Hey guys!! Perhaps you've heard of a growth vs fixed mindset, but I wanted to dig more into how this impacted my academic career and wider life. There's so much power in believing your knowledge is constantly evolving, as opposed to fixed. Is anyone "naturally" amazing at anything? Even though we have different aptitudes and motivations, I believe that with enough effort, everyone is capable of anything 🌟enjoy!!

Such a 'motivating' quote
Thank you for inspiring me with this quote
thank you for this
the zen master just sees
@@jellyfishcorpseschannel01 Welcome 😊
no ability is absolutely inherent, my sister used to be really bad at dancing, but through constant effort, and with the 'growth mindset', she is now a student of a prestigious arts high school majoring in street dancing!!
this is inspiring, thank you for sharing!
Jade is the sunshine keeping us alive this pandemic.
I agree 100% !! These videos, this content is such a beautiful and such a welcome change to my seemingly stagnant life right now
@@3aabiratsbeel I feel the exact same thing
This is the fudging t r u t h
Honestly couldn't agree more !!! 😂
@@jueedhar1545 exactly
I failed math all throughout primary and was always told "that's okay, not everyone has to be good at everything" and i was made to think i needed to have been born with a mathsy mind to tackle it all. fast forward 5 years later, i ended up being the only person in my grade to get a perfect score in my annual math exam.
i’m so proud of you!!
this is so inspiring!! thankyou for sharing. so proud of you!
Imagine she became a teacher. She will get 100% attendance in her classes. And the student of her class how they will be very passionate and attracted to learning, studying, and how to build a better future.
Students are too bitchy to teachers nowadays, she absolutely doesn’t deserve that! :( I would never miss her class!
@@saniasinghania1183 Yeah actually. Nowadays they know everything and disrespecting others is very cool.
I try to enjoy being the least experienced and lowest graded person in a class because it gives me the opportunity to learn a lot from every single person in the room.
u remind me pf an anime character omg observant and quiet
what are you? hinata?
*”Growth mindset is what makes a passion for learning, not a hunger for approval.” LISTEN UP!!! FACTS FACTS FACTS!!😭💕*
The growth mindset gives you control, which completely changes the narrative
yesyesyes!
Hell yes, destiny can go destine itself
When I was 14 I was convinced that I wasn’t a languages person, so much so that I never in a million years would have chosen to study one at GCSE if my school didn’t make it compulsory. Fast forward 8 years and I’m halfway through a languages degree that I’m absolutely in love with, hands down the best academic decision I’ve ever made 🙌✨
could you maybe share what you are planning to do with your language degree in the future. I'm really contemplating studying a language but I don't know what I would be able to do with it later. ,
My Casual magic of the day is Im currently sat by the marina near my house with a costa hot chocolate and it’s completely silent apart from the boats and water ❤️
in love with this image. i feel like i can see you in my mind's eye. have a beautiful day!
@@UnJadedJade thank you Jade, you too ❤️
@Juan Moliner Love to have such a background behind me too!
this sounds soo lovely!!
that sounds lovely x
You maybe don't realise it, but you are actually a therapist to yourself. You are replacing irational thoughts with positive ones. I just wanted to say that I appreciate you as a person who gives me motivation, inspiration and hope every time I watch your videos. Thank you!!!
*"Failure is the springboard for growth"*
the comment section of this video is so helpful 😭
When Jade was describing her position in class and reaction to grades that were lower than the others' I just immediately went back to my school time and felt it again..
ikr, i even used to reduce others grades, so that id still be the highest
I used to have a growth mindset back in grade 9. Back then I didn't have a reputation for being particularly good at anything but I was eager to improve. Then as time went on I developed a reputation for being the "smart kid" which made me fear failure. I even reached a point where I would rather quit than try at all. Now that I am starting university I really want to develop a growth mindset once more.
my causal magic of the day:
I finally spoke to my mum all in Italian , we had a full blown conversation in Italian while sitting at Byron Beach.
