So this was filmed a couple of weeks ago when I was in Vienna for a conference and a film festival. Then I went to Oslo, then Portugal and now I'm in China. I hope you have the self efficacy to pursue whatever you want to pursue.
"People think I'm crazy because I'm filming myself." Willingness to make a fool of yourself or being thought a fool by at least some people is also often part of success.
I wonder if he gets lost after walking around like that.
+Zeldas Champion thankfully I have GPS :)
+Zeldas Champion Vienna is a beautiful city to get lost in.
So it would not be a punishment to get lost there, anyway.
+Veritasium How much do you like music?
+Zeldas Champion
He could just re-watch the video he took...
+Zeldas Champion Quite hard to do in the center of vienna. The center isn't that large and surrounded by a big road (Ring), keep wandering any direction and you will be on the Ring, follow it any direction and you be soon on a subway.
Mark Twain spoke on this subject. All a person needs, is to be ignorant enough to believe he/she can do it
and be confident enough to act on that ignorance. Success under those circumstances, is assured.
Gracias 🙏🏼
Beautiful. *Ignorant* enough to believe that *I can do it* + *confident* enough to *act it out*. I hope remember this! Thanks love
@@advocatewalia4316 dont remember it, write it.
I want to use this logic from Mark Twain to become the world's best golfer.
oh no, the peak of mount stupid, not that please. that only leads to stuff like flat earth
This was an excellent monologue. I am a physics teacher in West Virginia and self efficacy is THE major stumbling block for many of students. Many come from underprivileged families and that see their future as welfare, maybe coal mining, lumber industry if they're lucky or, they are turning illicit activities. I actually have parents get mad at me for trying to show them that they can aspire to much more. Like I'm giving them false hope.
keep on! i think youre doing something great!
I second that!
The idea of self efficacy reminds me of a quote from Einstein himself, "You never fail until you stop trying". I have a young daughter that I will stop at nothing to instill that thought process into. Sometimes things are difficult, but the word perserverance only exists because people have overcome things and defined it. So I see that as an "If they can do it, so can I situation" like you mentioned in this video. And I want her to have that same view, and not give up on things just because they seem insurmountable. I want her to know that nothing is out of grasp if you try hard enough.
These videos are always amazing with fascinating subjects. I watch each one at least twice, the things you talk about really resonate
+Shawn Cormier I'm really glad to know they resonate with you and these are not just my random musings
+Veritasium They resonate with me, too. I completely agree.
+Veritasium with me too, as if you were my big brother :)
+Veritasium
Same here. Thanks for the awesome videos!
+Shawn Cormier I really enjoy all the Veritasium content. I'm not big on self help bullarky, but this put it quite plainly. Back to awsome content next week!
Wow... That took a unexpected dark turn at the end.
+Mateus Bittencourt Kind of dug himself in, "well shoot, how am I going to come back from this train of thought.. I can't, can I? Oh well, happy holidays."
Lol I certainly felt that he intended to end up somewhere else with the improv.
5:42 thats when he realised oh sh*t i am also talking about it. The fact that he was doing what he didn't want to do was funny then it starts to get dark fast.
It almost looked like he was sweeping off a wave of raw emotions like grief and swallowing his tears or sadness toward the matter. Huge respect!
More like half way through. Luckily no one died.
Disorganized? i'd say you carried yourself brilliantly well. Especially considering that you're walking through bustling streets of Vienna, casually recording yourself and keeping train-of-thought conveying a thought provoking subject matter. Bravo.
"Self Efficacy" - as in my own perceived capacity produce a desired outcome; self perceived effectiveness. I like that. This is worthy of returning to later..
Come to India and you will know the true definition of ' Bustling streets'.
Self Efficacy is a good thing, as long as you pair it with Ethics.
Self Ethicacy
+Saeed Oshee How can the masses gain a good set of ethics? My best bet is education.
+Kubs Parents job
+Kubs Yes education, proper guidance by parents, not being forced into any ideal. extremists become that way not out of choice, they forced into it in all manner of ways. Born into a family who forces them into an ideology, forced into it by fear, etc. etc. All you can hope for is to educate and provide the means for people to do good. In end people generally want to do good far more then do bad, but three is too much corruption in world forcing people into the bad.
