@@blearyblazon4355 Bless you. 🙏🏽
You are absolutely correct. I tried too many things at once and failed miserably. It only pushed me to be more depressed about not completing my schedule.
True 😭😭😭
Real
Having read numerous comments below, I wanted to contribute by saying that the book DOES NOT say that you should choose one passion/thing in life at the cost of all others. It's more about focussing on "one thing" - the most important thing - at a time, such that, by doing it, everything else becomes easier or unnecessary (obviously within a context).
As you well know, our lives are full of things that pull at us. Personally, I might waste a lot of time doing things I *know* are not the best thing I could do, yet I do them anyway. But I might also spend a lot of time doing something I genuinely think is the best thing for me to do at the time, and I end up dropping the idea later for whatever reason. The important message of the book, which, if we think about it, is that we can't usefully divide our focus and expect quality results in everything. Something's got to give. So, if we choose the "one thing" that makes the most sense, and if by doing it, it creates a domino effect on some of the other things we have to do, then we've made a good choice.
Like a gentleman who wrote earlier said, he has 2 passions - music/signing and wrestling. Coincidentally, I love music and singing. In fact, I used to record my music. And like him, I found that other interests started to take over. If they are hobbies and neither is linked to an income stream (whether immediately or hopefully one day), then you can weigh up what time you have (or can make) available to dedicate to each of those (if you want to do both), and then FOCUS completely on one of them at a time.
As I mentioned to him, if there's a wrestling technique he wants to master, perhaps commit to a set period of time to master it before working on another song. And when working on that song, don't stop between verses to do a bit of wrestling - unless he needs a break, and the wrestling is just to escape the studio for a bit.
In closing, it all depends on what the "one thing" is as to whether or not you can have other things potentially competing for your time and passions. If you want to perfect something or start a business based on a hobby, then that needs focus while other things can go on the back-burner. There's always a way of determining what the "one thing" is or needs to be, and the "one thing" is not the same as the ONLY thing". Rather, it's "the one thing - until the next thing", but managed well. :)
I like this summary... makes more sense now. As an aspiring filmmaker I need to master several key areas to make better movies: Writing, Producing, Directing, Camera & Lighting Technicalities, Editing, Selling, etc. So doing one thing at a time when I need it makes sense instead of learning it all at once.
Ya Prioritizing your Time according to the given situation is the most priceless skill!
Thanks you so much for summarize and you help me a lot.
@@alexpfleger5539omg yes same here I want to start a construction business of my own and I'm a civil engineer but for that business I'd also have to learn a bit of architecture..... Some interior design ... rate analysis .... quantity estimation and structural engineering and also site engineering and management.... like it's a lot and I thought I'd learn things simultaneously and then I'd become this jack of all trades and can run a one man business but now I've realised it's just not possible unless I'm a genius of the highest order which I'm not .... I guess I'm afraid of somehow losing on opportunities if I dont learn things within the time period I've set for myself..... I've decided now to learn one trait at a time and then one more for an hour as auxiliary learning.....
Wow tanks :P
Reminds me of Arnold Schwarzenegger who when asked about how he planned for being a world bodybuilding champion, a famous international actor and State Governor, he replied something akin to he never thinks about what he's going to do after his current objective. He only focuses on that one objective, "the one thing". Thinking about future plans diverts necessary energy and cognitive attention away from attaining the current objective! When he was a bodybuilder, he didn't think that much about becoming an actor and when he was an actor, he wasn't thinking about becoming a politician.
He puts everything into attaining one goal at a time, it's all or nothing. 100% focus on one thing only.
Awesome bro !
Arnie has actually made most of his wealth through land and property development. Rather than waste his acting money he invested wisely. Even owns some offices at Hollywood and collects the rents.
reminds me a part of the book that said that, you see people with alot of skills is because they have dedicated time throughout their life, well this is a bit inspiring for me actaully, because i think i am sort of a multipotentialite, this is a better view for me then actualyl just dedicating my self to oen thing honestly because that is so boring for plus i feel like i am diverse, the thing with being a multipotentialite is that you, choose how in depth you want to be in each thing so that solves, the balance thing actually
I'll come back to this comment. and see what i have grown
That works if the one thing is the one thing. Otherwise you've wasted your time working on the other thing that really wasn't the one thing.
Exactly the same phase I have been going through. Now I realise that I have been trying to focus on everything at a time and that has created a mess inside my head.
