1
When I was younger, I was convinced that everyone else was more privileged than me, and I could find a thousand examples to prove that.
2
The looks they were born with, the family and connections they had, the country they were born in, the travel opportunities they got to experience.
3
I always felt like I had to work twice as hard just to catch up, like the whole world just felt super unfair.
4
I don't see it that way anymore, because here's what I've realized.
5
I have unfair advantages too.
6
We all do.
7
Every single one of us does.
8
We just often can't really see them because the things that are truly your advantage feel too easy to even count.
9
So in today's video, I'm going to show you the five places your unfair advantages come from
10
and how to actually find yours.
11
Not so you can grind harder than everyone else, but so you can build a truly fulfilling life by focusing on the things
12
that come easily to you through enjoyment, not suffering.
13
Hi guys, if you're new here, welcome.
14
My name is Veronica and on this channel I help you slow down, regulate your nervous system and reconnect with your true goals and values.
15
Before we get into it, I actually made something for you to use in today's video.
16
It's a printable worksheet with all of the exercises we're about to go through, So you can sit down and actually do all of those things with me,
17
instead of just watching and forgetting everything by tomorrow.
18
If you want to work through it together and build your unfair advantages, you can get the worksheet completely for free.
19
The link is going to be in the description.
20
Alright, so let's begin and talk about what an unfair advantage actually is.
21
Because I really want to lower the bar so that we don't disqualify ourselves immediately.
22
because I know a lot of us might be thinking, I don't really have any unfair advantages.
23
I don't really have any special traits or unique qualities.
24
So that's that.
25
And I don't want you to do that.
26
I don't want you to disqualify yourself immediately because the thing is an unfair advantage isn't something rare on a global level.
27
It's just anything that makes a goal easier for you than the average person.
28
That's it.
29
It doesn't have to be one in a million.
30
It just has to be truly yours.
31
Now, I think a lot of us might also be thinking that your unfair advantage always feels easy.
32
You know, it's just something that you do that always feels super easy.
33
Like there's never any friction.
34
But I personally don't think it's like completely 100% true.
35
Let me use my own example.
36
I'm not a native English speaker
37
and I spent years learning English to a point where now I make videos in English for a living.
38
And here's the thing, learning English was never frictionless for me.
39
It was hard and honestly it's still hard.
40
Like recording these videos for you guys, it feels definitely harder doing it in English than if I was sitting here and recording everything in my native language.
41
The friction is real and it's still there.
42
For example, a lot of people when they record YouTube videos, they can sit down and batch make two, three, four videos in a row.
43
In my case, I can't do that.
44
I can only record one video and that's it.
45
Because after talking for an hour, and usually takes me around an hour to record just one video, my brain feels absolutely fried.
46
Like, I feel so freaking tired.
47
So it's not that I feel less friction than all the other language learners.
48
I probably feel the same friction anyone would when they're speaking a foreign language on camera.
49
It's just the difference is that my desire to do it is higher than the friction.
50
And that's the key.
51
My curiosity, my enjoyment, my pull towards this thing,
52
it's way higher than any resistance or any friction I might be experiencing.
53
Yes, it's hard.
54
Sometimes I repeat myself multiple times, I do multiple takes, but I like it.
55
I like doing what I do.
56
And yes, there is some friction involved because it's a hard thing
57
and all hard things in life come with some sort of friction.
58
That's normal.
59
So where someone else hits that friction and stops, I hit the same friction but I keep going.
60
And that is what an unfair advantage actually is.
61
It's not the absence of difficulty.
62
Everything in life comes with friction.
63
It's just for this one specific thing, your desire to continue doing it outweighs all the friction.
64
The thing actually pulls you forward rather than pushing you back.
65
So that is what I actually want you to look for.
66
Not your most impressive achievement, but the thing where even though it's hard, you still want to come back to it.
67
There's a very interesting concept I want to share with you now.
68
It comes from a book, The Defining Decade by Meg Jay, and the term is identity capital.
69
Identity capital is basically a collection of things you've invested in that become a part of who you are.
70
Your skills, your experiences, the way you have shaped yourself over time.
