This video covers a scientific discovery that you can learn almost anything that anyone else can.
A question that psychologists have looked for answers to is whether innate ability causes success or is it hard work. Could anyone become the next Einstein through extreme dedication? Well we don't actually know this. But through years of study, they've discovered that if you don't account for people are extreme sides of the spectrum, then pretty much what someone can learn, anyone else can also learn.
Whether you are entering college or trying to learn to play the guitar, your innate abilities are not a strong indicator of how successful you'll be. They've found that through strong deliberate practice and pushing through weak points, you can achieve much more than most others.

The big $6m question is though: how do you develop the ability to work hard and dedicate yourself? How do you go from lazy slacker to hard work discipline machine?
Set habits. Or get an Adderall script.
JUST DO IT! Yesterday you said tomorrow, don't let your dreams be dreams, so just DO IT!
comes from a necessity not a desire.

How much do you want to achieve your goal? How badly? How much are you willing to sacrifice?
@@mikeunleashed1 This works, kind of, but not too well . I have this mindset. I go to the hardest place I can enter, and this creates necessity to study hard, because I'll get expelled otherwise. So I study in the hardest faculty of one of the best universities of Russia, but I'm a straight C- student (1st year master). The necessity of not getting expelled doesn't create the necessity of getting anything higher than C-.
Conclusion: aim for greatness. Train to be a beast. Do not accept no's. Strive for salvation.
Also, Everything is emotional and involves your feelings

I hate to break it down to you, History is useless, just research college/Universites/trade schools intake requirements, if no history, then it's useless!!
A 50% is sufficient.
You should try hard in Math/Physics if you want to go in trade school. If you want to focus on engineering/technology than any Science subject except Biology is good. (Biology is niche and it's only good to go in healthcare.)
Remember, this is based on my experience as a Canadian, British Columbia student. Experiences may vary.
isn't 8th grade still middle school?
Lucas Harvey Dude forget middle school. If you're serious about education then passively sit through all your classes prior to grade 11. That's when it starts to matter, so I suggest you learn the grade 11/12 knowledge beforehand.
+Fake Frank Freshman and Sophomore year are also very important, if you get shit grades then, it's hard to get good grades after.
I got another method that Canadian highschool dropouts or students who want to save time can consider (I seriously wish I did it.), at my postsecondary there is the Technology Entry program, way better than traditional schooling, at least that specific postsecondary DOES NOT Require English 12, which is horrible and infested with "arts".
Yes, you do have to pay more money, but it saves time and your sanity in "prison". The technology entry program is 15 weeks, drop out and self study those topics online beforehand to keep up with the pace. There are plenty of study guides online by typing keywords "Physics 11 textbook" in Google or just take online courses beforehand and do the challenge exams. It will be more brutal than highschool, but you save over a year and a half. (If you are Canadian).
The postsecondary challenge exams are challenging though... Not recommend unless you are confident after self study in Coursera etc.
Another thing is some postsecondary does not require highschool graduation, so you save time.

Again, if you are in the US, do your research, you might be able to pay your way out of highscool.
Thank you, this gives me motivation to go after an engineering degree. It’s all about how much work you put into it, not by how smart you are
hey, did you start engineering or did you go for something else?
Awesome as usual.............can u make a video on how to study subjects we don't like
Mufaddal Samplewala this^^
Mufaddal Samplewala chew nicotine gum. try it. huehuehue
yeah i would still love a video on this 😂😂
@@mufaddalsamplewala772 😂😂4 years later
Learn how it's relevant to the things you do like
I agree with all you say in that video. Some class are difficult because the teacher is not that good.
How some student still succeed in those classes? Here is a few hypothesis:
- they stay at the end of class and visit the teacher often to ask questions. This show an interewst and encourage the teacher to reveal extra information that is not available to most student who stupidly assume that showing up at the class should provide full education.
- They already know the subject
- they query historical infornmation about the teacher, the type of exam, what keyword indicate a probable question on the exam, etc
- They get information that may appear as cheating such as copy of past exams
- They exercise political pressure directly of the teacher, telling them that they need A for some financial reason and they got A on every class so far
- they exercise same political pressure on the direct superior
- they get help from a friend, father, etc who guide them to learn efficiently
- they study more efficiently, with a regular schedule
PS: I witnessed a genius student and I can tell that he was doing many or even all of the above with some lazy ass teachers..
witnessed a genius student cheating?
