A perfect storm is brewing in the United States. Inflation, bank collapse, severe drought in the agricultural belt, recession, food shortages, diesel fuel and heating oil shortages, baby formula shortages, available automobile shortages and prices, the price of living place.
it's a good time to buy and basically I've just got cash sitting duck in the bank and I'd really love to put it to good use seeing how inflation is at an all time-high, who is this coach that guides you, mind I look them up
Government policy has thrown the future under the bus for decades. The day of judgment is near. I predict an 80% drop in the stock market. Investors will abandon stocks in favor of real estate. There will be no money in banks... You must devise a strategy for survival.
**THE FIRST 20 HOURS - HOW TO LEARN ANYTHING** 1. Deconstruct the skill: - decide exactly what you want to be able to do when you're done, and then look into the skill and break it down into smaller pieces. 2. Learn enough to self correct: - learn just enough that you can actually practice and self correct or self edit as you practice. 3. Remove barriers to practice: - remove the distractions that are keeping you from practicing. 4. Practice for at least 20 hours: - by pre-committing to practicing whatever it is that you want to do for at least 20 hours, you will be able to overcome initial frustration barrier and stick with the practice long enough to actually reap the rewards. 5. The major barrier's not intellectual, it's emotional.
Im a English and Japanese learner, and I couldn't agree more with this video. The biggest barrier which obstructs you is emotional--'Im afraid of failure, Im afraid that what I've done wont work ect.' So just keep doing it, keep practicing, keep learning. And finally, you'll achieve your goals.
This video made me want to learn Japanese again , I would start learning Japanese by learning from books designed for schools, they would slowly teach you grammar rules and a couple of business words are how to greet someone . I would quickly get bored and after a couple of weeks quit. But that's the thing the books I was using were designed to teach business men , they focus on grammar because it's an easy subject to grade on tests. But I don't care about any of that. What I need is the most important elements, that will make it easy for me to understand general Japanese . I'm still going to use those books but I'm not going to make them the central focus of my learning.
10:30 - 11:15 is the life changing quote for me. Trying to be a perfectionist at everything and eventually procrastinating is the thing that I'm doing over these years. Thank you 💖
@LIMO yeah i think I understand what you feel. I feel the same, i can play electric guitar, acoustic guitar, drum, bass and keyboard. But the problem is i only learned fundamental part, i can play notes and chords. But yeah, that’s the limit.
This is 110% correct. Looking back on every skill I've learned and accounted my hours for, it is around the 15 - 20 hour range that I feel "I got the hang of this" and that the dream isn't foolish, but by practice and repetition, the perception becomes reality.
It's correct to the point at which you learn too long without getting enough result back and you at times lose self-confidence. Gotta agree with @Jar Jar Sphinx
@Technolus If you can do it. Many people simply cant get into something on command, and thereby making 30 minutes useful. For myself, wether its reading, or practicing I would need a minimum of an hour. But I get your point. Its a way of looking at your spare time more optimistically.
@Ceasar Saran he actually did: learn the minimum so you can self correct while practicing, and even if you think you don't have time just allocate something like 30 minutes a day because it doesn't take much to learn something to an acceptable proficiency level.
This is very helpful. Thank you for the work that went into this presentation. I could relate when he started talking about not starting to practice until he read all the books and understood all the concepts. Read a little, then practice a little, then progress that way.
The best, most exciting, most practical, most fascinating Ted talk that I continue to come back to you again and again. Read the book multiple times, applied it to everything from learning a new language to fixing up my house, to now developing my skills as a ham radio operator. Thank you so much for this.
Absolutely brilliant. Everything said was spot on. Anyone can start to achieve any goal with just a little practice and motivation and leaving the fear behind. Use fear as a focus to achieve your goal, not to prevent it.
Thanks so much! This is so true. When I was 13 I really wanted to learn the guitar, and three months with daily working at it the way they tried to teach it in school got me nowhere. 2 years later I tried again with a totally different approach, basically just having fun with it and not being afraid of making mistakes but learning from them and 6 months later I was in a good band playing the lead guitar. No one expects you to learn anything by doing it right from the beginning anyway so just dive into it, make some mistakes and have fun. Learning rocks!
Love it! Put 20 hours practice in it and have fun! Thinking about my karate journey 2hrs×10weeks here I am feeling much more comfortable compared the stressful emotion at the middle. Now the next learning is about C++ programming for a R5 module problem. Love the idea of self-correction milestone. And the dedication of 20 hours practice. My comment about the 20 hours is that it's just the practice time, it doesn't include 3 also very important things, the preparation time, the decomposing time, and the reflection time.
This ted talk is worth 100 books read, and 100 movies watched on self-improvement. It's rare to find such an influential video. Kudos to all of you who ended up watching this!
1 - decida exatamente o que você quer ser capaz de fazer quando você abacar, e então olhe para a habilidade e divida-a em pequenos pedaços. A maior parte das habilidades que queremos aprender, na verdade são grandes pacotes de habilidades que requerem diferentes coisas. Quanto mais dividirmos essa habilidade, mais somos capazes de decidir quais são as partes da habilidade que irão realmente nos ajudar a conseguirmos o que queremos. E dessa forma podemos praticar primeiro as coisas mais importantes, e dessa forma seremos capazes de melhorar a nossa performance no menor tempo possível. 2 - a segunda é, aprender o suficiente para se auto-corrigir. Então, devemos pegar de três a cinco recursos sobre o que estamos tentando aprender. Pode ser livros, DVDs, cursos, qualquer coisa. Não devemos usar isso como forma de adiar a prática. A prática deve começar imediatamente, e o que queremos é aprender o suficiente para sermos capazes de nos auto-corrigirmos ou auto-editarmos enquanto praticamos. Então o aprendizado se torna uma forma de melhorar e notar quando estamos cometendo um erro, e dessa forma podemos fazer algo diferente. 3 - remova as barreiras para praticar. Distrações, televisão, internet, todas essas coisas que ficam no caminho entre nós e a cadeira para começarmos a estudar e trabalhar. Dessa forma, quanto mais nos tornamos capazes de usar um pouco da nossa força de vontade para remover as distrações que estão impedindo de praticar mais somos capazes de sentar e praticarmos. 4 - praticar por pelo menos 20 horas.
