Reading the feedback gallery was extremely helpful and gave me some exact ideas and examples of the kind of feedback I need to be giving to be the most productive. When reading " Five reasons to Stop Saying Good Job " it was very interesting to see the ways that good job can provide manipulation to young children. I had never thought about the ways that when we give compliments it sometimes for our own self rather than the person that is doing the good deed. Also telling someone "good job" can make someone feel as if they succeeded even if in their mind they did not. When I read " Why Do So Many Managers Avoid Giving Praise " I understood that many managers struggle with giving feedback at all because sometimes giving negative feedback can be difficult but many do not realize that positive feedback creates many positive outcomes. Many times the idea of corrective feedback is overestimated, only negative feedback leads to a diminishing effectiveness. The mo...

Karma : I have always been fascinated by karma, i know a little about it but not much. If I did a story about karma it would have lots of action and talk about how karma effects different people in their lives. I like the idea of making it like a courthouse where Karma has to judge what the people have done and give them a consequence accordingly. With this story I would try and focus on different people's lives and what karma has done in them. Krishna : Krishna is the supreme God, I do not know much at all about Krishna but I think it would be very interesting to learn about him and research his stories. He can be known as a prankster so i would do a story focusing on that, he also is known as a hero and a lover so i would try and bring those aspects of him into his stories. I would make all of these stories through different phases of his life, like when he was a boy to when he is an adult. Reincarnation : Reincarnation has always been super interesting to me, i dont know ...

I think feedback is a great thing that can help one grow and learn from mistakes. Feedback offers outside opinions different than your own and often feedback helps you see another perspective. It is okay to not do everything perfect all of the time, if that were the case you would never learn and grow. If we never experience failure then it would be impossible for one to learn new things and and have a good mindset. Having a fixed mindset is not good and it can result in someone being stuck with the same intelligence, with little opportunity to learn more. Having a growth mindset sets you up to continue to learn, adapt and excel in the workplace. An environment with a growth mindset mentality is one that will have the most growth. It is important to change your mindset from fixed to growth. Self-doubt is another debilitating state that can leave one going backwards instead of growing and moving forward. It is important to not compare yourself to others, you are as smart as you let your...