- my mum learnt Italian when she was my age and I have always wanted to learn and after 5 months of learning we spoke in Italian to each other
This is SO incredible. My heart is so warm for you guys
sometimes it’s just so hard to remember that you can actually grow from your mistakes and a lower grade doesn’t mean you’re stupid. I think that is partly the school systems fault. For instance, if you’re a straight A student and then struggle in a certain subject, teachers are suddenly becoming worried about you like there’s something wrong about failure. At the same time, school tries to encourage students to make mistakes but the main idea is still to get good grades or otherwise you’re not going anywhere in life.
I just wanted to say thank you. You completely changed my mindset and now I will stop saying that I’m just bad at something because I’m still growing and will get there! 🥰
Honestly, she’s the only influencer I know that is actually worthy of being called an influencer... her and Kurtis Konner
( obviously there are more great people on RUclips I just don’t know a lot) I see all those lifestyle vloggers and it honestly makes me want to quit RUclips forever...how they are so privilege and ignorant and honestly sometimes it feels like they are just greedy and care only about their money. Jade on the other hand is so clever, not showing off, relatable and even if she makes a mistake she learns from it. She sets a great example for viewers of any age!
How does it feel to carry my mental health on your back? Honestly girl you're keeping me sane during this pandemic.
honestly same
my parents want me to have a fixed mindset and often do the “see, you’re stupid and ur not worth as much as someone who is smarter bc you had a B in maths” and they want me to just accept it and get a better grade next time, thank you for this. it feels like i have a big sister telling me that it’ll al be okay
This is sooooo important! The biggest part of achieving something is believing you can do it. 😊
preach.
next year i'm going to take my first ever proper exams, i honestly feel like your videos will become such a big part of my life then
awww this is so sweet to say and so uplifting to know
Thank you, thank you Jade. Since I started high school I've been struggling with scientific subjects and I recognize that I have repeated to myself that I would never understand or be good at chemistry, math and phisics because I thought I hadn't got an attitude or something like that. I definitely need a growth mindset, I have let my grades define my intelligence for too long.
P. S. Today I'm grateful for because I did my first weekly planner ever for next week.
Yess Jade, I have struggled with a fixed mindset a lot, until I realized that I need to change my perspective and attitude. I am so happy that I got the chance to apply the growth mindset into my life in a very special way. I always had a dream of playing the piano, but I have convinced myself that" I won't be able to do it". I looked at all of the amazing piano players and compered myself to them, totally ignoring the fact that they have practiced a looot until they got where they are now, and that I have never even started yet.. Last year I have made a decision to start. I made my dream come true and allowed myself to try, and grow. It was not easy, but after practicing and learning and trying- I suddenly realized than I CAN do this, it was all in my head. The minute I decided to put effort and actually try, rather than just saying to myself that I am not good at playing- I realized it is possible.
Thank you Jade, you are the best. Every time I watch your videos I get so inspired and motivated!
By the way, sorry if I have any mistakes, Lot's of love from Israel!🇮🇱✨
you have no idea how much i needed this. i’ve always thought that i’ve had a growth mindset but this just showed me that i don’t. thank you so much. i’m not good at math yet and just because i get a “bad” grade that doesn’t mean i’m not intelligent.
I'm such a pessimist, and it's stunted my personal growth for the longest time. This really opened my eyes and inspired me! Maybe developing a growth mindset will be one of my goals for next year :)
I don't know who said it but: "Feedback (failure) is the breakfast of champions."
I'm in high school and I, too, am known as the smart/nerdy kid. No one (except for a couple friends) talks to me unless they're asking me for the homework answers. Now, there's so much pressure to keep up the reputation. I feel you on that one.
This is what I need when I have 3 weeks of revision coming
huge huge good luck!!
