Fixed mindset -- “You have a certain amount of intelligence and cannot do much to change it.”
Growth mindset -- “[W]e can get better at almost anything, provided we invest the necessary time and energy.”
A fixed mindset and a growth mindset are not mutually exclusive beliefs.
As I see it there are three dependent factors in accomplishing a complex task:
1.) intelligence -- raw computational power (impacted minimally by sleep/diet/use)
2.) knowledge -- data stored regarding a given task (impacted immensely by attention/research/exposure)
3.) wisdom -- the application of 1 on 2 (impacted greatly by experience/composure/analysis)
Knowledge, and to a lesser extent wisdom, can come as a result of investing time and energy. Wisdom is an amplifier of intelligence and knowledge; it can produce an order of magnitude increase in efficacy with very little change in either of the other two.

Both can be true...