I really believe in everything he has just said. It is important to avoid procrastination guys. I am telling you this because of my life experience. I moved to Canada when I was 20 years old and my life has changed completely. I was studying computer engineering in my home country and was about to complete my 3rd year when my mother took the decision to move to Canada. It was really difficult at the beginning because of the language and culture. My knowledge about English was probably between 30% and 45%, so I had to invest part of time studying English. I proposed to myself that I had to learn the language at a university level in 1 year, and it worked. I still need improvements, but I feel really proud of myself because I was able to learn the language. After having learned English, I applied to University of Toronto to study Computer Science, and since the semester was going to start on September of the following year, I took that year to study everything about my career. I took my time to study advanced functions, calculus, physics and programming. What do I mean about all of this? You can learn everything you want if you really want to. The crucial part of all of this is to believe that you can do it. I personally do not believe in what the science says about the "SPECIAL KIDS". We all are smart beings that have the same capacities to learn everything we want. You can do it guys if you are willing to take the effort. I hope you have a great day and I wish you all the best ☺️. NEVER GIVE UP.
@Dilaine Souza Incredible, I hope your still continuing your journey to become fluent in the English language. I must say that it’s a very difficult language to learn. In fact, I still struggle with understanding despite my English background.
I’m from Angola probably many of us don’t know what’s country is but it doesn’t matter I start study English a 3 months ago and I’m very proud for improvement day after day I believe that we can do anything if we love doing this things, God bless
4 simple steps to “Rapid Skill acquisition” are: 1- Deconstruct the skill and decide exactly what you would be able to do by breaking down the skill into smaller pieces 2- Learn enough to self correct (Learn enough part of the skill which you can practice and self correct) 3- Remove practice barriers (distractions) by utilising a little will power 4- Practice at least 20 hours
What I learned is: we need to be able to deconstruct the skill, and learn enough to self assess our progress eliminating diseraction while practice time, and put our 20 hours .This was so excellent.
Maybe search online or a book can help us to deconstruct a skill. But I have no idea how to know that we've already have the ability to do self correct
I am in the midst of a career change. After 24 years as a doctor, I am training to become an airline pilot. I have accumulated 10 hours of flight so far, and I’m starting to see myself soar.
About the 10 000 rule (6:15), i find it interesting how it went from achieving a very special expert skill to 10 000 hours to learn anything. I think that reflects a lot on people's mindset, how they usually try something not out of interest and passion, but to immediately become the best at it. It isn't done out of love but out of competition, and that's way seeing a number such as 10 000 hours is discouraging for a lot of people who want to try something new. Because they don't want to fully admit that they are not investing themselves in the hobby for the right reason, and so they find an excuse to flake out the first chance they get out of "but this is just too difficult and i dont have the time for it"
The more widespread a thought becomes the more subjected to scrutiny and opposition, not fully relating to quality or aurhenticity. Amazingly enough, it can be Politics that make a very popular and genuine concept agreeable or unacceptable. Any content or context that has a global positive or negative back up of any kind will reach Political grounds! From that point on it will be manipulated so much that lost of perspectives and origins can be lost in space! This being so common and widespread involves a lot of research to figure out true meanings that may not have been fully uncovered in the first place anyway. This added complexity may cover up the simplicities and availablility of present solutions and the fact that anything complex is based on a cocktail of simple facts and events that are part of acceptance or rejection of natural evolution
Dziękuję bardzo za polskie napisy , bo to bardzo przekonująca prezentacja, dzięki niej pierwszy raz zrobiłam sama przelewy, nadałam paczkę do paczkomatu i nabrałam pewności siebie- dziękuję bardzo!
I love the medley at the end! I counted 18 snippets of songs with the same chords!! And he is right - I tutor English students and I think 20 hours is a good tipping point :) Great to think about progress in this way, and focus on what you can "do" and not what you CAN'T do. Stick with the skill long enough to see results!! :)
Amazing inspirational speech 👏👏👏 You're so right that the major barrier to learning new thing is not intellectual, it's about emotional! We all start at zero point but if we keep practising and working hard on it, we will soon get better at it 😊 Enjoy what you're doing and find a way work best for you, hope all of us will achieve our happiness and goals 💟
Pessoas como esse homem, me fazem continuar acreditando na humanidade. Após o evento da internet comecei amar o povo estado-unidense, antes eu achava todos insensíveis e frios: não são. São pessoas como todas as pessoas do mundo. ❤
I finally realized that the reason why I couldn't acquire new skills thanks to watching this video. I always quit learning new things within 20 hours because I didn't find any progress about them and got frustration. From now on, I'm gonna keep learning at least 20 hours. And I think that I can automatically keep doing it if I could achieve more than 20 hours because it will become routine of my life. I appreciate the speaker for giving me motivation.
This is a really interesting video. I strongly believe that time is not the main part to learn a new skill. The most important things are the right techniques and patience.
1. Deconstruct the skill. Decide what you exactly want to do with skill and break the skill, practice the most important skills. 2. Learn enough to correct yourself. Practice just enough to notice when you do mistakes and get on the right path. 3. Remove the distractions. Disable notifications and remove all the distractions. 4. Practice at least 20 hours. Try to do 20 hours of deliberate practice. Stick with it no matter what. Additional:- The major barrier to skill acquisition isn't an intellectual one, but it's emotional.
This is so true. I learn freestyle waacking dance in 2 weeks and I literally committed every single day for an hour or 2. I don't do any dance within that 2 weeks, I just focused on throwing my hands. No music, no heads, no shoulder movements, no footworks, just pure arms (basics of waacking) to train my muscle. Now I've already been dancing (popping) for years, but never tried waacking before. Today I've almost transitioned my style into waacking. This is the same thing with learning other things. You have to commit OUT OF PASSION and you will learn faster, compared to when you're learning things not in your interest.
Yes he is totally right! Ive noticed as well that if you can allocate just up to 1 hour per weekday to do smth that makes you happy or helps you move towards your dream - you accomplish it so much fatser and become so much happier! Thanks for sharing Josh and TED!
I'm implicitly amazed at the final point that he referred to the barrier is up to emotional. Frankly, I've been that guy who is at the risk of being criticised for ignorance in some subjects. But as i see sense that's no longer a matter, it's just up to my pessimistic emotion, I might have a good deal strength to move forwards. Thanks him for sharing such a sense of perspective ❤️❤️
Summary: Just 20 hours is enough to become “reasonably good” at any skill. 1. Deconstruct the skill - Break the skill down into its most basic parts. Which parts are necessary for hitting the goal you have? (i.e. if your goal is to sing a song in Korean, you can primarily focus on pronunciation, not learning a bunch of vocabulary) 2. Learn enough to self correct - Learn enough to realize when you're making mistakes. 3. Remove barriers to practice - Turn off your phone, unplug the TV. Put your guitar, piano, language book in the middle of your room, not behind your stack of dirty laundry. 4. Practice for at least 20 hours - Commit to 20 hours from the start. You're going to be frustrated at times, so committing beforehand will help you push through the frustration.
This awesome! It was literally a question I was asking and you provided the answer. Thank you! And thank you also for the encouragement to be a continuing learner!

