Thomas Frank Study Tips, 4 Mindset Changes That Massively Improved My Life

4 Mindset Changes That Massively Improved My Life

- Hey, what's going on, guys?

So this week's video is going to be a little bit different

than most the other videos that I've done on this channel,

because for the most part, the videos that I do

have a pretty set-in-stone topic.

I try to keep a pretty narrow focus

on whatever I'm talking about.

But for the last four months,

I've been keeping a note in Evernote

just called five self-improvement tips.

And I put that number there arbitrarily.

But I came up with something

that I thought was interesting to me.

There was just something that I felt

was, like, a mindset change I made a long time ago,

and it's really improved my life.

And it gave me an idea for a video

where I would just sort of list out

some of the subtle or maybe not-so-subtle mindset changes

that I've made over the last decade or so

since I graduated high school

that have really improved things for me on a daily basis.

And I was gonna wait until I had a longer list

to do a video on these sort of mindset hacks,

but I think the four that I have now,

which I just sort of added over time

as I thought about them, make up a pretty good list.

So today we're gonna go over four mindset hacks

or mindset changes that I've made slowly

over the past 10 or so years

that have really improved my life.

And if you can adopt even just one of these

into your own life, I think you're gonna notice

a marked improvement as well, so let's get into it.

Mindset hack number one is to become okay

with being the worst person in the room,

and by that I mean, like, the worst person

at whatever skill you're trying out.

This fear of being labeled as the worst person in the room

or of looking bad in comparison to everyone else

keeps people from pursuing the things they want to do,

or it keeps them from increasing the difficulty

or moving to the next level

in something they're already pursuing.

And if you can become okay with being

bad at something or comparatively bad,

or if you become okay with being worse

than everyone else in your peer group,

then you start to compete in a higher league.

And when you are the worst person in the room,

that means that there's nowhere for you to go but up.

And everyone else around you

is somebody who you can learn from.

So the example of putting this mindset into action

that immediately comes to mind for me

is from last summer when I started

doing downhill mountain biking,

Now downhill mountain biking,

especially the lift access version

where you literally put your bike

and yourself on a ski lift,

and you go up to the top of a mountain

and then ride down is a pretty difficult

and risky discipline in mountain biking.

In fact, my friend Martin actually broke his finger

doing it back in the fall.

I started this in the summer,

and I started off being pretty bad.

I noticed that all these people

kept passing me up on the trails.

And I kind of felt self-conscious

about my abilities at first.

Then I realized that if I just challenged myself

to follow these people who were better than me,

I actually would get better more quickly.

And I found that this actually did happen.

I was more afraid to do things like go off jumps

or take trails at higher speed when I was alone,

but when I was following somebody,

there was, like, this competitive instinct that kicked in.

I found myself pushing myself a little bit further

and really challenging myself to keep pace

with this other person who was better than me.

And this mindset actually paid off

on the very first day that I went mountain biking,

'cause I went with my cousin

to a bike park in Boulder, Colorado,

and there was a jump that I just could not get myself to do.

Every single time I would go up to the jump,

I would hit the brakes; I would stop.

Then I'd have to take my bike, lift it up,

and walk down past the jump.

I was just too scared to do it.

And my cousin, who was a little bit better

at mountain biking than I was,

not a ton, but a little bit,

said, "all right, this time we're gonna go.

"You're gonna follow me.

"I'm going to hit this jump,

"and you are going to hit it with me."

And watching him do it,

and knowing there was this expectation

that I was going to have to rise to the challenge

because he was doing it as well forced me to do it.

And I actually hit that jump,

and afterwards it became easy.

So again, if you can become comfortable

with being the worst person in the room,

even if it's a self-perception kind of thing,

then you are going to allow yourself

to compete in a higher league.

You're gonna expose yourself to people

who are more skilled

and who can bring you up to speed more quickly.

And one last thing that I do want to note

when it comes to this mindset

is that for the most part

people are kind of self-absorbed.

So say if you go to the gym and you are out of shape,

or you are lifting

the least amount of weight out of the gym,

people aren't going to make fun of you,

because they're there to do their own thing.

They aren't there to judge you.

So just keep that in mind when you start a new hobby

or you start trying to improve yourself in any way.

If you're around other people who are doing the same thing,

they're probably focused on their own goals

and their own efforts.

All right, mindset hack number two

is to treat real-life goals kind of like video game levels.

And the reason that I have this on the list

is that when we play video games,

at least when I play video games,

I am 100% okay with dying or failing,

because I know that in just a few seconds after dying,

I am going to restart the level.

I'm going to try again.

And the process of dying over and over and over again

in some cases is part of the experience.

It's part of the fun.

One of my absolute favorite video games

in the world is called Celeste, which is,

in my opinion, one of the best platformers ever made.

And if you go look at my death stats

for every level in the game, they are ridiculous.

In fact, I think in one of the levels

I have over 1,000 deaths.

But because I've gone through that level

and died 1,000 times,

I can now basically speed-run it,

and the process of doing so looks really cool,

and it's really fun to do.

And I know that all those deaths

are part of the learning process.

Every single time I made a mistake,

I got a little bit better,

I got a little bit more knowledgeable

about what to do in that situation.

I made an adjustment.

Now in real life, a lot of times

we feel like we have to get things right the first time,

whether it be out of embarrassment,

or whether it be out of the fear of wasting too much time.

But that's not how things are.

It's just like a video game.

If we can treat things as a learning process,

even if they're failures,

then we become more open

to going through that learning process,

and we become more able to gain those skills.

The fear of failure is something

that really holds people back.

So if you can start viewing yourself

as a video game character,

at least insofar as you're allowed to fail certain things,

maybe not allowed to fall into pits of spikes,

but if you can fail certain things,

then you're going to sort of move past

that mental roadblock.

