Growth Mindset

An interesting topic of discussion today indeed. Mindset, and the power of our thoughts. Our thoughts combined with our attitude are the key elements to successful growth.

How are we supposed to grow without being challenged? How are we supposed to grow if we repeat the same tasks over and over again? Pushing boundaries is what gets you by boundaries, not by standing around waiting. Your brain is a muscle. If you think about the muscles on the rest of your body, they need to be pushed over limits in order to grow.

This is the kind of stuff that Carol Dweck speaks about "Make Challenge The New Comfort Zone".
It's very inspiring and motivating. When you think of it, there is absolutely no other feeling like completing something challenging, and if it comes to completion that's amazing growth happening instantly and if not, it's the resilience to try again which will make you grow even more. It's all about the will power.

Personally, I don't always allow myself to have a growth mindset. I sometimes find myself having a fixed mindset, but it's the small steps every day that make a big difference; you are in control of your thoughts and your attitude.

I am definitely in need of a growth mindset ALL of the time rather than some, and I look forward to using techniques to challenge myself in a positive way, and it will give positive outcomes. And there is never anything negative about positivity, so why not?

Introduction to a Future Web Developer.

Hey! This post is a little bit less of the 'fun talk' than discussing my favorite game, but it will still be very interesting. I will be discussing ME! Nothing too personal, I will be focusing on the professional side of my everyday life. At the moment, college takes up most of my time, as you would expect. I am currently in my second year of study in Creative Digital Media and so far, I'm loving it! We aren't really too long into Second Year for me to give a fully-fledged opinion on it, but I can definitely share my thoughts from First Year.  First Year was hands-down the quickest year of my life. It is crazy how different your life feels when starting in a completely different environment, especially after coming straight from secondary school, like I did. When you're finally studying and working on something that you want to be doing, you have fun and time really does fly. I definitely know that I'm in the right course. My favorite thing about...

BETA Things Have Happened In My Life.

So.. I have spent many upon many hours this weekend on several 'Unity Free Tutorials' from previous blog posts, and I have struggled a lot. I have tried to implement timers, etc, into my game and absolutely none of it has worked. I cannot figure out the coding, the errors, or C# in general, and the tutorials don't help with the confusion as they aren't exactly what I wanted to achieve. One issue I've had for example is the timer. I've followed around five different tutorials on this particular one as I really wanted to put it onto my game. Each one I've found is a bit different from what I want and doesn't fit the game. Except one, and when I tried to follow it, '(Sprites?)' were introduced and I could not get any of it to work at all. My Own Screenshot of my Unity. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, so therefore, I have absolutely no idea how to fix it. Considering the tutorials I researched were 'extras' that I tho...

Unity Free Tutorials

Unity Free Tutorials This week has been an extremely busy week with deadlines. Unfortunately, due to other massive submissions in these last two weeks, I don't even have a minute spare to practice these tutorials or develop my project until the weekend. But, I have had just enough time to watch these tutorials and understand what is happening in them in order to implement them into my own game. I never even thought about these particular things until I was reading and commenting on other student's blog posts. I'm glad now, as it's just in time right before the end and they are obviously quite necessary in the development and functionality of a game. Main Menu https://youtu.be/_1wMnE06PeU Pause Menu https://youtu.be/JivuXdrIHK0 The coding from both of these tutorials seems quite difficult, and I am positive that I can complete them both separately, but when it comes to implementing them both together in the same game, I'm so sure. Hopefully, it wil...
