What are the skills mentioned in the script that are essential for success and not typically taught in school?

What benefits does meditation offer according to the script?
-Meditation offers numerous benefits, including reshaping the brain to make one smarter and more focused, reducing emotional responses, enhancing creativity, increasing focus and charisma, decreasing social anxiety, improving sleep and mental health, and boosting productivity.
How does meditation help in developing the skill of sitting still and resisting discomfort?
-Meditation helps by requiring individuals to sit still and focus on one thing, resisting the urge to move or give in to distractions. This practice trains the mind to stay focused and endure discomfort, a skill that can be applied to other areas of life, such as working on a business or personal projects.
What is deep journaling and why is it significant for personal growth?
-Deep journaling is the practice of introspection and self-reflection, asking oneself deep questions about problems and situations.

Outlines
🤔 Challenging the Myth of Age and Wisdom
The speaker refutes the common belief that wisdom comes with age, using the example of successful young individuals like Iman Gzi to illustrate that age is not a prerequisite for success. They emphasize that true wisdom is acquired through mastering certain skills, which are not taught in school and are often overlooked. The speaker admits they are not yet successful but is committed to learning and mastering these skills, recognizing the importance of a continuous learning mindset. They also discuss the damaging effects of over-praising children, which can lead to inflated egos and a resistance to learning, as they may feel uncomfortable acknowledging their own inadequacies.
🧘♂️ The Discipline of Meditation and Overcoming Discomfort
This paragraph delves into the importance of meditation as a skill for personal development. The speaker outlines the numerous benefits of meditation, such as improved focus, creativity, and mental health. They also discuss the challenge of sitting still and resisting the urge to move or engage in other activities, which is a skill in itself. The ability to sit still and endure discomfort is likened to the discipline required in entrepreneurship and other areas of life, where one must remain focused despite the urge to give up or seek immediate gratification.
📓 Deep Journaling for Self-Reflection and Growth
The speaker introduces deep journaling as a crucial skill for introspection and self-improvement. They argue that most people fail to reflect on their actions and instead blame external factors for their problems. Deep journaling involves asking oneself probing questions and being honest about one's shortcomings. The speaker provides an example of how an introspective person might analyze a breakup, identifying personal flaws and insecurities that contributed to the relationship's failure. This self-awareness is presented as a key to personal growth and the path to achieving greatness.
💡 Cultivating a Growth Mindset to Overcome Mediocrity
In the final paragraph, the speaker discusses the importance of adopting a growth mindset to break free from the cycle of mediocrity. They argue that limiting beliefs, often ingrained from a young age, prevent individuals from reaching their full potential. The speaker challenges common self-deprecating statements like 'I'm not creative' or 'I'm not smart,' pointing out that these are self-imposed barriers rather than inherent limitations. They advocate for the belief that with dedication and consistent effort, anyone can develop the skills necessary for success, regardless of their natural talents or abilities.