Mindset hack number three is to become okay

with confronting harsh realities or bad news.

And this is a mindset hack that I got from the book

Good to Great by Jim Collins.

This is a fantastic business book.

I think anybody who is in the professional world

or an entrepreneur should read this book.

And there is a quote from an executive

of the company Pitney Bowes, his name is Fred Purdue,

that really stuck with me after I read this book.

In fact, I think this might be the concept

that stuck with me more than any other from this book.

And I want to read the quote to you here.

The quote goes, "When you turn over rocks

"and look at all the squiggly things underneath,

"you can either put the rock down

"or you can say, "my job is to turn over rocks

""and look at the squiggly things,"

"even if what you see can scare the hell out of you."

The sad thing is, a lot of people

would rather avoid looking at bad news,

avoid looking at harsh realities than confront them.

And this causes a lot of problems.

Some people know they probably didn't do well on the test,

so they avoid looking at the test results

until they realize they've been kicked out of school.

Or some people know their bank account balance

is probably a little bit lower than they'd like it to be,

so they just don't look at it until there's an overdraft

or until there's a bill that isn't paid.

In our quest to avoid pain, we often avoid looking

at things that cause us mental pain,

just because they are, like, the bearer of bad news,

the harbinger of bad news to come.

But the people who are truly successful

are the ones who can confront these harsh realities,

because when you do, when you don't shy away from them

or pretend they don't exist, then you can,

after you get over the emotional pain,

the shock of seeing them,

formulate a plan for dealing with them.

So become okay with confronting these harsh realities.

Yes, it's tough.

Yes, you kind of never really get totally used to it,

'cause you always have that little part of your brain

that just sort of wants to go do something else,

but you have to become able to push through

that mental resistance.

Finally, I want to talk about the one mindset hack

that I think has improved my life more than any other.

And it's simply building

a sort of background loop in my head

that constantly asks where am I wrong

or how am I wrong?

I'm always looking for my own blind spots.

This mindset hack was kind of forced upon me

when I was a teenager

when a girlfriend of mine actually broke up with me,

and she told me the reason that she left me

was that I always had to be right.

Every time we'd get into an argument

or even just a conversation,

I always had to be the person with the last word.

I didn't really realize this at the time,

but when that happened, the pain of being dumped

was so great that I was forced to look at my actions,

to look at the way that I thought.

And I realized that, yes, I did have

this implicit assumption that I was right in all things,

even if I would have never admitted it even to myself.

And I think a lot of people are like this,

especially people who are generally successful

at a lot of the things they do.

There's this sort of hubris or pride

that develops in the back of our minds

and sort of squashes any humility we have.

And it causes us to miss a lot of our blind spots

or to assume things that aren't true.

So even though that experience was very painful,

I count it as a blessing,

because it sort of forced me to develop this assumption

that I'm probably wrong in a lot of areas.

Even when I think that I'm right about something,

there might be a blind spot.

There might be something that I'm missing.

So I ask myself, what could I possibly be missing?

And a lot of times I try to put myself in the shoes of the person that I'm talking to

and ask, what is their perspective on this?

What could they see that I might not be seeing?

Now I don't think you have to go through

a super painful experience to develop this ability.

And I would say that a lot of its refinement

came from reading books

like Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality

or Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman

or even some of the individual blog posts

over on LessWrong.com,

which was one of the original resources

where I started learning about human rationality,

and learning to notice my own confusion

and notice my blind spots.

Regardless of how you go about developing this ability,

once you do get better at using it

and making it more habitual,

you're gonna become a much more likable person,

because people will see you as not arrogant,

as open to noticing your own flaws and your own blind spots.

And aside from that, it's also gonna make you

a better problem solver.

As Barbara Oakley talks about

in her book A Mind for Numbers,

there's this concept called einstellung,

where the work that you've done

to learn something earlier

can sort of block the ability for you

to consider new information,

because you have these very well-worn neural patterns

that are pretty difficult to break out of.

But if you can build this metacognitive skill

of constantly challenging your beliefs

and looking for your blind spots,

you're gonna be far less susceptible to this einstellung.

So going forward, start tying

to consciously challenge your beliefs.

Start asking yourself, how could I be wrong?

And in doing so you're gonna become

a much better problem solver.

Of course, if you want to boost

those problem-solving skills even further,

then the best way to do it

is to practice problem solving on a daily basis.

And a great place to do this is at Brilliant.org.

Brilliant is an excellent learning platform

for anyone wanting to improve their skills

in math, science, and computer science.

And they take a very active approach

to building all of their courses,

meaning that whether you want

to take a course on calculus or on math

for quantitative training in finance

or on computer memory, computer algorithms,

or gravitational physics, you're gonna find yourself

immediately thrown into challenging problems

that stretch your problem-solving capabilities

and stretch that lateral-thinking ability

that we talked about in earlier videos.

Additionally, you're not gonna find yourself

bored by tons of introductory lecture material.

You're getting right into the problems right away,

so your interest in the subject

is going to remain high the entire time,

and you're gonna learn much more efficiently as well.

Now in addition to their library of in-depth courses,

they've also released a new feature called Daily Problems,

where every single day they're releasing new problems

that can whet your appetite

and get you interested in new subjects

such as how prehistoric humans tracked time

or how you can cut a Mobius strip in half.

These problems take about five minutes every single day,

so you can build them into a habit.

And not only do they improve

your problem-solving abilities even further,

they can get you interested in new topics

that you hadn't considered before.

So if you want to try out that Daily Problems feature,

or you want to dig into one of their more in-depth courses

- Hey, what's going on, guys? - Ei, o que está acontecendo, pessoal? - Эй, что происходит, ребята? - Ne oluyor çocuklar?

