I'm not sure but I suspect that viewpoint has a massive effect.
It's similar to the old saw about growth vs fixed mindsets.
I often describe programming as "failing 99 times and succeeding the 100th time, and counting that as success". There are a lot of people who are not wired and acculturated to that sort of "success".
That said, I don't (obviously via the growth mindset) think it's a fixed quality, it's more of a learned and acquired routine.