with age you see these people can
achieve greatness at such a very young
age because they Master certain skills
and these skills they act like a barrier
to success and most people don't get
over it now you don't get these skills
taught in school and they're actually
difficult their heart this video isn't
going to be sexy I'm not going to tell
you about the top 10 ways of passive
income streams and Etc bro it's [ __ ]
you need to step off that mindset that
it's going to come quick Etc this video
isn't sexy but it is very important
advice these skills you need to master
to become successful am I successful yet
[ __ ] no and I'm not going to act like it
I pride myself into being a stupid
student I'm still making progress but I
know that these skills are important for
us to master if we want to become
successful because having to learn
something means that you don't know
enough yet and if you don't know enough
yet that means that you're not great
enough now most people and this goes
[ __ ] deep right most people get
raised in a way that everything they do
is praised so oh as a child they make a
drawing and like they show to their
mother and like the mother is like oh my
God sweetie that's so beautiful and they
hang it on the [ __ ] wall let's be
honest the drawing was probably [ __ ] and
of course most people they don't know
that they're doing this they don't know
that they're ruining their child but
they are you see I got a [ __ ]
participating trophy when I was like 8
years old I think participating in a
judo tournament I lost all of my matches
but I still got a trophy I got the same
trophy as the winners and I was like to
my mother I don't want this trophy I
didn't earn it he did why do I have the
same trophy like they're trying to raise
children in a different way by giving
them these [ __ ] partisan pimp trophies
and because of their childhood because
the way they were raised most people
think they're great most people have
this ego because all of their lives
everyone their family Etc has told them
that they were great and they have
praised them for everything that they
did they pick up an instrument oh my God
Johnny you're so musically Talent no no
he isn't so you shouldn't be saying that
but because of that Johnny has a [ __ ]
ego and now Johnny doesn't want to learn
because it's
uncomfortable looking at yourself and
knowing that you're not great enough
it's uncomfortable having to learn
having another man maybe even younger
than you having that person teach you
something because it breaks their ego so
you need to develop a student mindset
you need to learn for your whole life
learning is something beautiful but it
begins by overcoming your ego and
arrogance that's a skill you need to
have for the rest of your life the next
skill you need to master is meditation
and it's the skill of sitting still and
resisting so when look meditation has a
lot of benefits right I don't need to go
over them well you probably don't know
them I'll go over them very quickly
it reshapes your brain makes you smarter
more focused makes you less emotional so
being able to reason better makes you
more creative increases your focus
increases your charisma by making you
more present decreases your social
anxiety lets you sleep better makes your
mental health better which makes you
more productive all right all right so
meditation important right but what most
people don't talk about is that when
meditating what you're actually just
doing is sitting still and focusing on
one thing but when meditating you will
have an itch to scratch now maybe even
physical but you will experience this
kind of nervousness that you have the
desire to stand up that it's boring and
oh it takes so long and you want to be
doing something else because you're not
used to just sitting still and focusing
on one thing but when you successfully
meditate you resist that
scratch you you resist the urge to
scratch that itch and so you develop the
skill of being able to sit still and go
through something uncomfortable for a
longer period of time and so when you
master the skill of meditation the skill
of sitting still and going through that
when working you will experience that
same itch when focusing on your business
being an entrepreneur like I am now I
could have like the urge to stand up and
to just quit this video but I won't
because I've been meditating for so long
that I'm used to it that's a very
important skill the third skill you need
to master is that one of deep journaling
it's a skill of being
introspective and reflecting most people
can be honest with themselves so what
most people will do and why they are
[ __ ] stupid broke and will die alone
but
anyways is because they never and I mean
never reflect inwards they always blame
the outside world now what is deep
journaling it's asking yourself deep
questions and reflecting on Problems by
being introspective say you got into a
fight with your girlfriend right and she
broke up with you like ah damn or she
doesn't want to talk to you anyways
you're in that sit situation most
unsuccessful broke poor stupid lazy
people mediocre people will say oh she's
a [ __ ] bro like to their friends oh
she's a [ __ ] [ __ ] bro yeah oh she's
always going out with other men and oh
she ain't worth [ __ ] Bro now an extreme
philosopher who has developed the skill
of being introspective and reflecting
will ask himself the question why why
did we get into this fight well we got
into to the fight because she is sick of
me being super controlling and that I'm
always jealous is that true yes I don't
allow her to do nothing and I lash out
to her when she talks to another
