عمر يشرح التعليم الذاتي Omar Explains Self Education

One would say don't want to specify my goals, because if fail them it'll be painful" That's fine! Except you'll fail all the time then without knowing, you won't know that you're real failure Until you fail so hard that you're done! and that could easily happen when you're 35 or 40 People will tell you that you're blind to your own flaws and they are right but you're also blind to your strengths If you discover/nurture them, and be honest with yourself in improving them you CAN CHANGE THE WORLD vow to you my full support, I'll give you my eyes if need be! didn't like them anyways.. Peace be upon you. My name is Omar Alghamdi and this video will change your life if you listen to it carefully. Place it in your favorites listen to it twice or more and take note of the things you need to do. video made recently went viral, it was about me working for major company without high degree. explained in the video that self-education (part of self-improvement) was the major reason behind my success So, high number of the 3.7 million viewers asked me to explain how it works and what it is. So promised would had hoped that fame and advice seeking would only come to me after reach the age of 40 How am supposed to tell you to stop being pathetic when myself am pathetic! But bet you (if you're younger than me and you follow these instructions by 60%) you'll be way better than me. If you're my age or older, if what say doesn't help you it won't inflect harm on you. But before speak about self-education I'll explain why you need to start ASAP! It has become customary for us today to say (before doing anything) "what do get in return" And if we don't find an immediate benefit in the next 5 minutes of the task we tend to think it's not worth it. It's not really nearsightedness, rather we've been trained to get whatever we want right when we want it. I'll tell you the benefit.. This life is going to flatten you, It'll squish you and squeeze you. Regardless of how much money you have, your status, and power. Some situations will deal you blow So much so that if you're not mentally ready for them you'll end up with psychological disorder or failure. OR EVEN BOTH You would hardly find anyone who wasn't one person away from disaster that flipped their life. His dad has alzheimer or dementia, his brother has fallen into deep debt, His daughter got cancer or long term illness. His best friend lost his job and fell into heavy drugs That's assuming that ideological groups didn't try to brain wash him and trick him into oppressing another group of humans while thinking he is doing "good deeds" In my education I've seen awful examples of terrible injustices by group over another. swear you can't even imagine the level of cruelty! you'd ask are these humans or demons!? And you'd find out very rapidly that with bit of ignorance, any one of us could become ideologically possessed the dialog comes to you with sweet words of equality for all or fast track to heaven And in the end tens of millions die of starvation Or you'd find yourself committed to terrorist organization Because you didn't think well enough nor did you learn compassion. So what do you do in the face of all of this suffering and challenges? Educate yourself! Learn to think and act! Take responsibility for your actions! Try to reduce the suffering! start with yourself, what good are you? Work on yourself so that when crisis hits your family, you know how to act instead of shivering in your bed And stand up solidly so that people can rely on you! don't be victim! Of course you're victim! swear you have so many reasons to be depressed! Everyone you ever knew or loved is going to die! You too! and there is fair share of sufferings along the way Most of it will be unjust suffering, and it could have been avoided! Get yourself together, even without this self education, you know how to fix bit of your problems if you really wanted to! even in the sorry state you're in, if you sat on your bed tonight and asked yourself: What remarkably stupid things am doing on daily bases that are wasting my time and preventing my improvement You'll get black list so fast in your mind you'd be excused to think your brain is supercomputer! Improving yourself will require time, effort and sacrifice! You must have valued goal that pushes you forward! or else in week you''ll lose all of your enthusiasm And then you'll say its not worth it and lot of work.. all the things you've been saying your whole life. The problem is that people don't like to set goals. because they are scared of failure failure is the way to success, fear of failure is the biggest challenge to success. If you don't allow yourself to risk and fail you'll never find the right path! One would say don't want to specify my goals, because if fail them it'll be painful" That's fine! Except you'll fail all the time then without knowing, you won't know that you're real failure Until you fail so hard that you're done! and that could easily happen when you're 35 or 40 Broke! never worked on himself! has zero skills and no trade to make money off of. Has no respect from people and doesn't behave well Didn't build family, or even worse he did but they hate him and he hates them! No plans for the future! No reliable good friends! No benefit to himself or others! Look you're paying the price either way! either with hard hours of work now or years of misery later! You have to treat yourself like someone you love and hope they will succeed Sit down with yourself and ask, where will be 3-5 years down the road? How are you going to aim at something you don't even know? You'll get what you want if you're willing to pay the price for it. Let's pretend that yourself's answer was want money and travel! Okay what else? nothing, just money and travel! I'll be happy! alright. How will you get money? -a good job Beautiful! How do we get high paying job? -Study bit and get higher education. Fantastic, you study for bit, your vision clears up bit and you discover that you really hate your field of study. And if you forced yourself to study it with you hating