So this week's video is going to be a little bit different Então o vídeo dessa semana vai ser um pouco diferente Так что видео на этой неделе будет немного другим

than most the other videos that I've done on this channel, do que a maioria dos outros vídeos que fiz neste canal,

because for the most part, the videos that I do porque na maior parte, os vídeos que faço потому что по большей части видео, которые я делаю

have a pretty set-in-stone topic. habe ein ziemlich in Stein gemeißeltes Thema. tem um tema bem definido. иметь довольно избитую тему. 有一个非常固定的主题。

I try to keep a pretty narrow focus Eu tento manter um foco bem estreito Я стараюсь держать довольно узкий фокус

on whatever I'm talking about. no que eu estou falando. о чем бы я ни говорил.

But for the last four months, Mas nos últimos quatro meses,

I've been keeping a note in Evernote Tenho mantido uma nota no Evernote Я вел заметку в Evernote 我一直在 Evernote 中记笔记

just called five self-improvement tips. acabei de chamar cinco dicas de autoaperfeiçoamento. только что назвал пять советов по самосовершенствованию.

And I put that number there arbitrarily. И я поставил это число там произвольно. 我随意把这个数字放在那里。

But I came up with something Но я придумал кое-что 但我想出了一些东西

that I thought was interesting to me. que achei interessante para mim. что мне показалось интересным.

There was just something that I felt Havia apenas algo que eu senti Было что-то, что я чувствовал

was, like, a mindset change I made a long time ago, foi uma mudança de mentalidade que fiz há muito tempo, было изменение мышления, которое я сделал давным-давно,

and it's really improved my life. e realmente melhorou minha vida. и это действительно улучшило мою жизнь.

And it gave me an idea for a video И это дало мне идею для видео

where I would just sort of list out onde eu meio que listaria где я бы просто перечислил

some of the subtle or maybe not-so-subtle mindset changes algumas das mudanças de mentalidade sutis ou talvez não tão sutis некоторые тонкие или, может быть, не очень тонкие изменения мышления 一些微妙或可能不那么微妙的心态变化

that I've made over the last decade or so que fiz na última década ou mais что я сделал за последнее десятилетие или около того

since I graduated high school так как я закончил среднюю школу

that have really improved things for me on a daily basis. that have really improved things for me on a daily basis. que realmente melhoraram as coisas para mim diariamente. которые действительно улучшали мои вещи на ежедневной основе.

And I was gonna wait until I had a longer list And I was gonna wait until I had a longer list E eu ia esperar até ter uma lista mais longa И я собирался подождать, пока у меня не будет более длинного списка

to do a video on these sort of mindset hacks, to do a video on these sort of mindset hacks, para fazer um vídeo sobre esse tipo de hacks de mentalidade, сделать видео о таких лайфхаках,

but I think the four that I have now, but I think the four that I have now, но я думаю, что те четыре, которые у меня есть сейчас,

which I just sort of added over time which I just sort of added over time que eu meio que adicionei com o tempo который я просто добавил со временем

as I thought about them, make up a pretty good list. as I thought about them, make up a pretty good list. como eu pensei sobre eles, faça uma lista muito boa. как я думал о них, составить довольно хороший список.

So today we're gonna go over four mindset hacks So today we're gonna go over four mindset hacks Então, hoje vamos analisar quatro hacks de mentalidade Итак, сегодня мы пройдемся по четырем лайфхакам.

or mindset changes that I've made slowly or mindset changes that I've made slowly ou mudanças de mentalidade que fiz lentamente или изменения мышления, которые я сделал медленно

over the past 10 or so years over the past 10 or so years за последние 10 или около того лет

that have really improved my life. that have really improved my life. которые действительно улучшили мою жизнь.

And if you can adopt even just one of these E se você puder adotar pelo menos um desses И если вы можете принять хотя бы один из этих

into your own life, I think you're gonna notice em sua própria vida, acho que você vai notar в свою жизнь, я думаю, ты заметишь

a marked improvement as well, so let's get into it. uma melhoria acentuada também, então vamos entrar nisso. заметное улучшение, так что давайте углубимся в это.

Mindset hack number one is to become okay Mindset hack número um é ficar bem Хитрость мышления номер один — стать в порядке

with being the worst person in the room, sendo a pior pessoa na sala, быть худшим человеком в комнате,

and by that I mean, like, the worst person e com isso eu quero dizer, a pior pessoa и под этим я подразумеваю худшего человека

at whatever skill you're trying out. em qualquer habilidade que você esteja tentando. в любом навыке вы пытаетесь.

This fear of being labeled as the worst person in the room Esse medo de ser rotulado como a pior pessoa da sala Этот страх быть названным худшим человеком в комнате

or of looking bad in comparison to everyone else ou parecer mal em comparação com todos os outros или выглядеть плохо по сравнению со всеми остальными

keeps people from pursuing the things they want to do, 人々がやりたいことを追求するのを妨げ、 impede as pessoas de seguirem o que desejam fazer, мешает людям заниматься тем, чем они хотят заниматься,

or it keeps them from increasing the difficulty またはそれは彼らが難易度を上げるのを防ぎます ou os impede de aumentar a dificuldade или это удерживает их от увеличения сложности

or moving to the next level または次のレベルに移動 или переход на следующий уровень

in something they're already pursuing. 彼らがすでに追求しているもので。 em algo que eles já estão buscando. в чем-то, что они уже преследуют.

And if you can become okay with being E se você pode ficar bem em ser

bad at something or comparatively bad, ruim em algo ou comparativamente ruim, плохой в чем-то или сравнительно плохой,

or if you become okay with being worse ou se você ficar bem por ser pior или если вы станете в порядке с тем, чтобы быть хуже

than everyone else in your peer group, do que todos os outros membros do seu grupo, чем все остальные в вашей группе сверстников,

then you start to compete in a higher league. então você começa a competir em uma liga superior. затем вы начинаете соревноваться в высшей лиге.