I feel that the parents SHOULD give proper guidance, but they can't be counted on to do so.
HOW CAN YOU DO THIS. I WOULD DIE FROM SOCIAL ANXIETY
lol same
So true. It’s so weird every time someone looks at him I cringe so hard because they expect him to be on a face time, but he is just recording himself 😬😬😬 the cringe bites me.
@@Koya550 you're cringe
I am amazed at people who are confident enough to record in public like this
This is so exactly what I want to try to teach people! I'm doing what I can to teach people to teach themselves to woodwork, the way I did! Thanks for making this video, it helped me a lot!
First of all, congratulations on being able to create a video despite all of those distractions!
It is unfortunate that those people who are given those most press are those doing things for shock value or to terrorize. Viral videos with awful messages get much more coverage than any of the amazing, positive videos that are being uploaded all of the time. Also, there are so many amazing things being published from the fields of science and technology all of the time, but it is so much more likely to hear about something bad that has happened in the world.
I think that we could do a lot to encourage people, particularly younger generations, to direct their talents and passions towards more positive goals if we spent more time focusing on the good things that happen. That way, these people would be able to see that good things are being accomplished and hopefully gain inspiration and the belief that they too can make positive change.
Thank you for the insightful video and encouraging people to think about important topics like this.
+Abi, I just thing the way things are the younger generations lack the means and the conditions to focus on the future. The legacy they are and will have to deal with, the hate, the violence, the self-interests of a few in detriment of the others, are a lot to deal with.
+xspager the younger generation is getting worse and worse :P
+Shu Senpai you are getting worse and worse
Pankaj Shukla
are u the younger generation if ur not blind u would see, state the fact that most kids i see today talk trash to many people and are never respectful
I think problem with mass media is that they target audience that gives them the highest ratings. it's all about money after all. In real life with random people most people you encounter aren't interested in the more important things of life or latest innovations in science or technology, most people only care about less important things or things that get them angry or mad or shock them. We also live in a world where we are stressed every day with our jobs just trying to get by, by end of day you don't want to have to think anymore you just want to relax and kick back or you have to focus on more chores/family etc and you just don't have time to think. And most people out there just like hearing about the drama going on in world, they don't have time or care to think about more intellectual things, if someone grew up not knowing a thing about technology, hating technology and computers and gadgets they aren't going to care less about some new innovation that makes some technological advancement, they are probably just going to change channel to someone talking about another bomb exploding in some party of world instead, because everyone can relate to that, not everyone can relate to other important things going on. So media isn't going to bother talking about a topic that only 5-25-50% of people will care about, they are only going to target topics that 90% of people care about, it's all about ratings. and in the end it's kind of the masses fault. we like to blame it on media or our governments but it's the people who shaped our media and our governments not the other way around. Those of us wanting to make a difference or concentrate on finer things in life just end up getting frustrated by it all and we hate media and governments for it, sometimes we wish governments/media would ignore the masses and do what is right but in end it's all about the money and appeasing the masses.
The background is like a film scene, so pretty :)
Dear veritasium host you are a source of inspiration for me and after watching your videos i am confident enough to start my own youtube channel i think now i can do it..thanks.. lots of thanks from core of my heart.wish you best of luck in your life ..
Hey man,
First of all congrats on your RUclips channel. I actually got inspired by Veritasium also and want to create a youtube channel with the idea of filming the daily life of my pet cat, who is really funny in a way. Just like your bird. We basically got inspired by one person and had the same idea lol. funny.

@@Michaelngo102 hi hows it going ?
@@kayaeki yes it was hard work and luck
@@JoysofNature I'm sure its a lot of hard work and that lots of hard work followed by luck. So happpppy I am :D
When my wife was pregnant with our son, we had a long discussion about what we wanted to accomplish in raising him. We came to the agreement that the best thing we could do for him right off the bat was to teach him "how to learn". Reading was the first step, so we started that very early. He read his first word at nine months, and absolutely devoured any knowledge we would give him. There came a point when we had to decide to stop "feeding" him information, and make him start "seeking" information. I think this is where we go wrong (and what you pointed out in the "learned helplessness" video); we don't ever try to break ourselves, or others' habits of expecting to be "fed" the answers.
