Feedback Thoughts

This guy lives in my head (source)

That saturnine character at the top of the page is Anton Ego, food critic from the movie Ratatouille. I picked him because in the movie he's known for being extremely harsh, but his cold heart is softened at the end when he is humbled by the talent of Remy the rat, and he realizes that passion and work ethic are more important than the end result, because those two qualities will allow anyone, even a rat, to become a master.

I am my own worst critic, but I feel that my criticisms are fair. I may not achieve what I would have liked to, but as long as I feel that I learned and showed improvement I cant be too upset.

I chose to read Silence the Critical Voices in Your Head, and Fixed vs Growth Mindset at Work and in Life. The first article is about focusing on the positive to balance out the negative criticisms, lest you be driven insane. The second one is about viewing mistakes as learning experiences, rather than shameful failures.

That's all for today's analysis. Nitrodubbz out.

    Hi there, again. Good choice of articles. I read the first article you mentioned, and it I thought it was good also. Hopefully, something else to focus on, instead of negative thoughts. I did not read the second article you chose, but it sounds good! I like that you chose the food critic from Ratatouille as a sort of self-representation. haha, too funny! I think no matter ones age, Ratatouille is a classic. Thanks for sharing!

Introduction for NitroDubbz

image source Hello everyone. I am Nitrodubbz, the computer engineering student. You may know me from my other blog posts, such as: "my favorite place". The coolest thing about my major is how it makes companies want to hire me. Ideally if one of these companies wanted to pay me in exchange for my brainpower and hours of my life, I would just invest almost all of my income into real-estate and collect rent to supplement my income. Hopefully I move somewhere where housing is cheap, and the Federal Reserve's interest rates stay low.  I guess I'll talk about books now. I recently re-read Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. It is a pretty good book. The book is absurdist, filled with contradictions now known as Catch-22's, a term coined by the novel. These contradictions exist within the well-defined rules and command structure of the USAAF, the predecessor to the Air Force of today. The point being to highlight the weaknesses of a rigid military system, and to contr...

Week 7 Story: Art Girl Rescue Part 3

"Save me, Alex!" (source) After dispatching the patrols sent on his tail, Alex made his way back towards the outskirts of the village, to the compound of Samu Al-Hayeed. Moving under the cover of darkness, Alex dispatched guards and patrols using nothing but his combat knife.  Finally, Alex reached the perimeter of Samu's compound. The sandy flats surrounding the high wall of the compound were illuminated by blinding floodlights. Machine-gun emplacements flanked the front gate, and the wall was topped by barbed wire. But Alex knew that defenses are only as strong as their weakest link. He circled the compound, staying just out of the range of the floodlights, until he came to the utility pole that supplied the compound with all of its electricity. Alex reached into his rucksack and produced a satchel charge with a timer, the last of his explosives. He climbed to the top of the utility pole and set the charge, he then made his way back outside the entrance of th...
