Why so serious?
Instead of...
...I'm not good at this - try thinking what am I missing?
...This is too hard - try thinking this may take some time and effort.
...I can't make this any better - try thinking I can always improve and will keep trying.
...I can't do math - try thinking I'm going to train my brain in math.
...I made a mistake - try thinking mistakes help me improve.
...It's good enough - try thinking is this really my best work?
Senior Throw Back!