How is your son now
@@stansmith2188 He is a high school Freshman this year (4th year secondary for the Europeans), and taking two college classes this semester, having finished eight so far for both high school and college credit. He routinely subs for pianists and organists for local churches on the weekends, does marching band and choir, and he is hoping to go to college for music composition when he graduates. He loves the fact that his actual schedule is lighter since he is meeting requirements with college classes. Although, he still complains when he has to sit down and do homework or practice instead of playing video games, but he's 14... He has a choice in what he enrolls in and learns, as well as his extra-curriculars so he doesn't burn out.
Well, you gave me the self-efficacy to fight social awkwardness! I'm bookmarking this video to remind myself everytime I feel shy around people.
Your video on learned helplessness actually improved my outlook on a lot of things, thank you so much for making the video.
I quit my job and doing everything that I can to make my own business work and whenever I don't know what to do I think of learned helplessness.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you for your time, Derek. I greatly appreciate the time and effort you donate to create these videos! Happy Holidays!
May I suggest, self efficacy in kindness. Many people share stories of kind things being done and this inspires others to be kind.
In reality, fewer people are being harmed by the actions of others than at many times in human history. The feeling that violence is everywhere, when it's really not, could actually be a rise in empathy. Every act of violence is bad, but empathy is winning. Empathy is the answer.
In my opinion more so than rise in our empathy it's more because of our interconnectivity. Nowadays because of Internet and Television we hear more news from around the world.
You tend to make me think about stuff from a different perspective. I wanna meet you one day and have a talk :)
And you will stare at him the entire time just like in your picture.

"The marks humans leave are too often scars" -John Green. Thats the quote he was talking about, and it is my favorite quote. One day I hope to have it on top of my self harm scars, because even though I did it to myself, I did it to myself because of words said to me throughout my childhood. This quote also tells me to watch what I say, because it could end up hurting someone in the way words hurt me.
Thanks Derek, really liked this vid. Doing it in one take was super refreshing.
Seeing all the funny looks people were giving you was weirdly inspiring.
The way you powered through all their bs because you knew making the vid was more important.
Gonna try get over myself from now on, just realised that there is more going on in life than my own discomfort.
Vienna looks beautiful!!

please do more of these!
I saw this video show up the other day and had been meaning to watch it, and I'm glad I took the chance to this evening. I'm not usually one to reply to videos, but I felt compelled to on this one.
Firstly, I remember your video on learned helplessness, and some of your other videos. In those videos, you were the reason I finally decided to jump headlong into making RUclips videos. I had been wanting to for a long time, but always felt I needed someone to hold my hand and show me everything. It was your motivation that pushed me to decide I was going to figure it out on my own and the only way was to just start doing it. I still don't have it all worked out, but I'm slowly realising my dream of teaching on RUclips. Your message is getting across, and we are doing it, and we have you to thank for the motivation.
Secondly, I agree with you that the attention we as a collective population of earth give to those who seek to do harm is a huge problem. Our 24 hour coverage in the name of views and likes and ratings only perpetuates the issues at hand and drives those who harbor hate in their hearts to do the same. We foster a climate of hate that we try to justify because "they hit us first". As a former Marine (U.S.), I understand this reaction, but I know it is not right. I admire your ability to stand on the platform you have built and say openly that you do not have the answer, but you want to be part of finding and growing the solution. Martin Luther King Jr. once said. "Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that"
It's true, and I feel sad that I belive we are a long way away from believing those words as a whole. Too many people still want to fight hate with more hate, and I think we will lose some very hard battles before we learn that lesson.
I'm so grateful that you can share your ideas and knowledge with us here on youtube. You really have made an impact in my life and surely many others. Thanks Derek.
this video should be titled: Weltschmerz in Vienna.
Vienna yeah!!!
It was a pleasure to finally meet you! Thanks again for the Queen's-video! ;)
+Fillerkish great to meet you!
