    Notes:
    Why do I want to learn Chinese?
    Well its a story with some history that developed over two years, so I can't really explain it here. But, Chinese is not the only language I plan to learn... and
    The very short version of the story is I want to know/understand the culture, the people, the food, and be able to speak with them about these things in their language. I will probably visit the country one day as well, but that is not really the end goal. The end goal is understanding and creating friends from another place. Interestingly, the US state department ranked Chinese as one of the hardest languages for English speakers to learn. I didn't know that when I picked it... but it is consistent with what I said in the video, so I find that amusing. LOL

    "Develop the skill, don't be an expert" This one hit home for me. I tend to get wrapped up in the idea that i HAVE to be an expert at anything that i do, and this often leads to starting line anxiety.

      Be very willing to think outside the box, don’t be constrained by the manufacturer laws(instructions) only the laws of physics, and failure is not a set back, it’s says that you haven’t perfected your process, or you tried to violate unforgivable laws, physics! The art of learning is defining the difference.

    So after being a mechanic for 18 years I made a huge decision to go to college. At 37 I started college. My end goal is mechanical engineering. What you said about asking others how they do something is spot on, they will normally show you how they do it. Over the summer I built a cnc pen plotter with my son. I plan on building a cnc router soon, much bigger than the plotter. Your videos are great, keep them coming.

    I completely understand what you're talking about.
    When I started learning 3d animation I was learning at home.
    I struggled trying to learn.
    by the end of a year I had watched around 1,000 tutorials for the program.
    I didn't start to see any progress until about 3 years later.
    After 13 years I'm a professional CG artist now.
    I can 3d model, texture, sculpt, composite, VFX, animate, make molds, 3d print, create inventions from my own mind and more.
    Now trying to learn C+ - C++ for creating machines that haven't been made yet for a company I work for. 😅
    I was looking at my job and I was thinking to myself " what can I do to make my job a little more easy.
    So I designed a machine that can do 3/4 of the job at 3x the speed and still keep the job of two people who work in the area.
    Then a tool I use every day had a part that fell off and I didn't like how it was fixed so I took a caliper and measured the dimensions then went home and made an attachment for the tool then 3d printed it. It's been going for about 5-6 months without a problem and it's way better than the part that was on it and the rivet trigger is almost a hair trigger now so I can rivet faster. 😅
    And right now I'm working on an old machine that cuts wire I've been working on for almost a year to two years and researched how to make it work then model in 3d space.
    It's a working prototype that I'm getting ready to build sometime. 😋
    This is the hard part when your doing all the modeling in 3d, coding, designing and building yourself, but you get a sense of accomplishment.😅
    Sorry for writing for so long it's a bad habit. 😅

    As a musician I came into college on a shaky foundation. My sight reading was awful, and a professor hammered it into my head that I should practice something as slowly as it can be correctly done, and that I needed to swallow my pride and take my time. I now apply that as a machinist.

    To increase the areas in which I can define as being learned, I will often apply the "See, do, teach" method, among other techniques. When learning something new, see someone do it, then do it yourself, and finally teach another what you've learned. The third part, teaching someone, dutifully confirms what you know; as you relay information to another, you're forced to take comprehensive inventory. This will singe the newly acquired skill into your arsenal. This technique works surprisingly well. Enjoy!

    • @JamesCarmichaelArtist
      @JamesCarmichaelArtist Год назад +1

      Just got to make sure you’re not teaching wrong information or skills. What I mean is this: John is a training coach at the local factory. You show up for work and while trying with John he continuously neglects to use proper lock out/tag out procedure because “it’s more efficient” and allows him to work faster. Now you have that same outlook. A year later someone you train dies because a machine was accidentally started because it wasn’t locked and tagged. Granted, this scenario is a bit extreme, but it happens a lot because someone inadequate is teaching bad information and skills.

    Jeremy, this isn't related so much to how I learned skills fast, but like your example of asking the Electrician to explain the electrical cabinet to you is an absolutely _great_ way to succeed (in almost anything, I think).
    As a (now retired) Mechanical Engineer working at an Aerospace facility (up to ~5,000 employees at times over the years), I made a good reputation as a young Engineer by actually _listening_ to the Artisans & Technicians because many of them were often the true Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) on whatever they did. I didn't "look down" on them because they might have had less education and no college degree -- I treated them with the Golden Rule and treated them like I wanted to be treated. I also did _not_ make the mistake of "overdressing" which made some Artisans/Technicians feel "put down" by the "snobs" (

    One of my biggest frustrations as a senior electrical engineer has always been needing to learn a small portion of an overall larger subject, and getting information overload...needing to find a resource on that small topic, but having to wade through a mountain of info before finally finding what I need. It takes time, and quite often there is quite a lot of wasted time. This is where finding a mentor is helpful, who has a lot of experience with that topic.

