True, learning is fun, exhilarating and gratifying, but it is also daunting, exhausting, and sometimes discouraging.”—Angela Duckworth FIXEDGROWTH ABILITYNeeds to be proven; ability just there, can’t be developed Ability can be developed through learning FEEDBACKOnly interested in feedback about ability; not interested in suggestions for change or growth Most interested in feedback that will aid learning; suggestions for growth appreciated LEARNINGOnly likes safe, sure topics; motivated by goals Likes it when things get more challenging; motivated by mastery
