Hard work won't help.
He's just smarter than I am.
Mistakes are a great way to learn.
If I don't try, at least I won't make a mistake.
I am so good at this.
I should try a different strategy.
I'm going to have to think through this once more carefully.
When other kids do well, I am inspired
I give up.
Tomorrow I will get a fresh look at this.
I am working really hard at this.
If I get it wrong, people will think I'm stupid.
I'm never going to get this.
Making mistakes just means I haven't learned something yet.
This will be challenging but I'll keep at it.
This is too hard.
I'm on the right track.
I am jealous when other kids do well.
My work effort helps me learn.
I've never been good at this anyway.
