This was for you to know how the world out there will treat you. You can see that I correctly answered the first 9 times, but none of you congratulated me for it, or said great job, but you all laughed and criticized me because of the one wrong thing I did.<br>So&#8230; the lesson&#8230;:<br>The world may not appreciate the good you do a million times, and may point out the one wrong thing you do&#8230; But don\u2019t get discouraged.  Work on what you can control, which is your own behavior and how you react to things.  Make sure to congratulate people often and not focus on the negative. Take time to support the people around you and spread a little love and laughter in the process!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Follow up from Wednesday SIW<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"757\" height=\"717\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/elkmeadow\/files\/2023\/11\/Screenshot-2023-11-12-at-9.25.10\u202fPM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-157\" style=\"width:468px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/elkmeadow\/files\/2023\/11\/Screenshot-2023-11-12-at-9.25.10\u202fPM.png 757w, https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/elkmeadow\/files\/2023\/11\/Screenshot-2023-11-12-at-9.25.10\u202fPM-300x284.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 757px) 100vw, 757px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These three concentric circles represent the 3 zones I talked about on Wednesday.&nbsp; The inner circle is the Comfort Zone where you&#8217;re not learning you&#8217;re doing stuff you already know<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The middle circle is the Stretch Zone where you should feel uncomfortable.
