You asked me if an ordinary person, by studying hard, would get to be able to imagine these things like I imagined.

Of course, I was an ordinary person who studied hard.

There's no miracle people.

It just happens they got interested in this thing and they learned all this stuff.

They're just people.

There's no talent, a special miracle ability to understand quantum mechanics

or a miracle ability to imagine electromagnetic fields that comes without practice and reading and learning and study.

So if you say you take an ordinary person who's willing to devote a great deal of time

and study and work and thinking and mathematics and time, then he's become a scientist.

There is a small subset of the people that can be very happy being obsessive about things.

And obsession can often get things done that just practical, prudent, pedestrian work won't or at least won't for a very long time.

But I do think that great things require a lot of hard work.

So there's no way you can expect to change the world without working really hard.

By the way, even changing the world, the folks that I respect the most have nudged the world in like a slight direction,

slight, very, very slight.

I think to have great outcomes, you actually do need to work at like three standard deviations above the mean.

But when I read about companies going to like four day work weeks and stuff, I just like, I chuckle because I can't get enough done with a seven day week.

I don't know how, and people will say, oh, you're just not working smart.

And it's like, no, I work pretty smart, I think in general.

And I think the focus should be more like how much you do.

So I am kind of like believer on a high level

in this 10,000 hours kind of concept where you just kind

of have to just pick the things where you can spend time and you care about and you're interested in.

You literally have to put in 10,000 hours of work.

It doesn't even matter as much like where you put it.

And you'll iterate and you'll improve and you'll waste some time.

I don't know if there's a better way.

You need to put in 10,000 hours.

But I think it's actually really nice

because I feel like there's some sense of determinism about being an expert at a thing if you spend 10,000 hours.

You can literally pick an arbitrary thing, and I think if you spend 10,000 hours of deliberate effort and work, you actually will become an expert at it.

And so I think that's kind of like a nice thought.

And so basically I would focus more on like, are you spending 10,000 hours?

One other thing

that I think is helpful for the psychology of it is many times people compare themselves to others in the area.

I think it's very harmful.

only compare yourself to you from some time ago, like say a year ago.

Are you better than you a year ago?

It's the only way to think.

And I think this, then you can see your progress and it's very motivating.

You will waste time doing something wrong.

You will eventually figure out it's not right.

You will accumulate scar tissue and next time you'll grow stronger.

Because next time you'll have the scar tissue and next time you'll learn from it.

And now next time you come to a similar situation, you'll be like, Oh, I messed up.

I've spent a lot of time working on things that never materialize into anything materialize into anything.

And I have all that scar tissue and I have some intuitions about what was useful, what wasn't useful, how things turned out.

So all those mistakes were not dead work.

So I just think, did you just focus on working?

What have you done?

What have you done last week?

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
