1
Video games have cheat codes.
2
Up, up, down, down, and suddenly you've got 30 extra lives.
3
Well, after six decades on this planet, I've discovered that life has cheat codes too.
4
It's just that nobody ever hands you the list.
5
So, I made one.
6
I've written seven books about human behavior, raised three children, stayed married for three decades, and made, conservatively, 10,000 mistakes.
7
What survived are 30 cheat codes in five levels.
8
How to decide, how to deal with people, how to get things done, how to work, and how to live.
9
One might require avoiding your relatives.
10
And the most important one, the blast.
11
Let's start the game.
12
Quick note before we start, I cover a lot in this video.
13
So I put all 30 cheat codes on a single page that you can download for free.
14
The link is below.
15
Level one decisions.
16
Code number one.
17
Make your decisions using an ordinary Tuesday, not a fantasy Saturday.
18
When you're choosing a house, a job, a city, any big thing, don't select it based on its best day.
19
Hey, that house has an amazing entertainment space you'll use four times a year.
20
That job comes with a glamorous conference in Lisbon.
21
That sounds great, but what will the commute feel like on a Tuesday?
22
What will you actually be doing on the job at 2.30 on a Tuesday afternoon?
23
What will it feel like to cook in that kitchen on a regular Tuesday night?
24
When I left working in the White House to work for myself, this was the standard I used.
25
Sure, I'd give up a few days each year of extreme excitement, but 51 out of 52 Tuesdays would be better.
26
Code 2.
27
For reversible decisions, decide fast.
28
Don't spend three weeks agonizing over something you can undo in three minutes.
29
Some decisions are one-way doors.
30
Once you walk through, there's no easy return.
31
Those deserve time and care.
32
But most decisions are two-way doors.
33
Take the class, go on the date, accept a brief gig.
34
If it doesn't work, walk back through.
35
Save your agonizing for decisions that actually deserve it.
36
Number three, ask, what would change my mind?
37
If your answer is nothing, you're not thinking, you're defending.
38
Before starting an important project, taking a new job, or moving to a new city, find one smart person who thinks it's a terrible idea.
39
You don't have to obey them, but you do have to hear them.
40
Number four, before deciding what to do, ask what happens if you do nothing.
41
Inaction itself is a decision, one with consequences.
42
But some problems disappear when you stop feeding them.
43
Some conflicts resolve themselves, some opportunities become clearer with time.
44
That's why in certain situations, the best advice isn't don't just stand there and do something, it's don't just do something, stand there.
45
Number five, make lots of small bets.
46
Take risks whose upside could change your life and whose downside won't ruin it.
47
Launch the side project, submit the article, check out the conference, try the idea on a small scale.
48
You don't always find the big thing through one heroic leap.
49
Sometimes you find it through a portfolio of small experiments.
50
of life is shots on goal.
51
And number six, judge decisions by how you made them, not only by how they turned out.
52
A smart decision can produce a bad result.
53
A dumb decision can get lucky. So
54
don't let one good outcome convince you that your process was brilliant
55
and don't let one bad outcome convince you that your process was flawed.
56
Ask, did I use the information available?
57
Did I consider alternatives and did I understand the risks?
58
You don't control the universe, but you do control the decision.
59
Level one, complete.
60
Level two is about people and it opens with the mistake I've made more than any other.
61
Seven, before solving someone's problem, ask what they want from you.
62
Advice, help, or just company.
63
Not every problem somebody tells you about is an invitation to solve it.
64
Yeah, sometimes they want an answer, but many times they just want to be heard.
65
So before going into superhero problem-solving mode, ask.
66
Number eight, assume incompetence before malice.
67
What looks like hostility is often distraction, disorganization, or somebody having a terrible day.
68
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
69
Some people are jerks with bad motives, no question.
70
But the world contains fewer enemies and more overwhelmed people than we think.
71
So begin with the more generous explanation.
72
You can always revise it if the evidence changes.
73
Number nine, notice who asks you questions.
74
Curiosity is an underrated diagnostic for friendship, for romance, for collaboration.
75
So pay attention to who is genuinely curious about you and pay even closer attention to who never is.