71
It's pretty much everything you bring to the table.
72
And here's the difference between an unfair advantage and your identity capital.
73
An unfair advantage is the raw material you start with.
74
Identity capital is what you build when you invest in that raw material over time.
75
So we can say that on its own, an unfair advantage is just your potential.
76
Identity capital is what it becomes when you actually do something with it.
77
So that is why in the rest of the video, I want to talk about how to find that raw material.
78
How to find your unfair advantages and turn them into your identity capital over time.
79
Because every unfair advantage you have comes from one, I really hope you can see it,
80
one out of these five buckets or these five places.
81
So let's find yours in each one.
82
So the first bucket is your story, where you come from, the languages you speak, what you have lived through, and who you have already been.
83
I think this is the most overlooked one out of five because
84
a lot of us often assume that our life is just boring.
85
Like there's nothing special, there's nothing unique, I don't have any unfair advantages.
86
And we also think
87
that only those people who are born into more privileged circumstances have something interesting going on about their lives.
88
Only they can find those unfair advantages in the story of their lives, like in the very first bucket.
89
But that is absolutely not true.
90
Because your life is a specific combination that no one else has.
91
And that combination is often a very interesting thing about you.
92
Let's think about my story for a second.
93
I was born in a very small town in Russia and pretty much up until I was 12,
94
my family and I lived in a very small livage in the countryside with my grandparents.
95
I did gymnastics from the age of four up until I was a teenager, so for many, many years of my life.
96
I speak English really well right now because when I was a teenager,
97
I started watching a lot of American YouTubers and that is how I got passionate about English and in general about YouTube.
98
I speak Spanish now as well.
99
I majored in Chinese in college.
100
I moved abroad at 22 and I've been working on my social media presence on different social media accounts since 2020,
101
so for six years now.
102
To me, all of this is just my life.
103
But if we really think about it, we can already find a lot of unfair advantages in there, inside my story.
104
And I can choose whether or not I can go deeper on those unfair advantages
105
and turn them into my identity capital over time.
106
This is the exact combination that no one else can copy, because that's my life and it shapes everything I create.
107
So the question that I want you to ask yourself, you can journal about it, when you're looking at your story is this.
108
What feels boring about your past but others find interesting?
109
Alright, so the second bucket is your wiring.
110
It's all the things that come effortlessly to you that cost other people more effort.
111
Like you can visibly see that things
112
that basically come naturally to you i think these things are very hard to spot
113
because oftentimes we don't really think it's like anything special
114
because we don't experience a lot of friction
115
when we do those things especially compared to other people
116
so here's how you can actually find it ask people who
117
are closest to you one two three people who you talk
118
to every single day ask them what they think you're naturally good at the pattern
119
that you can notice in their answers is pretty much your wiring.
120
It's your second bucket.
121
I think it's almost always something that you would have never written down yourself,
122
but it's really nice when like other people notice those things and they can highlight them for you.
123
They can make them more visible for you.
124
And you know, I actually did that before making this video.
125
I talked to my husband and I asked him this question and he mentioned a lot of very interesting things.
126
And one thing he said is that I am naturally very organized, you know, the way I plan things, the way I organize my environment,
127
the way I like to do that, right?
128
Like I'm not doing it because somebody made me declutter my house.
129
It's just something that I truly love to do.
130
I love decluttering, I love cleaning, and I love organizing.
131
And that skill helps me so much in my work, in my career.
132
It helps me organize my time, you know, my videos, my projects, especially because I work for myself.
133
And so I really need this skill in my work.
134
There's another very interesting thing that my husband highlighted for me.
135
It's a bias for action.
136
It's basically this tendency that some people have to just go and do the thing instead of waiting forever.
137
Most people have the idea and then they wait for a very long time because they feel like they're never ready.
138
They do the research, they prepare over and over again.
139
I would say they over prepare.
140
They wait for the perfect moment, for the perfect moment that doesn't really exist.
141
But people who have this bias for action just start.
142
I want to do something, I go and do it.
143
And if you're a person who has that bias for action, that can be a huge unfair advantage on its own.
144
And I honestly wasn't always like that.
