🎓 Aprendizaje y la barrera de la verdad

Este párrafo explora la emoción inicial de aprender algo nuevo y cómo se enfrenta a la realidad de la complejidad del conocimiento. Se menciona que, a pesar de tomar cursos gratuitos y aprender tecnologías como Javascript o HTML, eventualmente se encuentra con la 'barrera de la verdad', donde se topa con habilidades que no puede dominar, como Git para muchos programadores. La sección también hace referencia a la innovación como resultado del descubrimiento de formas más fáciles de hacer las cosas, como los ascensores y los controles remotos, y enfatiza la importancia de usar el descuido como palanca para lograr más con menos esfuerzo.

05:03

🏃‍♂️ La importancia de elegir el camino menos transitado

El párrafo aborda la filosofía de tomar decisiones que requieren más esfuerzo pero que pueden llevar a resultados más significativos. Se compara con la idea de la 'senda de menor resistencia', donde la gente tiende a seguir lo que es más fácil, pero que a menudo no lleva a la transformación. Se discute la importancia de alejarse de la estabilidad y del confort para crecer, y se enfatiza la idea de disfrutar de la incertidumbre y la inestabilidad como motores de crecimiento personal.

Keywords

💡Aprender

El acto de adquirir conocimientos, habilidades o información. En el video, el aprendizaje es presentado como una emoción inicial llena de entusiasmo que puede encontrarse con desafíos a medida que la complejidad del conocimiento se revela. Se menciona que el aprendizaje de cosas nuevas, como programación o economía, puede ser emocionante al principio, pero luego se enfrenta a la 'pared de verdad', donde se reconoce la dificultad de dominar ciertas habilidades.

💡Pared de verdad

Una metáfora utilizada para describir el punto en el que se reconoce la complejidad de una habilidad o conocimiento que parece resistirse a ser dominada. En el guion, se menciona que muchos programadores encuentran esta 'pared' con herramientas como Git, a pesar de haber tomado cursos que deberían facilitar su aprendizaje.

💡Laziness (holgazanería)

El estado de no querer trabajar o esforzarse. Sin embargo, el video argumenta que la holgazanería a menudo da lugar a la innovación, como los ascensores y los controles remotos, y que cuando se utiliza correctamente, es decir, buscando lograr más con menos esfuerzo, puede ser constructiva.

💡Innovación

El proceso de introducir nuevos métodos, ideas o productos. El video sugiere que la holgazanería puede ser la madre de la innovación, citando ejemplos como los ascensores y los controles remotos, que surgieron porque las personas buscaron formas más fáciles de hacer cosas.

💡Competencia

La situación en la que varias personas o grupos buscan el mismo objetivo o reconocimiento. El video enfatiza la importancia de rodearse de personas que te motiven a competir y a trabajar duro, lo que a su vez te impulsa a crecer y superar tus límites.

💡Talentoso

Tener habilidades naturales o innatas que se pueden desarrollar y mejorar. A lo largo del video, se argumenta que es mejor ser talentoso que tener suerte, ya que la suerte eventualmente llega a todos, pero si no tienes el talento para aprovecharla, es inútil.

💡Ritmo

Un patrón regular de actividad o descanso. El video sugiere que encontrar un ritmo en el aprendizaje y el trabajo es crucial para mantener la disciplina y el progreso. Se menciona que es mejor hacer un poco de lo que se quiere todos los días en lugar de intentar hacer mucho de él de vez en cuando.

💡Disciplina

El control de uno mismo y la capacidad para seguir reglas o patrones de comportamiento. El video discute cómo la disciplina se puede desarrollar a través de la creación de un ritmo en las actividades diarias, lo que a su vez ayuda a superar la holgazanería y a alcanzar metas a largo plazo.

💡Percepción de riesgos

La manera en que una persona evalúa y responde a situaciones potencialmente peligrosas o inciertas. El video argumenta que disfrutar de la incertidumbre y el riesgo es esencial para el crecimiento personal y profesional, ya que permite a las personas tomar caminos menos traveled y encontrar oportunidades que otros pueden haber pasado por alto.

💡80/20 regla

También conocida como el principio de la eficiencia de Pareto, esta regla sugiere que en muchos casos, aproximadamente el 80% de los resultados vienen de un 20% de los esfuerzos. El video lo utiliza para enfatizar la importancia de enfocarse en las actividades que tienen el mayor impacto y dejar de lado aquellas que no generan valor significativo.