I'm planning on converting a small gas outboard motor to an electric one for my boat and while I have a basic knowledge and application of setting up a simple electrical system, this one seems to be more involved than my previous electrical projects.

    I found it really valuable to write down your mistakes, what could have gone wrong or what you want to do better next time as soon as possible. What was the cause and how do you want to do it better. Also note how you did something so you dont have to figure it out again. Write little „manuals“ for the tasks.
    Also learn that its ok to suck at something, espacially something you want to be good at. Almost everyone does at the start.
    Dont be afraid to ask for help, advice, whatever. Its incredible how many people will help out even total strangers they never met. Worst case they say something mean, but that doesnt matter. Best case you get some really good advice.

    Jeremy, I 'began ' learning Chinese in the summer of 1965, and I still study it today. I suppose I'm fairly fluent (however, I can still get my clock cleaned from time to time!) One piece of advice for you - do all you can to learn how the Chinese folks think. Much of the language proficiency is based on that sort of knowledge. {For instance, you probably carry a handkerchief around occasionally. A Chinese would never dream of carrying around a rag full of snot in his pocket. Another example - the Chines people don't use the expression "I don't think . . ." Their logic tells them that if a person doesn't think, then he has no thought to convey to anyone} Good luck, my friend!

    This is a super important video for all levels. As a coder, I like the points you made, one thing I would recommend is not learning about specific syntax, that can be looked up. The important part in my opinion is understanding the basics of program flow, data structures, etc. If you know how a loop works, how variables and inheritance works, how a stack(function/subroutine calls) works you will have a foundation or at least level ground for a foundation to be built on. Skill isn't knowledge but rather the ability to know what to learn to accomplish your goal. Anyways, that's what I think...

      @paladinsorcerer67 Год назад +2

      I somewhat disagree. AFAIK, the algorithms you learn in computer science school are good for exercising your brain and getting into the mindset of how to solve problems, similar to math problems, but the actual algorithms taught end up being implemented in the language and you just call a function to use them. ie: searching and sorting. I've been coding for 13 years and learning new frameworks or languages is not trivial. If it were, they wouldn't be paying the big bucks for senior developer positions in the latest technologies.

    • @kylewkendall
      @kylewkendall Год назад +3

      @@paladinsorcerer67 that is fair, but maybe it is something in between. Maybe a beginner doesn't need to know all the ways to search a binary tree but does need to know how to use a loop and an if. Maybe a beginner doesn't need to understand the whole framework, just the parts they plan to use. A beginner doesn't need to code efficiently but need to revisit and learn what they could improve. Do you think this is more close to what it is?

    I found value at a very young age in taking something that worked, breaking it, observing and identifying what it was supposed to do, and repairing the “damage” to see it working again. My parents were supportive when on any given Christmas morning, I might have been gifted a new toy that by that afternoon I had completely destroyed. I literally would grab a hammer and start bashing on it to open it up. I was motivated by my curiosity to see what was inside and to see how it did what it did. It was awesome!
    While other parents might have “discouraged” this behavior, I was fortunate that mine didn’t, because the day came when I learned what a screw was, that there was a thing called a screwdriver, and that I could open up ANYTHING and still see it working! That was probably the most epic day of my childhood, if not my life.
    Breaking what works is a skill. It feeds my curiosity and learning, even to this day. Dare I say, it has opened up many opportunities for growth throughout my life and career.
    Thank you my friend. What you share are the best parts of who I aspire to be.

    I’m currently a millwright (industrial mechanic). I am currently actively teaching myself PLC and welding whenever I can. I’ve learned to lean on Reddit forums. I’ve been reading free source information about plc and studying the basics until I can get my laptop up and running and run simulations. Programming pays extremely well and I just have an interest in honestly speaking, just about everything. I love coming to your channel and taking notes on your work. I can’t wait to have a dedicated space for my tinkering.

    That last tip of teaching someone, especially young children is part of the Feynman way of learning. His philosophy was if you can explain an idea/concept to a toddler then you understand and know the concept.

    The tip in asking the expert is amazing. There is such a fear in asking an expert. Fear of looking dumb, fear of being snubbed. I have found that most people want to help. Especially subject matter experts. I know there are a few arrogant jerks out there. If you get that one, just move on.
    Please, please keep sharing HOW you do the things you do, including the mistakes. This is what makes your channel so accessible.

