, FIXED VS. GROWTH
MINDSET
A Fixed Mindset is the idea that I am who I am and there is nothing I can do to
change that. I was born a certain way and I avoid challenges.
Ex: I am not good at math.
A Growth Mindset is the idea that I can work hard and dedicate myself to be
whoever I want to be and do whatever I want to do. I can always work on myself
and learn from others.
Ex: I need to put in extra time to study my math.