💡Perdonarse a uno mismo

El acto de excusarse a uno mismo por errores pasados o fracasos. El video subraya la importancia de perdonarse a uno mismo después de fracasar, ya que es una forma de superar el estancamiento y el miedo al fracaso, y motivarse a seguir intentándolo.

Highlights

El entusiasmo por aprender algo nuevo es una emoción increíble.

La complejidad del conocimiento y las múltiples tecnologías y requisitos pueden hacer que nos sintamos abrumados.

La 'pared de verdad' es cuando encontramos una habilidad que, a pesar de esforzarnos, no podemos dominar.

Algunos programadores nunca superan las habilidades básicas de Git a pesar de haber tomado cursos.

La elasticidad de la demanda y la historia del dinero son ejemplos de conceptos económicos complejos.

Las paredes y obstáculos en el aprendizaje pueden hacernos cuestionar el propósito del aprendizaje.

El descuido a menudo da lugar a la innovación, como los escaleras mecánicas y los controles remotos.

El descuido bien utilizado es un palanca para lograr más con menos esfuerzo.

Rodearse de personas que te obliguen a competir y a trabajar duro es una forma efectiva de combatir el descuido.

Ser el promedio de las personas que te rodean es crucial para el crecimiento personal.

El ejemplo de Christian Van Der Henst, un competidor que impulsó el crecimiento del discurso.

El 'camino de menor resistencia' es una metáfora para explicar por qué a veces tomamos decisiones que nos llevan a la captura o al fracaso.

Elegir el camino menos transitado puede llevarnos a menos competencia y a competidores más valiosos.

Disfrutar la incertidumbre es fundamental para el crecimiento y la superación del miedo al cambio.

Es mejor ser talentoso que afortunado, ya que la suerte eventualmente llega, pero sin talento, no se aprovecha.

Perdonarse a uno mismo y tratar de nuevo es esencial después de fracasar en el aprendizaje o en el intento de lograr algo.

La sociedad a menudo castiga a quienes fallan en sus intentos, pero es importante superar este estigma.

Paul Buchheit, creador de Gmail, enseñó que se debe enfocarse en las actividades que generan el 80% de los resultados.

Evitar la mediocridad mental y no permitir que la mente justifique la inacción o el camino de menor resistencia.

Trabajar inteligentemente es más efectivo que trabajar duro, y en Latinoamérica se debe enfocarse en aumentar el valor del tiempo trabajando de manera más inteligente.

Todos los personas exitosas trabajan muy duro, excepto aquellos que heredaron su éxito.

Mantener un ritmo en el aprendizaje y no perder la disciplina es fundamental para el éxito a largo plazo.

Aprender a perdonarse y compararse solo con uno mismo es la clave para superar el fracaso y el descuido.

Transcripts

There's nothing like the thrill of wanting to learn something new.

You probably took Platzi's basic programming course

which is free and you discovered Javascript or HTML.

Sometimes it's other things, but when you start learning something

you are just full of an amazing emotion

to learn new things, like something internally makes us want to know more.

and then we start to know more and we crash

against the wall of how complex knowledge really is,

that there are other technologies, there are other requirements,

that there are other things that you never imagined

and eventually we run into the wall of truth.

The wall of truth is when we find a skill

that no matter how hard we try we cannot dominate.

For many programmers it is Git for example,

and it does not matter if they took the Git and Github course which makes it much easier,

it is still hard for them sometimes.

There are programmers who despite a lifetime working in software development,

never exceed minimum junior skills

of doing push, pull and commit, it's hard, it's heavy.

There are people who learn Git in depth of course,

but this is just an example of what happens with other abilities.

It also happens in economics,

when you start to understand the elasticity curves of market demand market demand

and suddenly you crash

with incredibly complex the history of money is,

or public markets, or synthetic goods.

The same happens in any other disciplines.

Those walls, those obstacles generate this sensation of

"What am I learning for", and that's what we're going to talk about today.

Today we're going to talk about how to get rid of laziness,

the laziness of studying, the brake of learning.

Starting with a thought that I think is very important

to say out loud because sometimes we forget.

Laziness sometimes gives birth to innovation, of course it does.