Richard Feynman was a great example of this. He taught himself advanced physics and math when he was in high school, and is widely considered one of the greatest physicists of modern times. Yet he was no prodigy; his IQ was in the 120s (still significantly above average, but by no means genius).
The problem there is that 120 is quite a significant leap from the average of around 100. This video is all about the average person, and, IMO, the average person needs to put a LOT more work into achieving things Vs someone with 20 IQ points on them. They also have to go through a much larger amount of frustration/pain. It's like saying, "anyone can become Mr Universe" whilst leaving out the part that it would take the average man 3 times longer than someone with the right genetic potential.
This is why the average are average, because they have average innate intelligence. For them, to push past average will take a monunmental, unimaginable amount of suffering, something that 99.9% of people aren't willing/able to endure, and for good reason: If it takes me 3 times longer (including more frustraion/pain) to figure out a math problem than it takes someone with an above average IQ, then you extrapolate that across every single math problem - or _any_ skill out there - it doesn't take Einstein to figure out that the average guy is at a HUGE disadvantage, and will almost certainly not be able to sustain that level of pain/effort to reach anything close to 'mastery.'
I would suggest you'd have a _very_ hard time finding someone who is a doctor, scientist, engineer etc who has an IQ of 95-100, and an even harder time finding one who has reached the top of their profession.
Damn. I have an IQ of ~130 and this actually gives me some motivation.
@@futurez12 but adopting techniques like meditation , time management strategies can help
@@erlendberge423 same, 135iq and I actually think we can become as good or even better than someone like Richard Feynman just by putting in more than enough effort and hard work
Sorry. This is wrong. While I agree with the video, Feynman was a prodigy. He made grammatical mistakes quite often and one of his colleagues speculated that he must have done slightly below worse in the English section because "he didn't care about such things." But every single one of his colleagues said that he was a genius. And he was a Putnam fellow to. While you can get far further in life than you think you could, you can't be a Feynman.
Regarding the concept of riches, by the way, you don't need to be a genius. You can be a normal bloke and still be a decamillionaire. Billionaire is another matter (still possible but harder) and it also depends a lot on timing.
I was feeling like I wasn't smart enough to be an engineer, thanks for the motivation! And thanks for giving me an idea how to study for math classes :~)
Did you become an engineer ?
Hey, did you become an engineer or not, it's 5 year's, I'm in same situation please reply
heyyy, did you study engineering or did you do something else?
This... is exactly what I needed to hear.
Thanks to you, I am considering majoring in Engineering. The impact you are making is real! Keep up the excellent work!
Been watching your videos for a bit now, your attention to detail and specifics are astounding and motivational. I am about to graduate in the spring with a business degree, and have really been thinking of getting a degree in electrical engineering. Your videos have laid out a good foundation on what to expect, and how to overcome these tougher challenges that I may face. I appreciate your time and effort to help those that are seeking the same knowledge.
Khan Academy also covers this in their Growth Mindset course, great stuff.
Thanks for posting this video. I really needed to hear this today.
Man you're so awesome! You have really good advices that motivate me to keep on going!
Here's my opinion on this as well.
A couple of decades ago in Einstein and Mozart's years, society didn't have smartphones, Netflix, RUclips etc. When people wanted entertainment they had to wait months to go see an Opera or listen to music at the venue. So people had a lot more free time to tinker around and improve their craft. Mozart probably got up, ate something, and worked, worked, worked until dinner, sleep and went at it again. They were disciplined because the distraction was a lot less back then.
Today, we have all these distractions. Just imagine if you didn't have a Computer, Phone, and Wifi. You could probably become the next Mozart or Einstein if you only did one thing all day every day.
So, if you want to get better at something, really commit. Downgrade to a shitty phone, limit wifi use, and focus all your attention on the erea you want to get great at. You're getting bored? Do work. You want entertainment? Do work. Any other urge exept for sex, hunger, thirst and bladder activities, DO WORK. You'll be succesful in no time.
Sex is a distraction, but I understand ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
you have a point, I agree.