@@UnJadedJade thankyou so much! First trial exam on my birthday argh!!
sameee
i'm so glad that my parents told me about the growth mindset quite a few years ago, it really helped change my attitude to learning and growing! love this video (i love all your videos tbh!)
Jade you’ve changed my life!!!! It’s true, slowly changing my eating habits, I wake up 5 go to sleep at 9 and I’m feeling so much better honestly!
The problem is that it seems that you need to get better fast in this capitalistic world where we need immediate results in order to get a job
Basically gen z
Just wanna quickly pick up on a statement made right at the start of the video where you said 'im just naturally not good at maths' and I just wanna put it out there that some people actually naturally aren't good at maths. I have dyscalculia and my brain just cannot do numbers, yes I can improve but I will always struggle with that, no amount of learning or growth mindset will change that. Fully support everything else in this video and the general message behind it but I also want to recognise that some people struggle and that's not their fault and it's completely valid and there isn't a way to 'fix it' nor should they really be trying to.
Thank you so much for adding this necessary perspective!! ❤️ growth mindset is about believing in and challenging yourself, but recognising that this looks different for everyone is so important.
@@UnJadedJade Completely agree! You can learn to be better but recognising your own limitations is super important. Sometimes when you can't change a situation it's necessary to improve on what you can and accept what you can't, otherwise, you'll spend your whole life chasing something you can never achieve.
'I AM GOING TO CHANGE MY MINDSET' - YESSS!! Wow i feel soo empowered thankyou!!
I’ve been in this fixed mindset since the start of year 11 and it’s affecting me mentally and I never knew how much I needed this.
U can do it...
Girl, yes!! I grew up my whole life as an art student believing I could never do any form of mathematics until I woke up one day in uni and realized I was bored and unchallenged. I decided then and there I was to become an electrical engineering student and I am only two classes away from getting my degree. Anything is possible!!!!
@aurora studies Thank you so much! And I wish the best in life for your friend. ❤️
Made me teary, needed this jade.You are a beam of sunshine in the mundane world.
What if genuine efforts are continuously met with failures and reaffirming to themselves that they are just not there YET starts to feel like self delusion? Isn't acknowledgement of one's own strengths and weaknesses just as important?
I agree
Surely you can make your weaknesses your strengths
I agree with this, but I would also wonder what changes in approaches were made in these efforts. What needed to be done that that person wasn’t doing? Perhaps some changes could be made to actually see the improvement. I suppose your question also begs the question “when should one accept defeat?”. Ideally, never. Realistically, whenever one has accepted that they gave their best but the return does not outweigh the emotional or financial burden to continue going. Perhaps their efforts would see better improvement at a faster rate at something they’re already decent at to begin with.
If your continuous efforts are always met with failures then don’t you agree that you should find a different approach?
Needed this so bad. I was struggling w Fingerwaves(20s hairstyle) in beauty school this past week and yesterday i decided to just try it again and say to myself, i may not b good at it right now but ill never be good if i never try it again. And then i tried it and I DID WELL. Your midset really impacts how u see the world and how you are able to try new things
This video was so immensly important and helpful to me.
Personally, as a student who's being stressing and worrying so much about past grades, or how peers look at my 'failures', I am so grateful I came across this video!
Watching this video, not only made me aware of my current mindset, but has portrayed oppurtunity to change and work with my mindset!
Thank you for posting and sharing this!
'I don't understand how to solve it... 𝐲𝐞𝐭!'
