Intelligence is not fixed!

Just read this article in between studies and find it an urge to share here as a reminder again and again.  Buat diri yang lupa.  Haish. 

You might think it is for your kids but in fact for you yourself.  Because an adult always forgot what they learnt when they are small.  Just saying.  I laaa actually.  Sobss. 

Some snippet of the article.  The link is at the end. 

"The message: The brain is like a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it gets. The way you exercise your brain is by embracing challenges, practicing skills, learning new things. As Khan puts it, "the brain grows most by getting questions wrong, not right."

Which is why, when my toddler was trying to snap her own buckle, I needed to encourage her to take on the challenge by saying, "Almost!" and "Try again" instead of "Here, let me do that for you."

"If society as a whole begins to embrace the struggle of learning, there is no end to what that could mean for global human potential," Khan writes."

So dear myself,

Given that your final exam is less than 72 hours,  please keep on challenge yourself.  Keep on trying! Remember,  as a Muslim you have been taught on being  the best,  and leave it the rest to Allah.  So,  be the best first! Never take for granted.  Jangan perasan hebat laaa.  Duhhhh.  Lols.  You can do this! Learn from the mistakes.  Don't shut your brain down. Don't let it freeze. Keep on moving.  This is just another exam.  Keep calm and study! Take the challenge! Ignore what other people say.  Abaikan mereka.  Do your best.  Intelligence is not fixed.  Allah bagi apa usaha dan doa kita.  So,  just do it!

Regards,
Me.