Mrs Harry Ava,she charges a 10% commissions on every profit made after trading sessions which is fair compare to the effect she put in to make huge profit
Impressionante a necessidade que temos de outras pessoas nos dizerem o que sabemos que precisamos fazer. Deve ser por isso que os pais existem rs rs. Muito bom assistir esse vídeo até o final.
Thanks to you sir. I come back to write this 3 months (- +) after i watched this video. When i was learning english, i've tried to memorize all the words and vocab as much as possible, but after months i still can't speak or even give a comment in youtube or instagram post in english. After watched this video i realize, i don't need all the words in oxford dictionary to start speaking, like that ukelele chords, know some important words is enough for you to speak in foreign language, and that's what i do now.
@Матвей Aношин Man, I used to think that we are the only ones in the world who don't speak English well and that everyone can speak English besides their mother tongue, but I was wrong about that a lot of people don't know it well and are still learning it.
This is quite simple as Josh put it. Why have I all these years been told by instructors to do this and that, and they kept on putting doubts in my mind day after day. When it isn't intellectual as I thought, but emotional. That was the secret sauce I never new about that prevented my wanting to take on several new challenges, because I thought I was smart enough. This could be the pitfall for many students today, not knowing Josh's simple concept.
Amazing info. Yes. Hear 10k hours would more likely dishearten one from pursuing something vs knowing it only takes a month of diligence. Blessings for spreading light. 🙏🏿
1. Deconstruct the skill 2. Learn enough to self-correct (looking for too much material or learn too much is a kind of procrastinate) 3. Remove practice barriers 4. Practice at least 20 hours
@By Any Means Necessary If you are just saying "I'll just get 20 books on how to code" it's a form of proscratination. The point is to begin as soon as possible and learn from self correction. Learn from errors that you are making as you are practising the skill (e.g. coding). Learning should be about learning from actual mistakes.
@David Min Sadly people that have this "Give me results now" are the very ones that plato much quicker than others and mostly give up and/or never achive their goal New years res. area great example of this If sitting down for a 20 minute video on how to change your life is to much, i do NOT feel the problem is time for you but more on focus and realistic achivements
It's riveting!! In my opinion learning new things also vary from person to person. And it's so true that we actually scare to take that very first step to learn anything new. This Ted talk made my day😊
Notes - the first 20 hours rules 1. Deconstruct the skill 2. Learn enough to self-correct 3. Remove practice barriers 4. Actually, practice at least 20 hours Advice/Quote: "The main barrier is not INTELLECTUAL, it's EMOTIONAL" - Josh Hauman
1. Deconstruct the skill. 2. Learn enough to self-correct. 3. Remove practice barriers. 4. Practice at least 20 hours. Man, you are great!!!!!! Loved your ted talk!
I have an amazing time watching this video! This sounds great to me. Thanks a lot for sharing how to learn something new. Believe in myself that I can do everything!
A lot of comments here are disappointing to read. The man shared with us a golden rule to learn and become decent at a new skill. He even specified you won't become an expert, you will become decent. That's the whole point of the video. He wanted to break the misconception of the 10,000 hour rule and encourage people to learn a subject they have been wanted to address and that it is not impossible, it takes 20 hours and you will have learned the basics and that it is do-able even if your schedule is tight. ''lolz then why isnt erryone a doctor ??? shit ted talk lmao !!1'' you missed the point
It was very, very simplistic at best. Yes Im sure its good if you want to do something so mediocre as fold napkins or make paper airplanes or only play a ukulele as a 2 bit busker (provided you could already sing)
@Allison Scott Majure yeah, I was somewhat bemused by that. It didn't exactly lend him a lot of credibility. I also disagree with the premise that you can be good enough at something after 20 hours. That might be just enough time to realise you haven't even scratched the surface (depending on the skill). It's good for pop motivation but a bit insulting to people who have actually dedicated a large portion of their time to properly learning and understanding something.
@R3 But part of the problem is you actually haven't 'learnt to play' at all. Usually learning something for 20 hours just shows you how much more there is to know and how basic your skills really are. I agree that having a basic understanding of something is far better than nothing, but the scale of his graph was (IMO) extremely misleading. Those 20 hours might get you a few percent of the way to mastery, not >50% as the chart seemed to imply. I'm sure it's different for different skills, but for many things lay people usually don't appreciate just how much is involved in a particular skill or ability, and how far removed an amateur is from an expert. I also found his interpretation of the steep learning curve to be strange. I always took that to mean something was very hard to learn even the basics of at first- basically the opposite of what he was claiming (but maybe that's my mistake). I'm not knocking what the talk was about by the way. I've always believed anybody can learn something if they put in the time and apply themselves properly; I just think it's a bit specious to suggest that someone can be 'good enough' at something after 20 hours. That's really the tip of the iceberg.
This does sound about right. I did ballroom dance for 2 hours a week, every week for about 2 months, and in that time, I went from knowing nothing to actually being able to remember the different dances and do them fairly well.
Four simple steps to rapid skill acquisition: 1. Deconstruct the skill; 2. Learn enough to self-correct; 3. Remove practice barriers; 4. Practice at least 20 hours. Thanks for sharing. It's so useful for everyone.
It's amazing that some people can listen to this man and call him a bad guy. It's really a shame, because the people who hate him are the people who really need to hear the message he's spreading......
I was always better than my classmates in speaking english, but I wasn't well enough to able to speak properly or understand completely. Then one day one thought came up and I've decided to be as better as I can in speaking english. Now, I've been practicing english for almost 1 year. At least 20 minutes a day. That's 20 minutes made me way better english speaker than I was before. When I saw this video I wanted to share my experience. Guys, I watched this video without any subtitle and understood every single words thanks to my 20 minutes efforts a day. I achieved this level without any partner or course. Although I'm still not that good enough and you can find lots of errors I've made in my comment, I know that I'm gonna be better day by day and eventually achieve my goal. Whatever you wanna learn, just believe in yourself and practice at least 20 minutes a day. Good luck.
I've heard a lottt about the 10,000 hours it takes to master something, but this is the first I've heard about it taking 20 hours to generally get a hand on a topic. I geek out over learning too haha so you're far from alone.
As someone that started piano lessons on 20th January, at the time of writing this comment I have exactly 25 hours of practice put in. 5 hours x 5 lessons with my teacher, and 20 hours practice at home. I don't know what "reasonably good" means to Josh, but if you ask me I'm still absolutely incompetent. And my teacher told me I'm advancing much faster than the big majority of students she had. Based off my estimates it will be at least 6 months of practice before I'm going to be "reasonably good". At the moment I'm practising for 1 hour every day, so in 30 days I have 30 hours. 30 x 6 months is approximately 180 days = 180 hours. Piano is not easy.
This is really good Kaufman. I want to learn a bunch of new stuff, I'll use this principle and will share my success or failure on it. Keeping this as a watch word "the barrier to learn is not intellectual but emotional".. A question though does it applies to small children below the age of 10?
Me and my wife learned e-commerce very quickly, but I think because we needed it so bad. We quit our jobs and didn't want to get back to any other job to work for anyone. We wanted our own business, so we had to learn new skill asap. But we also wanted to work regardless of our physical location, thus online. We read a lot and started practicing immediately. Eventually, we realised that we are good enough in e-commerce. We started with Amazon FBA business, then our own online stores, after that we had students in groups and 1:1 coaching, then we created online courses on how to launch your online business and the last thing was creating an e-commerce agency and creating professional e-commerce stores for clients. Considering that e-commerce field is huge (from hosting, domain and website creation to marketing, seo and payment gateway), I would say we did great.
The brain is a beautiful machine, this guy showed a really good strategy on how to use it but it's still up to you to learn whatever you wanna learn. Good luck everyone, i wish all of your dreams to become true!
Aditya Indoori I feel u, i wish i could just instantly get the knowledge out of a book...but that wouldnt be a challenge now would it lol. That's the future though, when they can install shit in our brains so our brains will be able to access the internet.
@Aline Azevedo Yup. Schools teach students very little to succeed. Students have to deal with unnecessary and uninterested Assignments. As a school graduate myself, I have no idea how to invest money, save money, do taxes, manage expenses, what to do with my first paycheck, know about life, and things like that😕😔. I don't even know why I went to college for.
@Aline Azevedo thing is, majority of teachers are more concerned about getting passed the curriculum as efficient as possible. I dont blame them that much tho. In america, teachers are just not paid enough. The best teachers tho look outside the box and improve the students foundation with videos like this, and ultimately, become mote efficient at getting through the course.
I came across Joshes book at my local library the other day and had to nab it, it's just by coincidence that I found this video. He's absolutely spot on though. Everyone thinks they don't have time to do X, but it's because they're usually spending their time doing things that don't help them grow. Feel free to watch an hour of Netflix or binge a show, but just do something productive for 30-60 minutes and make that a reward you get. Being disciplined doesn't mean you can't enjoy those things, in fact, being disciplined means you can enjoy more of those things because now you've created more time.
Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance-wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life..
This video reminds me of when I was learning Italian language. I got the most spoken verbs of Italian language on Google and I learned them very well so I could have a basic conversation with Italians. That was the start for me and within a month I could speak the language much better than I thought: it was just like the Pareto rule because I chose the 20% that mattered most to keep a basic conversation.
@Fabio Pancot i agree and i can tell u german is one of the most complicated languages, the grammar is just overwhelming and it doesnt make sense. Woman is feminine and so you need to use an article/genus which is feminine called 'die' but u need the same article for a banana as well, why? I mean have u ever seen a feminine banana? So first big common issue for german language learnes.
I am studying on English Interpreting and translation department and it is my first year . I tried to find a job which is suitable my english level , there was one place which I found but after they had evaluated me they said to me "You are not speech as fast as we want (Fluency Speaking) and there are some problems about creating sentence".Then they gave me time until July to develop my speed of speaking and other things . I wasn't sure that I’d be able to do this but after watched tedx videos now I am much more trusting myself about be able to do what they want .
thank you so much for sharing this great advice .. such an amazing strategy to implement for those who aspire to be successful and rise their life quality standards .. well done
Same as the 10,000 hrs rule this rule is applicable for only some skills. And it all depends on how steep a learning curve for those 20 hrs But he demonstrated in a way that mastering some new knowledge could be very doable since 10k hrs is a daunting effort.
I am almost at my 20th hour of watching TEDx talks and I have to say I AM getting pretty good at this.

