EC Growth Mindset: How to Spark Creativity When You're in a Rut

This week I read the article, How to Spark Creativity When You're in a Rut from the HBR. One thing this article confirmed that I already had an idea of was that creativity can fade when you're in a rut. It's really easy to be creative when you are faced with a new problem, placed in a new environment, or starting a new experience. But as time goes on, you can often find yourself in a rut and it becomes hard to be creative. I think creativity is something that is very important in maintaining your sanity. School and work can be really overwhelming, and while this is important too, sometimes you need a break from all this so you can just focus on the things and ideas that make you who you are. Some things this article suggested you do were meet new people, capitalize on your obstacles, and share what you know. By setting aside time to do things you love and talk about things your passionate about can really help your overall growth mindset.

Also I have one dog who is the coolest dog in the whole world (even though all dogs are amazing). Her name is Kacy and she's 10 years old. I always make my parents send me pictures of her. Here is a picture I took of her: One of my other favorite things is food. I can't think of...

Week 6 Storytelling: The Creation

Once, there was a simple world. People communicated by talking to one another, and occasionally people would even write down their thoughts onto paper and share it with others. People traveled via foot, and occasionally by animal. But, they didn't really know how big the world really was. The simple world was nice, and many people were only in contact with the people they wanted to be in contact with and they thought it was good. One girl, however, always wondered what the world was outside of her school and neighborhood. She began to experiment in her room and eventually created a prototype of a device that would allow her to talk to her neighbor without being in plane of vision. Her neighbor, was fascinated and they began to experiment together until they could get their device able to reach farther and farther distances. However, the girls parents found out, and they were angry. There wasn't a reason to talk to people that were outside of their contact area. The girl was...
