A book review of Grit by Angela Duckworth. There is the famous quote from Thomas Edison that genius is one percent inspiration and ninety nine percent perspiration. Grit is the perspiration part.
A paper on Getting Unstuck, and various strategies for doing that. The part of this I found most interesting is where the student talked about writing a bunch of silly programs that weren't assigned but did get the student familiar with the issues that would be confronted in doing the assigned program.
A very long letter I wrote to Carol Dweck. This letter has quite a lot about my philosophy of education and details where I have issues with Duckworth and Dweck.
A website on Abraham Maslow. I really liked the discussion that begins with the section on self-actualization, along with the list of features that a self-actualizer exhibits. It seems like a very good list to aspire to.
