Growth Mindset

I had never heard of Carol Dweck or the growth mindset before watching the ted talk. I can relate to the growth mindset in terms of film making. Past films I have made are hard to look on because of the scrutiny and advice I've received from teachers in my time learning at the University of Oklahoma. If I look at old films and current film I am making as a step towards greatness instead of a step towards failure I am more likely to create more films with the idea of growth in mind rather than skill. I may be more interested in learning more if there are aspects of growth mindset that can help me learn better.

Learning about the character of them but also their feats or arrogance in these stories seems like a fun idea. I think all three of them are connected in a way and I could probably do something really cool to show that link. Vali The Monkey Kings from Wikimedia  2) Creation stories ! I'm not yet familiar with some of the creation stories in Indian Epics, but I think it would be cool learn about them.

Specifically their origins and possibly their most epic feats, whether creation or a certain...
