Give me an example of a fixed mindset and a growth mindset.
Fixed: I'm good at it/not, I'll never change, When I'm frustrated I'll give up, I'll never change, I don't like to try new things because I might fail, I take feedback as criticism
Growth: I can learn anything, failure is an opportunity to grow, my brain and behavior can change, I can learn new things, practice makes better, feedback is constructive and helps me grow