And when you are the worst person in the room, E quando você é a pior pessoa na sala,

that means that there's nowhere for you to go but up. isso significa que não há outro lugar para você ir além. это означает, что вам некуда идти, кроме как вверх.

And everyone else around you И все вокруг тебя

is somebody who you can learn from. кто-то, у кого вы можете учиться.

So the example of putting this mindset into action Então, o exemplo de colocar essa mentalidade em ação Итак, пример воплощения этого мышления в жизнь

that immediately comes to mind for me que imediatamente me vem à mente что мне сразу приходит в голову

is from last summer when I started

doing downhill mountain biking, заниматься скоростным спуском на горном велосипеде,

Now downhill mountain biking, Agora, mountain bike em declive,

especially the lift access version especialmente a versão de acesso por elevador особенно версия с доступом к лифту

where you literally put your bike onde você literalmente coloca sua bicicleta

and yourself on a ski lift, e você mesmo em um teleférico, и себя на подъемнике,

and you go up to the top of a mountain e você vai até o topo de uma montanha и ты поднимаешься на вершину горы

and then ride down is a pretty difficult e depois descer é bem difícil а потом спускаться довольно сложно

and risky discipline in mountain biking. e disciplina arriscada no mountain bike. и рискованная дисциплина в горном велосипеде.

In fact, my friend Martin actually broke his finger На самом деле, мой друг Мартин сломал палец.

doing it back in the fall. fazendo isso de volta no outono. делал это еще осенью.

I started this in the summer, Comecei isso no verão,

and I started off being pretty bad. e eu comecei a ser muito ruim. и я начал быть довольно плохим.

I noticed that all these people Notei que todas essas pessoas Я заметил, что все эти люди

kept passing me up on the trails. continuou me passando nas trilhas. продолжал проходить мимо меня на тропах.

And I kind of felt self-conscious E eu meio que me senti constrangida И я как бы чувствовал себя застенчивым

about my abilities at first. о моих способностях в первую очередь.

Then I realized that if I just challenged myself Тогда я понял, что если бы я просто бросил себе вызов

to follow these people who were better than me, seguir essas pessoas que eram melhores que eu, следовать за этими людьми, которые были лучше меня,

I actually would get better more quickly. Na verdade, eu melhoraria mais rapidamente. На самом деле я бы поправился быстрее.

And I found that this actually did happen. E descobri que isso realmente aconteceu. И я обнаружил, что это действительно произошло.

I was more afraid to do things like go off jumps Eu estava com mais medo de fazer coisas como saltar Я больше боялся делать такие вещи, как прыжки

or take trails at higher speed when I was alone, ou fazer trilhas em alta velocidade quando eu estava sozinho, или идти по тропе на большей скорости, когда я был один,

but when I was following somebody, mas quando eu estava seguindo alguém, но когда я следовал за кем-то,

there was, like, this competitive instinct that kicked in. houve esse instinto competitivo que entrou em ação. как будто сработал инстинкт соперничества.

I found myself pushing myself a little bit further Eu me vi empurrando um pouco mais Я обнаружил, что толкаю себя немного дальше

and really challenging myself to keep pace e realmente me desafiando a manter o ritmo и действительно бросаю себе вызов, чтобы идти в ногу

with this other person who was better than me. com essa outra pessoa que era melhor que eu. с этим другим человеком, который был лучше меня.

And this mindset actually paid off E essa mentalidade realmente valeu a pena И это мышление действительно окупилось Ve bu zihniyet aslında işe yaradı

on the very first day that I went mountain biking, no primeiro dia em que fui andar de bicicleta de montanha, в самый первый день, когда я катался на горном велосипеде,

'cause I went with my cousin porque eu fui com meu primo

to a bike park in Boulder, Colorado,

and there was a jump that I just could not get myself to do. e houve um salto que eu simplesmente não consegui fazer. и был прыжок, который я просто не мог заставить себя сделать.

Every single time I would go up to the jump, Toda vez que eu subia no salto, Каждый раз, когда я поднимался на прыжок,

I would hit the brakes; I would stop. Eu pisaria no freio; Eu pararia. я нажимал на тормоза; Я бы остановился.

Then I'd have to take my bike, lift it up, Então eu teria que pegar minha bicicleta, levantá-la, Тогда мне придется взять свой велосипед, поднять его,

and walk down past the jump. и спуститесь мимо прыжка.

I was just too scared to do it. Eu estava com muito medo de fazê-lo. Я просто был слишком напуган, чтобы сделать это.

And my cousin, who was a little bit better E meu primo, que era um pouco melhor И мой двоюродный брат, который был немного лучше

at mountain biking than I was, em mountain bike do que eu era,

not a ton, but a little bit, não uma tonelada, mas um pouco, не тонна, а чуть-чуть,

said, "all right, this time we're gonna go. disse: "tudo bem, desta vez vamos. сказал: «Хорошо, на этот раз мы пойдем.

"You're gonna follow me. "Ты пойдешь за мной.

"I'm going to hit this jump, "Eu vou acertar esse salto, «Я собираюсь совершить этот прыжок,

"and you are going to hit it with me." "e você vai acertar comigo."

And watching him do it, E vendo ele fazer isso, И наблюдая, как он это делает,

and knowing there was this expectation e sabendo que havia essa expectativa и зная, что было это ожидание

that I was going to have to rise to the challenge que eu teria que enfrentar o desafio что мне придется принять вызов

because he was doing it as well forced me to do it. porque ele estava fazendo isso também me forçou a fazê-lo. потому что он делал это также заставил меня сделать это.

And I actually hit that jump, E eu realmente bati naquele salto, И я действительно совершил этот прыжок,

and afterwards it became easy. e depois ficou fácil. а потом стало легко.