Distractions are voluntary. We all have the ability to ignore them.
Forty years ago, I gave away my TV, and never watched again. That's like getting several hours of extra life a day.
Imagination is one thing too.... Thats what separated einestine form others of his time
Really enjoyed that video! Keep up the great work.
Honestly, I really needed this. Thanks!
Man thank you so much! I definitely needed this!
thank you so much, this is exactly what I've been looking for for a few days
This is exactly the video i've been looking for. Thank you Zach
Thank you for this video. Everyone should watch it.
Wonderful video, thank you for making this ❤️
Your videos are always enlightening and very well made
Great video, wish i seen this in high school but it's very relatable right now in college as an engineer major.
7:54 The though on this one got me, I needed that. Thanks.
Excellent Presentation!
This video helped me a lot. Congrats!
love this so much--thanks for the video. i am a comp sci major and often have a bit of doubt about whether i can get thru this degree !!
Fantastic content, thank you!
I don't Know why you have so few subscribers. Great job 😉
Ehsan Qazi cause if everyone watched these videos they would all become successful and the successful to average ratio is low
How many subs did he have when this was posted?
@@beeasy247 like 20k i think
@@ethangaming3487 Wow sick
Thank you so much for the advice 😁
that was a damn kind of a motivational video, thanks a million times
seriously great video!
Excellent as usual!!!
You see, Einstein wasn't trying to be "the next Einstein". (And I don't know much of anything about Mozart, but I doubt he was trying to become famous at the age of 12 or whenever he started composing.)
Einstein loved physics and immersed himself in it. His focus was on the problems he saw in contemporary physics and chemistry, not on his ego and how he'd be perceived after his death.
thanks man this video is awesome
This was exactly the pep talk I needed
Excellent video!
I've been playing trumpet for over 50 years and a piece of advice I was given when I was younger is ' Always play with people that are better than you '
How are you as a player?
I figured this one out awhile back, just takes commitment and the true desire for certain things
as usual very good man!!
Great job as usual
I really needed to hear this today :)
Bro ima cry. This is great to hear. Time to put it into practice
Sir i have been following u for a month and i feel that you probably are best youtuber and influencer out there.... I am seriously in love with physics... I am good at it too... But i felt i was a little weak in maths.... After listening to what u had to say... I started to analyze whats wrong and finally found it had nothing to do with my intelligence... ..it was just that i never knew the true nature and vastness of maths and this forced me to not like maths ... Took me almost 2 days to figure out but was worth a life time...
Awesone insight. Thanks.
This video was awesome!
This video is telling that there are in fact super talented people that the average peasant can't match. It rather demotivates than motivates
Dude i love your channel so much! Can you please make a video on whats the best major for the financial industry. Im currently a finance major, but im thinking of switching to applied math or stats. What do you think'?
Thanks, zack. I needed this, I'm taking circuits 2 and struggling
Great video

Awesome quote
Very nice video, incredibly interesting.
Wow it was super helpful
so saying someone is genius is an insult to their hardwork
Personally, "gifted" is more insulting. Often been told that, but people don't understand that I spent thousands of hours at one thing while others might have just "tried it out"
@@neuroxik I absolutely agree!!! I strongly feel that consistent decisions and dedication to something can largly outdo "natural talent" and so attributing skills to having a natural gift is an insult to the truth in most cases.
Nice work dude.
Thank you!
thank you.
I am literally struggling at my very first math class in college, having stated my first year of M.Sc in Engineering three weeks ago and Calculus is starting in a month.
This video helped. I know I can do this!
How was it?
Did you graduate ?
Where do you work at?
you really motivated me thank you
I love your channel dude. Can you make one on the difference between doctors and nurse practitioners ? There are some RUclips channel that try to explain it but fail terribly. I'm sure you can do the best one ☝🏼
awesome motivation videos
Good advice for life after school, too.
Thank you.
Love your subject, understand things
Thanks
Loved the guitar comparison. It's basically what is happening to me. I see people playing guitar at uni that have more years of practice yet they seem to have bad intonation or bad dexterity. I've played for just more than 2 years and i have a lot to learn yet, but i'll get there
Great video, very motivational. However, one burning thought as I was watching: what about people who already face many more obstacles than others in the first place? Sometimes it's more about having to overcome more and bigger obstacles than deciding to.
