When you’re learning and developing any skill, it’s better to have a growth mindset, than a fixed mindset. Talent and natural ability do matter. But your attitude towards failure and setbacks are more critical.  There are two modes of learning theories: entity versus incremental theories of intelligence.   Entity theorists think, "I am smart at this." Success or failure is based on an ingrained ability. Intelligence or skill is a fixed entity.  Incremental theorists think, "I got it because I worked hard.” Success or failure depends on effort.