Escalators exist because we are lazy to climb stairs,

remote controls created a whole revolution in entertainment and innovation revolution,

because we are too lazy to stand up to change the channel,

audiobooks gave way to the most incredible explosion

of podcasts, and of audio-based content revolution

because many people were lazy to read

Laziness works when it is used as a lever,

when you are achieving with the least amount of effort

lift and generate the most results. amount of results.

That's what at the end of the day is laziness well used,

but misused it becomes a ballast, it becomes an anchor

that ties us to the place where we are and prevents us from growing.

There are ways to get rid of laziness laziness, the most effective is

surrounding yourself with people who force you to compete, to force you to work hard.

That's the reason why it's so important not to surround yourself with mediocre people in your life,

because you are the average of the people around you,

and if the people around you make you feel bad for working hard and studying,

they say to you: "Why do you believe in that, what we should do is go get drunk every day."

Well, that's what you're going to do. But instead when you surround yourself with amazing people

who make you really want to grow with energy and strength, you grow.

I for example have a lot to thank Christian for.

Christian Van Der Henst for a decade he was my strongest competitor.

He was the person who was constantly innovating in a different way than I was.

and doing things that were forcing me out of my comfort zone.

If someone like Christian hadn't existed, I would probably still be

in the neighborhood where I grew up, on a corner in Bogotá doing software development

interactive basics and not dreaming with truly global plans,

with reaching millions of people, with changing the education of the world.

It's because I surrounded myself with a person that I competed with and eventually began to collaborate

that I took away a lot of the mental biases that were holding me back from growing

and elevating myself, going far beyond the basic limit.

This is what we know as the problem of the path of least resistance.

This is very difficult to to explain in simple words,

so I am going to explain it with an example.

You've probably seen in movies a bunch of times

when someone is chasing the character,

imagine that the character is being chased, they are going to catch him so he goes out into a corridor.

and what do they always do in a corridor with stairs? He goes down,

because down is where the gravity is. It's the path of least resistance,

the brain doesn't even think in these cases, it's like:

Of course, since this is down, I don't have to make any effort, I just have to jump

and I fall faster. This almost always ends up in the real world in the person being caught,

because the police, for example in general they are not idiots

and they're going to catch somebody and they're going to chase them and they've already set up a perimeter

and they're going to stop their escape on the ground, on the second floor.

And because, just as you can jump quickly your captors can jump as well

because it is effortless.

On the other hand, if you go up towards the ceiling,

you are making an energetic expenditure stronger for those that chase you

because you're one person, you're light, you're fast, you can run faster.

Where your captors are probably two, three, five people,

they're slower, they're more people, they have to coordinate more people.

It's easier to lose people by going the the way up with more resistance,

than the path of least resistance that everyone was going to follow anyway.

This is very much known in philosophy as the dilemma of the road more and the road less traveled.

As when one is in the field and one has to make the decision,

"I'm going the way that is easier, without grass"

the most traveled road or "I'm going by the road that has been traveled the least".

Most likely the road by that the least people have traveled

one says: "Oops there must be a reason why people don't go that way."

And that's very complex.

It's the reason why many people get out of poverty

and after that they never evolve beyond it.

The reason is because stability, particularly job stability

allows you to get out of poverty, but it doesn't get you out of the lower-middle class,

because it makes you by definition stable.

That's why job stability is so important in emerging countries, because it allows you to leave,

it allows you to go back to trusting that you can predict the future and that it's going to be okay,

but it doesn't let you go any further. Choose the more demanding path

whenever you can in life, the one less traveled

because you are going to find two things when you choose that path.

You're going to find less competition and you're going to find that the competition that chooses that path

is the competition that's worthwhile, that's the type of of people that you want to surround yourself with,

is the people who choose the hard version, the interesting version. difficult version, the interesting version.

You also have to learn to enjoy feeling uncertainty.

What is the reason you didn't confess to him or her that you love him or her?

The reason is because you are afraid that he or she tells you no, that's almost always the reason.

Why do we get so excited about human relationships in the early days

and then, the endings are so cruel and so different to that sudden explosive love of falling in love?

Because it is a combination of uncertainty

and the excitement of the potential that anything can happen,

that here I found true happiness.

When you stop chasing uncertainty, you stop chasing growth,

when you are afraid of change you become passive and don't do new things.

