mindset?

English is fun. That is also a mindset.

>> Okay. So, Paul, mindset. How we think.
>> Yes. You said English is hard is a mindset.
mindset.
>> Yes. Let's call this the stuck mindset.
>> Stuck. What does that mean?
>> Stuck is when you cannot move. You are
in one place. Ah yes I feel stuck
sometimes. I feel my English is not
getting better.
>> Yes that is the feeling. The stuck
mindset says I am bad at this or I will
never learn.
>> Oh yes those are sad thoughts.
>> They are and when you think those
thoughts you want to
>> stop. Exactly. You want to stop
learning. You feel bad.
>> So this stuck mindset is not good.
>> No. But there is another mindset.
>> A better one.
>> Yes. A much better one. We can call it
the growing mindset.
>> A growing mindset. Like a plant. A plant grows.
grows.
Yes, that is a perfect picture, Paul. A
plant starts small and it grows bigger
every day.
>> Okay, I like this. A growing mindset,
what does it say?
>> The stuck mindset says I am bad at this.
>> And the growing mindset,
>> the growing mindset says I am learning
this. Ah
I am bad versus I am learning.
>> Yes it feels different right?
>> Very different. I am bad feels finished
but I am learning feels hopeful.
>> Hopeful. What a great word. Yes. The
growing mindset says this is new for me.
This is hard but I can try.
>> Yes, you are a great student Paul.
>> I am trying. So the first step is to see
our thoughts.
>> Yes. Are your thoughts stuck or are they growing?
growing?
>> Okay. But Emily, how do I change my
thoughts? If I feel I am bad, how do I
stop that?
>> That is the big question. I have a magic
word for you.
>> A magic word. I love magic.
>> It is a very small word. The word is yet.
yet.
>> Yet. Ye t.
>> Yes. Yet.
>> Hm. I know that word. It means like not
now but maybe later.
>> Exactly. It means for now. It is a word
of hope.
>> Okay. So, how do I use this magic word?
>> Okay. Let's take a stuck thought for
example. I do not understand.
>> Oh, yes. I think that in every English movie.
movie.
I do not understand.
>> Me too. Now add the magic word at the end.
end.
>> I do not understand yet. Yes. How does
that feel?
>> Wow, that feels so different. >> Right.
>> Right.
>> I do not understand means I am lost.
Stop the movie. >> Yes.
>> Yes.
>> But I do not understand yet means I just
need more time. Maybe tomorrow I will understand.
understand.
>> Yes, it means you are on the journey.
You are growing.
>> Okay, let's try another one. Okay, how
about I cannot speak English fluently.
>> Oh, that is a big one. Okay, I cannot
speak English fluently yet. >> Yes,
>> Yes, perfect.
perfect.
>> This is fun. It's true. I am learning. I
am not fluent yet.
>> But you will be or you will be better.
The yet opens the door for the future.
>> It takes the sad feeling away.
>> It does. It changes a stuck thought into
a growing thought.
>> This is a great tip, Emily. The magic
word yet. I will remember that.
>> Good. Okay. So, that is tip number one.
Now, let's talk about something else.
>> What? Let's talk about mistakes. >> Gh
>> Gh
mistakes. I hate mistakes.
>> I know. Everyone hates mistakes. When
you make a mistake, how do you feel?
>> I feel stupid. I feel shy. I feel bad.
>> Yes, me too. We all feel that. This is
the stuck mindset again. Oh. So, what
does the growing mindset think about mistakes?
mistakes?
>> The growing mindset loves mistakes.
>> What loves mistakes? Emily, no. That is
crazy. Mistakes are bad.
>> No. Listen. Listen. Think about a small
child. A baby.
>> Okay. A baby.
>> Think about a baby learning to walk.
>> Oh, yes. My little cousin Mia, she's one
year old. She is learning to walk now.
>> Is she good at it? Does she walk perfectly?
perfectly?
>> No, she is very bad at it. She stands up
and boom, she falls down.
>> Yes, she falls all the time.
>> All the time.
>> Now, Paul, when Mia falls down, what do
you say to her? Oh, we laugh and we say,
"Good job, Mia. Try again. You can do it."
it."
>> Exactly. Do you say, "Mia, you are
stupid. You are bad at walking. Stop trying."
trying."
>> No, never. That is terrible.
>> Of course, because why did she fall?
>> Because she is learning.
