Fixed mindset vs Growth mindset People in a fixed mindset believe you either are or aren’t good at something, based on your inherent nature, because it’s just who you are.
People in a growth mindset believe anyone can be good at anything, because your abilities are entirely due to your actions.
The fixed mindset is the most common and the most harmful, because you may get to be better but you still haven’t considered how this affects you and your life.
For example:
In a fixed mindset, you believe: “She’s a natural born singer” or “I’m just no good at dancing.” In a growth mindset, you believe: “Anyone can be good at anything. Skill comes only from practice. I can do it!”

In a fixed-m, you stick with what you know to keep up your confidence.In a growth-m, you keep up your confidence by always pushing into the unfamiliar, to make sure you’re always learning.
In a fixed mindset, failures define you.In a growth mindset, failures are temporary setbacks.