**THE FIRST 20 HOURS - HOW TO LEARN ANYTHING**
1. Deconstruct the skill:
- decide exactly what you want to be able to do when you're done, and then look into the skill and break it down into smaller pieces.
2. Learn enough to self correct:
- learn just enough that you can actually practice and self correct or self edit as you practice.
3. Remove barriers to practice:
- remove the distractions that are keeping you from practicing.
4. Practice for at least 20 hours:
- by pre-committing to practicing whatever it is that you want to do for at least 20 hours, you will be able to overcome initial frustration barrier and stick with the practice long enough to actually reap the rewards.
5. The major barrier's not intellectual, it's emotional.
@Marta Rosevalda
Watch the video and pay attention Marta.
Oh
Whot is The Venus Project?
❤
@Marta Rosevalda you give examples of skills which can't be divided and i will politely tell you why you are wrong
Im a English and Japanese learner, and I couldn't agree more with this video. The biggest barrier which obstructs you is emotional--'Im afraid of failure, Im afraid that what I've done wont work ect.'
So just keep doing it, keep practicing, keep learning. And finally, you'll achieve your goals.

I am just beginning to learn kanji. And I am glad I found the 20-hour strategy. Can't wait to get there.
Totally agree.
@raven 頑張ってください
This video made me want to learn Japanese again , I would start learning Japanese by learning from books designed for schools, they would slowly teach you grammar rules and a couple of business words are how to greet someone .
I would quickly get bored and after a couple of weeks quit.
But that's the thing the books I was using were designed to teach business men , they focus on grammar because it's an easy subject to grade on tests.
But I don't care about any of that.
What I need is the most important elements, that will make it easy for me to understand general Japanese .
I'm still going to use those books but I'm not going to make them the central focus of my learning.
"The main barrier is not intellectual - it's emotional" was taken to heart. Thanks for the video

@LIMO yeah i think I understand what you feel. I feel the same, i can play electric guitar, acoustic guitar, drum, bass and keyboard. But the problem is i only learned fundamental part, i can play notes and chords. But yeah, that’s the limit.

This is 110% correct. Looking back on every skill I've learned and accounted my hours for, it is around the 15 - 20 hour range that I feel "I got the hang of this" and that the dream isn't foolish, but by practice and repetition, the perception becomes reality.
@Dan Bolton ur 20 hour rule shouldnt be fluency but understanding some phrases
It's correct to the point at which you learn too long without getting enough result back and you at times lose self-confidence. Gotta agree with @Jar Jar Sphinx
@Dan Bolton I am a French Teacher ! writeme
Well said my friend!
I want to witj drawing
Finally a decent, fun and engaging tedtalks that truly helps to set a practical goal and gives you a clear prospective on learning. THANK YOU
@Technolus If you can do it. Many people simply cant get into something on command, and thereby making 30 minutes useful. For myself, wether its reading, or practicing I would need a minimum of an hour. But I get your point. Its a way of looking at your spare time more optimistically.
@Ceasar Saran he actually did: learn the minimum so you can self correct while practicing, and even if you think you don't have time just allocate something like 30 minutes a day because it doesn't take much to learn something to an acceptable proficiency level.
I thought it was a huge waste of time. he didnt help tell us how to learn things at all.

