Why waste time proving how great you are when you could be getting better. #4 The belief that you can develop great qualities in yourself creates a passion for learning. The growth mindset is the belief that your qualities are things you can cultivate through your efforts and strategies. #3 The fixed mindset is the belief that your qualities are fixed, and you can only be as smart as your intelligence allows you to be. Today, most experts agree that it’s not fixed, and that people can change and improve their intelligence through experience, training, and personal effort. #2 The debate over whether intelligence is fixed or not has been going on for centuries.

The film will be directed by Emmy and BAFTA-nominated director Bharat Nalluri (“The Man Who Invented Christmas,” “Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day”). The Return of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle has been reviewed by Focus on the Family’s marriage and parenting magazine. It's clear that this segment wasn't written by Dickens, instead completed by the scriptwriter. What a shame, then, that the second part just doesn't hold up. Kudos too for the familiar character actors fleshing out more minor roles: Julia McKenzie, Ian McNeice and Alun Armstrong all acquit themselves well, and Rory Kinnear (FIRST MEN IN THE MOON) seems to be going from strength to strength. It's split into two instalments, and the first does admirably well in setting up the chessboard of characters: Matthew Rhys (BROTHERS AND SISTERS) is great as the sweaty and sinister Jack Jasper. My viewing of this one benefited from not having read the famously incomplete story that Dickens died during writing. The hilarious scenes involving churchyard urchin Deputy are alone better than anything in that other awful production. The good news is that it's a damn sight better than GREAT EXPECTATIONS, being noticeably more 'Dickensian' in feel, with plenty of amusingly monkeyed supporting characters.