I totally agree with you on this , I used to have a fixed mindset (regarding learning and academics) abt a few months back due to the people I was surrounded with but after lockdown I have opened myself to a new world of possibilities through the growth mindset ....
this video feels like a supportive facetime call from a friend
This video has taught me so much! Recently redid my math course over and over again for 3 years but I just couldn’t get it into my head! I will attempt this growth mindset in my next semester and hopefully I will get there! Thank you for your lovely videos jade😊
Growth mindset is literally life changing! It sounds kinda cringe but it actually works if ur dedicated to it
I have always been "not good at math" at the last exam I did I got a 65... I was devastated bc my brother it's this brainy guy really good at maths so I always compare myself to him! But thank you Jade for this
this felt like a warm hug from a supportive friend uwu
I wish this video existed back when I went to secondary school or high school. I was mediocre in every subject (Only got a few Ds, mostly Cs and very few Bs) during those years but I absolutely had a fixed mindset at that time. Maths and sometimes natural sciences were the worst subjects ever. For every grade I got I hated constructive criticism so I never read comments from my teachers and thought that I could never be extremely good at the subject. Already there I hindered myself from even reaching what I truly wanted and grow from it. I didn't believe in myself and thought I could never be as good as the people in my school who got Bs and As. I've always loved learning but I think the stress about grades really ruined it for me. Happily, when I improved and re-did 4 of my high school subjects earlier this year in a private school I became so motivated to learn bc of my teachers and got into a growth mindset. I managed to get two Bs and three As on the exams, improving from C to B/A in the subjects. Now I'm at uni and it's much more difficult indeed but I'm having fun and I learn a lot!! Thank you Jade, for reminding me to continue going on with a growth mindset
I saw this video at such a great time. I've been struggling a lot with my mindset towards music, creating, singing and playing the piano, and I now realize the underlying problem is that I put so much pressure on being perfect, that I miss the opportunities to grow. I don't have the courage to put myself out there, and when I do I criticize every thing I do "wrong", instead of learning and growing from it. I've really been suffocating by passion by making myself believe that I am not good enough, and that I have to be the best to do it. I'm not at the state I want to be with my creative abilities, YET. thank you ❤️
Okay so this topic is soooo important !! I’ve been told by all of my maths teachers growing up that „I just can’t do maths“ but in my last year I met someone who showed me how to use the skills and understandings I had and it basically just clicked and I had the best grades I’ve ever had
I'm struggling as a first year engineering student, I feel like I will never get to the same level as the rest of my classmates, but your video has changed my perception and mindset. I'm optimistic that I will get there, just in my own way and at my own pace
My german teacher told us about the growth/fixed mindset at the beginning of the year and I really appreciate it. I think it’s really good and important to know, especially for younger students
Oh my days Jade this is so beautiful and raw and true. It's so brave of you to open up about how you felt during your time at high school. It's so hard and challenging to actually accept that you need help, but really that just proves how badly you want to grow and improve and that's a real skill. I'm fourteen and a lot of people at my school say I'm smart and it puts pressure on me to get good grades and 100% on every test. And I understand that struggle of scoring less than your peers. I love this video and I really appreciate you making it to show everyone that you have to make mistakes to grow. I love you Jade have an amazing week xx
I read your casual magic of the day❤️❤️ Mine is I just finished my exams that had been stressing me for the past 8 months and I finally feel so free :)
I always wonder if anyone reads them 🥰 thank you for sharing!! Huuuge congrats for finishing the exams! x
@@UnJadedJade thank you so much! I always read them xx and your reply made my day❤️ have a great day, Jade!
Your vlogs are amazing as always, thanks Jade.
Yeah, that's absolutely true. I've also read a book about it, but i still fall into the fixed mindset. I can't count how many time I've said "I'm not good at it, therefore this thing it's not for me"
YES. keep trying! the brain just needs to be trained, if you keep trying your brain will learn strategies to do that task, and it'll become more efficient and faster the more you keep trying. (sorry 4th year psychology student here)
you uploaded just when i needed it. i’m doing a triple major at college with math being one of them, and it gets tough at times. maths is not my strongest suit, but i absolutely love it. this video is a much-needed reminder that my ability isn’t fixed!! all the love 💜
love love love this, thank you for sharing!! you can and will SMASH the maths 😌🌟
@@UnJadedJade thank you, you’re a gem!!! 💜💜💜 (also just realised the insane amount of typos in the earlier comment oops)
@zainab hamze ahh thank you girl!! hope you're well. keeps me perpetually struggling though for sure 🤪
So simple, but important words. The problem is, even if I know how this unhelpful fixed mindset is damaging life, it has stuck with me, ‘cuz it’s so hard to reject criticizing yourself if you’ve been doing it for all of your life. I have pretty toxic relationship with maths, as I’ve been growing this “I’m not a maths person” mindset since middle school. Now I have to pass maths for uni and every attempt to solve any problem feels like a torture. I know that I should be kind with myself and let myself grow from mistakes, but brain sees it and like “oh here u are, doing every possible mistake, how did you come to an idea that you can pass it??”