Thank-you so much for this video.!
Great video, one of my favorite books.
These are my notes on the book:
1. Make a to-do list according to the 80/20 principle and keep narrowing it down until you've got 1 thing that causes most of your effects.
2. Multitasking is a myth because we forget the cost of task switching. Don't multitask.
3. Form 1 habit at a time, because you don't have enough willpower to do more. Give it 66 days to establish and you can go on to the next. Whenever a habit is established, it doesn't need that much willpower anymore, so I think this is probably the closest way to the 'balanced life'.
4. Willpower is like a battery, it runs out. Do the most difficult stuff early, when you still have the mental energy.
( Note' Willpower is also like a muscle, you can train it through stuff like meditation. Great book; Willpower by Baumeister and The Willpower instinct by McGonigal )
5. Think big, if you aim for the moon you'll land among the stars, etc. Set goals twice as large so your actual goal is guaranteed.
Hope they are useful.
Marc Tjoe Fat Great notes! Thanks for sharing :)
Marc Tjoe Fat I don't understand point 5, if you're always setting high goals then won't you never reach the goals that you set, and get discouraged? Also, you mention aiming for the moon and landing in the stars, wouldn't setting goals too big be like aiming for the stars but landing on the moon? It's all relative to the goals you set, so coming short of every goal you set could be considered a failure.
By thinking big and setting high goals, it doesn't mean you can't achieve them. The gist of the message is that by thinking bigger, you'll achieve bigger things. ( I guess the author thinks most people set small goals )
Yeah I think you're right on goal-setting. A too big of a goal will result in discouragement, a too small of a goal will result in lack of challenge. Kinda like the book of flow.
(Source: Flow - Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi)
Note' if you do set high goals, make sure you have a follow-up goal after you have accomplished your initial goal. (ex. Henry Ford's high goal was to democratize the automobile. However, once he reached the goal, he didn't have a follow-up goal and you can look at the history records to see what happened next) (Source: Built to Last - James Collins)
The moon and stars thingy is a saying.
KeenWolfPaw The best example I can think of is e.g. Arnold Schwarzenegger who used to visualize his biceps's as mountain peaks. To your surprise they did never reach the actual size of mountain peaks, but the mindset, the visualization of his goal is one of the things that made him #1.
Yes I wanted to do gym, reading, guitar, learning a new language and travel but I failed to do all this things. It's essential for everyone to understand this we need to focus on only one thing. This video is accurate.
Can you still do all of those thing but focus their purpose on improving the item you're focusing on?
+Miles Bissay Nah.
There are too many things to learn, and that is just one discipline alone (guitar/gym/etc.) Recall the 10,000 rules? I assume so, in case you are a fan of this channel. Anyway, it takes that long to be really, really good at something. Imagine you wanting to master... 5 different things. Now you need 50,000 hours to succeed. Now, I'm not going to talk about the probability of you actually being able to do it, that's a different issue.
Try converting those hours to days. If you do them all continuously, without sleeping, it'll take you 2083,333 days, or 69,444 months. And if you can only dedicate 10 hours to your training, then guess what? 5000 days, or 166,67 months or almost 14 years. Good luck.
+Duy Do No bro please. The 10,000 hour rule is very misleading. There is a little thing called deliberate practice that very few people seem to know about. In the study that prompted the 10,000 hour rule is based on the average amount of time spent practicing by very promising violinist in Berlin. Here is an article on the matter: www.salon.com/2016/04/10/malcolm_gladwell_got_us_wrong_our_research_was_key_to_the_10000_hour_rule_but_heres_what_got_oversimplified/
As someone who mastered classical guitar to professional level over 25 years, I can say that it is misleading. The methods of teaching and learning are often very inefficient and can be done in less time if you have efficient practice and learning.
The interesting thing about self improvement is the question, why should we bother with all this stuff?
Were do these motivators come from? Are there definied by the media, magazines or by what we consider a good lifestyle?
Was it like that 10, 20 or 30 years ago ? This demand from the person of being sucessful at least in one area?
Being "average" at a half dozen things would be pretty awesome actually...
Haha!
FDJustin it's awesome when you can but you can't make a living out of most of these things..you have to take one of these that you are average to and perfect it..
FDJustin
im average at more than half a dozen things - but trust me - it is not making me happy, and it not making money for me - so i decided to concentrate on THE ONE THING - and since i learned how to learn - i will be able to learn other things one by one - and also i can make a mastermind group and take help from others to make things efficient
Super Abir i like this
Best video I’ve watched. I’ve had this problem for years trying to do too many passions all at once, and I’ve got nowhere with any of them because I’m not focused. It’s hard to choose just one thing when you have a lot of interests, but the only way to be really successful in something is to FOCUS and master your craft in one thing. You can always do something for a few years with focus. Then move on to something else after, that’s what I’m going to do.
Hey Claire , after choosing your one thing, what did you do with your all your other passions ?
Same here but i still give myself this motivation that I can do two things at once and still understand in depth both as far as going to convince myself that I can have two careers at once. Namely structural engineering and software engineering like I so badly want to be good at both want to be able to builds webapps but also design buildings. Both fields are completely unrelated and within structural engineering I have passion for interior design and architecture and guess what after two years I've wasted two years and become good at not a single thing. So I guess I gotta let go and hold on to one thing and get good and ignore the bitter fact that I won't and can't be good at multiple things atleast for now ....
And then there's DaVinci and Michelangelo: art, science, architecture.
Good point, but I think the existence of outliers will always continue.
+Hans Hoerdemann that's true but they had much lesser things to worry about than we do nowadays, like personal marketing, networking, business investments, time management, even personal finances were another thing back then.
+Hans Hoerdemann I don't think they dedicated their lives to everything at the same time.
+Hans Hoerdemann But they had students and other people who worked for them. They didn't achieve everything alone
+Hans Hoerdemann that is once in 400 year with extra ordinary IQ and most of the poeple don't have that
Thanks for the video. Btw, there's this thing called the 100 hour rule, whereby you do something for a hundred hours without distractions and decide whether you want to keep learning that task or drop it and go for another one.
Loop : Choose one thing;
Find out that you actually love another thing;
Drop it;
Your absolutely right also 10k hours makes you an expert at something.
I'm doingggg this thank you !!!
@@user-nc6bd5je2z😂😂 lol yea it's a dangerous loop to fall into
You and I are the same, we both have get the same passion and understanding from these books, I used the same books you review to turn my life around. I am amazed about how I can never find a mistake in the videos and your great spot-on analyses and interpretation of the books. It gives me much faith, nobody can really understand what those books did for me, but you can, because they did the same for you. They give you everything you could ever wish. Keep up the great job, you will have an amazing future.
Kwinten Olaerts Hey, thanks so much! :)
+Kwinten Olaerts You Don't find mistakes in the videos because you either -
1.only se a glorification of your own experience an your own path.
- as it is so similar to yours you se a confirmation that your choices were corect.
- So in the proces of being ameized that an other person went thru so similar path you are to shocked to look for mistakes
- And yes there are mistakes in the videos or "semi mistakes" they might be corect with the boock kontent bat they are not always the strongest or do not explain of the concequences risks of this or that.
- So the reason you don't see mistakes is because you just compare with boock you DON'T LOOK for them especially as I do . ( I allways try to find weaknes , weak spots - and the amplitude of the subjects at hand is so big that it simply is imposible to not to make mistakes ) There allways are weaknesses in any strategy plan or philozophy.. Be trying to find them you actually push you self to think to " work " on every single statement as well as the way it fits or afects the segment and by so the whole rest .
+klaudiusmarcelus I think it is funny there are mistakes in your spelling
Uncle Joes Yeah I write fast and I am from eastern europe. So you might be right it probably Is.
Uncle Joes, what's even funnier is that it's a bit like the story of the madman who turns to someone and says :'I think you are crazy!'. I once met someone like that, they called him 'Uncle Shakespeare'.
I can definitely relate to this. When I left school and realized I had all this time to create, I tried to do everything at once and ended up accomplishing little to nothing. I spent more time planning reading and daydreaming rather than actually doing. Over time, I've come to learn some of this book's aspects naturally, but I can still be a scatterbrain, so it really helps to have someone put it in concrete terms. Great Vid :)
***** Awesome, yeah, this happens literally all the time. Glad you resonated with it :)
Thank you for this
I love your little wing cover
Bad news for persons with ADHD :D I am one of them... Since I get bored veeeeery easily I need to do different things, not only one. Life works for me like a recipe: there is one major ingredient (one field to try to be a success, which is my profession), and if I want an exiting meal I have to put some "seasoning" in it (playing musical instrument, do some sports, reading, listening music, do something creative). Since these "seasonings" are just a pinch of my time, I don't feel them bothering my major goal. They spice up the journey. ;)

You are changing people's lives forever. Thank you for helping me change mine.
Benjamin Strauber Really happy to be a part of your growth! :)
Predictable. When I was in primary and secondary school, I was forced to spend a lot of time doing homework across a wide range of subjects. No wonder I never felt close to mastering any of them! The system sets us up to be mediocre at best.
I remember being super envious of the kids that were lucky enough to go to a school with "block" scheduling. Meaning, you only do 4 subjects a semester. Even more jealous of the kids that did that part time and went to a "work study" program were they'd teach you a trade skill for free. Though, that was always reserved for kids with poor grades.....I feel like, everyone should have a shot at "plan B".
When you're growing up or developing, it's always good to have a wide range of knowledge base. Then you can choose to focus afterwards.
Reminds me of the scene from City Slickers when Curly tells Mitch to focus on one thing and that everything else “don’t mean shit”. Mitch then asks him what’s the one thing, and Curly says “That’s what you have to find out.”
I couldn't agree more. I was on an overly ambitious path for a really long time. I want good at almost anything until I really refined my goals. This video may save a lot of people some wasted time and heartache. Good stuff.
I think I ♡ you. You have no idea how "on time" and perfect your videos are. I'm a therapist and I repost your videos to my page and use them in my sessions. This will used today w/ a young lady/teen who struggles w/ ADHD. Perfect!
Great video! Simple and to the point. When I was 18 years old, I was trying to box and train for a bodybuilding show. Both of my coaches made me stop and told me I had to make a decision in which direction I needed to go. Best lesson I've ever learned and it worked for 10 + years. But today.... I seam to struggle again. I'm in the 2nd read of The 1 Thing and doing the work. This book has hit home for me. Thanks for the share.
I really really enjoy this channel. Found you at the beginning of the week and I've been absolutely hooked since. You're doing a great job!
I'm here becoz I was upset by a friend who call me lazy due to I tend to focus on one thing. But your video make me feel happy to prove that I am doing the right thing. Thank you!
Me: Wanting to read 20 books at the same time
Your reviews are the best. It gives me a better view and understanding of books previously read. Would rather watch your review before reading a new book. Thanks for your contribution.
LOVE the passion and honesty.
You definitely picked the right thing to focus on.
I normally avoid self improvement channels like the plague but dude, subbed!
Thank you
Somehow, you manage to bring exactly the best answer when you need it the most, even if the video was posted several years ago. Thank you for your work! It really can contribute a lot to people's lives.
I love how all these self development books written by men completely neglect to mention household chores. Like do they all have a housekeeper? Who is doing their grocery shopping for them? Who's doing laundry? Who is cleaning the house? Not to mention kids or pets.
That's where the woman behind the man comes in. Lol 😆
I get your point but the the takeaway here is how to deal when you have many things in mind...applicable to household chores as well
That’s actually not true... many self development books mention chores like cleaning ur house, taking out the trash, etc. sounds like ur just trying to say men don’t do household chores. Newsflash real men don’t rely on women to do shit for them.
Veronika Christen, you hit the nail on the head! Let's go deeper down the rabbit hole now: At least these "authors" and "successful people" are out there either to fulfill a narcissistic need, or to make a buck. What surprises and shocks are the huge numbers of people accepting these ideas verbatim and never asking the right questions. You yourself are limiting the issue to the chores thing. Most of those people don't need to work either.
@Wemple say who what now?
the key, imho, is finding a way to integrate your lifestyle with your goal. for example, i often go to the gym for 2 hours a day namely because i need a break from doing what is im focusing on. working out is meditational for me. and when i come back from my workout i feel refreshed to continue doing what i was doing. but i get your point. thanks!
I agree, exercise and meditation will increase mental clarity which will increase your performance on what your studying or working on. If you use them
Wisely
Thank you! I absolutely appreciate these summaries. This one happens to be one of my favorites.
congrats for the channel man!
Just what I needed to watch! Thank you so much for bringing this video to life mate. I've distributed my mind into a thousand things I aim to do daily. But that approach has done nothing but to just kill me psychologically. I'm gonna flush the clutter and focus on what's really important and makes me happy at the same time! Cheers!
Excellent review! Your analogies always make perfect sense to me! Thank you for these videos! They're a big help and you're great at what you do!
CheCheBabe Thanks so much! :)
You have given me a tool that is helping my kids greatly. I've been trying to get them to see the value of reading for years. Now they are excited. We are having discourse about your material. Furthermore, I lead a team of 27 professionals. I have started sharing your work with them. Keep it up you are adding value to the lives of many.
I'm glad you're posting more frequently, I really appreciate it!
jpayne511 Glad to hear that!! :)
This is awesome man, I read the book, but not even the book was as clear and cut to the point to me as your video. Great video! A piece of constructive art!
Explained generously !! thanks FightMediocrity
Thank you so much for doing these book review videos. They help me a lot and I hope you continue to do them forever bro.
Excellent find. Thanks much!
This made so much Sense!
But going to the gym is important!
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK MAN! I appreciate it :)
dijgoho Haha, thank you!! :)
Love the video but what I love the most is the wit with which you explain things, it helps a lot to go through the whole video, it makes it more engaging and enjoyable to watch!
Can't believe Im just now coming across this video 6 years later.... THANK U SO MCH FOR THIS! You truly are a blessing for this. constantly trying to work on many different things and be on different platforms has been causing burnout lately & I now see the power of working on one thing at a time. Much appreciated!
I'm always tempted to do everything. My one thing is filmmaking, or learning about it, but I'm also passionate about painting, and want to learn about and get more involved in composing music, running a RUclips channel, philosophy, football... the list goes on :(
I guess some of these things can at least be done in your down time. I find that best ideas and inspirations come when I'm doing something where my mind is free to wander and yet is concentrating on a task. Such as painting or.. even copying notes (that was when I was in school/ college, obviously)
You are my hero, I thought I was crazy for believing The One Thing.
My one thing: writing. I droped out the idea of a "balanced" life-style like 2 months ago and it has helped a lot. The progress I have made in a couple of months destroys the "progress" I was having when I was focusing on more things at a time. It´s worth the effort. thanks for the video.
Pedro Rodriguez Ramirez Yeah, it's powerful! Thanks for sharing your experience :)
This channel is truly awesome. Thanks for your effort and sharing. Keep on trucking.
While this idea does apply to the majority of the population, there have been people in the past and still are living among us in the present that have mastered more than 1 thing in their life.
*Leonardo Da Vinci* is an great example- historically named as the "universal man" he was "an Italian polymath, painter, sculptor, architect, musician, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist, and writer."
On the contrary, if you were someone like Da Vinci- you probably wouldn't be wasting time on youtube or watching these kind of videos.
In conclusion I agree with the idea of picking 1 or 2(at the most) things to focus most of your time into achieving mastery.
To do that. To get there. They focussed on one thing at a time.
Benjamin Strauber That is the only conclusion i got too and apply the one thing rule to everything you do
"You got that one thing"
-One Direction
Hahaha..
Thanks for posting these videos!
lightersiege worlder You're welcome :))
This is really great advice. To focus on one thing (or one thing at time) however you take it. Thank you for taking the time to create your videos.
Thank you for this video man
Mozart also excelled as a composer. And we can mention a lot of geniuses that excelled at many things like Da Vinci, Picasso, Copérnico, Isaac Newton, Platón, etc. For normal people i think is more accurate to say that is best to focus on one thing if they want to excel. But if you want to excel at something that has some level of complexity, creativity is a must, so it´d probably be good not to focus all your attention in one specific area.
The way u explain is literally awesome...I think u r focusing on One Thing while explaining😂
Keep rocking man,Good Luck👍👍👍
You're right. You've been uploading like crazy lately.
And i'm very thankful for that.
David Hatle Haha, glad to hear that David! :)
wow! you actually just silved my frustration in my life right now. i just couldn understand why am i only avarage in everything i do, but know it came to me that it's because i do a little of to much things. thank you so much!
Percussively why I did mediocre schoolwork while practicing guitar 3hrs or more then doing songwriting for another hr a day from the age of 11-15, got really good
My dang career keeps getting in the way of my one thing.
Make the one thing your career :)
Then it's not your career.. It's an unsatisfying job
@@richard_from_england333 Maybe. It is just that it take so much of my attention away from the other things I want to really invest my time in.
Awesome bro! Keep posting
Fantastic idea! Awesome video!
WE"VE ALL BEEN THERE
One of the main reasons is because they are not sure what to do. They've been assigned a task at work or they want to accomplish a personal goal but they don't do it because they don't know how. People in this group are paralyzed because they either: have no idea what to do or where to start.
Needed this! Thank you!
Awesome review. Fantastic illustration thank you.
This was difficult to watch as I’m having a similar pill to swallow, but a much needed watch. I keep trying to convince myself I can do everything well. But I know I can’t 😐
Yes we can, one after the other
Do them in sequence not simultaneously . . . based on priority. You will
Hahahahaha 0:37-0:58 sounds exactly like me incl. the 5 business Ideas (makes me crazy). Thanks for this video!
Thank you so much! It’s a really great and truth hitting video
Thanks man!!! Your videos are awesome!!!!
Da Vinci drops huge lols all over this video and the book its based on. dude was a fucking god.
Back then not a lot of things were known about the world, which is why polymaths were't rare occurrences. At present, one has to focus on one particular thing if he is to be truly great at it. But I agree, Da Vinci is GOAT :))
Furiousgrom take a look at this www.blickers.com/en/leonardo-da-vincis-glasses/ absolutely insane.
I just found your Channel today, I love it! I've read a lot of these, so it's great to have summaries to refer back to! There is a really good book by Grant Cardone that comes to mind that I read recently, dealing with this subject. It is called Be Obsessed or Be Average. It truly is the way that all super successful people became that way, no matter how hard we try to deny it.. Haha..
Well. . this makes sense! Thanks for sharing it. Your videos are always encouraging.
I can’t believe this video found me. I got into self-improvement last year, and ever since then I’ve been trying to do and learn so many different things at once, AND wanted to be the best at all of them. I thought that it would make me a well rounded person. It stresses me out that I couldn't get to all of them either. Watching this video was hard though. I feel like I don’t have that one thing I really want to be good at. (I’m a high school student though, I should time to think more about it)
damn, this is going to make me rethink a lot of things. very powerful stuff.
My one thing is being the best polymath. ;)
Jajajaja. Good use of language
You are doing such a wonderful work... Real good work!
great video man,keep up the good work!
Loved this book 📚 where you at tho??
Man I have to thank allah that I found your channel! and i have to thank you also for all the efforts you're making to help people you don't even know :D
haha that’s me all winter long, dreading my lack of discipline and disappointing myself over and over, I needed to hear this, thank you so much
Your videos are so awesome, it keeps me coming for more and has changed my attitude towards certain areas. Thanks
Does anybody know the name of the background music? It's just so relaxing I love it
If anyone has read the 4 hour workweek, people don't necessarily want to be millionaired, but want to experience life as if they were millionaires. Mainly having the freedom to do what they want, when they want. If you want to be Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, etc, then this may apply, but for people whose purpose is to enjoy life and live in abundance, you can do all those things, albeit, you wan't be one of the top 1%. It just comes down to what you value in life.
+Orgil Batzorig Very true
True. For me, to be honest, Ive wanted to be famous. To be recognised. Sounds vain. But thats my view of success. But everyone can have their own definition. ^_^

You are great! Thanks a lot for the inspiring videos!
Sad, but true. I've had so many interests over the past 5 years, but I think I'm starting to understand that I can't do everything.
what about polymaths? like Da Vinci?
I love all your videos, can't get enough! Thank you!!

2018!!
anyone???
I really wish you would come back!!! :)
tl;dr jack of all trades, master of none.
***** i can't remember what the context for this was anymore. hard to argue.
still, having one thing you're really into is more interesting for yourself (usually) than being half-hearted about a bunch of things.
Thank you for making these videos!
Thank you 🙏 I needed this
I say fuck that I'm going to do ALL OF IT and I will not fail!
+dligac Not about failing, about mastery :) ... Plus, many people mastered different types of things, but always, starting with the one thing, then the other, then the other... The main point here, doing all at once, is a guarantee average or fail... Good Luck though :)
+Mohab Rizkallah Yea i had to watch it twice to understand the idea, doing everything at once will fail, but i guess by focusing on the ONE thing and then moving onto the next ONE thing would be better idea. Correct me if im wrong.
Mohab Rizkallah ima do it because I just found out how to be REAL
and that's all that matters
+dligac elon musk did it, so why not give it a shot.
Bollog Nyessy EXACTLY!
