Well, as you already know from the title, it was another successful week with the [**Jadu Fellowship**](https://jadujobs.com/) program. Many interesting things have happened since the last week. And despite being busy with the semester’s final exams, I enjoyed my sessions!

Starting with the **week’s first session** , things have started to get more interesting. We started with some basic stuff like **CSS properties** and how to include them in your **web pages**. But then we took a deep into the **CSS** world. We started discussing the **CSS flex-box** and **how to align items** in different ways. We also learned about different kinds of **CSS selectors** and many cool tricks that we can use in our **style-sheet** to get some interesting results.

If you have done some **web development** , then you may know that styling different things with **CSS** is not so simple. We have to take care of a lot of things to make it **look and feel more appealing**. And that was something that always bothered me whenever I thought about getting involved with some **web projects**. It’s not so difficult when you look at it, but it gets very **tricky** when you try to do some real styling, **as there are many ways to get the same results!** And that’s something that makes it **more confusing for me**. But man, I just loved how [**Arslan Khattak**](https://www.khattak.dev/) has explained everything so far. **I mean, yeah,** he knows how to make it work! I enjoyed these technical sessions with him.

We also had **our very first web project!** For which we have a make a simple **portfolio/intro** web page using everything we’ve learned so far during our sessions and put the **source code** of that project on a [**GitHub**](https://github.com) **repository**. Now, that’s something that I am also very excited about!

On the other side, there was another session of one of my favorites [**Saad Hamid**](https://twitter.com/SaadGH). The topic for the session was **Growth Mindset**. We saw **why it is important** and **how it compares with the Fixed Mindset** by discussing many real-world examples. We discussed **how it gives you a more clear vision** of looking at things and how it stops you from being lazy and start being **productive**. It was very enlightening. And man, **I just love** the way this guy explains these things!

**There was a lot that I have to process about this session.** Every single word was full of valuable information! I mean, having a fixed mindset is something that **I noticed about myself** in many situations and maybe some of you might have that feeling as well about yourself. And after that session, **I am trying to learn more about myself** and **how I think** in different situations to analyze myself. I am actively trying to get rid of the **Fixed mindset** behaviors to make myself think out of the box and **be productive** in my life overall!

> I am trying to be more active in my overall learning but having some distractions due to my ongoing exams. But still, I must say that I am learning a lot from these sessions and I am thankful to [**Jadu Team**](https://jadujobs.com/) for allowing me to be a part of such an amazing community! ❤