WHYY this “growing” concept is not to be taught in school???? It’s way more important than any subject, it can change lives✨
Thank you.
The growth mindset so much aligns with what I learnt in my language acquisition course. Feeling lucky to see someone share it. You’re gorgeous 😻
I saw someone else share their casual magic for the day, and so I’m going to do the same: I went on my bike at night and ended up riding along a dark road by the beach as the sun set over the ocean. It was so nice riding with no hands in an empty street and seeing my shadow under the light. Love these type of videos Jade, and I hope everyone’s keeping well
This video has inspired me to change my mindset, I'm in Year 13 and I'm going to get that ABB I need.
You can do this!!
Good luck - I know that you have got this !!! Xx
You've got this!!!
I do believe that the kind of mindset you describe is ideal, leads to an overpressured, burn-out prone generation. If you constantly feel like you can do and know everything, and there's not really an excuse not to, then you'll be frustrated when you do not really feel the inclination to learn it. Following your example of coding, I DO think that I'm not the coding type of person, so I'm not going to bother with it. And that's fine. My life is fine without that knowledge. You mention that you felt embarrassed to not know something, and that that has improved with this growth mindset: that's not right. You could work on not feeling embarrassed, not because you know you could learn this in the end, but being okay with not knowing this. Ever.
I hope you can acknowledge the point I'm trying to make here. This type of "mindsets that change your life" just kind of terrify me for the well-being of the people.
I agree! Especially in practical skills. For example you’re probably never going to succeed in sports unless you’ve started at a young age, and similarly with learning music and playing an instrument you’d have to play for 10 years to catch up with those people that started at 6. Also people have different learning disabilities and body types so nothing is really achievable to everyone.
This is such an amazing (and much needed) video! I have always been "the smart one", the one who gets good grades and makes it look easy, but people don't see you in the moments you're struggling and when you're tired - they don't see how much work and effort you put into it and how resilient you are. I am now in my last year of college and I can proudly say that I have learned to ask for help, I have come to the conclusion grades will *never* define you or your worth - sometimes we just need to see the bigger picture. You have helped me so much in this process, thank you for helping us grow, Jade ❤️
I thought I wasn't good at math and statistics because I had problems in school when I was young. I finished a degree in Foreign Languages and recently (I'm 27!) I started a master's degree in Data Science. With. Maths. And. Statistics! I was scared, saying to myself "I'm going to fail, I'm not good at this". BUT I realized that I'm not bad at all! It feels so good. It all comes with a lot of practice and the right mindset. As you say, it's amazing how our mind prevents us from pursuing life paths that we would have enjoyed more. It's not about skills, but about the right mindset.
I love Maths, Statistics, Python, R, and so on, and I have so much fun with my studies that I regret not studying them sooner!
Thanks for the video. It is really inspiring and I can relate. It made me think a lot!
The casual magic of the day: this video!
Hugs from Poland even though I'm Spanish (Galicia)!
What you experienced at school is so similar to what I'm still struggling with - I've even been in identical situations a couple of times. This feeling of humiliation is just the worst! And, you know, it's really comforting to see that I'm not alone in my experiences. Thank you so much ❤
Recently I had my mock exams and I got a U in science. It was dubbed UNGRADEABLE MATERIAL! That stung because I really want to study psychology in A Levels but for that I need a grade 4. So I gave up, until I found this video. I have started revising everyday, I used to get told that I just didn't have a scientific brain because I am very musical, I am not good at science YET. Thank you so much for this video, you have saved me myself.
