@John Doe Don't see why Echo would be nervous. Are you nervous when you see people talking to you with a hammer or a screwdriver in hand?

@John Doe Well I am quite relaxed and see no problem there, that's why I'm wondering what tickles you into thinking someone would be nervous seeing a knife in a casual conversation between two close friends :D
You have power over your mind not event, realise this and you will find true strength ; Jocko Willink, Ohh sorry, Marcus Aurelius. What a man this guy is. All my respect to you Jocko.
Great response by Jocko. People say "don't worry what others think," which I disagree with, because humans live and work together. We're not solitary individuals.
it's when people care about what others think and then change their behavior to make those people happy is when it becomes a problem. Too many people are putting their lives on hold because of the opinions of others when their own opinion is truly the only one that should count. Food for thought. ~cyn
Forwago workout plan is the only one that makes me want to keep exercising. I love the workouts there although there are difficult ones at times but a little challenge never hurts !! Maybe, you should also give it a try.
So look, it may not mean much to you Jocko but that's a very well put analogy. That's definitely youth friendly to where my kids could understand. Thank you!!
My personal transcription and translation to my colleagues: ¿Cómo comienzan la autoevaluación de la autoconciencia y la superación personal? ¿Y cómo continuar a lo largo del tiempo? Bueno, todos están vinculados, y comienza con ser consciente de sí mismo con la posibilidad de separarse porque si te separas de ti mismo entonces no puedes verte a ti mismo. Y entonces, la gente pregunta a Google. ¿Cómo te desconectas de ti? Cómo aprendes a hacer eso ... un buen ejercicio para esto, es tratar de imaginar la forma en que otras personas te ven y lo que otras personas piensan de ti. En un lugar donde esto sucede y definitivamente me pasa a mí es cuando comencé a obtener mejores cosas. Empecé a pensar en las perspectivas de otras personas. ¿Qué están viendo ellos? Si usted es jefe( responsable/encargado) , entonces qué es lo que sus subordinados ven que ud hace? ?, ¿qué es lo que sus subordinados oyen decir ?, ¿qué tipo de representación están recibiendo de ud? Y si trabajas para otra persona, son las mismas preguntas. ¿Qué me ve el jefe hacer?¿ que me escucha decir? ¿Qué tipo de representación estoy haciendo de mi mismo con mi jefe? Y luego comienzas a pensar en lo que ven tus amigos y tu familia. ¿Qué es lo que ven? ¿Qué oyen? Es así que la pregunta es ¿cómo de bien bien te representas? ¿Qué deficiencias tienes ahora? cuando comienzas a buscarte es como si estuvieras mirando un césped demasiado alto. Hay algunos grandes problemas obvios cantando a un amplio tipo de corte general de la hierba para solucionar algunos de los problemas sencillos que son obvios. Quiero que lo hagas. Te deshiciste de algunos de esos grandes problemas obvios. Notaste algunos problemas más detallados. tu puedes manejarlos y para qu ra que pueda manejarlos ves un problema aún más pequeño y más detallado. Entonces, empieza a tratar de arreglarlos. Y eso es lo que haces contigo mismo, te desconectas continuamente y luego miras y luego depuras y luego te separas y luego continúas depurando y luego te desconectas y continuarás mejorando. Eso es lo que tú haces. Así es como mejoras y ese proceso no se detiene, no se puede detener porque si dejas de refinar, entonces las malas hierbas vuelven a crecer la vez siguiente, ya sabes, ya no puedes verte a ti mismo. Cuando ya no puedes verte a ti mismo cuando dejas de mirarte a ti mismo, entonces aceptas. Usted acepta cualquier cosa. lo natural, no acepte los fallos, no se dé el beneficio de la duda. Tienes que ser tu propio crítico más duro.
I don't think I'll ever know what other people think. I don't think it's a great basis for taking action and living life. People can think anything they want. Plus, they have political motives.
Jocko provide details. Generalities are of no use here. What are the actual steps one should take when you say and I’m paraphrasing here “Detach, assess, and refine”? Your advice is solid I personally would more specific guidance.
I know it's late, and you might not even care... but that's never stopped me before. (lolz) Detach and assess, are kind of a combo'... and there's exercise to it. Write about yourself... BUT do it in "the third person" perspective. {Rules} Third person means wording like "Him" and "He did" instead of "Me" and "I did"...(just to be clear)... Use a name, whether your own or not (doesn't matter really)... But keep to third person... as if you're telling someone else's story. NO emotional BS. No 'inner dialogue', no thoughts, reasons, or suggestions as to "why"... JUST tell the locations, actions, events, and facts of the story... It's difficult. In fact, it's probably more difficult than you'd expect... at first. SO start small. The first story should be something on the order of a one-hour plot... Not so big a matter of what kind of thing, just writing about something that took you about an hour to get through... a business meeting, a cooking or craft project, even just mowing the lawn... AND you can go into details... The point in this exercise is to start to perceive yourself "From a distance"... intentionally "at arm's length", so the emotional and thought dialogue isn't involved. You can't see whatever's in my head, or know how I feel... SO don't bother including it in your story about YOU... It's like writing a police report about something else happening or being done by someone else... "just the facts"... Beware of "weaselly" words. Descriptives are nice in fiction, but this isn't about a writing exercise so much as a mental exercise. The act of writing is to eliminate excuses... You'll finish with a product, and if you've followed the rules properly, there will be a very dry explanation of what you did or said, the exact phrases used... nothing about intentions, no emotional context, no weird psychological examinations, and not many adjectives to fashion any "benefits of doubt" or create better impressions... AND when you've written this thing... go back through it, to double check things like spelling and grammar (approximately correct is good enough, as long as it's readable)... Make extra sure you didn't accidentally leave "Me" or "I" in there somewhere (they really are sneaky about creeping into these things... AND finally, put it away... for at least three days. Then go back and read it again... not to check over yourself. Just read it... In fact, read it aloud. You don't have to shout, but say the words and listen to yourself saying the words... You should probably do one of these writing projects every day. SO you'll have three projects