145
You guys know that for many years of my life I wanted to start my own YouTube channel
146
and when I recorded my very first video I never actually published it because I was too scared.
147
I felt like I wasn't ready and I waited for at least another year, maybe two, to actually be like,
148
okay, Veronica, I think you just have to start.
149
You know, you want to do something?
150
Just start posting.
151
And so only two years later, I was able to start posting regularly and consistently.
152
So I think this bias for action is definitely a skill that we can learn.
153
Alright, so the question in your wiring, in your second bucket that you can ask yourself is,
154
what do you do without trying that others wish they could?
155
Your bucket number three is your obsessions.
156
The things you would learn about even if no one paid you.
157
Basically where your attention goes for free.
158
You're just genuinely curious.
159
That's why you go and learn that thing.
160
I think this one is the enjoyment and not suffering idea in its purest form.
161
Time you spend willingly on something compounds in a way that no other forced time ever could.
162
You know, when you're forcing yourself to do something, you will eventually quit.
163
Whereas if you truly deeply love something, you will continue doing that for many years and all of that experience,
164
all of those skills will definitely compound over time.
165
Your obsessions are basically the prepaid effort.
166
You're doing it anyways just because you love it.
167
So why not point that in the right direction?
168
For me, my obsessions, the things that I wrote down are reading neuroscience research.
169
Like I can read very complicated books about your prefrontal cortex, your amygdala, and I'm not going to feel like I'm falling asleep.
170
I'm not going to feel like it's boring because I'm genuinely interested in it.
171
Things about nervous system regulation, habit formation, dopamine, taking courses on how to do a handstand
172
and improving and practicing my handstands and you know making my technique better and better over time.
173
Reading about nutrition research and it's really funny to me
174
because I have all of this list of all of my obsessions right here
175
and none of the things mentioned in my list are the things that I studied when I was in college.
176
And I think the reason why that happened was because when I went to college, I was 17.
177
And to be honest, I didn't really know what I wanted to do.
178
Like, if somebody asked me, what did you want to do for work?
179
I would be like, I don't really know.
180
Maybe this or maybe that.
181
What makes me so happy is realizing that now with time, I was able to discover my obsessions,
182
the things that I truly deeply love.
183
The things that I left to study.
184
And now I can focus more
185
and more of my time to learn more things about neuroscience
186
and nutrition and nervous system regulation and lean more into those things.
187
So the question
188
that you can ask yourself here to find your obsessions is what do you keep coming back to even
189
when you're tired just because you truly love it?
190
Okay, so bucket number four is your position.
191
It's who you already are, where you live, the rooms you're already standing in, the timing.
192
And I think when you hear your position, you might think, okay, it means networking.
193
And I don't mean networking in this transactional way.
194
What I mean is honestly noticing the axis that you already have
195
and stopping the habit of pretending like you're starting from zero.
196
Because a lot of us don't really notice what's already around us and, you know, a lot of things that are already around us can be our unfair advantages.
197
Where you live can be an advantage.
198
A niche that's growing right now.
199
A skill the world suddenly needs.
200
That's an advantage of timing that you didn't earn but can absolutely use.
201
An audience or a community that already trusts you.
202
That is your position too.
203
And so the question you can ask yourself to find your fourth bucket,
204
your position, is what do you have access to right now?
205
People, places, a moment in time that you're not using.
206
And finally, your bucket number five is your reps.
207
This one is honestly my favorite one because that's the unfair advantage anyone can build with enough time, with enough repetition.
208
If you show up at one thing daily for longer than most people are willing to.
209
And this is pretty much the bridge between the advantages you were handed and the advantages you can build.
210
And it works so well because almost no one else does it.
211
And the bias for action that I mentioned at the beginning of the video is really important here as well.
212
Reps are what happens when you pair the willingness to start with your decision to keep going.
213
Starting in itself is really rare.
214
I talk about this all the time on my YouTube channel
215
that a lot of us are really scared to start because it's too hard, it's too complicated, so we don't want to do it.
216
But continuing is even rarer.
217
Building that consistency is even rarer.
218
You just have to keep showing up after most people have already quit.
219
And I think this is the example I'm living through with my YouTube journey.
