 A Fixed Mindset Could Be Holding You Back

    I think that this article is quite relevant to me. While I don't necessarily think that I'm always right or always the best at something, I often do get stuck on one idea or method, and rarely revise. I think that having a growth mindset is extremely important when it comes to writing because you will always make mistakes and there will always be a better way to word something. In creative writing, it is important to be able to accept criticism and learn from it.


How To Overcome Perfectionism

    Perfectionism is something that I have struggled with for a long time. Firstly, I am OCD. Not just in the "Every painting has to be straight" kind of way, but truly OCD. So being a perfectionist has impacted many areas of my life. Also, I grew up doing very competitive gymnastics. I think that my time doing gymnastics definitely conditioned my brain to always strive for perfection and efficiency. Now, this isn't always a setback. When I am able to meet my own standards, my work is typically very good, and I am happy about it. However, I do have a hard time with failure. I think that this article had some really helpful advice on dealing with these issues.

Introduction to Jacob the Entrepreneur

 My name is Jacob and I am a Sophomore majoring in Economics. I'm from the Texas Hill country (a place called Bulverde, just north of San Antonio) however I was born in El Paso.

Originally, I had planned on majoring in Biology and eventually (hopefully) going to medical school. But my interests rapidly changed over my freshman year at OU. Growing up, I had always been very close to my Dad and I looked up to him in many ways. He was a very hard worker and an entrepreneur. His most successful business was, and is, a custom home company named J Taylor Custom Homes, named after me (also check us out at JTaylorCustomHomes.com ). As I ...

Reading Notes: Epified - Mahabharata Part F

Ep 48 - Krishna Meets the Pandavas          News about the defeat of the Pandavas in the gambling match made it to Krishna. He left to meet the Pandavas in the forest. He was upset that he hadn't been available to help the Pandavas because he was protecting Dwarka. Krishna urged the Pandavas to fight the Kauravas and take back their kingdom. They did not agree.      The reason Krishna was not able to be there for the Pandavas is that Dwarka was being attacked by King Shalva. Krishna ended the war when he used his Sudarshan Chakra to decapitate Shalva.  Ep 49 - Arjun Receives Shiva's Weapon     Krishna blesses the Pandavas and promises his allegiance. The Pandavas were struggling with little resources. Many sages came and gave them knowledge while living in the forest. Ved Vyasa came to visit the Pandavas. He told Arjun that he needed to acquire Indra's and Shiva's celestial weapons in order to win the war. Arjun left for the Himalay...