written before you've opened and read the first one aloud. It's a lot to memorize, so you won't accidentally have it pre-cognitively loaded and memorized before you start reading... You won't "just know the lines". Sure, you're allowed to fix little mistakes as you go... especially in a document on your computer. The point is to return to this past event and read it over again, see how much of your memory of the event has changed since you first wrote the thing... see how it sounds about YOU... particularly, note how this new "all facts" story talks about YOU in light of just enough time to have somewhat lost all those emotional impressions and internal dialogues... AND there will be a difference. Practice this and keep the journal going... Grow the stories bigger. Keep up the effort to get rid of those weaselly adjectives and adverbs (anything descriptive when it doesn't need to be) and especially words that end with "ly"... Continue to carve down to as efficiently as possible telling the details of larger and larger parts of your day... Until you're creating this journal of whole days... AND keep reading the entries three or four days after you've written them. Make a habit of that. Write the day in the evening... and maybe read the latest scheduled entry in the morning... over coffee... It'll give you time (like on the way to work...) to think about your new impression of the person you read about (yourself) in that story... Being truly skilled at writing about yourself in the third person is a very effective method to "detachment" as Jocko is suggesting. Eliminating those descriptive, emotional BS, and internal context leaves the image exactly of what other people see about you... AND that's what you want to assess... so it goes hand in hand. Eventually, you will start to develop the habit to examine yourself "in action" as if from a third person perspective, and you won't even be thinking about it particularly. The impression will just creep over you... You'll also start to notice things... You'll notice some things you don't like in those stories... You'll maybe remember that internal context you wanted so bad to put in there, but it's against the rules here. The excuses are gone then... AND those things you don't like about the stories... THOSE are what you want to examine. Some of them, maybe no big deal... Most of those things you won't like about those stories, along with most of the temptations to put in emotional and contextualizing words... those are the things you'd like to give yourself "benefit of the doubt" about... Those are the parts of yourself you don't really like... and you're going to worry that other people don't really like that about you either. Maybe those are the things you need or want to change a little bit. It doesn't have to be all-out reforms... does it? You can pick something you've noticed in a couple months... a "repeated offense" and just... kind of pull back from that, whenever you notice it happening. Right? Try it... see if that doesn't start to become "refinement"... See if taking small steps to improve the thing you find most often and most disagreeable about your stories doesn't become a growing and ongoing project to make YOU a better person. It might even help... accidentally. ;o)
@M P, always welcome. Weird maybe, but this was an exercise I started originally because of my freshman (high school) English Teacher. We kept "Logs" through the school year, as an exercise for her class, something between journalism (she was a big Hemingway fan) and that same detachment. It seemed to help me, and I found it got easier to "detach" almost at will, as I continued... In any case, I just hope it helps. ;o)
Listening to this makes me think about an interview with the legendary theoretical physicist Richard Feynman (link to interview: ruclips.net/video/Cj4y0EUlU-Y/видео.html) The meat & potato's of what he is talking about starts around the 1 minute mark, but you should listen to the whole interview because you will see what he says is very important.
Hey Echo, get your pit bull on a leash already!!! This thing is scaring the women and children! And...who lets a pit play with knives anyways????? Great vid, great advice, once again boys.
Does anyone else think the good points that get made are undercut by the way the video is shot and edited? I think there's good insight, but waving a knife around in the gritty black-&-white filter makes him seem like a self-important edgelord.
Half year ago I started using Forwago and I was so impressed that I recommended it to 2 of my best friends. I really enjoy how the personalized plans help me not just to reach my goals, but instead to enjoy while moving forward to my goals.
the knife is a little corny and over the top to me...trying too hard to be dramatic. I understand the idea guys...dont get all testosterone on me and call me a pussy and tell me to not watch if i dont like it. Im just making an observation and giving my opinion.
The lessons learned from this podcast are the real deal.
No self help bullshit, only solid advices.
Thanks Jocko.
I was about to go buy some beer... now I'm having a water. Success.
just Jacko casually chiilin' with his knife...
Karl Konto
RUclips is staffed by girly men with no opinions of their own. So yeah...
Jocko stabs Echo and then says, “Good”
@John Doe Don't see why Echo would be nervous. Are you nervous when you see people talking to you with a hammer or a screwdriver in hand?
@John Doe Well I am quite relaxed and see no problem there, that's why I'm wondering what tickles you into thinking someone would be nervous seeing a knife in a casual conversation between two close friends :D
I think I'm gonna stick with this one.. the comments seems trusted
jocko is a masculine oprah
At 26, this is something i just begining to grasp
Rebekah Anderson I agree! It's a really honest way to see it, Being mindful is almost like a super power!
I’m 25 and listening jocko for about a year. Wish I had a teacher like him in my school. Eye opening speeches. Thank you THE JOCKO.
Hehe im 19
The power in this mans voice, wow.
These short 2-10 minute videos are sick
Jocko's face is what pops in my imagination anytime the navy or military is brought up, even before i knew Jocko.
You have power over your mind not event, realise this and you will find true strength ; Jocko Willink, Ohh sorry, Marcus Aurelius. What a man this guy is. All my respect to you Jocko.
Tutorial on how to point a knife against someone without ever been threatening. Also, I've used this video with my students. Thank you!
Great response by Jocko. People say "don't worry what others think," which I disagree with, because humans live and work together. We're not solitary individuals.
it's when people care about what others think and then change their behavior to make those people happy is when it becomes a problem.