It's so easy for people to laugh at what you are doing. Man you are an inspiration
I am so distraced by the beauty of Vienna. I have rewatch it over and over.
The audio quality of this video is amazing. I'm listening to it with pretty darn good headphones and the city feels absolutely alive. I mean the message is amazing too. But what is your set up for filming this?
It's totally right! The sound of his voice and surroundings are so clear! Could be helped by some lavelier microphone to fit it. I notice something sparkling near to the bottom of the jacket (left side of the video). Have any sense for you?
Sorry for answering late. I have already seen his video.
As always, very interesting. Plus, you are very handsome, Derek.
Someone had to say it 😂
"If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."
This is why I subscribe to auxiliary channels like these. I appreciate the time you took to make this video, Derek!
Derek, can you go more into quantum mechanics?
+Jeremy Peters there are a number of vids about this on the main channel, but I can try to do some more in this area. Anything you have in mind?
+Veritasium does the randomness of quantum mechanics influence free will?
+Don Williams that's a super philosophical question that has been debated for years and doesn't really have an answer due to disputes from religious beliefs
How time is related to space and how the the big bang created space.
+Don Williams - He has already done a video on that. :)
beautiful city
There was a day that I was commended to do a work in my job, a really hard work. At the beginning I wasn't really optimistic if I could accomplish that, but as days passed I analysed the problem and the solution started to be clearer and finally I could finish the work.
That event marked an upper limit of my possibilities. I have not meet such difficult tasks since then. Now I see this video and I learn that what I feel is self efficacy.
"Remember, you're as good as the best thing you've ever done."
I watched every one of your videos and I think that was by far the best one you've ever done. very deep.
Watching this in July/2016 and from 6:50 on its almost prophetic.
yup
wow yeah
Drinking Game:
Every time he says "self-efficacy" in this video, put down your glass and go start something you've been meaning to do.
...let's finish off 2020 right...
Amazing timing on this video; I was thinking about this exact topic not 10 minutes ago.
People are always to surprised to hear of all the things that I'm interested in, have done, or at least tried to do. Whether it be with academics, music, art, entrepeneurship, or other mental challenges, my parents instiled in me an almost overconfident self-efficacy. If I see that someone has done something, I usually think 'hey, I should be able to do that too, maybe even better!'. So many people are held back by simply lacking the confidence in themselves to learn new things and accomplish odd goals.
Thanks for this - you're bang on!
I love this man, And the way he makes his videos keep you engaged every second of the way.
I was.. Trying to tell people myself, About this, But none of them seemed to listen. You can reach more people than I can, Veritasium, And I thank you for making this. It's a lovely message, And it's a truly beautiful one.
Self efficacy is a problem for me. I have so much confidence in my ability to accomplish goals that most of the time I don't even see the point in acting on it. I feel like I have nothing to prove to myself.
No it's not, it's partly why many intelligent individuals do not participate in school because they feel that they are not being challenged enough. Einstein is a clear example of this. The problem there lies with the lack of the aforementioned challenge. An answer could be found in seeking new things, dreaming bigger and trying to do more.
Also, consider the fact that, despite your lack of desire to prove yourself, you haven't actually done anything. Which is why many people turn to the approval of their peers to find that satisfaction.
Realise that your abilities have not been shown to the world, resulting in this guy saying that you are delusional. He has a valid point if you continue to do nothing in the face of this. Act, not to prove yourself, but simply because if you didn't most would consider you no more than any other inanimate object.
+goyabee You need to challenge yourself more, there is no such person in this world who can look at every thing in life and say its all so easy no point in doing it, if you think like that then you havent pushed yourself, your setting bar to low. In just about every thing i do i never see an end to improving anymore, more things i learn and more things i try to master the more i realize learning is infinite and never ending, even the simplest of tasks you can improve upon over time as long as you understand that you can always improve and get better. Just take game of billiards/pool for example, you can play that game for years, for a life time, and still not master it, sure you may move your way up to the top players in the world but even top players in world aren't remotely close to perfect and still make mistakes errors etc. on a regular basis, but this can be applied to anything. Problem is your setting your goals too low, do you play billiards and say my goal is to win a few matches, win a few matches, then give up? no you keep improving, finding better challengers, creating challenges that makes you constantly have to beat yourself if you can't find someone immediately that challenges you.
