“There is nothing good or bad but thinking makes it so” (3A)

While trying to read this quote and realize what Shakespeare’s meaning behind this quote I realized that everyone has control of his or her own outcome. By this I mean that if you think before acting you are able to control the outcome of a situation. For example, if you have a test in a class that you really want to get a good grade on and your entire floor is going out that night should you go out or stay in or study? If you think and do the right thing as to staying in and studying you would get a good grade but if you go out and don’t study your grade will be bad as to the outcome of the situation. From Shakespeare saying “There is nothing good or bad but thinking makes it so” he means that as long as you think before acting you can take control of the outcome of a situation.

Intrinsic Motivation vs Extrinsic Motivation:

Extrinsic motivation occurs when we are motivated to perform a behavior or engage in an activity in order to earn a reward or avoid a punishment.

Intrinsic motivation refers to motivation that comes from inside an individual rather than from any external or outside rewards, such as money or grades.

This quote relates to manly to extrinsic motivation. It relates to extrinsic motivation because you think before acting so you have a positive outcome. In extrinsic motivation you are able to control the outcome based on thinking before acting just like the quote by Shakespeare says. It does not relate to Intrinsic Motivation but it will come from inside you so your not going to think about the outcomes you are going to do what you want because you enjoy doing it.

Growth mindset vs. fixed mindset

In a fixed mindset, people believe their basic qualities, like their intelligence or talent, are simply fixed traits. They spend their time documenting their intelligence or talent instead of developing them. They also believe that talent alone creates success—without effort. They’re wrong.

In a growth mindset, people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work—brains and talent are just the starting point. This view creates a love of learning and a resilience that is essential for great accomplishment. Virtually all great people have had these qualities.

Fixed: Does not apply to the quote because fixed mindset people believe that what is done is done and that they cant not change anything.

Growth: Does apply to the quote because growth mindset people believe that they can get better so they will think about what they have to do to improve and see the positive outcome in the head.