I feel like he shaves with that knife, anyone else get this vibe lol
Goood Morning!☀️Thank you so much!
He uses that blade like a prof uses a pointer
Love jocko such a true role model
Forwago workout plan is the only one that makes me want to keep exercising. I love the workouts there although there are difficult ones at times but a little challenge never hurts !! Maybe, you should also give it a try.
I tried everything and Forwago was the ONE. Trust me do this everyday and you'll see crazy results its insane lollll
Very inspirational and very true!
What an absolute big fat load of good advice
Just some old fashioned comparison of yourself to the task of having a great lawn. Makes fantastic sense! Thank you Sir!
I have listened to this 5 times...really great
This is honestly such a helpful podcast
Thank you Jocko and Echo you guys kick ass
This is good stuff!
Thank you for everything. This is good stuff!!
Another awesome video guys! Thank you!
So look, it may not mean much to you Jocko but that's a very well put analogy. That's definitely youth friendly to where my kids could understand. Thank you!!
I think I’m addicted to his podcasts (laughing)...
Looks like the switchblade I got in Tijuana! This is one of my favorites. GOOD is one I replay a lot. Thanks,Boss

Real shit
Default menacing with that knife lol
Jocko should do ASMR. It would be super arousing!
Omg yes!
Jacko is encouraging nonetheless
Jocko describing the minds of perfectionists with 24/7 anxiety lol
DETACH LOOK REFINE REPEAT.
No anchors 👊.
Professor Jocko throws his knife at the projector screen to make his....... point.
Would like to see Jocko have Higgins on his podcast!
Goggins
No.
What is with that knife?
Ok new here… does he always talk with a knife? 😂
Dont Let Go.. at the end. Jesus
Brevity is the soul of Witt...you could just clean your room.
This is great. But, why is he holding a knife?
I don't think I'll ever know what other people think. I don't think it's a great basis for taking action and living life. People can think anything they want. Plus, they have political motives.
All right , Jocko. Just what do you plan to do with that knife? Is that to intimidate anyone who objects to your viewpoint?!
Jocko provide details. Generalities are of no use here. What are the actual steps one should take when you say and I’m paraphrasing here “Detach, assess, and refine”? Your advice is solid I personally would more specific guidance.

Great vid, great advice, once again boys.
Mark Eberle lol
Haha, that is funny! Except......Echo is probably the pet in this relationship!
We can’t afford a false persona to compensate for no self-examination.
hey, no worries guys... Jocko just uses that knife to pick the remains of his enemies morale out of his teeth. HOLD THE LINE! / Don't pass go!
Blake Neely even Jocko’s enemy’s would watch Jocko’s videos, they would watch them for the motivation to attack Jocko...
What is this guy talking about? Self awareness is knowing who you are from where you are and where you are going. Not what people think about you.
Go teach him then.
Does anyone else think the good points that get made are undercut by the way the video is shot and edited? I think there's good insight, but waving a knife around in the gritty black-&-white filter makes him seem like a self-important edgelord.
nah, not me, I don't really give a f about the knife. I often fool around with them too.
Black and white is just his style and preference, as for the knife that's a normal thing to do
M. Crow maybe you are too wrapped up in appearances. Maybe you should detach from yourself and take a look inward to refine yourself.
Close your eyes and just listen then
I recommend just listening, like when you're at the gym. These are poorly edited but the visuals aren't the important part.
Half year ago I started using Forwago and I was so impressed that I recommended it to 2 of my best friends. I really enjoy how the personalized plans help me not just to reach my goals, but instead to enjoy while moving forward to my goals.

sounds good, I will definitely give it a try