Jack Padden Einstein was a genius and he accomplished more in his life time than most humans do, he didn't have it easy and he struggled to find a job, he never gave up and that paid off, not being able to accomplish your goals based on a sense on being "too intelligent" or too confidente says only 3 things, 1 - Your goals are mediocre 2 - you are mediocre or 3 - you are delusional, try postulating a theory as complex and life changing as general relativity or wining a nobel price, and then tell me you are sure it will be too easy for you.
+Jorge Villalobos I think it is a complex I have left over from my relatively poor education in the United States and having come from a broken home with a history of child abuse and neglect. It is a common problem for gifted students not to be challenged. I am not saying that I am a genius, nor that my intelligence is the reason for my apathetic outlook. I am above average intelligence but not so high as to make things as effortless as my comment may have implied... WAIS-tested 146 I.Q. I understand fully that my attitude is based on some fundamental personality flaws and various bio-psycho-social problems including depression an PTSD. It is not as easy for me to become motivated, so I think I just use my own insight into the goal reaching process as a way of reassuring myself that it could have been done. Not healthy, but it is what I am used to and what I am comfortable with.
Jorge Villalobos Oh, and while I'll agree that Albert Einstein had many struggles, I am damn sure that depression was not one of them. If you think that he was able to accomplish all that he did just due to his intelligence, or because "[he] was a genius", think again.
recently discovered you. good stuff. hope to run into you at some point! happy trails
I got interested because of your science videos. But now I'm hooked both on the science videos and these. These videos of (can't find a phrase) make my week. Thank you for all the videos Derek :)

Just out of curiosity, what were you doing here in Portugal?Happy holidays!
+Oscar Dias I'll have a meetup in Lisbon some time after Christmas
+Veritasium So you are coming back, that's cool. I was hoping for a Veritasium video recorded in Portugal. Either way it's good to know that you have some acquaintances here. Maybe next time my email reaches you. I'm not in Lisbon, but if I go there in the coming weeks it would be nice run into you.
+Veritasium Are you giving a talk to an audience? If so, is it open? :)
I am glad Dr. Muller is fine with walking around in public and not caring what people think of him, imagine him recording inside whilst alternating between the bathroom, kitchen and bedroom!
This video does a lot to show how important hard work and self-efficacy are.
If someone were to watch this video without knowing your work they would think it's very raw and amateur; but the fact that it is lets us see how much work you put on scripting and editing the videos you do on the Veristaium channel. There you look so fluent and professional that one could forget you are a regular guy doing something he loves (apart from your talent, knowledge and experience, obviously).
We should also do what we love knowing that it requires hard work but that we really can do it.
Thank you for this, it really does help me right now.
Much more than in the topic I am interested in how you just walk around holding your phone at arms length and talk to yourself in public. Do you feel weird and in the spotlight, did people ever bother you about it? And do people in different countries react differently?
I know that seeing people like you walking around is practically the norm these days but I know I could never do it without blushing hard.
+2nd3rd1st for me it's a means to an end kind of thing - because I know I'm filming myself for this audience I can put out of my mind the thought that other people think I'm crazy / narcissistic. When I'm filming I'm really focused on expressing what I'm thinking (and not getting run over by horse-drawn carriages!)
+Veritasium are you really just using a smartphone to film all this?
+Veritasium That makes sense, thanks, Derek. And I just noticed you have a Germanic last name, that's cool. :) Got family in Europe?
kinda touches on the whole point of this video...if you think you need to get a message out there and walking down the street pointing a camera at your face is the way to do it, just do it...blushing or not. As long as you get to where you want to be and you achieve your goals, why would even you yourself care if you blush or not?
Judging by the depth of field and how often he switches arms, that's a DSLR, not a phone.
Of course he feels in the spotlight; he is the spotlight! He's talking to himself while walking in a city that isn't LA. People are going to stare, judge him and then go back to feeling anxious about their own lives.