So again, if you can become comfortable Então, novamente, se você pode se sentir confortável

with being the worst person in the room,

even if it's a self-perception kind of thing, mesmo que seja um tipo de autopercepção, даже если это что-то вроде самовосприятия,

then you are going to allow yourself então você vai se permitir тогда ты позволишь себе

to compete in a higher league. para competir em uma liga superior. выступать в высшей лиге.

You're gonna expose yourself to people Ты собираешься разоблачить себя перед людьми

who are more skilled quem é mais habilidoso кто более умелый

and who can bring you up to speed more quickly. e quem pode levá-lo a acelerar mais rapidamente. и кто может ввести вас в курс дела быстрее.

And one last thing that I do want to note И последнее, что я хочу отметить

when it comes to this mindset quando se trata dessa mentalidade когда дело доходит до этого мышления

is that for the most part é que na maior parte это по большей части

people are kind of self-absorbed. as pessoas são meio auto-absorvidas. люди какие-то самоуверенные.

So say if you go to the gym and you are out of shape, Digamos que, se você for à academia e estiver fora de forma, Так что скажите, если вы идете в спортзал и вы не в форме,

or you are lifting ou você está levantando или ты поднимаешь

the least amount of weight out of the gym, a menor quantidade de peso fora da academia, наименьшее количество веса вне тренажерного зала,

people aren't going to make fun of you, as pessoas não vão tirar sarro de você, люди не собираются смеяться над вами,

because they're there to do their own thing. porque eles estão lá para fazer suas próprias coisas. потому что они там, чтобы делать свое дело.

They aren't there to judge you. Eles não estão lá para julgá-lo. Они не здесь, чтобы судить вас.

So just keep that in mind when you start a new hobby Portanto, lembre-se disso quando iniciar um novo hobby Так что просто имейте это в виду, когда вы начинаете новое хобби

or you start trying to improve yourself in any way. ou você começa a tentar melhorar a si mesmo de qualquer maneira. или вы начинаете пытаться улучшить себя каким-либо образом.

If you're around other people who are doing the same thing, Se você estiver com outras pessoas que estão fazendo a mesma coisa, Если вы находитесь рядом с другими людьми, которые делают то же самое,

they're probably focused on their own goals eles provavelmente estão focados em seus próprios objetivos они, вероятно, сосредоточены на своих собственных целях

and their own efforts. e seus próprios esforços. и собственные усилия.

All right, mindset hack number two Tudo bem, mentalidade hack número dois Хорошо, лайфхак номер два

is to treat real-life goals kind of like video game levels. é tratar objetivos da vida real, como níveis de videogame. заключается в том, чтобы относиться к реальным целям как к уровням видеоигр.

And the reason that I have this on the list

is that when we play video games,

at least when I play video games, по крайней мере, когда я играю в видеоигры,

I am 100% okay with dying or failing, Я на 100% согласен умереть или потерпеть неудачу,

because I know that in just a few seconds after dying,

I am going to restart the level.

I'm going to try again.

And the process of dying over and over and over again И процесс умирания снова и снова и снова

in some cases is part of the experience. в некоторых случаях является частью опыта.

It's part of the fun.

One of my absolute favorite video games Одна из моих самых любимых видеоигр

in the world is called Celeste, which is,

in my opinion, one of the best platformers ever made.

And if you go look at my death stats И если вы посмотрите на мою статистику смерти

for every level in the game, they are ridiculous. для каждого уровня в игре они смешны.

In fact, I think in one of the levels Na verdade, acho que em um dos níveis На самом деле, я думаю, на одном из уровней

I have over 1,000 deaths. Eu tenho mais de 1.000 mortes. У меня более 1000 смертей.

But because I've gone through that level Но поскольку я прошел этот уровень

and died 1,000 times,

I can now basically speed-run it, 基本的にスピードランできるようになりましたが、 Теперь я могу в основном ускорить его,

and the process of doing so looks really cool,

and it's really fun to do. и это действительно весело делать.

And I know that all those deaths

are part of the learning process.

Every single time I made a mistake, Каждый раз, когда я ошибался,

I got a little bit better, Мне стало немного лучше,

I got a little bit more knowledgeable Я стал немного более осведомленным

about what to do in that situation. о том, что делать в такой ситуации.

I made an adjustment. Я сделал корректировку. Bir ayarlama yaptım.

Now in real life, a lot of times

we feel like we have to get things right the first time, sentimos que precisamos acertar as coisas da primeira vez, мы чувствуем, что должны сделать все правильно с первого раза,

whether it be out of embarrassment, seja por vergonha, то ли от смущения, то ли

or whether it be out of the fear of wasting too much time. ou seja por medo de perder muito tempo. или из-за боязни потерять слишком много времени.

But that's not how things are. Mas não é assim que as coisas são. Но это не так.

It's just like a video game.

If we can treat things as a learning process, Se pudermos tratar as coisas como um processo de aprendizado, Если мы сможем рассматривать вещи как процесс обучения,

even if they're failures, mesmo que sejam falhas, даже если они неудачники,

then we become more open então nos tornamos mais abertos тогда мы становимся более открытыми

to going through that learning process, para passar por esse processo de aprendizagem, к прохождению этого процесса обучения,

and we become more able to gain those skills. и мы становимся более способными приобретать эти навыки.

The fear of failure is something O medo do fracasso é algo Страх неудачи — это что-то

that really holds people back. que realmente retém as pessoas. что действительно сдерживает людей.

