…if you want to encourage yourself<br />

and others to fulfil your potential<br />

Ever faced a situation where you<br />

felt like the work or assignment<br />

you have is just too hard?<br />

Education specialist Carol Dweck<br />

has studied why some kids rise up<br />

to meet challenges while others<br />

give up before even attempting<br />

to solve a problem. If you want<br />

to learn how to be an overcomer,<br />

this video explains the mindset<br />

you need to have. The content<br />

is really helpful, but what makes<br />

the video even cooler is that it’s<br />

animated. The cartoon-style<br />

drawings make complex terms<br />

simpler, but also make the video<br />

super fun to watch.<br />

…if you hope to reduce<br />

incidents of bullying<br />

When Caitlin Haacke was<br />

in Grade 11, someone broke<br />

into her school locker. They<br />

got onto her Facebook via<br />

her iPad and posted hateful<br />

things, including a wish that<br />

she would die. While this<br />

was an awful experience,<br />

Caitlin decided to deal<br />

with it through kindness<br />

rather than anger. She<br />

wrote loads of kind sayings<br />

and affirmation on notes,<br />

and put these up all over<br />

her school. In an inspiring<br />

TedXTeen talk, Caitlin<br />

shares how her experience<br />

led to the Positive Post-<br />

It Campaign which hopes<br />

to reduce bullying by<br />

spreading kindness.<br />