Good Summarization Okada sang!
In 20 hours I learned how to read ひらがなとカタカナ.今、私は日本語をべんきょうします。

This is very helpful. Thank you for the work that went into this presentation. I could relate when he started talking about not starting to practice until he read all the books and understood all the concepts. Read a little, then practice a little, then progress that way.
The best, most exciting, most practical, most fascinating Ted talk that I continue to come back to you again and again. Read the book multiple times, applied it to everything from learning a new language to fixing up my house, to now developing my skills as a ham radio operator. Thank you so much for this.
@E. C. D. N. N. mastering the first 20 hours (look in the description)
What book?
"The main barrier is not intellectual -- it's EMOTIONAL." Amen to that.
@Krish Lock i'm also 😂
@Aisam Zahoor no one's know actually 😂😂
Wise words ,,🥳

Absolutely brilliant. Everything said was spot on. Anyone can start to achieve any goal with just a little practice and motivation and leaving the fear behind. Use fear as a focus to achieve your goal, not to prevent it.
You're so right! Once I started using my fear for motivation things started to go in the right path.
use fear as a focus to achieve...!!!
how's that even possible???
Thanks so much! This is so true. When I was 13 I really wanted to learn the guitar, and three months with daily working at it the way they tried to teach it in school got me nowhere. 2 years later I tried again with a totally different approach, basically just having fun with it and not being afraid of making mistakes but learning from them and 6 months later I was in a good band playing the lead guitar. No one expects you to learn anything by doing it right from the beginning anyway so just dive into it, make some mistakes and have fun. Learning rocks!
Love it! Put 20 hours practice in it and have fun!
Thinking about my karate journey 2hrs×10weeks here I am feeling much more comfortable compared the stressful emotion at the middle.
Now the next learning is about C++ programming for a R5 module problem.
Love the idea of self-correction milestone.
And the dedication of 20 hours practice.
My comment about the 20 hours is that it's just the practice time, it doesn't include 3 also very important things, the preparation time, the decomposing time, and the reflection time.
This ted talk is worth 100 books read, and 100 movies watched on self-improvement. It's rare to find such an influential video. Kudos to all of you who ended up watching this!
1 - decida exatamente o que você quer ser capaz de fazer quando você abacar, e então olhe para a habilidade e divida-a em pequenos pedaços. A maior parte das habilidades que queremos aprender, na verdade são grandes pacotes de habilidades que requerem diferentes coisas. Quanto mais dividirmos essa habilidade, mais somos capazes de decidir quais são as partes da habilidade que irão realmente nos ajudar a conseguirmos o que queremos. E dessa forma podemos praticar primeiro as coisas mais importantes, e dessa forma seremos capazes de melhorar a nossa performance no menor tempo possível.
2 - a segunda é, aprender o suficiente para se auto-corrigir. Então, devemos pegar de três a cinco recursos sobre o que estamos tentando aprender. Pode ser livros, DVDs, cursos, qualquer coisa. Não devemos usar isso como forma de adiar a prática. A prática deve começar imediatamente, e o que queremos é aprender o suficiente para sermos capazes de nos auto-corrigirmos ou auto-editarmos enquanto praticamos. Então o aprendizado se torna uma forma de melhorar e notar quando estamos cometendo um erro, e dessa forma podemos fazer algo diferente.
3 - remova as barreiras para praticar. Distrações, televisão, internet, todas essas coisas que ficam no caminho entre nós e a cadeira para começarmos a estudar e trabalhar. Dessa forma, quanto mais nos tornamos capazes de usar um pouco da nossa força de vontade para remover as distrações que estão impedindo de praticar mais somos capazes de sentar e praticarmos.
4 - praticar por pelo menos 20 horas.

I really believe in everything he has just said. It is important to avoid procrastination guys. I am telling you this because of my life experience. I moved to Canada when I was 20 years old and my life has changed completely. I was studying computer engineering in my home country and was about to complete my 3rd year when my mother took the decision to move to Canada. It was really difficult at the beginning because of the language and culture. My knowledge about English was probably between 30% and 45%, so I had to invest part of time studying English. I proposed to myself that I had to learn the language at a university level in 1 year, and it worked. I still need improvements, but I feel really proud of myself because I was able to learn the language. After having learned English, I applied to University of Toronto to study Computer Science, and since the semester was going to start on September of the following year, I took that year to study everything about my career. I took my time to study advanced functions, calculus, physics and programming. What do I mean about all of this? You can learn everything you want if you really want to. The crucial part of all of this is to believe that you can do it. I personally do not believe in what the science says about the "SPECIAL KIDS". We all are smart beings that have the same capacities to learn everything we want. You can do it guys if you are willing to take the effort. I hope you have a great day and I wish you all the best ☺️. NEVER GIVE UP.

@Dilaine Souza Incredible, I hope your still continuing your journey to become fluent in the English language. I must say that it’s a very difficult language to learn. In fact, I still struggle with understanding despite my English background.
I’m from Angola probably many of us don’t know what’s country is but it doesn’t matter I start study English a 3 months ago and I’m very proud for improvement day after day I believe that we can do anything if we love doing this things, God bless
thank you so much to share your story

4 simple steps to “Rapid Skill acquisition” are:
1- Deconstruct the skill and decide exactly what you would be able to do by breaking down the skill into smaller pieces
2- Learn enough to self correct
(Learn enough part of the skill which you can practice and self correct)
3- Remove practice barriers (distractions) by utilising a little will power
4- Practice at least 20 hours
What I learned is: we need to be able to deconstruct the skill, and learn enough to self assess our progress eliminating diseraction while practice time, and put our 20 hours .This was so excellent.
Maybe search online or a book can help us to deconstruct a skill. But I have no idea how to know that we've already have the ability to do self correct
I am in the midst of a career change. After 24 years as a doctor, I am training to become an airline pilot. I have accumulated 10 hours of flight so far, and I’m starting to see myself soar.
진짜 멋있어요!!! 우와...
Doctor and pilot? You sir, are epic!!!!
Well done sir! A real master at Work! More power to ya!
So beautiful!!!!!!!!❤️
Wow... great for your explosive change.👍 congratulations.
🇧🇷 Amei essa palestra! Gratidão a Deus, por esse ser humano incrível, por ele distribuir tantos aprendizados!🌷🌷🌷
About the 10 000 rule (6:15), i find it interesting how it went from achieving a very special expert skill to 10 000 hours to learn anything. I think that reflects a lot on people's mindset, how they usually try something not out of interest and passion, but to immediately become the best at it. It isn't done out of love but out of competition, and that's way seeing a number such as 10 000 hours is discouraging for a lot of people who want to try something new. Because they don't want to fully admit that they are not investing themselves in the hobby for the right reason, and so they find an excuse to flake out the first chance they get out of "but this is just too difficult and i dont have the time for it"
20hour Rules
- Deconstruct the skill
- Learn enough to self-correct
-Remove practice barriers
-Practice at least 20hours
Thank you
Thank yiu

Wow @Patrice Lauverjon that’s quite an exhaustive argument. You must have spent some time practicing that. Say….