So if you can start viewing yourself Então, se você pode começar a se ver

as a video game character, como personagem de videogame,

at least insofar as you're allowed to fail certain things, pelo menos na medida em que você pode falhar em certas coisas, по крайней мере, в той мере, в какой вам позволено ошибаться в определенных вещах,

maybe not allowed to fall into pits of spikes, talvez não seja permitido cair em poços de espinhos, может не дать упасть в ямы шипов,

but if you can fail certain things, mas se você pode falhar em certas coisas, но если вы можете потерпеть неудачу в определенных вещах,

then you're going to sort of move past então você vai meio que passar тогда вы собираетесь пройти мимо

that mental roadblock. esse obstáculo mental. этот ментальный блокпост.

Mindset hack number three is to become okay Mindset hack número três é ficar bem Третий лайфхак для мышления — стать в порядке

with confronting harsh realities or bad news. em enfrentar realidades duras ou más notícias. со столкновением с суровой реальностью или плохими новостями.

And this is a mindset hack that I got from the book E esse é um truque que recebi do livro

Good to Great by Jim Collins. Bom a ótimo por Jim Collins.

This is a fantastic business book.

I think anybody who is in the professional world Eu acho que qualquer um que esteja no mundo profissional

or an entrepreneur should read this book. ou um empreendedor deve ler este livro.

And there is a quote from an executive E há uma citação de um executivo И есть цитата из руководителя

of the company Pitney Bowes, his name is Fred Purdue,

that really stuck with me after I read this book. que realmente ficou comigo depois que li este livro. что действительно запало мне в душу после прочтения этой книги.

In fact, I think this might be the concept Na verdade, acho que esse pode ser o conceito На самом деле, я думаю, что это может быть концепция

that stuck with me more than any other from this book. que ficou comigo mais do que qualquer outro deste livro. которая запомнилась мне больше, чем любая другая из этой книги.

And I want to read the quote to you here. E eu quero ler a citação para você aqui. И я хочу прочитать цитату для вас здесь.

The quote goes, "When you turn over rocks A citação diz: "Quando você vira pedras Цитата гласит: «Когда вы переворачиваете камни

"and look at all the squiggly things underneath, "e veja todas as coisas rabiscadas por baixo, "и посмотри на все волнистые вещи внизу,

"you can either put the rock down "você pode colocar a pedra no chão «Вы можете либо положить камень

"or you can say, "my job is to turn over rocks "ou você pode dizer", meu trabalho é virar pedras "или вы можете сказать, "моя работа состоит в том, чтобы переворачивать камни

""and look at the squiggly things," "" e veja as coisas rabiscadas ",

"even if what you see can scare the hell out of you." "당신이 보는 것이 당신을 겁나게 할 수 있더라도." "mesmo que o que você vê possa assustar você." «Даже если то, что ты видишь, может напугать тебя до чертиков».

The sad thing is, a lot of people O triste é que muitas pessoas Печально то, что многие люди

would rather avoid looking at bad news, prefere evitar olhar más notícias, предпочел бы не смотреть на плохие новости,

avoid looking at harsh realities than confront them. evite olhar para realidades severas do que confrontá-las. избегайте смотреть на суровые реалии, чем противостоять им.

And this causes a lot of problems. E isso causa muitos problemas. И это вызывает много проблем.

Some people know they probably didn't do well on the test, Algumas pessoas sabem que provavelmente não foram bem no teste, Некоторые люди знают, что они, вероятно, плохо справились с тестом,

so they avoid looking at the test results para evitar olhar para os resultados do teste поэтому они избегают смотреть на результаты теста

until they realize they've been kicked out of school. até eles perceberem que foram expulsos da escola. пока не поймут, что их выгнали из школы. okuldan atıldıklarını anlayana kadar.

Or some people know their bank account balance Ou algumas pessoas sabem o saldo da sua conta bancária Или некоторые люди знают баланс своего банковского счета

is probably a little bit lower than they'd like it to be, provavelmente é um pouco menor do que eles gostariam que fosse, вероятно, немного ниже, чем они хотели бы,

so they just don't look at it until there's an overdraft então eles não olham até que haja um cheque especial поэтому они просто не смотрят на это, пока не будет овердрафта

or until there's a bill that isn't paid. ou até que haja uma fatura que não seja paga. или пока не будет неоплаченного счета.

In our quest to avoid pain, we often avoid looking Em nossa busca para evitar a dor, muitas vezes evitamos olhar В нашем стремлении избежать боли мы часто избегаем смотреть

at things that cause us mental pain, em coisas que nos causam dor mental, на вещи, которые причиняют нам душевную боль,

just because they are, like, the bearer of bad news, só porque eles são portadores de más notícias, только потому, что они, типа, несут плохие новости,

the harbinger of bad news to come. o prenúncio de más notícias por vir. предвестник плохих новостей.

But the people who are truly successful Mas as pessoas que são verdadeiramente bem-sucedidas

are the ones who can confront these harsh realities, são os que conseguem enfrentar essas duras realidades,

because when you do, when you don't shy away from them porque quando você faz, quando você não se coíbe deles потому что когда ты это делаешь, когда ты не уклоняешься от них

or pretend they don't exist, then you can, ou fingir que eles não existem, então você pode, или сделать вид, что их не существует, тогда можно,

after you get over the emotional pain, depois de superar a dor emocional, после того, как вы преодолеете эмоциональную боль,

the shock of seeing them, o choque de vê-los, шок от их увиденного

formulate a plan for dealing with them. formular um plano para lidar com eles. составить план борьбы с ними.

So become okay with confronting these harsh realities. Então fique bem em enfrentar essas duras realidades.

Yes, it's tough. Sim, é difícil. Да, это тяжело.

Yes, you kind of never really get totally used to it, Sim, você nunca se acostuma totalmente a isso, Да, ты как бы никогда не привыкнешь к этому полностью,

'cause you always have that little part of your brain porque você sempre tem essa pequena parte do seu cérebro потому что у тебя всегда есть эта маленькая часть твоего мозга

that just sort of wants to go do something else, que meio que quer fazer outra coisa, что просто хочет заняться чем-то другим,

but you have to become able to push through mas você precisa ser capaz de avançar но вы должны стать в состоянии протолкнуть

that mental resistance. essa resistência mental. это психическое сопротивление.

