His eyes are literally staring into my soul, telling me to learn.

I’m a self learner aged 70 - I feel wonderful having spent 1 hour per day studying maths. You are a super teacher Wizard thank you for your words of wisdom.

In my experience, "embrace the challenge" is probably the biggest thing that people have difficulty with, yet it's the one which usually leads to the most success. This is because it helps to change your mindset about what you find hard - and then it stops being hard, it starts becoming "enjoyably" hard, so you stick to it and eventually solve it. As Albert Einstein said "It's not that I'm so smart, it's that I just stay with the problem longer".

The math teacher we all wanted while growing up. This generation is blessed❤thank you so much sir.

I would like to add a 9th: Teaching. Putting yourself in a position where you get to teach someone the thing you're learning forces you to break down concepts into their most raw form. Doing this will, in turn, deepen your understanding of whatever it is you're learning. And as he said, the stronger your basics/base, the stronger the architecture can be that's built on top of it, ultimately furthering your genius.

When I was confused trying to solve a math problem one day, I realized that the cause of my confusion was that I wasn't clearly focused on what it was that I wanted to find. It really helps to stop and get clear in your mind exactly what is being asked. Define the question. I've used this technique ever since, and it works.

Guys something I can recommend is staying away from phones. You probably hear this everywhere but dont take it seriously like me but it really does make a difference. When I didnt have a phone I used to take information in really fast and have a time to think about things and solve them but I noticed after having a phone that I started using it as a scapegoat to run away from my problems and get addicted to it.

These are the steps I followed for the past painfully long 4 years, in order to study and learn German (especially German grammar) -- and it's finally paying off (reached B2). Had I not needed to work to stay alive, it would've taken me 1 or 2 years.

Because unlike other languages, German requires you to study it like someone who has to study physics and chemistry textbooks AND actually do the practices, and majors in a STEM field, just to be able to effectively communicate. I'm not great at maths or sciences, so I know how boring they can be, however, learning German made me interested in sciences and maths. (I'm a softwaree developer by trade, so this also applies here too.)

What seems impossible is often achievable through planned, hard work and endless boredom, and that's coming from someone who is passionate about foreign languages.

And I'm far from a genius, just ask my friends and family. People say I'm smart for knowing different languages, but that's unfair, because it shadows over all the pain and hard work and sacrifices I had to make to get there. Work hard, and smart while equipped with curiosity to embrace the grind.

5:17 That's true. It is hard to embrace the challenge when you have the pressure of grades. Our society values the grades more than learning, and when the pressure to get as close to a 4.0 as possible is very real to be competitive for jobs then learning and understanding can take a backseat. That's when you get students doing just enough to get a good grade on the test, and then they forget the material. The students, employers, and society suffers.

These days most learning is done outside of school, and school is just for the grade and recognition.

I recently started reading this book by Marcus Du Sautoy called
“Thinking better”

The Art of the shortcut in math and life.

Which is that. He proves that math/problem solving correlates into the rest of your life and how you move through it.
Excellent concept!

I was horrible at math which ultimately kept me from going to college. The anxiety made me believe it wasn’t for me. In my last year of high school I was failing pretty bad and was told by my principle I needed to just drop out and get a GED. It got to me cuz I knew deep down I was intelligent. I went to my math teacher and ask her if I she could help me and stayed everyday after school determined to get it. The day came when I got it and that feeling was priceless! I ended up Acing my math test and getting my average up to a 98 somehow.
Graduated and my principal was shocked to see my name when calling me up to accept my diploma.
I had a grin on my face and I bet he’ll never forget me lol.

Takes time and perseverance! It’s possible to eventually love mathematics.

[Motherclucker]

I can’t help but love every single one of this guy’s videos. They motivate me like nobody else.

[trucid]

One thing I noticed about successful people is they don't give up. They keep going until they've solved the problem or exhausted the problem's search space. It will help if you can cultivate the mindset that giving up is not an option.

The "pleasant challenge" mentality for when you are not understanding something is just awesome. Thank you for your inspirational videos my good sir

[Mojokiss]

Music Theory - and improvisation and etc is a perfect example. Very basic tools but using them together is powerful

"Embrace the struggle." Love that!

[donaldmickunas]

“Embrace the struggle”. I have had the tendency to put a lot of pressure on myself in the past. This increased the frustration and anxiety. Then I started approaching it with a playful attitude. I’m going the play around with this. I’m going to experiment with it. I’m going to have fun with it. That has made a huge difference for me.

The other thing is one you mentioned. Take breaks. When you start feeling frustrated and angry, take a break. Go do something different. Take your conscious mind off the problem. Return to it when you are relaxed and refreshed. Many times, I’ve discovered something at that time that was starring me in the face all that time. I couldn’t see it in my earlier mental and emotional state.

[lulumoon]

"Embrace the struggle, " is fantastic learning and life advice! 👍😎

[moritzneubert]

I am already on a similar path as you described. As a student at a private German high school, I will definitely stick to your tips. Thank You!

[TrailBlazer]

This is the second video of yours Ive seen and I really love what you have to say, how straight forward you are. The basics reminds me of a college math teacher. She told us she used to hate math but because she emigrated to the US and had to take some of the same classes over again in school it instilled the fundamentals, and once she had a real understanding she loved math. The rest is history.