The more widespread a thought becomes the more subjected to scrutiny and opposition, not fully relating to quality or aurhenticity. Amazingly enough, it can be Politics that make a very popular and genuine concept agreeable or unacceptable. Any content or context that has a global positive or negative back up of any kind will reach Political grounds! From that point on it will be manipulated so much that lost of perspectives and origins can be lost in space! This being so common and widespread involves a lot of research to figure out true meanings that may not have been fully uncovered in the first place anyway. This added complexity may cover up the simplicities and availablility of present solutions and the fact that anything complex is based on a cocktail of simple facts and events that are part of acceptance or rejection of natural evolution
Dziękuję bardzo za polskie napisy , bo to bardzo przekonująca prezentacja, dzięki niej pierwszy raz zrobiłam sama przelewy, nadałam paczkę do paczkomatu i nabrałam pewności siebie- dziękuję bardzo!
I love the medley at the end! I counted 18 snippets of songs with the same chords!! And he is right - I tutor English students and I think 20 hours is a good tipping point :) Great to think about progress in this way, and focus on what you can "do" and not what you CAN'T do. Stick with the skill long enough to see results!! :)
Amazing inspirational speech 👏👏👏 You're so right that the major barrier to learning new thing is not intellectual, it's about emotional! We all start at zero point but if we keep practising and working hard on it, we will soon get better at it 😊 Enjoy what you're doing and find a way work best for you, hope all of us will achieve our happiness and goals 💟

Pessoas como esse homem, me fazem continuar acreditando na humanidade. Após o evento da internet comecei amar o povo estado-unidense, antes eu achava todos insensíveis e frios: não são. São pessoas como todas as pessoas do mundo. ❤
Nossa, isso é incrível. 🧠👏👏👏
these kind of ted talks always gives me the motivation to actually do something, thank you
@Jar Jar Sphinx lmao, do it step by step, give yourself smart awards.
They make me want to do something, but I never do.
Yes.the same
@genrubah yes
This makes learning something more digestible instead of getting overwhelmed by the task. So right. Wish I watched this earlier in my life :’-)
I finally realized that the reason why I couldn't acquire new skills thanks to watching this video. I always quit learning new things within 20 hours because I didn't find any progress about them and got frustration. From now on, I'm gonna keep learning at least 20 hours. And I think that I can automatically keep doing it if I could achieve more than 20 hours because it will become routine of my life. I appreciate the speaker for giving me motivation.
Loved it! Thank you, Josh! I am going to learn something I have had on my mind for quite some time now. And that is because of YOU!
What an amazing talk, I really agree with you sir, I always consider myself a Fast learner but with this tips I´ll be unstoppable!
This is a really interesting video. I strongly believe that time is not the main part to learn a new skill. The most important things are the right techniques and patience.
Exactly
1. Deconstruct the skill. Decide what you exactly want to do with skill and break the skill, practice the most important skills.
2. Learn enough to correct yourself. Practice just enough to notice when you do mistakes and get on the right path.
3. Remove the distractions. Disable notifications and remove all the distractions.
4. Practice at least 20 hours. Try to do 20 hours of deliberate practice. Stick with it no matter what.
Additional:- The major barrier to skill acquisition isn't an intellectual one, but it's emotional.
thanks
@POGI KO SHET I don’t know if you still need this reply, but he says to break down the 20hours, it comes down to about 45 minutes a day.
Thank you for the conclusion. It helps me a lot
Thanks for the summary !
This is so true. I learn freestyle waacking dance in 2 weeks and I literally committed every single day for an hour or 2. I don't do any dance within that 2 weeks, I just focused on throwing my hands. No music, no heads, no shoulder movements, no footworks, just pure arms (basics of waacking) to train my muscle. Now I've already been dancing (popping) for years, but never tried waacking before. Today I've almost transitioned my style into waacking. This is the same thing with learning other things. You have to commit OUT OF PASSION and you will learn faster, compared to when you're learning things not in your interest.
Thank you Josh.. I am getting pretty into this and learn great things of how learn things. Hope to share this knowledge with my students also..
Yes he is totally right! Ive noticed as well that if you can allocate just up to 1 hour per weekday to do smth that makes you happy or helps you move towards your dream - you accomplish it so much fatser and become so much happier! Thanks for sharing Josh and TED!
I'm implicitly amazed at the final point that he referred to the barrier is up to emotional. Frankly, I've been that guy who is at the risk of being criticised for ignorance in some subjects. But as i see sense that's no longer a matter, it's just up to my pessimistic emotion, I might have a good deal strength to move forwards. Thanks him for sharing such a sense of perspective ❤️❤️
I loved this TED Talk!!!! What an excellent presentation and highly applicable topic ☺
Summary: Just 20 hours is enough to become “reasonably good” at any skill.
1. Deconstruct the skill - Break the skill down into its most basic parts. Which parts are necessary for hitting the goal you have? (i.e. if your goal is to sing a song in Korean, you can primarily focus on pronunciation, not learning a bunch of vocabulary)
2. Learn enough to self correct - Learn enough to realize when you're making mistakes.
3. Remove barriers to practice - Turn off your phone, unplug the TV. Put your guitar, piano, language book in the middle of your room, not behind your stack of dirty laundry.
4. Practice for at least 20 hours - Commit to 20 hours from the start. You're going to be frustrated at times, so committing beforehand will help you push through the frustration.
I was searching for this after watching the video to take some notes and I got to say, Thank you for your effort
THEY WILL CHANGE YOUR WORLD..
@G5_M
excelent Carrier! I will try exotic method. Thanks
@Sir Turd I agree.
The laundry has to be done before I can practice.
The most engaging and inspiring video I have watched today. Thank you so much. I am ready to learn and share my new skills with all my loved ones.
This awesome! It was literally a question I was asking and you provided the answer. Thank you! And thank you also for the encouragement to be a continuing learner!
*I’m glad I made productive decisions about my finances that has changed my life forever.I’m 49 years living in Alberta Canada bought my first house last month and hoping to retire at 52 if things keep going smoothly for me😴😏*
Despite the economic downturn,I'm so happy ,I have earned $10,000 profits returns from my $1,500 investment trading with her
Mrs Harry Ava,she charges a 10% commissions on every profit made after trading sessions which is fair compare to the effect she put in to make huge profit
Thanks for the recommendation just texted her now and she respond nicely
Please let her know i referred you
This really helps me to move forward on so many levels. Can't thank you enough.🙏
Impressionante a necessidade que temos de outras pessoas nos dizerem o que sabemos que precisamos fazer. Deve ser por isso que os pais existem rs rs. Muito bom assistir esse vídeo até o final.
Thanks to you sir. I come back to write this 3 months (- +) after i watched this video. When i was learning english, i've tried to memorize all the words and vocab as much as possible, but after months i still can't speak or even give a comment in youtube or instagram post in english. After watched this video i realize, i don't need all the words in oxford dictionary to start speaking, like that ukelele chords, know some important words is enough for you to speak in foreign language, and that's what i do now.
My friend, do you have any good tickets that you can recommend to me?
@Матвей Aношин Man, I used to think that we are the only ones in the world who don't speak English well and that everyone can speak English besides their mother tongue, but I was wrong about that a lot of people don't know it well and are still learning it.
And look at how well you did. I am fluent in two languages so i know what it takes.
Well, your english sounds fantastic now, so good job
I appreciate your time and your lesson you bring to us ! Thank you.
How you conveyed to learn new thing in 20 hours is really brilliant. Nicely done!!
This is quite simple as Josh put it. Why have I all these years been told by instructors to do this and that, and they kept on putting doubts in my mind day after day. When it isn't intellectual as I thought, but emotional. That was the secret sauce I never new about that prevented my wanting to take on several new challenges, because I thought I was smart enough. This could be the pitfall for many students today, not knowing Josh's simple concept.
Amazing info. Yes. Hear 10k hours would more likely dishearten one from pursuing something vs knowing it only takes a month of diligence. Blessings for spreading light. 🙏🏿
This is true! I put in only about that much time over a month and I became a great writer. He is teaching it the right way, I learned it that way.
1. Deconstruct the skill
2. Learn enough to self-correct (looking for too much material or learn too much is a kind of procrastinate)
3. Remove practice barriers
4. Practice at least 20 hours
@David Min lol
10:00
@By Any Means Necessary If you are just saying "I'll just get 20 books on how to code" it's a form of proscratination. The point is to begin as soon as possible and learn from self correction. Learn from errors that you are making as you are practising the skill (e.g. coding). Learning should be about learning from actual mistakes.
Could you elaborate on the 2nd point?
@David Min Sadly people that have this "Give me results now" are the very ones that plato much quicker than others and mostly give up and/or never achive their goal
New years res. area great example of this
If sitting down for a 20 minute video on how to change your life is to much, i do NOT feel the problem is time for you but more on focus and realistic achivements
This guy said exactly what I needed to hear. Just brilliant ✨
It's riveting!!
In my opinion learning new things also vary from person to person. And it's so true that we actually scare to take that very first step to learn anything new.
This Ted talk made my day😊
This is more than 20 hours of learning, practicing and having fun. Thank you sir :)
Notes - the first 20 hours rules
1. Deconstruct the skill
2. Learn enough to self-correct
3. Remove practice barriers
4. Actually, practice at least 20 hours