Finally, I want to talk about the one mindset hack Finalmente, eu quero falar sobre o único truque de mentalidade

that I think has improved my life more than any other. que acho que melhorou minha vida mais do que qualquer outra.

And it's simply building E é simplesmente construir И это просто строительство

a sort of background loop in my head uma espécie de loop de fundo na minha cabeça какая-то фоновая петля в моей голове

that constantly asks where am I wrong que constantemente pergunta onde estou errado который постоянно спрашивает, где я не прав

or how am I wrong? ou como eu estou errado? или как я ошибаюсь?

I'm always looking for my own blind spots. Estou sempre procurando meus próprios pontos cegos. Я всегда ищу свои слепые пятна.

This mindset hack was kind of forced upon me Esse truque mental foi meio que me forçado Этот лайфхак был навязан мне

when I was a teenager Quando eu era adolescente

when a girlfriend of mine actually broke up with me, quando uma namorada minha realmente terminou comigo, когда моя девушка на самом деле рассталась со мной,

and she told me the reason that she left me

was that I always had to be right. era que eu sempre tinha que estar certa.

Every time we'd get into an argument Toda vez que entramos em uma discussão Каждый раз, когда мы вступали в спор

or even just a conversation, ou mesmo apenas uma conversa, или даже просто разговор,

I always had to be the person with the last word. Eu sempre tive que ser a pessoa com a última palavra. Я всегда должен был быть человеком с последним словом.

I didn't really realize this at the time, Eu realmente não percebi isso na época,

but when that happened, the pain of being dumped mas quando isso aconteceu, a dor de ser despejada но когда это случилось, боль от того, что тебя бросили

was so great that I was forced to look at my actions, foi tão bom que fui forçado a olhar para minhas ações, был настолько велик, что я был вынужден смотреть на свои действия,

to look at the way that I thought. para olhar para o que eu pensava. посмотреть на то, как я думал.

And I realized that, yes, I did have E eu percebi que sim, eu tinha И я понял, что да, у меня был

this implicit assumption that I was right in all things, essa suposição implícita de que eu estava certo em todas as coisas, это неявное предположение, что я был прав во всем,

even if I would have never admitted it even to myself. mesmo que eu nunca tivesse admitido isso para mim mesma. даже если бы я никогда не признался в этом даже себе.

And I think a lot of people are like this, E acho que muitas pessoas são assim,

especially people who are generally successful особенно люди, которые в целом успешны

at a lot of the things they do. em muitas coisas que eles fazem. во многих вещах, которые они делают.

There's this sort of hubris or pride Existe esse tipo de arrogância ou orgulho Есть такая гордыня или гордость

that develops in the back of our minds que se desenvolve no fundo de nossas mentes что развивается в глубине нашего сознания

and sort of squashes any humility we have. e meio que esmaga qualquer humildade que temos. и вроде раздавливает любое смирение, которое у нас есть.

And it causes us to miss a lot of our blind spots E isso nos faz perder muitos dos nossos pontos cegos И это заставляет нас упускать из виду многие наши слепые зоны.

or to assume things that aren't true. ou assumir coisas que não são verdadeiras. или предполагать вещи, которые не соответствуют действительности.

So even though that experience was very painful, Obwohl diese Erfahrung sehr schmerzhaft war, Então, mesmo que essa experiência tenha sido muito dolorosa, Поэтому, несмотря на то, что этот опыт был очень болезненным,

I count it as a blessing, Eu considero isso uma bênção, Я считаю это благословением,

because it sort of forced me to develop this assumption weil es mich irgendwie gezwungen hat, diese Annahme zu entwickeln porque meio que me forçou a desenvolver essa suposição потому что это как бы заставило меня развить это предположение

that I'm probably wrong in a lot of areas. que provavelmente estou errado em muitas áreas. что я, вероятно, ошибаюсь во многих областях.

Even when I think that I'm right about something, Mesmo quando penso que estou certo sobre alguma coisa, Даже когда я думаю, что я прав в чем-то,

there might be a blind spot. pode haver um ponto cego. может быть слепое пятно.

There might be something that I'm missing. Pode estar faltando algo. Может быть что-то, что я упускаю.

So I ask myself, what could I possibly be missing? Então eu me pergunto, o que eu poderia estar perdendo? Поэтому я спрашиваю себя, что я мог упустить?

And a lot of times I try to put myself in the shoes of the person that I'm talking to E muitas vezes eu tento me colocar И много раз я пытаюсь поставить себя на место человека, с которым разговариваю.

and ask, what is their perspective on this? no lugar da pessoa com quem estou falando и спросите, какова их точка зрения на это?

What could they see that I might not be seeing? 私が見ていないかもしれないものを彼らは見ることができましたか? e pergunte: qual é a perspectiva deles sobre isso? Что они могли видеть, чего я мог не видеть?

Now I don't think you have to go through O que eles viram que eu talvez não estivesse vendo? Теперь я не думаю, что вам нужно пройти через

a super painful experience to develop this ability. Agora eu acho que você não precisa passar супер болезненный опыт для развития этой способности.