76
Number 10, don't keep score in relationships you want to keep.
77
I called last time, I paid for dinner, I helped her move, he still hasn't thanked me, careful.
78
Generosity stops being generosity when you maintain a spreadsheet.
79
Strong relationships become roughly reciprocal over time, but they aren't always equal in every moment.
80
Number 11, build an infrastructure for friendship.
81
Hey, let's get together sometime.
82
That's how people slowly disappear from your life.
83
So make recurring plans with people you care about.
84
A monthly dinner, a Saturday morning walk, a standing phone call.
85
I have a regular gathering with six good friends where we eat, drink, and offer one another advice.
86
Without a recurring date, I suspect we'd see one another twice a year and spend half the evening saying, hey, we should do this more often.
87
And when you do want to see somebody, make a specific invitation.
88
Let's have a beer Thursday at 6 beats let's get together.
89
One is a plan.
90
The other is goodbye in slow motion.
91
Number 12, eliminate toxic people.
92
If someone consistently diminishes you, damages you, or poisons your life, get rid of them.
93
Unfortunately, this includes relatives.
94
Shared DNA isn't a license to treat you poorly.
95
Distance isn't always cruel.
96
Sometimes distance is an act of wisdom.
97
Okay, deep breath.
98
Level three is lighter.
99
It's about actually getting things done.
100
Level three, productivity.
101
Number 13, define done before you begin.
102
Otherwise, every project quietly becomes an infinite undertaking.
103
What will finished look like?
104
Decide that first.
105
And when you're near the end, close to the finish, take a page from Lorne Michaels, the creator of Saturday Night Live.
106
He once said, we don't go on because we're ready.
107
We go on because it's 1130.
108
So many times when I'm writing something or working on a speech or a video, I just say to myself, dude, it's 1130.
109
Number 14, make the first step embarrassingly small.
110
Don't write the book.
111
Write three sentences.
112
Don't get in shape.
113
Put your shoes by the door.
114
Don't organize the house.
115
Clean one drawer.
116
The size of the first step and the odds of taking it are inversely related.
117
Make the first move so small you'd be embarrassed not to do it.
118
Fifteen, let it be easy.
119
Difficulty is not evidence of virtue.
120
Use the rotisserie chicken.
121
Listen to the audiobook.
122
Buy the pre-cut vegetables.
123
Take the shortcut when the shortcut actually works.
124
Somewhere along the way, we absorbed the idea that if something isn't excruciatingly hard, it doesn't count.
125
That's just self-inflicted pain with a superiority complex.
126
Number 16, prepare tomorrow's first move tonight.
127
Make starting so easy that your morning self, who, let's be honest, you cannot trust, has almost no decisions to make.
128
Open the document, set out the running clothes, put the unpleasant task on your calendar with a day, a time, and a place.
129
A few weeks ago, I scheduled clean my top dresser drawer for 2.30 on a Wednesday.
130
And at half past two on that Wednesday, I opened that drawer and removed roughly 47 mismatched socks.
131
I was very proud of myself.
132
Willpower is usually unreliable.
133
Appointments are usually unavoidable.
134
Number 17, keep a waiting for list.
135
I learned this one from David Allen's Getting Things Done.
136
We're usually pretty good at tracking what we need to do, but we're much worse at tracking what other people owe us.
137
The proposal somebody is reviewing, the document somebody promised to send, the answer you need before you can move forward.
138
Write those things down in one place.
139
Otherwise, your brain will keep trying to remember them, usually at three in the morning.
140
Number 18, treat constant busyness as a warning, not a status symbol.
141
When I ask someone, hey, how are you?
142
And they answer, oh, I'm so busy.
143
I become suspicious.
144
Sometimes busyness means your life is full, but sometimes it means you're refusing to make choices.
145
You're ignoring priorities or you're just feeding your own ego.
146
When everything feels urgent, stop adding.
147
Subtract.
148
Cancel something.
149
Decline something.
150
Leave some white space for a walk, a strange book, or an unexpected conversation, or just 15 minutes of staring out the window.
151
Not every square on the calendar needs to produce something.