>> Yes. The fall is part of learning. The
mistake is how she learns.
>> Ah, I see. When she falls, her brain
learns. Oh, okay. That did not work. I
must try a different way.
>> Yes. Yes. Yes. You got it.
>> So, learning English is like learning to walk.
walk.
>> It is exactly the same. When you make a
mistake in English,
>> I am not stupid.
>> No, you are learning.
>> I am falling.
>> Yes, you are falling and it is okay. A
mistake is not bad. A mistake is just information.
information. >> Information.
>> Information.
>> Yes. Your brain says, "Oh, that word was
not right." Okay, I will try a new word.
>> Yes, you must be a good friend to
yourself. When you make a mistake, say
it's okay. I am learning. I am like baby Mia.
Mia.
>> I like that so much. Mistakes are our
friends. Yes, they show us that we are
trying and trying is the most important part.
part.
>> Wow. Okay, my mindset is changing. >> Good.
>> Good.
>> So, I have the magic word yet and
mistakes are my friends. But Emily, it
is still a lot of work. Learning English
is a big big big job.
>> It is. It is like a very tall mountain.
>> Yes. And I am at the bottom. I look up
at the top of the mountain and I feel tired.
tired.
>> Ah. Yes. That is a big problem. So my
next tip is >> Yes.
>> Yes.
>> Don't look at the top of the mountain.
>> What? But that is the goal.
>> It is. But it is too big. It makes you
feel small. Don't look at the top. Just
look at your feet.
>> My feet?
>> Yes. Look at the next step. Just one
small step.
>> I don't understand.
>> Okay. Don't say I must learn all English today.
today. >> Impossible.
>> Impossible.
>> Yes. Don't say I must study for 5 hours.
That is too big.
>> Yes, I am too busy.
>> Instead, say today I will learn two new words.
words.
>> Two words. Just two.
>> Yes, two words is perfect.
>> I can do that. Dog and cat.
>> Good job. Or say today I will listen to
one English song.
>> One song. That's easy. That's three minutes.
minutes.
>> Yes. Or today I will watch one Mr.
English podcast episode.
>> A very good idea.
>> Yes. Small steps every day. This is how
you change your life.
>> You know, this makes me think of a small story.
story.
>> Ooh, a story. Tell me.
>> There was a man. He wanted to build a
very big, beautiful, long wall.
>> Okay, a big wall.
>> He looked at the big empty space. He
thought, I can never build this wall. It
is too much work. He was very sad.
>> Oh no, the stuck mindset.
>> Yes. But then his wise old friend came.
>> Hello wise friend.
>> And the friend said you are right. You
cannot build this big wall.
>> What? That is not helpful.
>> The friend said do not try to build a wall.
wall.
>> But I want the wall. The friend said,
"Just look at this one brick."
>> One brick.
>> Yes. Your job today is not to build a
wall. Your job today is to lay one brick perfectly.
perfectly.
>> Just one brick.
>> Yes. So the man did. He laid one brick.
It was perfect.
>> And the next day
>> he laid one more brick perfectly.
>> And the next day
>> one more brick.
>> And after many, many days
>> he had his big beautiful long wall.
>> Paul, that is a perfect story.
He did not build a wall. He just laid
one brick every day.
>> So our two new words that is our one brick.
brick.
>> Yes. Our one song that is our one brick.
>> Wow. We are not learning English today.
We are just laying one brick.
>> Yes. And soon we will look back and see
a beautiful wall.
>> Paul, I feel so motivated.
>> Me too.
I want to go lay a brick.
>> Yes. This is the growing mindset. It is
not about being perfect today. It is
about being a little better than yesterday.
yesterday.
>> Yes, it is about the journey.
>> Wow, Emily, this was a great chat.
>> It was. And look at the time. It went so fast.
fast.
>> Time flies when you are laying bricks.
>> Yes. So, let's remember our three big
ideas for a growing mindset.
>> Okay. Idea number one, change your stuck
thoughts to growing thoughts.
>> Yes, I am bad is stuck. I am learning is growing.
growing.
>> Idea number two, use the magic word
>> yet. I am not good yet.
>> I love that.
>> Me too. And idea number three,
>> mistakes are our friends.
They are like falling when we learn to
walk. It is okay.
>> Yes. And our bonus idea.
>> Don't build the wall. Just lay one
brick. Take one small step every day.
>> That was great. Thank you, Paul.
