Mindset matters!

 Mindset matters!

Last week. A family kept a rented room in our society.  The breadwinner of the family being an auto-rickshaw driver, he was opposed by the neighbours. They weren’t ready to allow his auto to park in a street. They resisted him on his request. Further, they told him that he would be blocking the street road. On that issue, he agreed but tried to solve it by saying that he would park his auto after 11 clocks in the night. However, the neighbours disapproved and displayed their obstinate nature. Still, he asked them what he could do to bring to end the problem.  They didn’t say anything related to the solution. They only pointed out that he should not park. He thought over it and consulted with a room owner.

I observed this incident from my window and came to know about the people and their fixed mindset. In this incident, having a growth mindset the auto-rickshaw driver tried to find the solution and also asked for any other way to it. But the people being fixed mindset didn’t find any possibilities. They weren’t ready to change.

The same type of people is seen at school, society and politics. They caused a barrier to the growth of human being and society. Directly and indirectly, they don’t like to see any possibilities in daily things. Automatically, they create lots of problems in the surrounding.

Isn’t it a serious problem?

Which mindset are you having either a growth or fixed mindset?

Do you think that it matters in life?

    My teaching techniques for English language learners.     What works in one place doesn’t necessarily help at other side. That is true for teaching and learning at schools and colleges. There are certain reasons such as students' level, their family background, atmosphere, social activities, discipline and awareness factors etc. However, a teacher has to take his techniques based on his experience and observations to the class. So that he can change it from time to time. Being a learner, I jotted down some ideas for my teaching profession. At this stage, I feel that these are to be changed in the course of teaching and learning. 1) Icebreakers:- As soon as I enter the class, I try to use some ideas to make my class fresh, energetic and attentive. Maybe small activities such as a hand up, closing your eyes, taking deep breaths, rolling your hands, moving your body, clapping, touching your forehead, gargling and so on. That prepares my students for learning a language. S
