did not make his varsity team in high school and missed over 9,000 shots in his career. He viewed these failures as the reason for his success, stating, "Failure gave me strength, and my pain was my motivation"
Michael Jordan
Interconnected networks of nerve fibers (neurons) transmit electrical impulses throughout the central nervous system, acting as the brain's communication highway. The path gets used more and more things get easier.
Neural Pathways
The creation of new and stronger connections in the brain.
What is Learning
I need to talk to my teacher to understand what I need to do, to get better at french.
Growth Mindset.
Sticking with something even when it's hard. Not giving up after the first try or failure. Having the determination to keep practicing and improving.
Persistence and Grit

Walt Disney

Hippocampus
Repeating behaviors strengthens specific neural pathways, making those actions faster and more automatic.
Doing something more and more you become better at it.
Habit Formation
Growth Mindset
Listening to feedback without getting defensive. Understanding that constructive criticism helps you improve. Asking questions to understand how to do better.

Lionel Messi
specialized junctions in the brain where neurons (nerve cells) communicate with each other, passing electrical or chemical signals to facilitate brain function.
Synapse
When learning a new skill, neurons form new connections to store the information.
Learning and Memory
Fixed mindset.
Hard work and practice make you better.
Talent alone isn't enough - you need to put in the work.
Every expert was once a beginner who didn't give up.
a path to Mastery
Steve Jobs
Neurons that send and receive information from the brain
Dendrites and Axions
the biological process by which new neurons (nerve cells) are produced in the brain from neural stem cells.
Neurogenesis
I am not naturally talented but I believe I can work hard at it I can do it.
Growth Mindset
Celebrating when classmates succeed instead of feeling jealous. Learning strategies and techniques from people who are good at something. Understanding that someone else's success doesn't take away from your own potential.
