“I’m so disappointed in myself” or “I wish I could’ve just done better,” are common things we say to ourselves after a period of perceived failure. Our feelings of sadness, anger, or even regret are completely valid at this time. It’s easy to get tunnel vision and only recognize the bad that comes out of failure, but it’s also important to empathize with yourself.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science!

One of the best pieces of advice I ever received from a mentor was to always expect the unexpected. It wasn’t so much that I should be prepared for any possible unexpected event. It was just to understand that they could pop up at any time. The advice was really all about mindset. If you’re always ready for surprises you’ll end of being a lot less surprised.

For many young people (myself included), our lives are increasingly digital. We spend hours a day, for better or for worse, on our phones scrolling through our TikTok For You Page, liking Instagram posts of both our classmates and celebrities, and swiping through Snapchat stories. Although these can be great platforms for keeping up with old friends and memorializing important life moments, they can also be hubs for misinformation, hate speech, and a catalyst for self-doubt.

But there is a time for indifference in our lives and successful, happy people know when to use it. They’ve mastered the discipline of being indifferent to the things, circumstances, and situations in life that make no difference.
