In the book

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 difference is not small; the fixed-mindset pilot avoids the hard maneuvers, gives up when it gets steep, and treats every failure as a verdict on his worth, while the growth-mindset pilot treats the same failure as information. — The Mind in the Cockpit