Great talk! Very inspiring! Thanks 🙏🏼
1. Deconstruct the skill.
2. Learn enough to self-correct.

4. Practice at least 20 hours.
Man, you are great!!!!!! Loved your ted talk!
This is why I love KZclip.
I preferred your time saving ted talk tbh Eloisa
yes
What does it mean to remove prescribe barriers?
with people like you i can always skip the video tnx
I have an amazing time watching this video!
This sounds great to me. Thanks a lot for sharing how to learn something new.
Believe in myself that I can do everything!
you know sir, you can save everyone who absorbs this 20 hour rule... mentally and physically... thank you so much for this talk!!
I'm learning English and I've watched this video to practice and it was amazing words to motivate people who are learning something new.
Watching this in 2021 along with many more TEDx talks these are fantastic and a brilliant way to develop your mind through knowledge
19 minutes that give me hope, spirit & education about life, so touching me thank you sir 👏
A lot of comments here are disappointing to read. The man shared with us a golden rule to learn and become decent at a new skill. He even specified you won't become an expert, you will become decent. That's the whole point of the video. He wanted to break the misconception of the 10,000 hour rule and encourage people to learn a subject they have been wanted to address and that it is not impossible, it takes 20 hours and you will have learned the basics and that it is do-able even if your schedule is tight. ''lolz then why isnt erryone a doctor ??? shit ted talk lmao !!1'' you missed the point
@Елена Каткова and you only have 6 subscribers?
It was very, very simplistic at best. Yes Im sure its good if you want to do something so mediocre as fold napkins or make paper airplanes or only play a ukulele as a 2 bit busker (provided you could already sing)
THEY WILL CHANGE YOUR WORLD..
@G5_M
@Allison Scott Majure yeah, I was somewhat bemused by that. It didn't exactly lend him a lot of credibility.
I also disagree with the premise that you can be good enough at something after 20 hours. That might be just enough time to realise you haven't even scratched the surface (depending on the skill). It's good for pop motivation but a bit insulting to people who have actually dedicated a large portion of their time to properly learning and understanding something.
@R3 But part of the problem is you actually haven't 'learnt to play' at all. Usually learning something for 20 hours just shows you how much more there is to know and how basic your skills really are.
I agree that having a basic understanding of something is far better than nothing, but the scale of his graph was (IMO) extremely misleading. Those 20 hours might get you a few percent of the way to mastery, not >50% as the chart seemed to imply.
I'm sure it's different for different skills, but for many things lay people usually don't appreciate just how much is involved in a particular skill or ability, and how far removed an amateur is from an expert.
I also found his interpretation of the steep learning curve to be strange. I always took that to mean something was very hard to learn even the basics of at first- basically the opposite of what he was claiming (but maybe that's my mistake).
I'm not knocking what the talk was about by the way. I've always believed anybody can learn something if they put in the time and apply themselves properly; I just think it's a bit specious to suggest that someone can be 'good enough' at something after 20 hours. That's really the tip of the iceberg.
This does sound about right. I did ballroom dance for 2 hours a week, every week for about 2 months, and in that time, I went from knowing nothing to actually being able to remember the different dances and do them fairly well.
Four simple steps to rapid skill acquisition:
1. Deconstruct the skill;
2. Learn enough to self-correct;
3. Remove practice barriers;
4. Practice at least 20 hours.
Thanks for sharing. It's so useful for everyone.
I love that I came I across this at this point in my life. Not wanting to make mistakes is my biggest barrier in life.
Combining the "5 secs rule" of mel robins to tackle procrastination then with this "20hrs rule"... its definitely going to be a blast
It's amazing that some people can listen to this man and call him a bad guy. It's really a shame, because the people who hate him are the people who really need to hear the message he's spreading......
I was always better than my classmates in speaking english, but I wasn't well enough to able to speak properly or understand completely. Then one day one thought came up and I've decided to be as better as I can in speaking english. Now, I've been practicing english for almost 1 year. At least 20 minutes a day. That's 20 minutes made me way better english speaker than I was before. When I saw this video I wanted to share my experience. Guys, I watched this video without any subtitle and understood every single words thanks to my 20 minutes efforts a day. I achieved this level without any partner or course. Although I'm still not that good enough and you can find lots of errors I've made in my comment, I know that I'm gonna be better day by day and eventually achieve my goal. Whatever you wanna learn, just believe in yourself and practice at least 20 minutes a day. Good luck.
I wouldn’t even be able to tell English is your first language 👍

I've heard a lottt about the 10,000 hours it takes to master something, but this is the first I've heard about it taking 20 hours to generally get a hand on a topic. I geek out over learning too haha so you're far from alone.

