Hard Work Actually Works | Jocko Willink and Jordan B Peterson

What would happen if you worked as hard as you possibly can at one thing? If you don't know what you're doing, aim at something. Is it the right thing? No, but it's better than just shooting randomly.

For Jocko, he wanted to be a soldier; even as a small child. In this clip, Jocko explains to Jordan how he was able to make it to the top of the Navy SEALs.

"Discipline is a precursor to freedom" Love that!!

Peterson looks exponentially better each subsequent appearance and I couldn’t be happier

[ingaseggebruch]

When my little son was six years old, he saw a fencing-match and decided to learn it. He did. Then, in school, his favourite unit was forging.
Now he is 23 and a weapon-smith. A very happy one.

I love how happy Willink is about his time as a SEAL in his teens

[patrykkrzyzanski]

He is back 🙂I am so glad to see you in such shape sir.

Anicdote about the greek is really fascinating to me. The hebrew word for "sin" is חטא (H'ett) which holds the same meaning in its root. Literally translates to "missing the target".

Positive comment for the youtube algorithm! Thank you JP, you continually help me figure out golden tidbits and integrate them into my life.

These two are the truth tellers of this age. His biblical series is a masterpiece.

I am just about finished Dr Peterson's 2nd book, ive read thr 1st, I listen and watch you tube videos and lessons. Let me say I am a 55 year old grandfather; whom Dr Peterson has helped tremendously in re evaluating so many aspects of life. Its not just the young men and women, for that matter the the good Dr has helped but even and old man like me :)
Thank you Jordan!!
Please keep up the great work the honest and open conversation
And well wishes to you and your family

There is something in what Jordan said. Ever since I was kid, I always loved to create things, mostly games. I made platform games, some primitive video games, even sometimes made new rulese to field game etc. And I'm still stuck with it till now.

[exbladex]

Peterson was looking for some deeper connection but really warrior culture, sports, and as Jordan said before in a lecture, gadget/machine/weapon obsession, is something that thrills most men.

The rush is also in airsoft and paintball. I don't know why either but it's a very exciting thing to aim and shoot and hit what you aim at, and have something happen because of it. Without blood consequences :p

Another incredible interview. Thank You. We missed you Dr. Peterson!

[Lukasz.Skowron]

That conversation inspired me to think deeply about my childhood sparks

[skubz]

This was great and absolutely hilarious. Two of my favorite public people.

[Snibble]

Again I could like this video within the first sentence! in der beschränkung zeigt sich erst der meister.(one of my favorites lately) Only way to get there is with hard work and then you can look to expand on that first one. Which again is hard work and the hardest work might be to keep playing and knowing you do what you love and to keep your goal in mind and not to stray or get confused along the way.

[viliamikato]

Thank you for the free precious advice. Respect from the South Pacific..

[kohyarnaderi]

Peterson is right, focusing one one goal helps you reach it.

Sin derives from hamartia, ἁμαρτία, "missing the target".

One of JP's lectures that struck me most was the one about the human eye and aim, how we have the second best eye in the animal kingdom after the one of birds of pray, how we're the only ones capable of throwing something accurately, how we have such a large sclera (the white part) so other humans can tell where we are looking exactly, how aiming and targets could be all there is to living a good life, in a larger sense...
Truly fascinating, a man without something to aim at is a sad man.

We're dualistic, we need to be in the present and in the future; just like a step is only accomplished by losing balance; just like an arrow needs an archer solidly planted here but also a target far away there.
