"I changed my mind"- a good thing
I recently read a book called Little Bets. In it the author talked about the difference between a fixed and a growth mindset.

What this leads to is a desire to look smart
Once you perceive yourself as smart you have a a tendency to
2. Avoid challenges where you can fail
And when confronted by difficult obstacles a fixed mindset person will
3. Give up easily
Because a fixed mindset person sees
4. Effort as fruitless or worse
So when given criticism, even constructive criticism,
5. They will ignore the useful negative feedback

6. They feel threatened by the success of others
As a result
7. They may plateau early and achieve less than their full potential
All this confirms a deterministic view of the world.