man why am I so jealous all the time why
am I so
controlling because I'm
insecure why am I
insecure because I don't believe that
she is in my league I believe that she
is above me and that if I lose her I
won't ever get a girlfriend of her value
and I'm afraid when she talks to other
men because I believe that they're more
handsome than me and that they're
greater than me and that she will notice
and see that I am actually not that
great and will leave me for another man
[Music]
bro all of a sudden like can you imagine
that you have that skill of honesty that
you are that you can be so reflective
with yourself that you can be so [ __ ]
honest with yourself that's how you
Propel
forward like if you can genuinely do
that most people won't ever be able to
do that cuz yet again ego they're too
arrogant they believe they're the
greatest because oh little Johnny oh
you're so good in music oh no you're
[ __ ] [ __ ] bro you're [ __ ] stop
blaming everything on the outside world
that's how an extreme philosopher
reflects that's deep journaling asking
yourself deep questions and being
actually honest with yourself if you can
do that you will Propel forward you will
achieve greatness the last skill you
need to master my friends is that one of
having a growth mindset challenging the
beliefs that you have you see you have
been born into mediocrity and that's why
you have been programmed by the mediocre
beliefs to stay in mediocrity you see no
one is actually physically holding you
back from achieving greatness no one is
physically like chaining you to a wall
That's preventing you from doing 100
push-ups a day to get in great shape no
one is preventing you physically like
grabbing you by the throat of reading a
book A Week working every single day on
your
business what's holding you back are the
wrong beliefs in your mind because all
your life you've been in
mediocrity and you hear these dangerous
these horrible sentences that people
speak around you that program your mind
what do I mean by those sentences oh I I
am not
creative oh I am not that
smart no I couldn't do that because I am
not that way oh they're so disciplined I
am not disciplined you see people they
always subconsciously without even
knowing label themselves certain ways I
am not creative so I could never do that
or I am not that physically strong yeah
no [ __ ] you're not no [ __ ] because
you've never [ __ ] worked oh you're
not great at writing you're not creative
have you written a book before have you
tried writing before have you put in the
hours to develop the skill of
writing oh I'm not creative have you
challenged your creativity have you
tried being creative of course you
haven't so why the [ __ ] are you telling
yourself you're not creative of of
course
you it's so it's so simple bro it's so
stupid that people will say these
sentences label thems a certain way and
it's a self-fulfilling prophecy oh I'm
not intelligence I'm bad at
math bro you're a [ __ ] [ __ ] that's
what you are I'm B at math how about you
fix that how about you do two hours of
math problems a day will you then still
be bad at math naturally shut the [ __ ]
up bro having a growth mindset is
believing that you can do
anything but it stems from the belief
that you can make progress that's the
most important thing here people who
achieve
greatness were they born with those
skills say a Pianist like a [ __ ]
monster of a pist right the best pianist
that's out there however you imagine it
was he born with those skills was he
born with the technical skills of
playing the piano no okay so that means
he learned that
right then why the [ __ ] are you telling
yourself that you couldn't ever do that
he wasn't born that way you know he put
in the hours and that's why he is able
to do that oh but I'm not that
creative he has played 20 ,000 hours of
music that's why he's creative in music
you have played exactly zero then how
the [ __ ] do you expect to be as creative
as him it's not about being born a
certain way bro you know I've I I read a
book and that actually explained it very
good to make it in the
NBA you need to be tall
enough you need to be over like a
certain height that's true that's your
genetics all right I'll admit that but
once you're tall enough being
taller actually doesn't make that much
of a difference like the difference
between 2 m and 2 m and 7
cm those 7 cm they not going to make the
difference whether or not you become the
best one you need to be smart enough but
you're watching this video that means
that you learn the language to
understand these words well you're smart
enough to watch it until the
end that means you're smart enough bro
it's like you need to be smart enough
but after that those IQ points they're
not going to make the difference the
work you put in is going to make the
difference I'm spending a lot of time on
this point because it's [ __ ]
important bro don't let this mediocre
mindset convince you of I'm not great
enough I wasn't born this way so I will
never become this way yeah sure bro you
keep believing that and you end up dying
in a [ __ ] ditch
lonely I'll improve myself I'll keep
putting in the work and when I get
successful which I will become people
will say oh you know he has always had
it no go look back a year ago on my
channel like And subscribe right now if
you learned something in this video I
want you to take action on this I really
do I want you to make progress because
it saddens me bro seeing like
40-year-old men with 15 vacation days a
year living the life they didn't set out
to want to
live that that sentence didn't make
sense discipline is the ultimate form of
self love
