Attitude Matters

1. "BE WILLING TO TRY BEFORE YOU CONVINCE YOURSELF THAT YOU CAN’T DO SOMETHING" (swimswam.com). At school, there are many obstacles that stand in your way when doing work.sometimes you think that you will fail and get an f. You get a mind set of I can't do this and that blocks your ability to think straight. I do this quite a bit. This quote can help remind me that I have to try and not just automatically give up when it gets hard.

2. "MOTIVATION COMES FROM ACTING – NOT FROM THINKING ABOUT WHAT LIES AHEAD" [swimsam.com]. sometimes  in math class I will try to think about the equation without working it out.That always makes it Harder for me.  This quote helps me to start working and then think because if there is an error in your math, then you see can see the error.

3. "HOW WE THINK FEEDS INTO HOW WE FEEL" [swimswam.com]. If you think that you are tired then you feel tired. If you think that you  are dumb then you feel dumb. That keeps you from doing your work productively. This quote makes you think about changing that mindset of I can't do that.
