Good luck my friend!

Yeah its really hard to keep it consistent

😊

I believe genius people genuinely love what they are doing and not pursue things only for validation from society. Of course they enjoy progress just like everyone else but when the journey becomes a goal the goal becomes a journey. Act out of joy and not out of fear

@@Whatever-xr3mu I agree. But beside genuinely loving what you do, you need also to have a MENTAL FORTITUDE. If not, a failure can led you to a depressed situation and even leaving doing something that you really love. I have seen that situation too many times to count including myself.

True, Many high IQ people had a bad upbringing compelling them to stunt their intellect and limit them significantly.

No such thing as random chance...😂.

In my experience, knowing quite a lot of successful people, the deciding factor is making choices that put you in a position to be in the right place at the right time, and working to minimize the effect of bad luck while maximizing the effect of good luck. It can look from an outside perspective like they just got lucky, but it's really a culmination of small decisions made over a long period of time. For example, it's quite likely at some point in their lives, most people will have the opportunity to meet a millionaire (even if that's just their landlord or the owner or a company they work at). What a successful person does is follow up and try to maintain that relationship. That puts them in a position where they're able to make connections. But notice they started out as just an employee or a tenet like anyone else

@@Vectorized_mind it is literally

Great comment, thank you!!!!!!!!!

@sentientartificialintelligence starting linear algebra now. I don't know. Hopefully I can get it

@664bomber wow thank you! I appreciate this greatly.

@@sentientartificialintelligence thank you!

Aww thank you my friend. This comment means so much, I appreciate it:)

Okay why he’s not blinking ?

Exactly pepole study scientific degrees just to do sometging about their future, only 1% is studing with true passion. These are the genius, people who love doing abstract things that is antinatural for other people to do

There are many questions in life. I do have a story to tell, but it is far to long. Short version Is I received massive head trauma. Severe Brain damage. I took therapy for many years. I enrolled in College. Completed bachelor in Science. Still trying to figure this all out. Oh I now middle aged. I still chasing.

Wow he really doesn't 😮

He's a sorcerer. He's trying to hypnotise you.

​@@nihilisticnirvanaHe does, you may have missed it.

Thank you!!!!!!!

Wow, I love Marcus Aurelius!! His writing is so powerful.

@@TheMathSorcerer His ideas are so succinct yet heavy! Strikes right at the core. Thanks for the content Professor!

Love that:)

congrats

👏👏👏👏

My dream to get in IISc Bang.

@Hansrew are you in school or college?

@@alienmathology6251 I passed 12th last year and dropped for JEE but NTA imposed 75% criteria (why need criteria in boards after jee adv) so I will still give JEE Adv but for IISc

wow, thank you:)

Hello Sir, welcome to the club. I'm also dyscalculic was great at school besides maths, having an IQ of 146 and was never allowed to go to University. How are you doing today?

Saludos!

If you need an introduction that eases you into Linear Algebra, the youtuber 3Blue1Brown has a splendid free course on his KZfaq channel.

@Iyob Yulius thank you! I'm gonna watch it!

Wonderful comment, thank you!!!

Playing the long game is absolutely crucial.

thank you:)

I grew up in poverty and was still above the 99th percentile. Now I make 6 figures while my family continues to live like clowns

@@julienarpin5745 Its amazing how every time In in the US... I mean every single time... In any social setting. Since Im the windswept and interresting intrepid traveler, in any social setting, there are people that come up to me to tell me their story. "Whats your story" they say. And then they proceed to all tell me the same story. About how they "came up" in absolute poverty. Without access to healthcare, proper education or decent housing. AND NOW I MAKE SIX FIGURES, they say. SIX FIGURES!!! Its amazing how... Almost PROUD Americans are about that stuff. As if overcoming poverty is just part of the american dream. Part of the package deal. And the word "blessed" is used a lot. Such a weird culture.

​@@captain_context9991 Weird but not very different from other cultures...rarely in this world people think about our mind's satisfaction..money does solve 99.99% of your problems but some people get so busy and addicted to making money they forget what they were earning for.!! I wish instead of telling how many figures they have in their salary they actually told what they have achieved (other than money, materialistic or not) which made them happier than they were! Like I get it you earn shit ton of money but why? For what exactly?

