You touched on a very important point in this video. If you want to succeed in a particular field, you MUST become a leader of men. Being a leader only takes being the example. It is not about ordering people around or being the alpha at all times, these are the media delusions they feed us. It is about being the most disciplined in your craft and mentoring others in how to excel in your craft. This is why it is so important to master yourself. If you cannot force yourself to be disciplined, no one will ever follow you. It is the undisciplined who search for leadership and role models. Show them how it is done and they will follow and help you achieve your vision.

I feel like regrets are really important. They make you reassess your path. There's a reason a certain action, or inaction, lingers in your mind. I think that's generally the case with recurring memories (of all sorts). If there weren't something to learn from them, we wouldn't likely waste precious energy reflecting on them. Consider it a gift from your mind-an insight into how you might do things differently in the future in a way that benefits you more. Look after yourself; don't deny things that make you unhappy.

it's fitting that this video is uploaded today because today was the first day that I actually wrote something on the blackboard infront of the class after two years of basically doing everything alone. It was the last question on the sheet, functional analysis spectral theory, and the solution that the tutor had found was not enough to proof it. So the tutor asked me to write my answer on the blackboard because I was one of two in the class who had it solved in the correct way (there were only 10 people so it's not that odd). I always thought I was pretty self confident, but surprisingly I found that my hand was trembling quite a bit, and I really didn't think that would happen to me. Contacts make quite a difference, and I gotta admit that the longest time I spent talking to a colleague per week one average (average of the semester) was ten minutes.
@bluestar04 2 ай бұрын
Thanks for talking about this. I relate to a lot of what you said (not raising your hand even when confused, being timid, isolating one's self). Looking back on undergrad, I wish I didn't act like a spectator due to self-consciousness, but instead interacted with professors, looked for cool opportunities and such. I'm hoping to do better in the future for the reasons you mention in the video.

@WayneDrake-uk1gg 2 ай бұрын
@@piotrek3650 personally, I've found very heavy/high intensity/as frequent as possible compound lifts are the best bang for the buck when in a calorie surplus. Rapid improvements in size & strength, but I tend to get banged up/beat down after a few weeks of doing that. From there, I can keep progress going a bit longer by lightening the load and upping the volume (something like German Volume Training). From there, that kind of training can carry me through the beginning of a cut (high volume compound lifts are definitely great cardio as well). But when deep in a cut, there comes a point when compound lifts cease to be "feasible". I mean, when you're starved to the point you can barely stand up off the couch without collapsing, barbell squats ain't happening, so it's nice to be able to just sit on a machine and do leg extensions

Hey, please, make more videos like this. About life experience, the video of 'It only take two weeks' really changed my life. I am a computer science student and after reconsidering that video and actually putting in the good work. in two weeks I learnt the fundamentals of machine learning and implemented lot of Neural Nets with pytorch, and having zero knowlege in pytorch. I had to learn it. And 15 days are actually so long wen we actually give it a serious try. The 2 weeks rule realy changed my mentality and mindset. And I don't want you to stop posting videos like that. You're helping people more than you thought. Thank you so much.

I am the accessibility specialist at an urban community and technical college. Two of the top keys to student success are connecting with faculty and studying with peers. Almost all faculty have told me that very few students come to office hours. When I was a graduate TA one semester, I did the grading for two courses while the professor lectured. I kept writing "come see me during office hours to get better grades" because the mistakes were so easily correctable. I did not have a single student from either class show up the entire semester and the students who struggled never improved.

I have always said that I am the shiest person in almost every room I have ever been in. This surpises people now because I learned to create another persona that I can "wear" in public who can do those things. It took a lot of practice (and acting classes) but finally took hold when I was offered a job that doubled my pay if I could teach, present, and train. Desperation was a big motivation. But when the door closes, I like being alone to think.

One does not have to believe in regret in order to find themselves beset with it. To me it's like saying, "I have no fear because I don't believe in it." -It doesn't seem to be a well-formed proposition. Rather, I might submit that individuals able to make statements such as these are likely to be those whom have not yet encountered a trial, either of one's own making or otherwise, so grievous as to lament it's happening and, thus, regretful. -Likewise with fear, if a person has no fear, I have to infer it's because that individual has not yet encountered something so terrifying that it triggered a fear response. To be sure, this is not an indictment; if you are able to live without regret, that's wonderful. Nevertheless, life is so variable and complex, that it is easy, in my mind, to make room for the possibility that other people have regret, and have good cause for it.

One thing’s for sure, as we get older, the circle of friends gets way smaller ; we have to trust and hold on to a few while smiling or peacefully walking away from the rest. It’s important to not isolate one’s self from school through university at least for (your) cognitive development and that’s what I believed in even as a young musician turned scientist-from taking part in every competition, even sport! Going partying, most importantly having conversations even with my teacher colleagues ! All this payed off in retaining what we learned-that’s deep! Today we can still face the world.