IT'S ALL COMING UP MILHOUSE!
KEEP MAKING V2 VIDS!!!
That is probably the single best piece of advice that can be given to anyone in life. Give a man a fish he eats for a day teach a man to fish you feed him for a lifetime. Get a man to take on the challenge on his own without being taught and he finds an even better way to fish. my compliments on all your videos. Still, wish I had a half hour with you to discuss some topics that would have me building the boat...... :-)

Would have been great to spot you here. Next time tell me. ;)
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on self efficacy, especially in terms of how the people in our environment can influence our sense of self efficacy.
I was never exposed to computer science until after graduating high school and the guy I was dating at the time chose to major in CS for university. Seeing that it was possible for him to have a career in CS gave me a sense of self efficacy to try it for myself, especially since my grades in math where much better than his haha. I often wonder if I ever would’ve considered a career in software engineering if I hadn’t met him, especially since no one in my family was a software eng either.
Sometimes I also wonder how different my life would be if I didn’t grow up with television or the internet because I feel like they have exposed me to a world of many new and different possibilities that I would’ve never considered for my life otherwise since no one in my immediate environment were doing those things, such as traveling solo. I don’t think I ever would’ve even tried to travel solo as a female, if I hadn’t first read success stories of those that have already tried it themselves, which helped give me a sense of self efficacy. At the time I was considering it, I didn’t personally know anyone that had done it, and all my family and friends imagined it to be too dangerous to even try otherwise.
So I think people should try to expose themselves to new ideas/environments more, so that they can imagine new possibilities for themselves to try out too!
This is especially important for people with disabilities. I lost my leg when I was 3. When I was in my early 20 I hiked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and back in one day, a hike so tough it is now illegal, even for experienced hikers. I did it because no one ever told me I couldn't.
It wasn't easy, and it took me longer than I expected. But I did it, and no one can take that away from me.
If you think you can't, you wont.
Man, The courage you have is great. I, for one even fear to take a picture in public and you record videos with a smile even when people stare at you. That is very Cool.

+Sean Haggard Your left hand is your first company.
Do you have "self-efficacy" to travel on space-time on ultra-hyperbolic beams of compressed matter??
+Just In Words Sometimes I stay very still and my wavelength extends across the globe waiting for someone to make a measurement.
2veritasium cool, the "amplitude" can be modulated by the environmental local conditions ... the "individual" local condition from the bio set up is as it is ... but an unbiased environmental setup (integrated selfless cells) from the other organisms release the tension from the bio-feedback exchanges from the observation from/for the local conditions ... Therefore, you can be completely Free of Your Self ...but the others will give the local attribute and body identification ... Then, The Body become a sort of "catch inside" ground based local observers ... then, The Stillness of the "mind" and the compassed slow bio-functions rhythms are not enough for the modulation of the previous stage to scan from the non local devices on the non local domain ...
Unfortunately, Technological deployments require the integration of structures into coherent systems ...

You described exactly the reason humanity is going downhill.
Vienna. Wow. I've gone galt to a certain degree.... I live in the mountains. Sometimes I think I miss the city. But... no. Anyway, great video 👏
In my quest to build a business around apparel I came across this video again had a time where I think I needed it most. Today I found myself flusterd and sort of throwing an internal tantrum because I desperately wanted someone to come and save me from all the work that comes with being successful. Thank you again for reminding me how self efficacy is a staple in making things happen.
How’s your business now?
I now realize that in a lot of videos you have done you have been searching for answers to life's big questions. Keep searching.
You can't solve extremism. Faith blinds extremists from any attempt as reasoning.
+Zeldas Champion reasoning is tough though and faith is not its only enemy. There are plenty of non-religious people who have difficulty with reasoning and rationality...
+Veritasium faith is not an enemy of reason, it is a result of reason. anyone who has put faith in something has done so because they reasoned the idea trustworthy.
+The Lusty Empress and her quartette of fools
You haven't looked it up in a dictionary have you? If you had, you would know faith is a synonym for trust and believe without proof is known as blind faith.