it, you'll hate your job. So the goal becomes: want good paying job, that find interesting, and it gives me time for travel. And also want partner to share my life with, and build family. And also want my mom to be happy so should stay clear of trouble. So she'll be proud of me. Notice that when you take steps towards your goals they change to better goals Because you start as useless fool and walking towards goals makes you better person Until you're someone who loves themselves the family and the rest of the people. So the 'heaven' that you'll write for yourself (which is where your life will be in 3-5 years if you really tried to improve) You have to update it every 6 months And good idea to write hell that you should try avoiding You really don't have to think much about what will happen if you keep doing the bad things you're already doing. If you didn't do the fundamental things you KNEW you'll be harmed for ignoring. Your hell by the way has no rock bottom Because no matter how bad it is you could always manage to make it lot worse and when you go to 'your hell' you don't go by yourself! You'll take your family, friends, and ANYBODY who cares about you and tries to help you with you. You think I'm exaggerating? my good sir if you didn't see someone in hell while they are still alive with us today, you're not paying enough attention! The only thing preventing them from killing themselves is that they are muslims and they believe they will be punished for it Destruction is not step by step process its slippery slope If you start falling it will be very hard to get out of it. You must be careful You use drugs once or twice, you like them until you become addicted. Then all of your money goes away, people from work find out and they fire you. So now you don't even have money to buy your fix and you become worse All of the decent friends leave you because you're bad influence now. And every one in your family is gonna hate themselves while trying to save you Your mental health will suffer because you feel useless and ashamed and deep inside you inside your soul you know that it was YOU who did this. Even if you blame everybody else And you'll keep sinking lower and lower, this pit has no bottom. You MUST be careful. Okay, so how do you start? well after you write your personal heaven and hell want you to chop up your way to heaven from years to months to days to hours. don't care if you're muslim, christian, agnostic or atheist You should know that the religious way in organizing your life is very useful! The human brain is being pushed by something called the dopaminergic system You don't have to fundamentally change, your brain will give you intensives If you finish small tasks that would lead to valued goal. I've said and repeat: You must treat yourself like you treat someone you care for that you want to succeed! So you have to negotiate with yourself. Because when you ask yourself to put in effort. Well that's hard! yourself would rather mess around with the phone. Or maybe it wants to watch things on youtube That you don't care about, and has no use to you. Not only that but it makes you feel crappy about watching after you're done. So when you ask yourself for something act as if yourself works for you. Tell her want you to do tasks & Yourself will ask, what offer me for finishing those tasks for you. So make sure to schedule your time in way that will finish your tasks first and then take break Go out with friends or play some video games, whatever works for you man! But you have to finish your tasks first If you don't finish your tasks don't think that you will enjoy your time outside. Your brain is going to bother you and make you feel guilty about not finishing your tasks first! it'll make you feel bad! "yourself" is weird as hell you think you know yourself? you don't People will tell you that you're blind to your own flaws and they are right but you're also blind to your strengths If you discover/nurture them, and be honest with yourself in improving them you CAN CHANGE THE WORLD You can't be the best at everything, you can't even be good at everything! There isn't enough time! But if you were honest with yourself and you worked really hard on it's development you'll become stronger and stronger and stronger! Nobody knows the upper limit for successful people From time to time we get to see some individuals that were honest with themselves and worked on development for tens of years And our lives are better today even if they have died hundreds of years ago. Nothing could have stopped them! Nothing could have stood in their way Strong people? Years in jail cell, they go out to lead the nation! torture to change his core beliefs does not work on them! hanging rope will only see to have his views solidified and leads to invaders leaving his country Even burning at the stake will leave his ideas stronger! Ideas that start whole fields of study which gets taught way after they parish Their name goes down in history as someone who helped push humanity forward! Because just as failure is slope, success is not step by step its ascension! Every step makes the next one easier. If you know how to play your hand. Read about Sulaiman Al Rajhi or Warren Buffett, They are alive till this day. They worked as broom boy or papers Gathers pennies, buys and sells and invests pennies to riyals to thousands to millions to billions! And I'm not just talking about business, giants whom have changed history If you go and look closely at their early life, you'll find that they worked small and sometimes simple jobs. The greatest human to ever live was sheep herder. Are you better than him bro? If you're in high school, college or university, get part time job! Whip down tables, Stand at reception office, work on cashier register! You think that the few thousands of pay is all your getting for job like that? This teaches you what people are made of! Teaches you how people act! It builds up your confidence to talk to those you do not know! And the money is good, don't let your family to 'livestock feed' you! You're not sheep! Depand on yourself! Don't belittle any job, in the future