- Wont chase dreams in order to satisfy others
Resisting Socialization - correct answer ✔- Must do in order to dream big
- Resist people telling you to be more realistic
Ex: Vaughn Walwyn: resisted socialization when people tried to calm him
down and be more realistic
- people who criticize others lives complain, the people who don't listen to
them succeed
Dreams (And the American Dream) - correct answer ✔Dream: not a goal, a
feeling that sticks and propels
- best dreams are unrealistic
American Dream: The original American Dream transformed lives because it
was fundamentally about PURPOSE Today, the concept of the American
Dream is contributing to things like divorce and depression because it has
morphed into being fundamentally about MONEY.
Commitment - correct answer ✔- a special kind of thinking (like confidence)
- to be truly committed something must wire you
Rowing like Pigs - correct answer ✔Row like pigs is a student-made film
about the 2003 Dartmouth men's team and is considered to be one of the
better rowing documentaries out there
- Ham and eggs at breakfast
, - The chicken and pig both made contributions to the plate
- Row like pigs and make contributions to the team-go all in
Grit - correct answer ✔According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, grit in
the context of behavior is defined as "firmness of character; indomitable
spirit." Duckworth, based on her studies, tweaked this definition to be
"perseverance and passion for long-term goals."
Goals and Goal Setting - correct answer ✔Goals: steps to get from Point A
to Point B
While goal setting can be a useful short-term tool, it limits you to reaching only
point B, with your mind fixed on external results. Such short-term planning
gets you thinking too mathematically— setting timetables, measuring your
progress, always thinking about the next step (don't need them!)
Being Realistic - correct answer ✔a justification for negative thinking
-No dream is impossible or realistic
Intrinsic & Extrinsic Motivation - correct answer ✔Daryl Siedentop's garden
was getting destroyed by boys playing football. Instead of getting mad at
them, he told them that every day they came out to play he would give them
each a dollar. They were excited initially and came out to play everyday, and
then slowly came less and less and eventually stopped coming altogether.
Their initial motivation for playing football was because it was fun. They had
intrinsic motivation and they played simply because they enjoyed it. Once
Sidentop started paying them, he changed their motivation to extrinsic
motivation. They started showing up not because it was fun, but because they
wanted their dollar. Siedentop's conclusion was "Commitment that is
personally driven is stronger and more enduring than commitment hinging
upon outside rewards." Your heart needs to be in it for you to truly succeed.