@@muskan1036 It wasnt about making money or mental health. I know both of those are extremely important over in the US of Murca because I have been there enough... But this.... This isnt how civilzied countries work. Its like.... IMAGINE if a recent study suggested 1 in 4 children grew up in poverty in my well working, civilized, modern country. Wow... I mean. It would be declared a national emergency. Every bit of mass media would be full of debates, heavy discussions. Every top politician would be iå against the wall. Held directly responsible and accountible. Old incompetent people would be swapped out with younger guys with solutions.... No stone would be left unturned until this national crisis was averted. Meanwhile in the US.... Where 1 in 4 children actually DO grow up in poverty. I mean... I have access to CNN, FOX, NBC, CBS, you name it, I got it right here. And there is nothing.... No debates, no discussions all day, all week, all year. Instead we hear about WORLDS GREATEST economy, the booming stock market, trillion dollar tax breaks, and even during the pandemic, we were told about world record unemployment figures of just a couple of % ALL this while the streets of every major US city is lined up and down with people living under blue tarp, self-medicating on random pills and hard drugs. So whenever americans come up to me to tell me how they CLAWED themselves out of poverty, and those six figures, and how blessed they are... Only in America would my journey be possible, they say. With such pride. In my 20s I used to say things like... Thats not really how a civilized country should work. And here is how other countries have dealt with these problems... When they said they were the only one that "made it", I used to ask what happened to the rest on your street. But I have since learned never to get between an American and his flagwaving opportunity. Now I just shut up and let them talk. I let them mirror their sense of greatness i my eyes. And then they can walk away satisfied, thinking Im a great guy, after having heard themselves talk for 25 minutes straight. And whenever americans talk about those SIX FIGURES, it always turns out to be before taxes, expenses, and everything. I was talking to this black woman who was a truck driver. SO proud of her SIX FIGURES, then my brother, who runs his own company over in Norway, took me through the taxing and expenses, and said she was down to less than 40 grand a year in real money. And would be mostly living out of the truck with no overtime, zero healthcare, no paid time off, the usual American situation. ONLY IN AMERICA WOULD MY JOURNEY BE POSSIBLE, they say.

Lol!!

Lol

@@TheMathSorcerer The question is, would it be Daniel or Matthew?

That's awesome that you want to do that I hope everything will go well and is going well currently:)

@@IDontknow-dl8fi It could be going better. I'm trying to accept and live my life with Severe Small-Fiber Peripherial Neuropathy. Which leaves me mostly in a wheelchair. Trying to get disability at state and national level. I have over 200 credit hours of college and no degree. I would like to start my journey by finishing my undergraduate degree, probably online. Any recommendation for good online mathematics degrees? Anyways, keep the content coming and I will keep learning from you. And, thanks again.

💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥

You are essentially asking for a shortcut to get rich.

​@@captain_context9991 viability is more akin to "not being poor" than "being rich".

I have the same difficulties. I've droped out of college twice for reasons that conflate with my socio-economical conditions, first I was coursing physics in a respected college here in Brazil and later I was coursing applied math in what is widly considered the best college in the whole South America. I also have had a hard time chosing a specific course but I had the ingenous hope that I would be able to graduate in another area later, something like philosophy or sociology. My way out of this condition has been to use my self learning skills to learn to code and to use the favorable circunstances in this market to make some money. I still didn't reached the level of financial independence I think I need to enroll in university again or to pursue a self learning path, but I've managed to make a (somewhat) decent living out of it and to progress in my ultimate goal.

:)

Thank you!!

I've seen academics with Nazi-esque beliefs or enabling people who have them by treating them as demigods, even if comparatively mediocre in their fields and terrible everywhere else. Stone Age Neanderthals with PhD's. Acting like medieval lynch-mob peasants that think "the Jews", or whoever it is they hate this week, are sorcerers who bring tornados and plagues on their village from their wizard towers, while caressing their beards. Walking contradictions. They clearly didn't know or care about what Hitler thought about Science. Or they do and agree.

Ya definitely, good points! Thank you so much for this comment!!

Gracias!
