My dream is becoming a mathematician. Right now I'm preparing to Mathematical Olympiad. The best way to improve is to try these hard problems on your own. Therefore, this is what I'm doing. I have really enjoyed the video. It captured that concept really well. I wish more people known this. Greetings from Poland.
If anyone is interested (and I know some people are), here's an update: I did manage to get to the finals of Polish Mathematical Olympiad, but nothing beyond that, so no international competitions or anything like that. I am still interested in mathematics and am likely to keep pursuing it. Although I am a little bit bummed down and feeling unmotivated after failing my goals this year. Also, after the summer break I will begin my first year in Uni. Tbh I completely forgot I even posted this, in the mean time my math skills have improved a lot, but I've also realized just how much I still need to work on.
I've learnt one thing so far in my life. This comes from a man who wanted to study languages in university, found this channel, started working hard in school to get into aeronautical engineering and is now in second year engineering. The only way to effectively learn something if pomodoro and all those stuff don't work for you, is to spend time with it and love it - something I don't get with engineering but I love it
Your content never disappoints. Great job with the video, keep up the good work. Hearing words like this is what people might need when they feel lost. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this. I am honestly so scared of becoming stagnant, yet I can't seem to break that barrier. I think I just need to discipline myself and allocate time to expend more effort when it comes to the hobbies/things that interest me.
First. It's the accumulation of little things that separate the experts from everyone else. Thanks for another great video Zach :) good talk yesterday too, I really appreciate being about to share thoughts on our RUclips journeys. Cheers brother.
Very good video, been watching your channel for a few weeks now and one of my top favorites, very informational on things i didn't know what to look up. Thanks dude
It's how to focus effectively based to allocate you to next hard level. It's not always easy to focus on good things. You could try on distractions and you'll get them bad by focusing how no effect they'll get on you. Thanks for this delibrate practice. I'll settle myself to the better level.
Wow this help me to improve my self a lot to learn. I will gave this person a Thom's up well done this may learn people to be better at what they do and don't think you're better than anyone.
Back in high school, I used to remember my mother's library card numers in order to use the the computer, and that was like 16 degits.. lol. Kids don't think of limits, they only need goals and a push fo3 their evil agenda
My teacher has done this practice..He does derivative of complex functions in mind...and determinants of 3x3 matrix 10x quicker than usual of us....Thats is extreme level of practice and cool stuff...perfect vd as always bro
Be a master of mind, Then let fate decide which area you will marry,try to remember as many details of him/her/it as you can during the marriage,no more...... Be a expert of life.
You know what, I’ve had a 1450 elo (offical chess rating) for about a year now, and I kinda stopped playing as I was better than the average in my club and I feel comfortable. But after watching this video I realised I probably could be way better. From now on I’m going to work on my chess more.
I find that I've run into the opposite problem where I'm so non-content with what I can currently do that I overwhelm myself with more then what is reasonable for my current skillset. This also results in me wanting to give up before I've made any considerable progress.
Hey majorprep I absouloutly loved your channel and hope you continue to keep up with this channel. I myself want to be an engineer (still choosing which one) but I would love to know what drew you towards your major? Thankyou for all the help. Without this channel I would be doomed!
Great Video. Do you have any study techniques advice for courses such as electronic circuits and power electronics (diodes, transistors, memory circuits)? I am currently studying electronic circuits design by Sedra and Smith. I am not quite sure what I should focus on. I really want to master analysing and understanding an electronic circuit. Great work! If you come to Sweden 🇸🇪, let me and other Swedish fans know!
I am studying civil engineering, I have 90 average in drawing, 70 for chemistry, 60 for theory of structures etc. Guess what subject I give the most attention to, I had 3 years of drawing in high school, but I can do it so I rarely spend any time on it if I know I need to grill on the hard subjects. Some of my fellow students are failing, but it's practice, math and equations should not be numbers, it should be a language, it should be a habit, first sememster a guy said he has to pull out his calculator to calculate 400-300...needless to say he was the laughing stick of the day, bit of on the spot stupidity, it happens, bit challenge yourself, good video😊
When you say it like that, I don't like the idea of being an expert. I rather be ok at multiple things, rather than putting all my time into becoming the best in one thing. Keeps life more fun and interesting.
My field of work is electrical engineering. And yes I mostly run the channel by myself. But to get all the videos on various majors I always sit down with someone who has recently graduated with the degree and we usually talk for a few hours to get a script together. So every video on other majors and careers has been done by doing research myself but after collabing with someone with personal experience.
Wrong, the 10k hour thing is a myth. Simply doing something a lot doesn't make you better at it. Deliberately working on your weaknesses is what makes you better.
Not at all the same. If you think about it, there's lots of things many people have spent 10k hours doing without trying to get better at, and are just as good/bad at as they were near when they started. Like driving a car for example, or reading. You don't get better simply by doing it, you have to work at improving. A classic example; you could learn the basics of tennis. Enough to play the game. Then you play tennis with poor form, say, a terrible backhand, every day and eventually wrack up 10k hours. You'll still be about as bad as when you started, with the exact same terrible backhand. You have to deliberately work on your problems, with difficult tedious drills designed to improve specific skills, to improve. Merely playing without focus on improvement will not result in improvement, even after 10k hours of playing. The 10k is completely different to deliberate practice, and is a myth that needs to die because it's preventing a lot of people from improving at things.
@José Marques Not true. Read what I wrote + watch the video, as you've missed the point. Just doing something a lot doesn't make you good, -practicing- for improvement makes you good. Massive difference.
Not the point but I'm getting into powerlifting and have been for awhile I can tell you with certainty that genetics are more important than being smart people with elite genetics can run linear progression novice programs for a lot longer with faster results whereas someone with average genetics will have to learn more advanced programming to sustain progress
Dear sir zach, I watched the video and it was really helpful.thank u. What i want to ask is that what if u got multiple interest.say u r an electrical.engineering student.its ur passion and u want to design some of the most complex circuits out there.but u at the same time also interest in say pure mathematics,where people in this field really make u thrill.and following that u started to learn math in ur own.say u cover the usual courses that is being taught at undergrad mathematics.then u move on to learn grad standard math.but u see the more r u going into,the mors u r getting lost as there is no end,as the papers getting heavier.so in this situation where u got both things in ur mind,what should.u do? Will.u make one ur hobby and other subject ur field of expertise? I feel sometimes very awkward of having such dual feeling.i end up going nowhere.sigh
I see no evidence of what your talking about in the video. All I can find is about HM a scientific case that proved that motor skills can be learned not by remembering but by pure practice but nowhere does it ever say about remembering numbers.
It really doesn't matter how much you practice. The main requirement is hereditary power and characteristics. If you have natural ability and even if you practice less you will definitely be better than the one who hasn't got any natural talent.That's it.👍👍👍👍👍