Do you have any videos or suggestions on how to ensure you are deliberately practicing versus treading water?
Bravo! This video should silence and squelch all excuses or protestations about not being good at this or that subject.Personally,there's not a better motivational challenge or reason to undercut lazy tendencies and slothful inclinations.An excellent hope-filled piece.
amazing video keep it up
I was never particularly intelligent growing up, but I did well in school because of my drive from incentives. I knew if I got good grades, I could get into a good school and get a good job and make good money. That desire to live a good life from a young age is what propelled my interest in school/academia.
So informative :*
Can you please do an in depth video on Embedded Systems using microcontrollers, since lots of technological innovation is currently taking place with it?
loved!
Thank you
Discipline beats motivation. i'm currently working on building that disciple that I very much need.
Thanks a lot
Stand and deliver !!!
Is my approach to music and art good considering that I always try to improvise a song and started sketching human faces and parts that are considered to be difficult? And as an engineering student, I always try to look beyond my field and try to gain knowledge from neuroscience, physics and maths concepts (not textbooks yet). What more shall I do to improve or is this exponential function/ algorithm already the way to go?
Just passing by to say that this video was excellent!
Thank you!
I come back to this video once in a while to get some motivation.
The ability to learn will lead to the ability to improve the ability to improve will eventuate to the ability of refinine and specialise the ability to refine and specialisie will lead to the ability to master a skill.
I like this video. It might be impossible to be the next Einstein but you could at least succeed in a difficult field with the right determination.
Simply WoW!!
10000 hrs rules doesn't apply for startup owners , they learn fast and have to grasp faster and apply
I think it's engagement in what your learning is a big deal in learning anything.
Great!
Can you do a video about Mike Tyson? His interview at 16 seems to be completely in line with the underlying message of this video.
You can learn anything, as long as you learn the fundamentals, basics first.
The reason why things get hard , not getting a complicated science concept?
It's because you have weak foundations of that subject, as Richard Feynmann said " that's a fragile understanding"
Basics are the pillar of understanding. I have observed many brilliant scientists and even Elon Musk undertand how importance these fundamentals are ( to him, the first principle thinking).
Basics are the bedrock of more complicated concepts. Like what Elon Musk said " Knowldge is like a semantic tree . Make sure you understand the trunk or the branches ( fundamentals) before diving into details ( more advance concepts).
Thermodynamics cannot survive without the concept of energy and Work and some other basic concepts.
Torque cannot survive without the concept of force, rotational motion, etc .
Remember, Basics are the most important Knowldge. Whenever you feel overwhelmed and not getting a certain concept, always ASK yourself this: What basic concept I should lesrn first that this advance topic cannot survive without it?
I hope my approach make sense and help you guys in anyways. 😊
thank you!!!!
@@Doinglifewithcol welcome🙂❤️
awesome video, talk about nearoplasticy
Let's get it!!!!
So basically,
Put in the work, put in the hours, and take whats ours
gracias
I watched stand and deliver right after this video and holy crap i love it haha
I think my biggest thing is that I just need go study and apply myself more. I dont think I've ever put 100% I to snuff class and I still pass them all but with usually B's and C's in the harder ones like calc. This next semester I'm going to be taking calc 2 and I've heard a bunch of horror stories about to so I'm going to give it my all and see what happens, same thing with chemistry
100% into any class*
nice vieda :). Can you make one on mechatroics?
Zach, a big fan of yours! I needed some advice, please help. I'm an Electrical Engineering major and am currently a sophomore. But since all the classes have gone online, I have lacked focus on important classes such as physics and calculus. Due to this, I keep on doubting myself about whether or not I'll be able to become an Electrical Engineer or not. EE is definitely my passion and I was always clear on the fact that I want to be an Electrical Engineer. How do I not lose hope? How do I not get discouraged due to some difficult concepts?
Study group?
Do you think its possible to become a top level specialist in severel scientific or engineering fields , or you should focus on just one ?
My question exactly...
You should search that up.
It was possible a while ago when fields were far less advanced. Nowadays, you can obviously know very well a field and a bit of other fields but forget mastering everything, there's just too much to do and learn .
Which software do you use to make these videos?
