Rev. William Jenkins is a Minister, author, retired teacher, and consultant. Shut up and listen is a chapter in his Student Success Book. This topic is applicable to all ages and especially for people that are lifelong learners or people who might have to pivot in their careers or in life. I like this topic because, sometimes, I have to tell myself to Shut-up and Listen and remind myself to Reflect. #Keepgoing #Listen #Stopandlisten #Reflect #Shutupandlisten #growthmindset #Preach

What is a Growth Mindset and how do we develop a growth mindset? A growth mindset is Related to our belief about our ability and it Creates a whole mental world for us to live in. We should treat our personal goals  just as we treat our work goals because someone once said, a dream written down with a date becomes a goal, A goal broken down into steps becomes a plan, a plan backed by action makes your dreams a reality. We definitely want the extraordinary life that we dream of to become a reality. So, This week we are going to discuss, Implementing our action plan with a Growth Mindset.