if you see someone doing something similar to it you won't belittle them. Makes you humble, grants you discipline, teaches you time managment Lift load brother! So that you could say: Yeah well useless as am can lift this heavy rock from here to there This gives you confidence in yourself, instead of you hating yourself And another point is there is absolutely nothing wrong with you being proud of yourself and your achievements If you didn't respect yourself who would? There's difference between confidence in self+abilities and egotism/arrogance look around me and only see weak personalities beaten down even if they were great One of them can't stand and talk in front of 9-10 people hadieth passage ( he with hint of arrogance shall never enter the kingdom of heaven ) Hint of arrogance not hint of confidence! Arrogance is to see yourself above all others. Like they are not made of flesh and blood same as you. Marginalizing their achievements and despising them. That's what arrogance is. Elon Musk, the man who flipped the world of technology the one who created PayPal spaceX and Tesla Had he been arab, swear you'll find people belittling him. They'll say: look at this guy playing the part! What are you gonna do.. CHANGE THE WORLD? What exactly did he do? make rocket that comes back to it's place? REALLY? Rockets have been around since the 1960s do you think we don't understand?. AND the old ones are way better than yours. They took us to the moon and back. Yours always explode and they never left near earth orbit. Not only are they trying to bring him down, but personal attacks against him and his family and upbringing. The point I'm trying to make is that our nation is conservative That has many benefits like stability and low crime rates Those are not negligible! But at the same time creativity gets killed easily! We have way of doing things, and this way works! don't bring new ideas chances are that your idea will wreck the whole system! And they are correct but that would mean that attacks against your creativity will come from all people. criticisms could kill your creativity if you're not powerful enough. so you have to have the ability to..... Shake off the haters. Tell them don't worry, you'll read up on me in 10 years. We'll see where I'll end up and you will be! Those who insult you ignore them but those who criticize listen to them. Because even if your enemy criticized you, 90-95% of it is crap 5% is actual good advice you should listen to. digress, OK so how do self-educate myself. What applications or websites do you recommend? NONE! swear list of companies came along to offer good money to sponsor this episode They take money for subscriptions sooo... NO! Self education is free! Top universities in the world offer their classes for free! There are youtube channels that summarize hours of research in 4-5 minute video If someone asks you for single penny in exchange for information, start backing away slowly and get as far away as possible. The world is between your hands for free. If you really love what they are doing then maybe transfer some money on patreon. Or find them new fans! follow 20 channels but only give patreon to 3! Self-education is like well tailored suit. could give you mine and you could wear it but it wouldn't fit you. If gave my suit to Omar from 2 years ago he would tear it up... because he's fat! The reason behind me saying this is that everybody is different. every self education is tailored to the user. Fits your abilities, matches your interests, and useful! Even if you start badly and you will. In short time you will zone down on what interests you and you find beneficial But the first thing that you have to do is finding out what form of education works for your brain. Meaning do you get the most info from reading listening and seeing or by doing. don't like reading, and even hate books! Don't get mad at me have light dyslexia. Reading is hard for me. But even if was like one of those who read page in 15 seconds, still would hate books. You can't read book while driving to work but you can listen to an audio book You can't read book while washing the dishes but you could play lecture. And when you're 1on1 fully focused on your laptop you could play videos at 150% speed you'll get used to it promise, maybe you noticed that talk fast. and bet that's the reason don't have time for professor who like: COME ON MAN! GET ME THAT KNOWLEDGE! be quick! If he is speaking fast or you don't know anything about the subject then play the thing slower. If you don't get it go back 10 seconds and let them repeat what they said. You can make them do that forever. In some rare cases the nobody has summarized the specific info you're looking for. At that time you MUST READ. But other than that, ME PERSONALLY I'm visual audible learner. Don't forget to keep note of how many hours of education and fields of study you're doing while in 1on1. Not for bragging rights, No! It's to see what GRABS your interest and it would give you chance for specialization and maybe future job! Let me tell you something, If you wanted to be an Olympic champion You have to designate day for arms, chest, abs, legs. You have to eat protein 6-7 times day But if normal person did 20% of what the champion was doing they would get 80% of the results! And this is why doctors say to you that you really should walk 30 minutes day You'll get immanence health benefits from it. And that is true! They do however, prefer if you worked out 5 hours day and only ate healthy stuff... But everybody has their own life, nobody got time for that. Same thing goes for self education. The fundamentals of the sciences are missing from people. You could go infinitely higher than most with just bit of education. It would be good that when you're knowledgeable. Focus chunk of your time on one single filed. So that you become an expert in it. But that comes later, first you have to look around to know what you even find interesting. In addition to information you are going to require talents! You have to nurture them and begin with the fundamental ones. Do you speak English? Arabic is my favorite