"I work hard to prove myself right - I made the right decision!" What an absolutely powerful idea this one. I've just taken a huge leap of faith towards my dreams and find myself second-guessing way too often when not having a great day. Just need to work hard to prove myself right about the decision. Just decided that's my mantra for 2016. Great motivation! Thanks Brian!!

Great video as usual! And that "praise" study has me thinking about how I can apply that information not only to others, but to myself as well. Instead of telling myself that I'm so smart when I do something well, I should instead tell myself that I worked really hard and did a great job. Thus, perhaps, somewhat inoculating myself against obstacles in the future.

[@HeroicBrian]

+Jay Thompson YES!!!!!

+Brian Johnson I want to say that that preview of the materials you've created was remarkable. I've never seen such a thing offered, practically given away, and then I think of some of the things you've taught me, and I realize it's supposed to be this way! thank you for the gift of sharing yourself, you are a great inspiration to me...💃

[@HeroicBrian]

Marc Chilifritters Thank you, Marc!!!

The believable possible neatly parallels Steven Johnson's idea of the "adjacent possible" for creativity, as described in his wonderful book Where Good Ideas Come From :)

[@HeroicBrian]

+Chris Loper Awesome!

About the Smart/Work hard thingy, here's how it works in my experience. When you praise a kid by telling him he is smart/talented he will define his identity that he is talented/smart. He will think that he is somehow special and thus better than other people in that specific area. The problem arises when one faces an obstacle, because then he will start to doubt his talent and anxiety will occur. He will face his attention toward his negative thoughts in stead of the activity at hand. What if I'm not as good as I thought I was? Am I worthless? Will people stop loving me if I'm not as good as I think I am? People will go in to defense mode as soon as it's self-perceived identity is in danger. An other problem that might arise is that the "talented" kid might start to think that he can coast. He doesn't have to work as hard any more because he is "special". This can result in a kid half assing it and obviously the end result will suffer. When you praise kids for the hard work, you encourage kids for the process in stead of the result they produced. Kids are encouraged to focus their attention to the activity without worrying about the outcome, the ego stays out of it because the final result won't endanger their sense of identity. Praising kids for their talent/born gifts is not only a problem on a individual level but it's a big problem in Western society. We have created this huge focus on results/efficiency that we lost our focus on the activities of life itself. This creates a lot of anxiety in most people and - ironically - the end results suffer tremendously because of it. If we want the best end result we have to let go of the end result and start focussing on the process. It will be a huge step forward if we stop labeling ourselves by the tangible achievements we have achieved and start more defining ourselves in where our interests lie. Also in education we should ditch the current grading system (1 -10 here in Europa). Grading should be assessed by the amount of effort a student has put in. You can still set minimum standards for a pass, but stop these exact grades calculated by some mathematical formula.
