Very true. I used to learn by just rereading my notes and rewriting summary sheets again and again prior to each test. Since watching your videos, now i figured out that flashcards is the most enjoyable method for me, as once i make a flashcard, i have tangible proof of my study. And when I am revising, it's again a quick way of proving i have learned it. It has reduced my stress significantly so thanks a lot Justin for all the advice. Really saved me from burnout!

So change the process so the learning can become enjoyable

This dude knows his stuff.. It's clear they all come from deep within and from a protracted experience than from a shallow one and a teleprompter.

you had everything right except that last part.. USA and many more countries have been said to have a outdated teaching system.. It was made to make factory workers.

Hi Dr Justin, appreciate your content, and agree with your philosophies and principles. As the knowledge-worker phase of society is going to shift due to AI and cultural shifts, where do you see the ultimate destination of all your efforts?

When I enter an exam room i know I am fucked so it doesn't affect me much 🗿

My passion is in art, and for me who comes from a family of chinese that does businesses and doctors lineage - its a disgrace. So I have been scoring on many exams and now taking Psychology, Geography and Sociology as a minor. I have been pushing away what I wanted because I didn't want to be the odd one in the family. It confuses me more because I have been studying and studying with the purpose of to only please my family to a point that I have no idea what to do once I am done with alevels. Apparently I don't hate studying - I just don't have passion on studying stuff that I never even wanted to study because of my own insecurities🚶🏻‍♀️ (and yes I am still stuck with my minor subjects and skipped a lot of classes)

My head always direct me to do having fun

Dude the overediting of these is monumentally distracting. My ADHD brain usually likes a fair bit of visual variety in the shots but this constant zoom-in-zoom-out editing style is way too much and it makes it a great deal harder to absorb your content because I can't look at the video at all (and I'd really prefer to read the subtitles while I listen). This style is forcing me to replay your shorts several times just to come away with less understanding than I would from one or two viewings of more statically shot ones. The length of a short is not enough to justify this much eye-grabby visual variety. Please trust your audience to be engaged for more than two and a half seconds at a time without needing a jolt. It's just disruptive and sabotages your otherwise fantastic communication.
