Khan Academy is one of the best channel on youtube, very high pedagogic level. Imagine a school full of teachers like Sal, what a blessing it would be!

This is absolutely true. I hate it when I hear the people around me call themselves stupid. You are only as intelligent as you believe you are and, if you actually try, you can learn anything. The trick is finding a method of learning that works the best for you and realizing that the only thing that can stop you from learning is your decision to stop trying. Personally, I learn better by self-educating than any other way and I love to learn in this way.

Realize that the more you do anything, the easier it becomes. New connections can be forged in your brain at any age and once those connections are formed, their repeated use only strengthens those neural pathways. The ability to take in and retain new knowledge is one of those neural pathways.

I have never understood why people (and it seems extremely common, at least in my geographic area) just give up when they begin to struggle, then tell themselves they didn't do it because they weren't capable. If I have failed to do something (other than sports - I just don't care about sports) or failed to learn something, it drives me to search for a way to make it happen.

Don't get me wrong - there have been times in my life when I gave up and didn't think I would amount to anything. In those times, I settled for mediocrity - that is always the outcome of giving up.

I study anything and everything I can get my hands on. If I find something about which I'm ignorant, I won't be ignorant for long. I have the mindset that I can learn anything and that mindset makes the learning become easy. Besides, in a world with websites like Khan Academy, YouTube, and Google there is no excuse to stay ignorant for long. You just have to want it.

Its weird now I actually see his face when he talks, normally I see words on screens. I am very familiar to Sal's voice, but first time syncing his face and voice together xD

That was a good point about the negative effect of praising a kid for being "smart". As Professor Dweck pointed out, they are more likely to give up as when they encounter things that are difficult for them. Further, it will tend to make them either feel better than others or fear failing and not living up to the praise. It's much better to encourage them to find satisfaction in overcoming obstacles.

Thank you for your uplifting and fierce work on behalf of human potential and for providing the free platform for people to work on theirs.

This totally helps me out. I am trying to learn a multitude of skills and sometimes I get to the point where It just, "I've gotten too many questions wrong. This sucks; I'll try again later, maybe." Because everyone has always said I was a genius because, I seem to think out of the box and get things that other people fail to understand.. But that's not true at all. I just have a lot of ideas and views that challenges today's expectation. I have always seen the world as filled with potential. But, as of late, with all that is going on in today's societies my confidence in my views have become lackluster. I use to think since I fail there must be something the matter. Perhaps I am not cut out for the fields I wish to study, I think all the time; Halfheartedly, I know that is not the truth. But the idea rears it's ugly head most everyday. But I know I will live my dream one day. Every single invention I think up, be it a flop or a success, built. Every project I start, I will complete. Every wrong I aim to right, will be dealt justice. Every dream, brought to reality. This video has really inspired me to keep moving forward. So, I will keep growing my mind and I wish everyone the best of luck growing theirs.

I am enrolled at Ashford University and this is a video I had to watch. I was impressed with what Dr Sal said about the growth and fixed brain.

It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer *Albert Einstein*

It never hurt to try and believe. If you do not believe, you highly likely will not be able to do it. Set all of the fear aside, and then the best could be achieved by you.

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my YouTube channel 2 months ago about self development. Now I have 155 subs and almost 75 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place.

It is the best thing I have come across ever on you tube.