Mudou minha forma de pensa, e minha vida, foda demais 🇧🇷🧠
As someone that started piano lessons on 20th January, at the time of writing this comment I have exactly 25 hours of practice put in. 5 hours x 5 lessons with my teacher, and 20 hours practice at home. I don't know what "reasonably good" means to Josh, but if you ask me I'm still absolutely incompetent. And my teacher told me I'm advancing much faster than the big majority of students she had. Based off my estimates it will be at least 6 months of practice before I'm going to be "reasonably good". At the moment I'm practising for 1 hour every day, so in 30 days I have 30 hours. 30 x 6 months is approximately 180 days = 180 hours. Piano is not easy.
Learning is not about perfection. Best thing I heard today 🙌🙌
I was watching this video just to improve my listening in English but at the end I think this video going to change my life. Thanks.
omg

Sameeee
LOL
Haha ,same here 😂
One of the best TED videos that I have ever seen. Its very interesting and full of inspiration
This is really good Kaufman. I want to learn a bunch of new stuff, I'll use this principle and will share my success or failure on it. Keeping this as a watch word "the barrier to learn is not intellectual but emotional"..
A question though does it applies to small children below the age of 10?
Me and my wife learned e-commerce very quickly, but I think because we needed it so bad.
We quit our jobs and didn't want to get back to any other job to work for anyone. We wanted our own business, so we had to learn new skill asap. But we also wanted to work regardless of our physical location, thus online. We read a lot and started practicing immediately. Eventually, we realised that we are good enough in e-commerce.
We started with Amazon FBA business, then our own online stores, after that we had students in groups and 1:1 coaching, then we created online courses on how to launch your online business and the last thing was creating an e-commerce agency and creating professional e-commerce stores for clients.
Considering that e-commerce field is huge (from hosting, domain and website creation to marketing, seo and payment gateway), I would say we did great.
One of the most powerful and useful presentations I have ever seen.
Absolutely one of the best Ted talks, you, sir, are wonderful and so right!
The brain is a beautiful machine, this guy showed a really good strategy on how to use it but it's still up to you to learn whatever you wanna learn. Good luck everyone, i wish all of your dreams to become true!
Thanks... The same to you
NOT TRUTH
Aditya Indoori I feel u, i wish i could just instantly get the knowledge out of a book...but that wouldnt be a challenge now would it lol. That's the future though, when they can install shit in our brains so our brains will be able to access the internet.
Unos de los videos más interesantes y útiles que he visto en Ted. Muchas gracias Mr.
What a talk show !!!
THAT'S MOTIVATING ME TO KEEP LEARNING ENGLISH.
Thank you TEDX TALKS ♥️
Incredibly awesome and encouraging! Thank you so much
What a powerful message. 👏🏻💯
That's amazing . it just relived lot of stress . This is going to be the life long learning . Thank you . Josh kaufman ,You are amazing .
Started watching tedtalks weekly and my life drastically improved from all the things I’ve learned here. I wish teachers in school are like this.
more or less health teachers
Teachers in university are very similar to this actually tbh this reminds me of one the teachers at harvard in the computer science course.
@Aline Azevedo Yup. Schools teach students very little to succeed. Students have to deal with unnecessary and uninterested Assignments. As a school graduate myself, I have no idea how to invest money, save money, do taxes, manage expenses, what to do with my first paycheck, know about life, and things like that😕😔. I don't even know why I went to college for.
@Aline Azevedo thing is, majority of teachers are more concerned about getting passed the curriculum as efficient as possible. I dont blame them that much tho. In america, teachers are just not paid enough. The best teachers tho look outside the box and improve the students foundation with videos like this, and ultimately, become mote efficient at getting through the course.
We needed to learn a little more about life and practical skills at school! The school system is so broken :(
When standing before an urge audience It is difficult to have a dead on speech. This guy nailed it.
I came across Joshes book at my local library the other day and had to nab it, it's just by coincidence that I found this video. He's absolutely spot on though. Everyone thinks they don't have time to do X, but it's because they're usually spending their time doing things that don't help them grow. Feel free to watch an hour of Netflix or binge a show, but just do something productive for 30-60 minutes and make that a reward you get. Being disciplined doesn't mean you can't enjoy those things, in fact, being disciplined means you can enjoy more of those things because now you've created more time.
I fully agree: in 20h or less, we can learn a new thing and be reasonably good at it. - Gemma

Thanks, you to!

@Fadeuka Ivanhoe Thanks a lot
This video reminds me of when I was learning Italian language. I got the most spoken verbs of Italian language on Google and I learned them very well so I could have a basic conversation with Italians. That was the start for me and within a month I could speak the language much better than I thought: it was just like the Pareto rule because I chose the 20% that mattered most to keep a basic conversation.
@Fabio Pancot i agree and i can tell u german is one of the most complicated languages, the grammar is just overwhelming and it doesnt make sense.
Woman is feminine and so you need to use an article/genus which is feminine called 'die' but u need the same article for a banana as well, why? I mean have u ever seen a feminine banana? So first big common issue for german language learnes.
I'm learning hieroglyphics. Any tips?
Bravissimo
Johnny Harris has a video about this.
I am studying on English Interpreting and translation department and it is my first year . I tried to find a job which is suitable my english level , there was one place which I found but after they had evaluated me they said to me "You are not speech as fast as we want (Fluency Speaking) and there are some problems about creating sentence".Then they gave me time until July to develop my speed of speaking and other things . I wasn't sure that I’d be able to do this but after watched tedx videos now I am much more trusting myself about be able to do what they want .
thank you so much for sharing this great advice .. such an amazing strategy to implement for those who aspire to be successful and rise their life quality standards .. well done
What a lovely and informative video ♥️ thank you 😊
Same as the 10,000 hrs rule this rule is applicable for only some skills.
And it all depends on how steep a learning curve for those 20 hrs
But he demonstrated in a way that mastering some new knowledge could be very doable since 10k hrs is a daunting effort.
I'm just fascinated about how incredibly he held this ted talk.