U not only make us feel awestruck with your science videos but also inspire us largely with such simple yet impacting videos of yours. Keep it up.
I'm enjoying these philosophical videos. Keep it up, and good luck with the Snatoms.

I live in Vienna, so it is really cool to see you walking through my hometown.
And I can definitely see why people would look at you funny when you walk around filming yourself and talking to a camera - thats not done regularly here :D
I've had to learn about a lot of this myself, particularly not to be paralyzed by fear of failure. Your video on learned helplessness really changed my approach on a lot of things.
Regarding terrorist self efficacy, I'm glad I finally have a term for something I've been observing for a while. Thank you. I for one will join you in this cause, to defeat this downward spiral.
You didn't touch much on how to increase one's own self efficacy. would it just be watching someone preform a task as your friend with youtube videos? Or do you feel like people just get a set of skills that they are able to preform and self confidence plays into it somehow?
+scottrob0 I think self-teaching is important, and putting yourself in situations where you can learn (which is sometimes uncomfortable), pursuing things with determination, but of course you are more likely to be determined if you already think you can do it. So perhaps another title for this video is "the importance of thinking you can do it before you even start"
+Veritasium Like Thomas The Tank Engine (I think I can I think I can)
+Zachary Windsor You are getting "Thomas the Tank Engine" and "The Little Engine That Could" mixed up.
rpbsjy Yeah, you're right. My mistake
well shia labeouf said JUST DO IT
derek said JUST DO IT
i am doing it!!!
Nike said it too!
Tickwick omagaawd
imagine if everyone created what they want to create.
imagine the world where everyone is so busy fulfilling their dreams they don't have time to think about stupid shit like terror?
imagine kids get hyped about programming, art, poetry, music, maths, physics, meditation, martial arts.... AND ACTUALLY DOING IT BECAUSE IT'S FUN.
why would you want to listen about war,terror or that shit? that would be depressing that wont help your dream.
what if we all started working on our dreams and filter out negative shit. NEWS WOULD CHANGE IN 1 year.
they would start talking about "LOOK AT THIS HOLY FUCKING SHIT PICTURE KIDS MADE OMG THIS IS AMAAAAAASING YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT IT"
and it's amazing piece of art that gets attention AND THEN ANOTHER GROUP OF KIDS SEES THAT AND THEY KNOW THEY CAN DO IT BETTER.
woah beautiful world...
it's not that hard... just change your self first
get healthy (eat, move, sleep accordingly)
work on ur dream
love people that support u
give love to the world
respect nature
and world will heal, change for better in 1 year
trust me if only 1% of all people in the world tomorrow woke up and did what i just said in 1 year whole world would be HEAVEN
We'd have to implement some DNA changes to achieve that.
Sam Sırri sure lets think harder on how it's impossible to do something or achieve something.
lets think really hard why NOT to do things. ye lets focus on that :)
hope someone reading my comment will get motivation to start being disciplined about their dream and start working on it. Hope someone answers me if that changed their life :)
i surely changed mine!
much love to everyone
I am really motivated and working on my share of making the world a better place.. I'm just sleepy now XD
Didn't mean to be negative, but it's really a long way, and we're doing what we can during our life time.
Thanks for the positivity ^_^
I can't help but hear Billy Joel's song, Vienna, playing in my head as a backdrop to this message. Certainly the refrain "Vienna waits for you" will prove prescient as the meetup participants begin to congregate.
Bravo on both the message and the execution of this one, Derek.
love the walk and talk vids i just come back and watch em again.
OMG U WERE IN VIENNA, I LIVE IN VIENNA WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?? :(
i know right :(
It isn't random standalone complex. It's called jihad, and it's a war.
A lot of "al-Taqiyya" in the replies.
+yoni0505 It really isn't war. It is terrorism, which is powerful because of how limited the threat is (it's tiny) in comparison with the perception of the threat (which is huge).
Yeah you're right, war isn't a good word to describe it. A good question to start with is "Why virtually all terror acts are committed by Muslims?". If the reason is copycat behavior, would other groups would be just as susceptible?
