catch objects. Learn how to add a...

Introduction to a Future Success

Introduction to myself :) This is me Nasim Slavotic :) Hello! My name is Nasim Slavotic, I am 20 years old and I am now a 2nd-year student in TUDublin Blanchardstown doing Creative Digital Media. I am from Dublin and I work part-time in my dad's butcher shop here in Blanchardstown in Coolmine near the post office. What are my hobbies? In my free time, I like to go to the gym. Also, I like to go out and take pictures with my camera and make videos on my Youtube channel (NaSiM101) which I took a break from for a while from the pandemic but I do love to brainstorm new ideas for videos and discover new trending things. I also love going out with my friends but now I am starting to go back out again since the pandemic had closed everything before but now everything is coming back to normal slowly but surely. When I'm bored I like to head on Photoshop and Illustrator and just make whatever comes in my mind. https://pxhere.com/en/photo/1621191 Favourite Foods...

My First Playable

First Playable My First Playable game so far At this point right now in the process of making my game, I have now implemented the environment, the 3d character, the HUD interface of the gold coins, the player being able to run forward across the map and move left and right avoiding the obstacles pressing the left and right keys or the A and D keys. I also implemented the trigger where when you run across the coins you are able to collect the coins and the number of coins you collect will appear on the top left of the screen. I adjusted the main camera angle to be a third-person view of the entire game so it gives a good perspective of the coins and the obstacles. I then added plants to give it a better aesthetic and look to the game. The thing I wanted to change from my original vision was that I wanted to make the game way more suited to the theme of the game itself. So instead of wooden spikes, I added logs and instead of tree trunks I added regular trees and then I also added ...