152
Now, that's the machinery of getting things done, but most of us don't do it along.
153
Level four, work.
154
19, send the recap email.
155
After an important meeting, send a short note.
156
Here's what we decided.
157
Here's who is doing what.
158
Here's when it's due.
159
This helps everybody else.
160
But it also helps you, because translating a conversation into writing forces you to understand what actually happens.
161
Now, AI can help organize that note, but don't let it do all the thinking.
162
The thinking is part of the benefit.
163
Number 20, make your boss's life easier.
164
Here's a lesson from every workplace ever.
165
Bosses divide employees into two categories.
166
People who make my life harder, and people who make my life easier.
167
especially early in your career.
168
Make sure you're in the second category.
169
Understand what your boss is trying to accomplish.
170
Help her achieve her goals.
171
Take useful things off her plate.
172
That's how you become indispensable.
173
Number 21, ask for the deadline, then ask for the real deadline.
174
When do you need this?
175
And when will somebody actually use this?
176
Those are two very different questions.
177
One answer might be Friday.
178
The other might be the board meeting three Thursdays from now.
179
Deadlines matter, but fake deadlines create unnecessary work and unnecessary panic.
180
And once you understand that, you'll get the work done at the right time.
181
And just as important, you won't inflict unnecessary deadlines on other people.
182
Number 22, lead with the request and bring a recommendation.
183
Don't begin an email with seven paragraphs of throat clearing.
184
Tell people what you need.
185
And if you're bringing somebody a problem, try to bring a proposed solution too.
186
Diagnosis is useful, prescription is essential.
187
Instead of, this isn't working, try, this isn't working, here's what I think is causing it, and here's what I recommend we do next.
188
Number 23, get good at something valuable that everybody else avoids.
189
The spreadsheet nobody wants to own, the presentation nobody wants to give, the difficult conversation everybody keeps avoiding.
190
Neglected skills have very little competition, because everyone is fighting for the glamorous territory.
191
But the neglected territory is sitting there, undefended.
192
And number 24, for anybody who leads anybody, don't be the boss you had, be the boss you should have had.
193
Remember what your worst managers did, then do the opposite.
194
Then remember what you desperately needed from them and never got, whether that's clarity, encouragement, honest feedback, or a second chance.
195
Now, go provide that to somebody else.
196
Level four, done.
197
One level left.
198
It's where all of this either adds up to a life or it doesn't.
199
And the code I told you I saved for last is waiting for you at the end.
200
25. Design your environment around your behavior.
201
Store things where you use them, not where they're supposedly meant to go.
202
Keep the medicine near the coffee maker if you take it with breakfast.
203
Put the book on your pillow if you want to read before bed.
204
And embrace strategic duplication.
205
Two chargers, two umbrellas, six pairs of reading glasses.
206
Redundancy beats self-discipline.
207
Number 26, spend money eliminating recurring misery before buying occasional pleasure.
208
Fix the terrible mattress before booking the fancy weekend.
209
Replace the shoes that hurt your feet.
210
Buy the second monitor that makes every workday easier.
211
Pay to remove regular annoyances.
212
The weekend in Antigua lasts three days.
213
The mattress is every night of your year.
214
Number 27, create traditions on purpose.
215
Sunday dinners, birthday breakfast.
216
The same ridiculous photo every Thanksgiving.
217
Rituals turn passing time into a life you can actually remember.
218
In our house, we celebrate every New Year's Day by making something called Lucky Pudding.
219
The tradition began more than 20 years ago almost by accident.
220
Now it has taken on the significance of a sacred religious rite.
221
Don't wait for traditions to form on their own.
222
Build them.
223
Number 28.
224
Stop trying to be normal.
225
Normal is crowded.
226
Conformity is boring.
227
Every interesting person I know is interesting precisely at the spots where they stopped asking, is this normal?
228
And started asking, is this right for me?
229
The parts of you that don't fit may be the parts most worth keeping.
230
Number 29, compete with yourself, not with somebody else.
231
Social comparison is a rigged game.
232
You're comparing their outsides with your insides,
233
their carefully selected victory or curated profile with your entire chaotic, messy, unedited life.