220
Because I started my very first channel in 2020.
221
Now that channel has over a million subscribers, but I don't post there anymore.
222
I'm currently growing this YouTube channel and there were so many moments in my life,
223
you know, and it's still happening right now when like my videos are not getting views,
224
my videos are not performing well and I feel so many emotions because of that.
225
Like I don't know if I should continue recording videos, I don't know if it's the right path for me.
226
I really have to practice my emotional regulation in those moments.
227
But also if I think about it, all of that experience that I have built,
228
all of my reps are the experience that I can share with people.
229
Especially people who are non-native speakers of English and let's say you want to start your own YouTube channel,
230
you want to record videos in English and I completely understand how you feel because that's what I do,
231
you know, that's who I am and that's what I do.
232
But no matter how hard it feels sometimes and how much friction I experience, I still want to keep going.
233
I'm still willing to put in the reps.
234
For example, today you guys can probably see, if you're still watching this video, that my lighting has already changed because I think it's going to rain
235
and I do rely on natural lighting when I record and
236
so yes I could be like I'm gonna stop I'm not gonna record anything today
237
because the weather isn't great it's a helicopter too there's a
238
helicopter it's raining there's also a concert that's gonna happen right outside of my window
239
and sometimes they're doing sound testing a lot of things
240
that I have to work with you know regulate my emotions through this journey.
241
All right, so the question
242
that you can ask yourself here to find out all of your unfair advantages
243
when it comes to your reps is this one.
244
What's one thing you could do a little of every day for a year
245
that almost no one around you is willing to do?
246
All right, guys, so something that I really want to highlight right now is
247
that you don't need to grind yourself to the ground to build a satisfying life.
248
You can stack the things that already work for you, your unfair advantages.
249
Point them at something you actually care about and stay consistent
250
so that those unfair advantages turn into your identity capital over time.
251
And using your unfair advantages doesn't mean you're cheating.
252
Easier doesn't always mean lazy.
253
Your effort is just pointed in the right direction to everyone else around you,
254
to your ego, that you can suffer your way through something you absolutely hate.
255
So I think it's going to be it for today's video.
256
If you liked it, please don't forget to give it a thumbs up and subscribe to my YouTube channel.
257
If you want to get my free worksheet to discover your own unfair advantages and look at all of these five buckets,
258
you can do so by clicking in the description.
259
The link is going to be there and I will send you an email with all of the information.
260
If you're thinking about what to watch next, I highly recommend checking out this video right here where I share a few things
261
that I quit that help me heal my overstimulated brain.
262
So I'll see you there or I'll see you in my next video.
263
Thank you so much.
264

- /v/ और /w/ का फ़र्क़ — /v/ में ऊपर के दाँत निचले होंठ को छूते हैं, /w/ में होंठ गोल होते हैं: disqualify /dɪsˈkwɔləfaɪ/, privilege /ˈpɹɪv.(ɪ.)lɪd͡ʒ/, outweigh /ˌaʊtˈweɪ/, visibly /ˈvɪz.ə.bli/, overlook /ˈoʊ.vɚˌlʊk/
- /z/ — इसे “ज” (/dʒ/) न बनाएँ: organize /ˈɔɹɡənaɪz/, oftentimes /ˈɔf.ənˌtaɪmz/, transactional /trænˈzækʃ(ə)nəl/, visibly /ˈvɪz.ə.bli/, anyways /ˈɛn.iˌweɪz/
- शब्द की शुरुआत में s + व्यंजन — पहले “इ” न जोड़ें: scare /skɛɚ/, stack /stæk/
इस वीडियो से अभ्यास कैसे करें
- पहले बिना बोले पूरा वीडियो एक बार सुनें और जो शब्द नहीं आते उन्हें लिख लें।
- 0.75× गति से शुरू करें, एक-एक वाक्य की शैडोइंग करें, और सहज लगने पर सामान्य गति पर लौटें।
- अपनी आवाज़ रिकॉर्ड करें और मूल से तुलना करें, ख़ासकर friction, bucket, bias जैसे शब्दों पर ध्यान दें।
शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?
शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