Casual magic- I finally went back to work today.
Can we all just appreciate for a second just how GORGEOUS Jade is rn!?
Like that positivity and wise words just radiating from her is truly beautiful.
I'm so happy to have stumbled onto your corner of the internet!!!
And the growth mindset here I come - it's been so hard recently coz of my GCSEs and just not knowing what's gonna happen, I find it so easy to slip into the fixed mindset and not raise my hand for help; from fear of my classmates mocking me :((
But jade because if this, I'm not going to let anyone and Their opinions phase me now x
Ilysm and you are an inspiration to us all xx
I am so glad you bought this up. I am doing GCSE English as a mature student. I am not getting good grades. I and everyone else said that I am not great at English. then I decided not to care about grades. I said to myself I am just going to learn it the best I can. If I am not where I want to be I will just retake it. I am not sure if my grades are getting better but I am beginning to learn it
Jade's videos are ones which we don't realise we need but we do!!!
recently redid and aced a heavy maths exam after a year of practising for myself, for applying to a top engineering uni. watched your videos again yesterday, now just had a 4h german exam! next on to working on a passion project of mine for encouraging exploring slow simple vibes. you keep me motivated! ❤️from🇳🇴
Coding! I hear you. I am tackling a project, one which seems not be going well, I always forget to save, cannot find the right chr type meanwhile my classmates are just breezing through. While my teacher said that the more mistakes I make, the more learning I'm doing, I was just fed up with how many mistakes I was making, and more importantly then, how quickly the others were completing it. Now I realise I just need to work on it! Thanks Jade xx
I also used to compare my intelligence and self worth with grades and I just didn't realise at the time that advance concepts in any subject will obviously take time for me to understand and learn and all of this landed me in a very bad state of mind where I couldn't even do the questions I knew with confidence. I am trying to change it every single day and it does make me feel a little less isolated to know that a lot of students struggle with this ( even the nerdy ones🙃) . Thank you for this video. Keep growing 💚
The area I need to work on is being myself and forgiving myself. During the pandemic I quit A-levels (people please don't come for me) to pursue my passion for horses. I am now on an equine course that I love but am a lot less academic and have fallen into old negative mindsets about motivation and learning. I am also recovering from 16 years of domestic abuse and struggling to live as my own person rather than my sister's protector or the person my parents want me to be. I am constantly giving in to other people's wishes rather than figuring out what I want and who I want to be. So I am going to work on being the person I want to be. I am not the person I want to be...yet.
PS. Jade why on earth did I stop watching your videos? (I think I felt like I let you down for leaving A-levels but screw that because your content inspires me so much and applies universally across my life) You honestly are the big sister I never had and I love you so much
ngl i expected this to be the same old preaching i've heard a hundred times but it was actually helpful, thanks
I was always telling myelf that I just cant do physics so I will never choose engineering and stuff but lately I've been studying more than I ve ever studied before and here is my conclusion the more time you spend on it the more it gets easier and learnable. It is just a mind bareer that you created on ur own and you must be the person who breaking that as well.
I am a nerdy person in school like you and all you said was just... hits me Jade I really appreciate you bring that up
You make me feel so positive and empowered everytime ❤ love you :)
Literally everything u said resonated with me. I also had the reputation of being "the academic girl" and what I hated the most was that everyone seemed to believe that I was obsessed with getting perfect grades all the time, when in reality I was just trying to do my best cause I cared about learning. But the pressure and the "don't fail or you'll be seen as stupid" thing happened anyway.... and still happens. On the other hand, I loved the concept of the growing mindset. A couple of months ago I joined a basketball team because it's a sport that I like and I wanted to exercise more. I'm still attending, but it takes me a lot of mental energy. Most of the girls have been playing for years, and I sometimes feel like a burden. But on the flipside, I enjoy most of the trainings. If I think it rationally, I can see that I've progressed a lot these months, taking into account that I had never played before. But the "not good enough me" is always there, wondering why the hell I thought joining a team where I was the only beginner was a good idea.