    I think it's important to remember that the process is the important part of any project, and that includes the failures. As a maker, I work on things because I want to experience the process. Yes, it's nice to produce something that is usable and that I am proud of. But, for me, the experience, knowledge, and skill gained along the way are always as much or more valuable as the finished product.

    Simple in execution, yet this is one of the best videos I've ever seen on all of RUclips. Why? Because I personally feel every one of these steps (and almost in the same order given) are actually guidlines to live the life you've always dreamed (within reason). There's a lot of psychology, physiology, and cognitive research backing the efficacy of the things he is mentioning. Simply excellent! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

    About deepening skills: Using youtube's (or an offline player) speedup functions. A few years ago, I had to get up to speed in machine learning/deep learning. Now my problem was that I was not a total beginner, I was actually pretty good in it, but my knowledge was obsolete in many angles of that fast moving field. Problem is, I lacked some of the recent beginner knowledge but knew 90% of it. So I just found good online classes, watched then at x2 or x1.75 speed (I could barely understand the words) and would slow it down only when it got to things I did not already know. Not a "learn a new skill in 5 minutes" but compressing a 10 hours curriculum in 5 is still a nice time saver!

    I used to work as a technical teacher in a lighting and filming studio - so I often had to teach students who weren't familiar with the tech, the terms, or the workflows. When I had a first lesson with a group, the best way I found to overcome the initial inertia was to teach the principle that 'If a thing is worth doing well, then it's worth doing badly.' To this end I'd spend a few minutes describing the very basics of how to set up a shoot and then without risking harm to the equipment or the students I'd invite them to go ahead and do it all as wrong as they could.
    This way instead of worrying about failure being a bad thing, it actually became the initial desired goal, which meant that people got involved and collaborating with each other very quickly. Usually within a very short period of time the students would just start to click as to the things they could do to improve the shoot, and because they were already collaborating and moving things around the lesson would naturally morph into how to do it right. Everybody has fear of failure when they first start doing things, but if they can overcome the inertia and just start doing the thing, even if they're doing it badly, then it is so much easier to learn and practice.

    I believe you are blessed, brother. I have been trying to construct a formula for the same topic but despite all the detailed guideline, there is one aspect that cannot be manipulated: the intrinsic drive. Most people have it. Some people have more some people have less and then there are those who are empty inside. I used to be the one who had so much of it that I became obsessed with progress but somehow, it disappeared out of no significant reason. Now I'm waiting for it to come back. If it does come back, I will then have a better appreciation of that 'drive' and I believe it is truly a blessing not everyone possess.

    Giving myself permission to be terrible was such a game changer! It's like the old parable of the pottery class. Some students made 3 projects, perfectly. Some students made hundreds of projects, badly. At the end of the course, the students who had done more volume were able to quickly make perfect pots on the first try.
    Something not mentioned in the video explicitly - clearly state the project's goals, so you can change how the project gets that done. I work in software, so I'm a bit biased, but there's always another way to get the job done. If one tool/approach isn't working for you, sleep on it, watch some youtube videos about something completely unrelated, and you'll often find another way to accomplish the same thing.
    Creativity comes after sleep. The brain needs time to let the subconcious chew on problems. If you're stuck, sleep on it for a few days, work on something else. You'll come back with some new test you can run, or a cheaper way to get the work done.
    Thanks Jeremy for all of your work! It's really helpful to see someone else who troubleshoots for a living :)

    This is what I needed. Thank you Jeremy as always. The road ahead is daunting, and there might be moments that might tell you to turn back or to give up, but that is normal. In fact your suppose to feel that way, the challenge . The difficulty of the task is why your here in the first place. It's suppose to hard, it's suppose to be the gatekeeper, your own trials. If it was easy, then the task wasn't important enough. Until then keep inching at it. My recommendation for advice would be to document everything so you can see what milestones you went over and see how far you are. It's hard to keep track of anything nowadays since there's soooooo much going on.

    This is a very timely video, thanks. I have just started school for mechanical engineering, and it's a huge transition from my previous career in automotive and metalworking.
    A big thing I have learned already is to understand your learning style. You may be visual, aural, more text or more hands on in how you best absorb this information. It's also not the same for other people, so if you are not able to get a hold of a concept from one source, try another. This is where your statement of having multiple teachers really helps. As an example in my own life, looking at diagrams of automatic transmissions it seemed like some sort of black magic going on in there, but when I opened one up myself if could easily understand it.
    I'm always looking forward to more of your educational content, thanks.
