Here is my creation.

Week 11 Growth Mindset

Source

This week I want to talk about persistence.

Accumulation has an infinite power. What I read from my economic book is that accumulation of knowledge is the primary factor of economic growth in the past and in the foreseeable future. 

If my goal is to shake this world by coding skills, I think I need to practice millions of times. It looks scary; however, when we think about practice 100 times a day, one year means 36500 times. If I keep going, I will eventually become the 1% of programmers.

Week 11 Storytelling: A Man In Dog

Source

DAY 1

My name is Evan. I work in an IT company five days a week. My life is prosaic and I do not have a passion to find a girlfriend. I live with my dog Billy, and now I am a dog as well.

However I am actually a human whose soul is accidently swapped with my dog Billy.

It was a Monday morning; I woke up and found I was sleeping on the ground in the sitting-room.

“How could I?” I was very confused because I did remember I slept in my bedroom. Then I saw a man lied in front of me, watching me with his eyes wide with expectation of food.

“Wait! You are me! Do not lick me!” the man scared me and he was trying to lick me like my Billy does.

Billy, which is my dog in my body, was hungry. Suddenly he found the refrigerator and his instinct for food miraculously helped him to open the door.

“No, Billy. That is MY yogurt for breakfast!” I yelled to him but Billy stood up and ate my yogurt.

“Alas! My dog becomes me, and it eats my yogurt.” I was very upset. “My life is already hard, now it is even harder.”

“WAIT! Why am I thinking about yogurt? My current problem is why the hell I become a dog!” I quickly found the problem and forced me not to think like a dog.

DAY 2

I certainly did not go to work because I could not work in a dog body. I stayed in my house, thinking about how to switch back and playing with Billy. I must admit that the dog food tasted really good! I fed Billy with pasta and candy.

I tried to call my friends, asking them what to do if they become a dog. They could not help me because nobody became a dog before. Also I posted the question on Facebook and everybody thought I was insane or joking.

“It looks like I have to help myself as expected.” I was very frustrated.

“I still remember that Billy licked me once before I woke up.” I started thinking.

Then I tried to write; though my handwriting was horrible, people could read it.

“HELP! I BECOME A DOG!” I wrote this on paper and went out of my house with the paper in my mouth.

When I was walking on sideway, a rope unexpectedly looped my neck and I was caught by a masked gunman. He put me in a cage in his car and drove away.

“WTF! What is he doing? Why am I so unlucky?”

When I looked around and found there were several other cages in the car. I got a couple dog brothers in these cages. As I was thinking about how to communicate with them, a violent smash hit the car, and I lost consciousness for a while.

When I woke up, I found the cage was open. That was a fierce traffic accident. I jumped out of the car and found the car was burning.

“Damn it! I have to leave now because the car can explode at any moment.” I was running away very quickly because I did not want to die there. Moreover Billy still occupied my body. If I died here and my friends visit me, it would be a crazy thing I never wanted to think about.

I turned around when I thought I was at a safe distance. I was seeing a girl in another car; she was unconscious and bleeding on her head. I decided to save her because the girl in fact saved me from the man.

Author’s Note:

My idea is from the 6^th goblin from the TWENTY-TWO GOBLINS. In the original story, a woman mistakenly switched the heads of her husband and her brother. As a result she faces a problem that which man she should choose as her husband.

I picked the idea of switching, but I switch souls of a man and his dog. It would be really interest, so decided to write the story for up to four weeks.

Biography:

TWENTY-TWO GOBLINS

Reading Diary B: TWENTY-TWO GOBLINS 7th&8th

Today I read the 7th and the 8th goblins.

In the first story, a king was accidently dropped into a sea. However the king found in a beautiful city. I will not use this story because it is really boring. And the question goblin asked was not tricky.

In the second story, three brothers argued about whom of them are the cleverest one. A king gave them tests and all three of them passed the test easily. The king however thought the brother of cotton specialist is the cleverest one. I do not agree; I think the woman specialist is the best one.

Reading Diary A: TWENTY-TWO GOBLINS 5th&6th

I read the 5th and the 6th goblins today.

For the first story, I think King's point is that the one who takes the most risk deserves the girl. The clever man and the wise man are only assistants of the brave man.

The second story is short, but it really gives me a hard choice. Lovely accidentally switches the heads of her husband and her brother, so the question is which one of them should be her husband. I agree with the king's point and I may pick this as my storytelling this week.
