Really interesting article on "Growth" vs "Fixed" mindset. I kindof had an inkling that resilience was the key to success, but man, dealing with failure and building that skill is hard! What a good concept to consider if you're a teacher or a parent or just a mentor. Strive for neuroplasticity!
"Intelligent people are those who grapple boldly with challenges, people who look at their mistakes and learn from them."
..
"If you don't know how to welcome failure, grapple with it and ultimately overcome it, you're not going to develop your potential to the fullest."
Wow. PREACH, Sister: Article by Laurie Penny, "Women 'having it all' is a middle-class myth":
"Without wishing to sound like a conspiracy theorist, if I had to invent a way to undermine feminism as a socially useful movement, here's what I'd do. I'd set up a ridiculous standard of personal and professional attainment, one that would be unachievable for the vast majority of women who weren't independently wealthy, white and upper-middle class and I'd call it "having it all". After I'd set up this impossible standard, I'd be sure to make women feel like failures for not attaining it."
Sad, and TRUE. We need to ask for more!
Ok I might as well continue with the feminism and re-linking stuff from GalaDarling - here's a video of wacky Nicki Minaj (she cray, and I don't like her music but she's making a point here): BOSS UP!