Enjoy that feeling of uncertainty, normal humans don't do this,

normal humans seek safety first and foremost,

normal humans that's why they vote conservative, because they don't want change.

No, what if things get worse, instead of thinking what if things get better.

That is absolutely fascinating, that's what really generates growth for us.

Think that in the universe, it's better to be talented than lucky.

I think I had a lot of luck, but what I had the most was a desire to never stop learning,

and to constantly use my talent for good, to grow myself.

I did not grow up in a family with money,

I didn't have an expensive education from any perspective,

in fact, I had a very cheap education more or less,

I didn't have someone to lend me money

to start my first business, nor my second business, nor my third business.

I had the hardest road in all the versions of what I've done,

and the reason why for better or for worse I have come out of many of these cases well,

is because I have always put talent over luck.

Humans eventually as a matter of simple probability

we will get lucky about two or three times in a lifetime,

but if at the moment when the luck arrives you haven't trained and forged yourself, it's useless.

It is simply an opportunity that you missed,

on the other hand, if you have the talent to catch it at that moment, then you're really going to succeed.

I missed a lot of opportunities,

opportunities that I have very clear in my head why I missed them,

and what I did was learn about it.

When I lost them, the hardest thing was to learn to forgive myself and try again.

Because of the way our society is made,

we punish in a very strong way people who try and fail.

We have phrases that destroy the soul, there are phrases that are honestly

an apology to continue being mediocre, for example that phrase of:

"You were not supposed to get that. It wasn't meant to be for you"

It is no worth to try it". Those phrases are the way in which

we we stagnate and we stay in the same place

to make sure that we never emerge and we believe them ourselves.

feeling ashamed of having failed,

feeling guilty for not having not having tried.

You probably tried to learn to program once, and since it was very difficult

you think it's never going to work for you, because you haven't forgiven yourself and you haven't tried it again,

you probably tried to learn English and it cost you so much that it didn't work for you,

suddenly someone humiliated you. Humiliation is very particular,

because humiliation, it is the fault of others, but it is one's own burden,

and the way to overcome it is forgiving oneself.

And it's remembering that it's not about making a lot of effort,

it's finding the place where the least amount of effort generates the highest level of leverage.

The person who taught me this was Paul Buchheit.

Paul Buchheit is the creator of gmail and the creator of

the google phrase "don't be evil" and the facebook timeline.

He was one of Platzi's advisors and mentors

when we were in Silicon Valley at Y Combinator.

And he's an incredibly lazy person.

It's maddening how lazy Paul Buchheit is.

He works, but he makes his minimum effort and chooses in a way

very dedicated where he's going to put his effort.

He's still putting in eight hours a day and he's with hisfamily and he works Monday through Friday and everything else.

even though he's a hyper millionaire he is obscenely millionaire,

and he was explaining to me, what you have to do, is to find

the 20% of things that you do in the day, that generate 80% of your results

and do those, and the 80% of things that only generate 20% of your results, do not do them,

just let that 20% go. It cracked me up, it makes total sense,

it makes total sense that one prioritizes more...

have you ever sat down prioritize what you do on a day-to-day basis?

what has the biggest impact and what is just pretending that you're working?

Try it, it's fascinating.

A lot of people are really wasting their time

by not following this 80 20 rule,

and I understand what many of you are going to think after I tell you this,

Oh yeah, that's what Freddy says because he went over there, to the Silicon Valley

and the godfather is Elon Musk and all those things...

No. Forbid your mind to be mediocre.

Those sentences where you start to explain why it happened to him,

that therefore it can't happen to me, that's a lie, that's your mind

justifying the laziness of doing nothing,

the path of least resistance, the path of stability.

Stability should be an insult, it should be as if I were to say to you:

"Your mother is a person of little value and virtue and dresseses in a foul manner."

That's how you should feel.

Don't allow your mind to generate excuses to stop...

"Oh of course not, that happened to you because you were born over there, is that you had this opportunity,

that doesn't happen here, until the the government doesn't come and take me out of here."

Forbid your mind to be mediocre, forbid it, block this in a radical way.

and remember that it is better to work smarter than to work harder.

Latin America is the region of the world where the most hours are worked per person.

Mexicans work twice as hard as the Japanese,

Japanese people who throw themselves on a train because of overwork.

