Attitude Continuum

People can improve at anything if they work hard enough at it

Making mistakes is embarrassing so it's best to be sure of the answer before continuing.

If someone has to try hard at something, it's because they don't have a natural talent and they are wasting their time.

Most successful people have created their own luck

If someone knows a project will be a challenge, as it doesn't suit their style of working, it's best to find something else to work on.
