‘If you never change your mind….why have one?’ - Edward De Bono

Room 14 have been thinking about the way we think. We have discovered that people can have a fixed mindset or a growth mindset. A growth mindset means you say “What can I do to improve?” instead of “This will do.” We have found out that when something is really hard, it is actually really good for our brains to keep going. We have been applying this thinking to cross country training and all our school work. It isn’t easy, but we know we can improve if we keep trying and are brave enough to make mistakes.
