Is this worth my hippocampus?
That's one mindset.
The other mindset is growth mindset versus fixed mindset.
A fixed mindset means, you know, other people are smarter and I'm not as smart as A and B or other people have better memories and I don't have as much.
And a growth mindset is I can be good at anything.
I have the brain, which is healthy and I can learn anything.
I can learn languages.
I can learn ski.
I can learn to cook.
I can learn to be a comedian.
I can do anything.
