Growth Mindset
- Intelligence can be developed
- Embrace challenges
- Persist in the face of setbacks

Fixed Mindset
- Intelligence is static
- Avoid challenges
- Give up easily
- See effort as fruitless or worse
- Ignore useful negative feedback
- Feel threatened by the success of others. As a result, they may plateau early and achieve less than their full potential. All of this confirms a deterministic view of the world.
