better to make a mistake than to do nothing

ld downloaded Better by Mistake* for me on my Ipad. It's been a good companion to my head cold today. Also, fits into January's reading of Outliers** well. Then again so does this (see link)

Great article about Carol S. Dweck's research on fixed versus growth mindsets. The gist: even geniuses work hard.

Here, the visuals make it more clear. Love this pdf:

The more we read the more connections, synthesis and synchronicity we see. Giving rise to a lot of aha's!, hmm's, and interesting. Love those.
