As a wise man once said "Talent can get you far, but hard work can get you anywhere."

Great advice: don't compare yourself with others, but rather with who you were some time ago. If you see others doing better than you, admire and learn from them. Then, strive to improve.

I read in his biography that when he was a teenager he studied so hard that he was sick for days. I don't think ordinary people can study that hard.

Came for Feynman and got tricked into a podcast. Clearly I’m not smart.

1. stop procrasitnating and actually study

"What I cannot create, I don't understand" - Mr. Feynman. Feynman is not just a physicist, he's an artist.

i think it’s less about active studying as it is thinking about it ALL the time. active studying matters but when you love something you don’t stop studying when you close a textbook. i’d bet people like feynman never stop thinking about how the world works

It's really something I needed to hear. I never worked hard in my life. To get my high school diploma, I never studied, but I got it. At university I dropped from Theoretial Physics as I didn't want to work and I knew I was about to fail as what I did in high shcool would not worked there. So I applied for my first programmer job and got it. 17 years later, I'm a software developer working for a big company. My coworkers all have phd's or master degree and I make a good amount of money. But I still have this dream to become an astrophysicist. So here I'm, going back to university to become what I wanted, ready to work hard to get it.

To make an image of what he says, kids learn their first language by listening, talking, making mistakes and practicing without worrying about looking silly. How they do NOT learn is by sitting down and cramming grammar rules and aiming at perfect spelling on the first try. That's how you ''study hard'' and ''study smart''.

I learned from one of my professors from my college that if you are losing interest in life or anything then you should just go deeper into it and look for the solutions and it will automatically brings interest in your life

"If you can even want something in the first place, you are probably qualified to achieve it."

Can't remember where I heard this, but one of the most profound sayings I've come across

[psgouros]

The 4 day work week is for people who want to devote their own time to their own interests.
I have a lot to do, but it’s not necessarily what I’m being paid for.

Probably the most motivational video I've watched in a long time. They are all my mentors in a way - the reason why i'm dedicated to learning SWE is because of Systrom and my motivation to go into AI is because of Andrej and Lex. The notion of "I can learn anything" is because of Feynman. Great video!!

[DYN]

the main things we should focus on are to protect our passion on something we are interested and keep improving by spending time on doing it with ACTION. Do not compare yourself with others, do not be little yourself, do not discouraged yourself. As long as you can keep doing it, you will unlock your maximum potential in your life.

His true superpower is passion. It's hard to be passionate like that about something.
