The 5 Pillars of Success I Live By

In this video, I talk about the 5 pillars of success that have changed my life for the better. While I still have a long way to go myself, I would hope that these concepts can help you to reprogram yourself for a happier and more productive life.

1) Habits
- Motivation is fickle
- Habits allow you to skip the need for motivation
- Habits help you do difficult tasks mindlessly
- Are how you create lasting change

2) Identity
- Changing who we are is not as hard as we think
- We act in line with who we believe ourselves to be
- We have to tell ourselves what type of person we are
- A growth mindset is the difference maker
- We program ourselves every time we open our mouths

3) Accountability
- What we say to our peers has a huge impact on what we do
- We must believe we are someone that sticks to our word
- Social pressure can have a positive impact on us

4) Feedback
- We can't improve if we don't know what to work on
- You get discouraged if you don't see improvement
- Tracking our performance and getting feedback allows us to see how far we've come
- We should celebrate our successes

5) Focus
- We chase too many rabbits
- If we narrow our focus to only the important things we can accomplish great things

All of these concepts can be applied to the #66DaysOfData Initiative. If you are learning data science or any other field, I would hope that these things can help you to maximize your performance and enjoyment!

Thanks for insights. Lastly my motivation to learn data science dropped. Content like that helps me to motivate myself.

Idk why I missed this video... I'm just trying to sort my activities and learning plan for this month and the 66daysofdata challenge but I didn't knew where to start, this was really helpful because my mind was all over the place haha

"Narrowing the scope of things I am trying to learn" is great advise...another great video !

I learned this the hard way after spending months jumping on to follow every tutorial related to data science I could find on youtube - statistics, data analysis, data visualization, deep learning...etc. It was very overwhelming and didn't do much for my confidence as a beginner.

I think it was one of Krish Naik's video called "How To Learn Data Science Smartly?" that saved me where he explains why we shouldn't try to learn each aspect of data science separately, but rather find some data science projects and learn different topics with context by reverse engineering.

I swear some of the things you said reminded of some of the books you mention:

1. the importance of habits and 2. identity -> Those two go hand in hand together and, one best way to describe oneself is by what we do on a consistant basis. Hence if you can chance your habits, you can chance your identity.
The growth mindset has been cited in many different book tough I have "7 habits of highly successful people".

Motivation clearly sucks as a base strategy, since it's volatile. Don't get me wrong, it's good to have sometimes, but view it rather as a very good friend who has MANY friends, always willing to help, giving a lot of it when it can ... but who can't really always be there on account of having so many people to help .... Motivation is VERY popular these days if you catch my meaning ;)

Another thing about identity and accounting, and something I've talked about before, is to give yourself proof of what you've accomplished so far and what you are doing right now ... and a bullet journal, for this and feedback (since ppl won't always be there to give it to you) ... this is perfect for this. Make sure to add the proper tracker to it.

And when you feel one of those tracker, that's what Ken Jee here said about about fist pumping and being proud of yourself ... yep, it's very to do that with a tracker and a bullet journal. I can't tell you how many "YES!!" I've shouted when marking one ;)

PS:
#66daysofdata
If you watch that video with the intent of applying the advice here to your #66daysofdata ... you might be doing more than 66 of them, and good days they might be just saying ;) (I assume this should count for your challenge in that case). :)

You have worked hard on handwriting. Another great video, you touched all the important aspects of being successful. Thanks for video.

[Julio_Zambrano]

Great advise Ken, thank you for sharing!

[hardikkamboj]

Wow...look at those handwritten checklists / notes...the clocks with different time zones...amazing..
Thanks ken for this video, what worked for me is spirituality (Yes I am an Indian), its just enjoying the present moment, and being in the present, that's it....You can't describe in words what sprirtuality does to you, but its just watching the things happening around you, and not being affected by them ( Karma Yoga as it is written in Bhagwat Geeta)

[rayojel]

4 disciplines and atomic habits are amazing books!

[brendansully]

I think I'm going to watch this when I wake up every day for a couple weeks

[AndrewMoMoney]

Intrigued by the thumbnail, but stayed for the thoughtful tips. Accountability explained simply, letting others down is a lot scarier than letting yourself down! Also the editing game is getting upped :)

[DataProfessor]

This is an awesome motivational video Ken! Thanks for sharing your 5 pillars of success. For me, learning to say ‘no’ can work wonders, to give back time that I could use to be productive and take me a step closer toward reaching life’s goals. As Jim Rohn puts it, “Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time.”

[jackychan]

Ken, meeting more friends are required, but after college I have met many false friends. Because of competition, and others

[sajanaherath]

Love you bro. Thanks a lot for these videos!

[RubenB]

Another great video, Ken! Thank you for the inspiration!

[leileili]

YouTube=strangers! Haha. Great video never would I expect jump roping in a data science video!

[ozanguven]

this speech is explanatory, meaningful, and consistent. good video!

[TinaHuang]

There are so many gems in this video! Please make more videos like these ❤️

[bkm]

The timing couldn't have been any better on this video. Really truly thank you.

[alaknandaagarwal]

Hi Ken, nice video. I really liked the last tip, I've been concious that focusing on one thing could bring in way more results than juggling too may at once. However, I have this irrational fear that I'll lose out on time I could be using to do all of those other things, which is why everything is always top of the priority list.