Anyway, sorry for this long comment 😂 but I wanted to thank you, Jade! The world needs more people like you💛 love from Argentina!
I love her so much❤️ she teaches me more than my own parents!
I failed my driving test this week and at first I was really disappointed and thought that I was just not good at driving, but next week I’m trying again and I hope that this time I’ll do better. I just didn’t have the experience yet :)
Thank you Jade, I'm always grateful of your genuine content.
Thank you so much for this encouraging video. i constantly feel like I will never excel in certain areas that I struggle with because I have a fixed mindset. It really takes just a mental change and your whole outlook on life shifts. All throughout high school I struggled with math and I had this mindset that said, "I'll never be good enough." I was always getting bad scores and my friends excelled in that area and my thing was music. I was so nervous to share my math scores with people afraid of their criticism. Now that I am graduated and I am going into community college, I don't want to have this mindset anymore. I want to take the courses I am doing with an open mindset. I don't want to think that they define who I am but I need to be more open minded to the challenges I face. if i fail, I look at it as a success because I learn something from the experience.
I love your channel and it is so inspiring. Keep doing videos like these. It's like having an older sister giving me advice. :)
When you talk about being so scared of failing because everyone assumes you always get perfect grades really hit home, i remember especially never really being able to be proud of my grades and the HARD work i did to get them but instead everyone assumed i got good grades without doing any work....so thank u i need to work on this
Thank you Jade. I actually feel motivated and also feel a lot of positive energy around now. You just gave me a message for life.
Can’t believe how much wisdom is packed in this video
NEEDED THIS SO BAD! I have huge teaching exam in feb and I have been trying to focus on creating a growth mindset !! Thank you for this!!
Well.....I was suffering from fixed mindset for so long. In short...I believed myself to be very intelligent..and I stopped trying and learning..it hit me real hard in college..and I became insecure of the slightest things...and go on a spiral of thoughts, without admitting the fact that I was wrong. Now I'm trying and coming in terms with the fact that I'm not intelligent enough. I'm trying and adapting growth mindset.
My advice for all is..it is hard..will be hard..but u r strong enough to overcome it.
Thanks for this vid just got my mocks back and was really disappointed with them, and I had that fixed mindset of I can’t do this subject, but now I know I just can’t do it yet 🤍
I relate to this video so much! I have always been a perfectionist in high school, i always wanted to get the best grades but going into uni, i saw that all this had to change! Thanks for this video❤️❤️
For me that one field is singing. I took others' views about my progress too personally and I became very insecure about myself when I got in an amazing, high-level choir. Suddenly I felt like an impostor there - I felt like I've got there by mistake, that I haven't got nearly as good voice as other girls in my voice group, I compared myself with others. But now, as the choral singing is suspended, I've got some time to think - and I'm gonna get to practice soon again after a well-needed break. To sing just for fun, for myself, to make my own personal progress! Cheers to growth! xo
Jade you've inspired me so much to start my own channel, after 3 years of considering I've finally done it!! ✨✨Would be so grateful if anyone watching this went and gave it some love 🥺
This is exactly what my PSHE teacher taught us about last Tuesday, damn, I get the hints, okay, I'll start trying to grow😂
As an education student, Carol Dweck’s Growth Mindset has been a total revelation for me. I too was the academic one in school and coming to university has really grounded me in understanding that intelligence and talent is not fixed. Thank you for highlighting this!
yesss, I've always said this!! Everyone puts a certain understanding on themselves consisting of words (I am an introvert, I am bad at sience subjects, I'm not sociable, the only thing I'm really good at is sports), but those words are such a misshaped model of you, because they're based on the past and they're words. You are so much more extensive than that.