In fact, it's part of Islam:
"We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve for what they have associated with Allah of which He had not sent down [any] authority. And their refuge will be the Fire, and wretched is the residence of the wrongdoers." (Quran 3:151 - quran.com/3/151)
You're right that aggressive response will lead to more trouble. It's part of Islam too (there are several verses, like 2:190, about fighting back)
Historically Islam spread "by all means necessary". Even by offering defeated enemies to covert to Islam and be spared.
While it isn't war, it's could certainly play part in a conquest campaign. Perhaps the goal is to terrorize people into submission and encourage them to join the "winning team", that is to convert to Islam. You don't need to go to war to conquer democratic countries, you just need a voting majority.
...the more I do research about Islam, the more I am terrified to learn that it's "by the book"...
+yoni0505 could quote the old testament for some very similar lines. Hating and blaming Islam as a beleif system and therefore judging all 1.6 billion muslims for all terrorism is just going to make the issue worse regardless of your feelings toward the religion. You need to think of solutions not just hate
+yoni0505
I am a Muslim, and that's soooo out of context, SOOOOO OUT OF CONTEXT
+yoni0505 Consider for a moment -- in the last few years -- the dynamic of warfare in the Middle East. Is it truly necessary that US and NATO-member states continue to interfere / foment and prolong the Syrian civil war? Would not a swift end to hostilities in Syria and Iraq stem both the flood of refugees to Europe and also the tide of resentment toward the West?
Speaking as a war-weary American, it is time to re-disengage. The more our military/security/surveillance-industrial complex grows (globally), the more vulnerable we all become. And for some, just that more willing to substitute atrocious violence for self-actualization.
I really like how you explain the subject of self efficacy without giving much judgement.
Derek, you are part of the solution! You're an educator and that's the most effective way to tackle ignorance and hatred. Thank you for all that you do!
Love this series
I've never heard the term self efficacy before, but it's useful now because it's something I think about sometimes. When it comes down to it, believing in yourself is one of the most important parts in not only beginning a task, but accomplishing it as well. Belief in yourself is a self fulfilling prophecy of the best kind; if you believe you can do it, then you can do it, and your confidence just snowballs, allowing you to accomplish more and more (maybe it's just me (there was a time in my life when this happened to me)).
Peu importe ce que vous faites, du fond du cœur : Merci.
Whatever you'll do, from the bottom of my heart : Thank you.
Congratulations on getting to such a significant event as the nobel peace prize!
Hey Derek, I see you're reading these comments, so I just want to say a huge thank you for making such great videos for all of us! They're always very interesting and educational; keep up the great work!
And great holidays to you Derek! 😄
You are right... The self efficacy is a thing that I haven't heard in my life, but at the same time,it explains a lot... Education isn't the only factor to doing good... We need contacts, leaders, self steem, resources... It's a lot easier to leave scar than make a change for good... We need to learn to raise our children in that ideal...
You are awesome, you just make me cry, cause most of what you said was on my mind. Hope you have a great time in oslo and thank you for those words :)
Happy holidays, keep up the awesome work
Wow, before I watched this video I must admit I was totally ignorant of the level of "bad" that there is in this world. I believed that there was no way of fixing it and therefore there was no point in trying. Now I see that maybe no one person can fix any of the problems, but if more of us gave a shit, that self efficacy would kick in and even more people would start realising what's happening to the world as we know it. This would in turn resonate and perhaps the people that now see their potential to commit acts of terror would instead see there potential to change our ways as well.
I genuinely thank you, Derek. I love when you do videos like this, in fact I love all of your videos.
well said. peace and joy in your holidays, Derek.
Happy holidays to you too sir!!
Every thoughtful, intelligent person wishes they had the "self-efficacy" to come up with the magic combination of words to make the world a peaceful place.
practice makes perfect. failing is part of that practice, correcting the failures is what gets you where you want to be.
You're an admirable man Derrick. Keep doing what you're doing, the world needs more of it :)
I tottaly agree with you Derek ..this is a topic which is not difficult to understand, but very few people have really thought about it as you did!Keep making V2 videos...they help many people! :)