Mexicans work more, but they don't jump on a train.

because they have tacos, and tequila, and a happy life, and Vicente Fernandez.

Mexicans work harder than the Japanese,

Colombians work harder than the Japanese,

earn less money per hour of work.

The smartest way to work is by learning,

is by making your time worth more,

and you increase the value of your time

learning practical professional skills for the job

using things like Platzi.

But there is also another truth, once you start to grow,

remember that all successful peoplework very hard.

The only successful people who don't work very hard

are the people who inherited what they have

and they didn't get it by merit, simply by luck.

That happens, there are people who are successful in life because they were born in the right family,

because they inherited a fortune, because a series of things in their universe conspired

to make them become Flight Youtubers,

who then in the pandemic are simply comedy Youtubers.

Things where you just got lucky and nothing else really happens,

but that's the exception not the rule and it's not going to happen to you, it didn't happen to me.

For the 99.99 % of humanity to do well,

they have to make their time worth more, they have to follow the 80 20 rule

and once they find it they have to work very hard.

My last advice to close this program,

is that you have rhythm and never miss a beat.

100% of the people who succeed, who let go of laziness,

don't do it because they stop being lazy.

I'm super lazy,

I don't get up early, but not by a long shot, there's no way I'm getting up early,

there's no way, I can't, it's not going to happen, I don't get up early.

There are things that I hate doing and that I don't do,

but then why do I generate discipline to other things like to being CEO?

to not stop learning, to writing, to mentoring.

Because I have a rhythm of this is what I do every week,

that I know that when I finish it makes me happy.

And find that rhythm,  find happiness

in the things where I don't mind bother to work hard, that's the magic.

The rhythm is very simple, let's look at it as if you were students of Platzi.

If you are a Platzi student, you go to the home page and you have this interface

where on the left are the routes and schools that you follow,

in the center are the courses you are taking and on the right all the courses.

And I know that you see the column on the left with lazy eyes

constantly you're probably adding courses back and forth

or you are adding schools, but every once in a while you think:

"No, I'm not going to learn all this. I'll leave it for the weekend"

"I'm too tired and I don't have the strength to think..."

and that's where you lose the rhythm, the rhythm of learning.

We humans master what we repeat.

I was very bad at tennis, I liked to play tennis, but I didn't master it.

because I didn't have the discipline to learn the movements of tennis,

I thought you just play and do crazy things and learning how to scrape the ball.

I could win and do like tricks, but I never mastered the basics.

That's when I sat down with  rhythm to constantly repeat

the backhand and forehand that suddenly mastered tennis,

because we humans dominate what we repeat.

Humans can master any skill.

That idea of people who are good for some things and bad for others

is the mind giving you permission to be mediocre and one has to forbid it,

everything is rhythm and the rhythm is easy to define.

It's better to do what you want a little bit every day,

instead of doing it in lots of it once in a while.

That's what happens with the "Oh, I go to the gym on weekends"

no, on the weekend you will order two kilos of nachos

and you're going to put on Netflix you're not going to work out.

If you're going to exercise, you exercise every day a little bit.

If you guys did a minute of planking every day,

that would be the equivalent of doing hours in the gym once a week,

and it's only a minute of planking, really.

Just imagine what you would do if instead of delegating a lot of work to the future,

you did a little bit every day.

That's it, to never stop learning is to learn something new today,

is to take a course class today, is to do something for you and your professional growth today,

It is today, and tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, every day for five minutes,

for 10 minutes, for half an hour to be constantly learning.

To be raising the value of every minute of your time,

otherwise you are going to remain  stable, and stable people die,

stable people don't advance, stable is a risk.

It is a risk because while you are stable,

there are other people around you who are growing and they are going to leave you behind.

Don't forget and remember the most important of all the above,

learn to forgive yourself, it's okay to fail,

the only person you should compare yourself to is yourself.

The rest of the people don't matter, in general the rest of the people don't matter. Nobody is thinking about you,

I swear, I'm not I'm not thinking about you,

it doesn't even cross my mind that you are a person that exists.

I don't give a shit.

But I'm thinking about me, just like you're thinking about you.

The only person you should be comparing yourself to is yourself,

and that that person is the one you have to forgive,

that person is the one you have to measure,

and that person, you,

is the one you have to motivate to try again.