Thank you Jade haha
you put this so well!!
@@UnJadedJade thank you (;
I really love this mindset! I like that you picked on the people around you have completely different experiences to you and that will help/hinder them in various ways too.
For example: I took Egyptology and I was like "I'll do hieroglyphs, I'm a visual learner, piece of cake" and I'm not even joking when I say the Egyptians literally switched their language up for the ~aesthetic~ and it was an absolute ball ache to learn.
However, everyone else was doing fine, understood it etc and we later found out it's because they had all taken the summer programme and had already gone through the little blue book. My knee jerk reaction is "that's not fair! That's cheating!" Which is an interesting one, unpack that later. But it's also really reassuring to know that okay I'm so far behind bc I don't have the leg up that the majority of the class has.
I did quit hieroglyphs and reduced my 50/50 split to 75/25 bc honestly even with the extra tutoring that I asked for, I couldnt keep up with the class and the lecturer wasn't going to slow it down for the 5 of us that hadn't done the summer programme.
However it was a really great learning experience bc it taught me that if I don't understand something literally everyone else does, it's probably bc they have a head start on the thing or something they've learnt previously is giving them a leg up on the thing
OMG!! I so connected to this video..I had always done well in school and feared looking or sounding dumb. That's why I think I deprived myself of so many opportunities thinking if I am not great at it, I should not do it. But I feel I have evolved now, I'm not v hard on myself and try to enjoy the learning process :))
For me it’s just consistently studying in all classes. I know if I studied enough I’d get as good grades as I’d want. But I don’t sometimes. I remember one of my first years of college there was this girl everyone compared themselves to because she was the highest standard. She always got the highest scores. When people said “omg you’re so smart!!” she would say over and over “no it’s not that it’s really just that I study so much. I study hours and hours and that’s the reason I get good grades. The content isn’t easy and if I didn’t study I would get really bad grades”. For some reason that made me feel so much better because I knew it was just a matter of applying myself.
I really like the video Jade, and it definitely boosted my confidence in terms of trying new ✨scary✨ things! In the Netherlands we have a term called ‘denken in hokjes’, which basically means placing people in fixed boxes with certain static (so not really nuanced) characteristics (like being introvert or being a sporty person). While people are actually more than just simple words attached to them. They don’t fit into the same boxes, because everyone is unique. People can be surprising, people can reach things they never thought they could do. And this is all by trying and believing that you can be everything. Try and believe you can do it, and you’re halfway there🔆
Mindset is everything 🥰
I’m in 2nd year of medical school, I’ve always thought that I wasn’t good at memorizing long paragraphs and that I only have a short term memory which will not allow me to do well academically and it has been frankly stressing me out therefore affecting my abilities to learn and work hard. I literally started thinking about back up plans for when I suddenly drop out and do something else I’m good at, give up my dream simply because it isn’t for me. One thing that’s been helping me tho is thinking about how many other people must’ve felt the same but never gave up. We all have a brain, some of us know how to use it efficiently, and I don’t YET. It’s such a pity that we like to limit our abilities and feel so intimidated by failures. Thank you Jade for this video ❤️
I agree with most of what you said, and it was a great video! But i was told my whole life that the reason i was bad at maths was because i was lazy and didn't try hard enough and it really put me down and made me have very low self esteem. But then at the age of 18 my maths teacher pulled me aside and made me take a test and i found out i have arithmetic disability/digit dyslexia. And then it finally made sense why i was so bad at maths. So yes work hard and you can do (almost) everything you put your mind too! but sometimes you have to think twice because there might be something else behind it :)
I was in such a bad place for the past few days because I felt like I am so behind with everything I need to know in order to pass an exam, but this actually helped. Thnak u.
Jade, your the RUclipsr that always makes me motivated to study, whenever I’m not motivated i always watch you, your the best!! ILYYY Jade! 😘