Greetings from Poland.
I love mathematics too, and I encourage you to keep up that spirit!!!
Keep it up. Wish you the best.

This is one the best self-help/self improvement videos out there.

Thanks for the comment!
SOLID VIDEO! Best I’ve seen on this particular topic. A 10/10 video on deliberate practice.
Thank you so much for this. I am honestly so scared of becoming stagnant, yet I can't seem to break that barrier. I think I just need to discipline myself and allocate time to expend more effort when it comes to the hobbies/things that interest me.
wow this is one of those youtube vids that don't get many views but are really helpful

Good Timing, I wanted this
I am consistent and go out of my way watching such videos and actually dont do anything that i would want to do.

The experiment about the guy recalling 80 digits motivates the hell out of me! That’s incredible
Love this! Focus is the most important part of becoming an expert for sure!
Very good video, been watching your channel for a few weeks now and one of my top favorites, very informational on things i didn't know what to look up. Thanks dude
I got bored in 9th grade and memorized pi in groups. After about 5 months I was up to 82 digits. Still know it 30+ years later.
When I was 10 I did the same thing. I grouped them into groups as well and then made them into a little sonh

How is it going so far? An update on what happened?
Thanks! This gave me the motivation I needed right now 🙏🏾✨
I want to be a physicist. I'm starting to implement deliberate practice in my life, it'll have to work
It's time to forget worldly desire and focus on something specific rather than feeling shit and doing nothing
I find that I've run into the opposite problem where I'm so non-content with what I can currently do that I overwhelm myself with more then what is reasonable for my current skillset. This also results in me wanting to give up before I've made any considerable progress.
I can totaly relate to that. ^^

This video is Gold.
How do you apply deliberate practice in programming and software engineering in general.
Very informational. Thank you
It sucks to hit a wall. It happened to me in my hobby and I hated that hobby since then. It's like I regretted the time I had invested.
8:07 I have ADHD and this sentence describes why deliberate practice is impossible for me!

You add lot of value to our lives
Sad that u have less no of subscribers
i don't know why they don't sub in your channel i think that u're so helpful
Thank you
Good message

I was wondering what field of engineering you work in @majorprep. Do you run the channel by yourself?how does it work?
My field of work is electrical engineering. And yes I mostly run the channel by myself.

MajorPrep alright. Thanks man. Your videos have been very helpful.
U got me on reading books part X_x thx btw I thought writing notes for books is just a waste of time..
Well done.
Thank you!
Answer: aproxamtly 10k hours give or take. on a side note I got an ad about being an expert lol
Wrong, the 10k hour thing is a myth. Simply doing something a lot doesn't make you better at it. Deliberately working on your weaknesses is what makes you better.
Mark Dickie same difference no?

What you said is true but
*10k hours of deliberately working rule* is also True it's not a myth
@José Marques Not true. Read what I wrote + watch the video, as you've missed the point. Just doing something a lot doesn't make you good, -practicing- for improvement makes you good. Massive difference.

So before those researchers came along, people couldn't remember phone numbers?
What research is the person remembering 82 numbers at?
I see no evidence of what your talking about in the video. All I can find is about HM a scientific case that proved that motor skills can be learned not by remembering but by pure practice but nowhere does it ever say about remembering numbers.
