This chapter put in plain words how “good thinking” help us to adjust how to understand a situation. It discusses the difference between a “negative thinking” and“right-mind thinking.” For a pessimist or “negative thinker”, there is always something to worry about, nothing is ever quite right, bad events seem to last forever, and they surely outweigh the positive ones. Life means fear and sadness most of the time. An optimist person or “right-mind thinker” acknowledges negative circumstances, but chooses to be positive about them and looks for “the hidden gift”, or even thinks of how to change the situation.
This chapter also points out the “mindset” which is an established set of attitudes held by someone. A fixed mindset is one in which you view your talents and abilities as well, fixed. In other words, you are who you are, your intelligence and talents are fixed, and your fate is to go through life avoiding challenge and failure. A growth mindset, on the other hand, is one in which you see yourself as fluid, a work in progress. Your fate is one of growth and opportunity.
Chapter 4In this chapter the main idea is to show us, students, how to make our major useful in a workplace. It also gives us tips to improve our grades and see the positive aspects of why it is important to be an educated person. Once we have made a decision to move forward with particular major, students must learn to embrace their choice and be able to articulate how it will contribute to their future success.
