In the book

Begin with belief, because it sets the whole flight. There are, fundamentally, two mindsets a person can fly with. The fixed mindset believes your abilities are carved in stone — you have a fixed amount of intelligence and talent, and your whole life becomes a campaign to keep proving it. The growth mindset believes those abilities can be developed through effort, and so it runs toward challenge instead of away from it. — The Mind in the Cockpit

Everything in this chapter rests on a single discovery, and it is the most important idea I can hand you about your own potential. The psychologist Carol Dweck found that people carry one of two mindsets, and which one you carry quietly shapes your entire life. The first is the fixed mindset — the belief that your abilities and intelligence are carved in stone, that you are born with a certain amount and that is that. — Expanding Your Range (Growth/Change/Education/Learning/Habit)