234
So change the opponent.
235
Was I better today than yesterday?
236
Am I better at this than I was six months ago?
237
Did I handle that situation more wisely than I would have before?
238
Don't aim for an Olympic medal in somebody else's event.
239
Aim for a personal best.
240
And the final code, number 30, Avoid unnecessary suffering, accept necessary suffering.
241
Use that rotisserie chicken.
242
Take the shortcut when it works.
243
Eliminate friction that proves nothing.
244
Don't expect achievement, love, creativity, or a meaningful life to cost you nothing.
245
Anything worthwhile will demand effort, discomfort, criticism, uncertainty, and sacrifice.
246
Lots of it.
247
When you encounter those costs, don't automatically assume you're doing something wrong.
248
You might simply be paying the price of admission.
249
Eliminate the suffering that gets you nothing.
250
Accept the suffering that moves you closer to something meaningful.
251
So here they are, 30 cheat codes.
252
Choose for Tuesdays.
253
Give friendship and infrastructure.
254
Get good at something others avoid.
255
Build traditions.
256
And learn which difficulties to remove and which to accept.
257
But cheat codes only work if you enter them.
258
So don't try all 30.
259
Pick two.
260
One that would remove hassle from your life, and one you've been resisting.
261
Use both this week.
262
And because I'm certain I miss them, tell me this.
263
What's one life cheat code you had to learn?
264
Put it in the comments.
265
I read every single one, and that comment section might end up being even more useful than this video.
266
Once again, if you want the whole list in one place, all 30 codes are on that one-page cheat sheet.
267
It's free, the link is below, and it's a lot easier than rewinding this video.
268
Thank you.

نصائح للممارسة
لتعزيز مهاراتك في اللغة الإنجليزية، من المهم استخدام تقنية "shadowing" بفعالية. استمع إلى الحوار في الفيديو بتركيز، وحاول تقليد إيقاع المتحدث وطريقة نطقه. إذا كان التحدث سريعًا، فلا تتردد في إبطاء السرعة عند الحاجة. يمكن أن يساعدك هذا على تحسين النطق باللغة الإنجليزية وفهم المعاني بشكل أفضل.
استخدم موقع "shadowing" لتكرار العبارات بعد سماعها، مع الانتباه إلى الطبقة الصوتية والانسجام في النطق. حاول أن تكون واعيًا لكيفية تشكيل الكلمات والجمل، وكررها بصوت عالٍ. هذه الطريقة ستساعدك على تعزيز ثقتك في التحدث باللغة الإنجليزية.
تذكر أن تتحدى نفسك من خلال تطبيق المفردات الجديدة في محادثاتك اليومية. كما أن تجربة التفكير في كيفية اتخاذ القرارات واستكشاف خيارات مختلفة يمكن أن يعزز من مهاراتك اللغوية. استمتع بعملية التعلم ولا تخف من ارتكاب الأخطاء، فهي جزء من رحلة تحسين مهاراتك.
القواعد في هذا الفيديو
أكثر التراكيب التي يستخدمها المتحدث، مع العبارات نفسها من الفيديو:
| التركيب | في الفيديو |
|---|---|
| المضارع التام have/has + اسم المفعول — حدث ماضٍ ما زال له أثر الآن | I've discovered · I've written · I've made |
| جمل الوصل who / which + جملة — معلومة إضافية عن شخص أو شيء | person who thinks · People who make · anybody who leads |
| المبني للمجهول be + اسم المفعول — التركيز على ما يحدث لا على من يفعله | was flawed · be heard |
ما هي تقنية التظليل الصوتي؟
التظليل الصوتي (Shadowing) تقنية تعلم لغة مدعومة علمياً، طُورت أصلاً لتدريب المترجمين الفوريين المحترفين. الطريقة بسيطة لكنها قوية: تستمع لصوت إنجليزي أصلي وتكرره فوراً بصوت عالٍ — كظل يتبع المتحدث بتأخير 1-2 ثانية. تُظهر الأبحاث تحسناً كبيراً في دقة النطق والتنغيم والإيقاع وربط الأصوات والاستماع والطلاقة.
