Growth-Mindset

Grwoth Mindset for me is the ability to adapt to any changes and obstacles that I may experience.

This pandamic for instance is one big oppurtunity for those who thing big and difference!

I started my learning journey of coding last year during the lockdown, but I started it alone with bunch of online courses on Udemy and other websites. But I needed the guideness and someone to show me the right path and track and help me along the way when needed.

I know many of people who lost their mind not only their jobs to the pandamic, and they didn’t do anything but waiting this to be over in a hope they will be back to their jobs. Well, that’s not what I did.

I kept and will always keep reminding myself of how to maintain this growth mindest unitl it become a part of my personality. I will mention some of the positive tricks that I’m using as reminders:

1. I Value the process over the end result.

As Greg Anderson once said:

Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.

2. I View challenges as opportunities.

Another quote by Ralph Marston:

If you so choose, challenges can make you stronger. If you so choose, the disappointments can make you more determined.

3. I Use the word “yet”

Last but not least, Carol Dweck once said:

Picture your brain forming new connections as you meet the challenge and learn. Keep on going.

I used to say “I don’t get it” “I can’t do this” “This isn’t working” but each time I face one of these situations I started to stop myself and say: Take a deep breath, Go for a walk, then come back and add this simple 3 letter word to your sentences:

I don’t get it YET

I can’t do it this YET

This isn’t working YET

### well, that has been said, let me introduce myself properly. My name is Mohammad Basheer, also known as Mohammad Alkiswani. I left behind a journey of 14 years in the FMCG and the industrial world to pursue another target in the coding world. And here is a link to my GitHub profile page:
