    Summary:
    1. Your most ambitious goals are possible to achieve. You just have to put in time and effort.
    (0:47)
    2. Advice is subjective. It is best suited for the person giving the advice but not necessarily for you. You have to think about it for yourself.
    (3:30)
    3. It is very important to put yourself in environments that are conducive to achieving your goals.
    (5:01)
    4. Develop deep and profound relationship with others.
    (6:40)
    5. Try to live a more minimalist lifestyle. Get rid of things that you don't need.
    (8:40)

    I disagree with Lesson 1 - just as you said in your "the truth about how I learned to code in six month" video, there _are_ some things that are only accessible to a certain group of people, such as becoming a professional basketball player like LeBron James

    • @sergiolozavillarroel3784
      @sergiolozavillarroel3784 4 года назад +3

      I agree with your comment but I'd still say that it is possible to achieve some level of success/improvement with enough effort.
      It might not be enough to achieve our most ambitious dreams though.

    • @clem
      @clem  4 года назад +5

      That's a fair point Michael. I suppose I was referring to dreams and aspirations that, after thought and analysis, you've determined _should_ somehow be achievable by you (for instance, unlike becoming LeBron James, running a decently successful business seems like an attainable goal to most).

    • @mskyba

  • @johnedwards8713
    @johnedwards8713 4 года назад +1

    So I'm practically a grandad compared to Clement but I think he makes some very good points.
    On the point about advice, I think its good to distinguish between solicited and unsolicited advice. If it's unsolicited advice then I've found that often someone is really projecting their circumstances on to you and therefore it probably has less to do with your actual situation than where the other person is internally or where they've come from on their life journey. (For example, if someone is in a state of fear due to, say, losing their job recently then they may discourage you from taking any kind of career/work risk, believing it to be more fraught with danger than it is really is.) If you solicit advice from someone you respect and who you know will be honest with you, however, then that person could potentially save you from experiencing a lot of pain because their advice may prevent you making mistakes they themselves made. There's much to be learned from listening to someone else's experience but you may have to distil the lessons in it for yourself.
    On the point about putting yourself in environments, it's also been my experience that the growth comes from putting yourself in situations which may be challenging and even quite uncomfortable; there is no growth in situations which don't stretch you but for many of us our natural instinct is to tend towards comfort. The rewards in life come to those who consciously avoid such instincts, embrace growth and resist self-limiting beliefs so, as the cliches goes, feel the fear and do it anyway.
    What Clement says about minimalism is very true. We all need to look at our consumption because it's just unsustainable. You should also think about this in terms of technological change: a lot of people I grew up with have huge collections of CD, DVDs and even vinyl; this is now junk taking up space but often we feel we can't throw it away because at some point that stuff was important to us and we paid money for it (hence the growth of the self-storage business.) The acceleration of technological change means nearly all goods have built in obsolescence so as soon as you buy anything then that thing is already beginning that journey to obsolescence (and that journey is getting shorter and shorter as technology accelerates.) On the other hand, money that is sensibly invested is attracting some kind of interest/return and so the effect is the opposite. Therefore, the actual act of consuming implies opportunity cost, the money you're spending today is invariably on something which is depreciating in value as opposed to an investment which is gaining value and which might provide you powerful options to the future you. This leads nicely to probably the most important lesson to understand: time is the most precious, non-renewable resource. If you're over-consuming in your 20s/30s - too many expensive holidays or shopping sprees in the LV boutique to impress your IG followers - then you're not only giving up money but you're also giving up the time your money could be growing in some investment to pursue projects later in life. This is the classic instant gratification vs delayed gratification choice and the optimal solution is to be at neither extreme. Or to put it another way, life is short but not so short that the bad choices you make today might not still resonate several decades later.

I have seen soulless people doing this kind of thing and you can really tell the difference. Please keep it up and please stay this level of human if you can. I am not a coder, I am not a worker in the field of any description, just a competent user and someone who understands tech on that level, but I understand what you are saying most of the time and you put it in ways that make it easy for that to happen. And your cat sounds really cute. :-)

    The minimalist lifestyle part is definitely subjective. (Huzzah as you said, part 2)
    That said, I guess it depends on your view as minimalistic.
    I myself live cheap, I only upgrade when I feel like I need to upgrade, I only buy when I feel like I need to buy.
    That said, the collections of games and game consoles I have where I've completed every game I own says otherwise. (Reason I'll never be successful is I enjoy my hobbies and my hobbies don't align with my work.)
    Living a minimalist lifestyle definitely isn't for everyone, yes it's beneficial but so is making your work your life, which frankly is what it feels like your "minimalist lifestyle" is. If you life solely for your work then you've got a significantly greater chance at becoming successful, that said most people don't want to live their work.

    My experience with AlgoExpert so far:
    - heared about it before, considered unnecessary for my 4y exp as Software Engineer
    - failed a test that was based on algorithms
    - considered Hackerranking, but actually decided to give a shot on AlgoExpert, bought both products
    - oooh... aaah... yea... okay...
    - got inspired. The more I advance, the more I like it. Very insightful (like this video, btw :) )
    Thank you very much for the masterpiece, Clement! I already see myself recommending to start with AlgoExpert before moving with anything else.

    Hi Clem, great video. My lesson from 25 to 30 is that everything you achieved, even if it took years, even if you think it can't, can indeed be lost in a heartbeat, so try to detach yourself from your accomplishments (financial, relationship, etc.). Hopefully this trends continues for you and you haven't reached your peak yet.

  • @ConnoisseurOfExistence
    @ConnoisseurOfExistence 4 года назад

    Great advice! I've been mostly following most of these. My childhood dreams proved harder to achieve though... I wanted to be a scientist, but I didn't know that I'll need money to study and to survive, to be able to achieve that... (studied 2 years Physics at uni) Not everything is lost yet. I've always believed in myself and never doubted my abilities, maybe a bit too much... I've been trying to put myself in places conducive to my aims. Have my 'special collection' of few very special friends, gathered from different points in my life. Live very minimalistic, actually most of my items and clothes are remnants from my ex, cause she was thinking that it's good to have tons of stuff... :D I just have 1 serious problem. I need to put more time into learning to code. But I have many diverse interests. And with following them, I'm self-sabotaging myself. I feel that I need to follow these interests to continue being me, but it's taking me too much time daily... I've always been living my life as like I have unlimited time, always have problems with time keeping and deadlines... I know that I have the abilities to achieve anything, but so far have been unsuccessful with my time keeping...

    I have a question. The course you provide in your website, can a beginner apply for the course or is does requires some experience in competitive programming or prior knowledge of data structure?

      Definitely good for a beginner! Our Data Structures Crash Course will give you everything you need to start tackling questions on the platform, and you'll learn everything from it as well as from doing the actual problems on the platform and watching their video explanations. You just need to know basic programming.
