about you that you can’t change very much
You can learn new things but you can’t really
change how intelligent you are
No matter how much intelligence you have,
you can always change it quite a bit
You can always substantially change

1. You are a certain type of person and there is not
much that can be done to really change that
2. No matter what kind of person you are you can
always change substantially
3. You can do things differently but the important
parts of who you are can’t really be changed
4. You can always change basic things about the
kind of person you are