language But if you don't speak English its hard to find job with major companies. And you'll have way more options for self education if you do. Know your level in English If you're beginner then download TV shows, most of the Arabs whom are good in English watch them. Watch them first with Arabic subs then with English subs so that you hear the word and see it written. If you're an intermediate, practice, practice, practice! And the internet is open, Speak with the world in English Try translating words in your mind and write them down. Advanced? join or create public speaking club. not toastmasters or any others. They demand monthly subscriptions for what exactly? There are MANY online videos that will show you how to give an amazing presentation and the major pits people fall into and how to fix them. For free! You could found speaking club. Invite your friends, classmates from school, colleagues from work Plan time and place for you to meet at and every time let 2 or 3 of you speak Even if you don't find anyone. You could set your phone to record and start speaking in front of it. You'll spot your flaws and with practice all of them can be fixed. After English, Do you know how to use computer? And don't mean do you know how to press the power button and open the internet browser, I'm asking you do you know how to write code? If you don't know how to code do you know how to design websites? Can you use Photoshop or video editing application? Do you know the tricks of excel and powerpoint for business/meetings? Have you worked on the SAP system? All of these are skills that are easily learn-able if you like computers. Articulation! My god the power of articulation! I've seen in my life and met people whom have been staggeringly successful. You don't want to be on the other side of debate against one of them. They will levitate you upwards and slash you into tiny pieces, small cat will be able to eat you after. Not in an evil way or with rising voice and logical tricks No! If you go up against one of them you better have your points clear, lined up and organized! Because if you are careful when talking to someone who can think and articulate at this level he will make you look like an absolute moron! With wide smile on their face! The ability to articulate and deliver massage is radically underestimated in our world. Even though it is one of the MOST important skills an effective human being needs. And you could use it in most of life's situations Ok well how do you get this superpower? Learn how to write, learn critical thinking, and learn what fallacious arguments are. These are skills you should work on to build the future you. vow to you my full support, I'll give you my eyes if need be! didn't like them anyways.. You think don't gain benefits when you do? When you work on yourself, it's true that it's in your interest and your family in the first degree But if you tremendously succeed, And you really can do it! Your society and the rest of people benefit too and you'll be like virus, helping this person and that person and those over there... You'd reduce their suffering and help them piece their life together, then they will do the same and spread good out. And they become better humans, with way less discrimination, less hate! We will all get higher productivity and achievement Even from selfish view point, the envious idiot doesn't understand that its better for him when others succeed! The world is no longer zero sum game Look around you at this world we live in now, you eat food that the king of England couldn't dream of 100 years ago You get into the belly of metal bird that will fly you tremendous distances You getting there in hours is considered miracle to someone not from this time. You place piece of glass plastic, metal and silicon on your face. and you end up talking with someone on the other side of the planet. All of these is from people who worked hard and changed the world bit by bit. Why do you think they are so different from you? Listen to me and don't get upset, it would be impossible for you to be wise before knowing how ignorant you are before you know how your brain is slave to outside factors, the environment, your subconscious.. And your stupid biases. You have to have humility and patience. If you set 30 minutes aside in your day.. or even less. You know what!? don't even set any time aside just do this... Next time you're playing video games just have "ted talk" in the background. If you don't play video games then download two audio books and listen to them throughout your normal days Pick ANY scientific subject you like! You might say I'm making it too easy for you but I'm not! The beginning is like car moving from being still. You require lot of gas and the distance traveled is small. But when you pick momentum.. You'll be on highway burning very little gas while going high speeds. And it's up to you how far to travel. You improve yourself 5-10 years, you won't even be able to recognize who this new person is! You'll be very strong human, one that could withstand pressure! One who could talk with deep knowledge in many fields. When he speaks everyone shuts up and listens! When someone tries to take advantage of you, you'll feel as if they are child carrying 3 papers (3 riyals) And you have 1 paper ( tenner ) and they are like, I'll give you these three whole papers for that measly one paper. Go try to trick someone else.. Scammers, lairs, pyramid scheme and conspiracy theory pushes, you'll be able to spot them mile away. Nobody could take advantage of you unless you let them. If you need something from them then just pretend you're dumb. You could improve yourself, and you could ignore me, you're free man my good sir! Keep complaining and whining about your luck see what happens... you'll make everything you're complaining about infinitely worse! The message in the previous video that everybody loved! Those who hated the video and those who loved it You either cry and complain about your luck OR try to improve your situation. Get yourself together my friend there is nothing in it but good. For you. For your family and for us all.