And I would say that a lot of its refinement uma experiência super dolorosa para desenvolver essa habilidade. И я бы сказал, что много его изысканности

came from reading books E eu diria que muito do seu refinamento пришло из чтения книг

like Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality veio da leitura de livros как Гарри Поттер и методы рационального мышления

or Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman como Harry Potter e os Métodos da Racionalidade

or even some of the individual blog posts ou pensando rápido e devagar por Daniel Kahneman или даже некоторые из отдельных сообщений в блоге

over on LessWrong.com, ou até mesmo algumas das postagens individuais do blog на LessWrong.com,

which was one of the original resources em LessWrong.com, который был одним из исходных ресурсов

where I started learning about human rationality, que era um dos recursos originais где я начал изучать человеческую рациональность,

and learning to notice my own confusion onde comecei a aprender sobre a racionalidade humana, и научиться замечать собственное замешательство

and notice my blind spots. e aprendendo a perceber minha própria confusão и заметьте мои слепые пятна.

Regardless of how you go about developing this ability, e observe meus pontos cegos. Независимо от того, как вы будете развивать эту способность,

once you do get better at using it Independentemente de como você desenvolve essa capacidade, как только вы научитесь лучше его использовать

and making it more habitual, и сделать его более привычным,

you're gonna become a much more likable person, ты станешь гораздо более симпатичным человеком,

because people will see you as not arrogant, потому что люди увидят, что ты не высокомерный,

as open to noticing your own flaws and your own blind spots. открыты для того, чтобы замечать собственные недостатки и слепые пятна.

And aside from that, it's also gonna make you aberto a perceber suas próprias falhas e seus próprios pontos cegos. Кроме того, это также заставит вас

a better problem solver. лучшее решение проблем.

As Barbara Oakley talks about um melhor solucionador de problemas. Как говорит Барбара Окли

in her book A Mind for Numbers, Como Barbara Oakley fala sobre

there's this concept called einstellung, em seu livro A Mind for Numbers, есть такая концепция под названием einstellung,

where the work that you've done existe esse conceito chamado einstellung, где работа, которую вы сделали

to learn something earlier onde o trabalho que você fez научиться чему-то раньше

can sort of block the ability for you aprender algo mais cedo может блокировать способность для вас

to consider new information, pode bloquear a capacidade para você учитывать новую информацию,

because you have these very well-worn neural patterns considerar novas informações, потому что у вас есть эти очень изношенные нейронные паттерны

that are pretty difficult to break out of. porque você tem esses padrões neurais muito desgastados из которых довольно сложно вырваться.

But if you can build this metacognitive skill que são muito difíceis de romper. Но если вы можете развить этот метакогнитивный навык

of constantly challenging your beliefs Mas se você pode criar essa habilidade metacognitiva постоянно бросать вызов своим убеждениям

and looking for your blind spots, de desafiar constantemente suas crenças и ищу свои слепые пятна,

you're gonna be far less susceptible to this einstellung. e procurando seus pontos cegos, вы будете гораздо менее восприимчивы к этому einstellung.

So going forward, start tying você será muito menos suscetível a esse einstellung. Итак, приступайте к вязанию

to consciously challenge your beliefs. Então, daqui para frente, comece a amarrar сознательно бросить вызов своим убеждениям.

Start asking yourself, how could I be wrong? desafiar conscientemente suas crenças. Начните спрашивать себя, как я могу ошибаться?

And in doing so you're gonna become Comece a se perguntar, como eu poderia estar errado? И при этом ты станешь

a much better problem solver. E ao fazer isso, você se tornará

Of course, if you want to boost um solucionador de problemas muito melhor. Конечно, если вы хотите повысить

those problem-solving skills even further, Claro, se você quiser aumentar эти навыки решения проблем еще больше,

then the best way to do it essas habilidades de resolução de problemas ainda mais, тогда лучший способ сделать это

is to practice problem solving on a daily basis. então a melhor maneira de fazer isso

And a great place to do this is at Brilliant.org. é praticar a resolução de problemas diariamente.

Brilliant is an excellent learning platform E um ótimo lugar para fazer isso é no Brilliant.org.

for anyone wanting to improve their skills

in math, science, and computer science. para quem quer melhorar suas habilidades

And they take a very active approach em matemática, ciências e ciência da computação. И они используют очень активный подход

to building all of their courses, E eles adotam uma abordagem muito ativa для создания всех своих курсов,

meaning that whether you want para construir todos os seus cursos, это означает, что хочешь ли ты

to take a course on calculus or on math significando que se você quer пройти курс исчисления или математики

for quantitative training in finance para fazer um curso de cálculo ou matemática для количественного обучения в области финансов

or on computer memory, computer algorithms, para treinamento quantitativo em finanças или в компьютерной памяти, компьютерных алгоритмах,

or gravitational physics, you're gonna find yourself ou na memória do computador, algoritmos de computador, или гравитационная физика, ты найдешь себя

immediately thrown into challenging problems ou física gravitacional, você vai se encontrar сразу бросается в сложные задачи

that stretch your problem-solving capabilities imediatamente jogado em problemas desafiadores которые расширят ваши возможности решения проблем

and stretch that lateral-thinking ability que ampliam seus recursos de solução de problemas и растянуть эту способность нестандартного мышления

that we talked about in earlier videos. о которых мы говорили в предыдущих видео.

Additionally, you're not gonna find yourself sobre as quais falamos em vídeos anteriores. Кроме того, вы не найдете себя

they've also released a new feature called Daily Problems, Agora, além de sua biblioteca de cursos detalhados, они также выпустили новую функцию под названием «Ежедневные проблемы»,

that can whet your appetite это может подогреть ваш аппетит

and get you interested in new subjects и заинтересовать вас новыми предметами bu iştahınızı kabartabilir

such as how prehistoric humans tracked time e interessá-lo por novos assuntos например, как доисторические люди отслеживали время

or how you can cut a Mobius strip in half. como como os humanos pré-históricos rastreavam o tempo или как разрезать ленту Мебиуса пополам.

These problems take about five minutes every single day, ou como você pode cortar uma tira Mobius ao meio.

so you can build them into a habit. так что вы можете превратить их в привычку.

And not only do they improve para que você possa transformá-los em um hábito. И не только улучшают
