  1. @Yimpa yeah that's the key .Thank you. Just like a recent example - my friend is telling us to buy a course which is costly for preparing for competitive exams but I deny it cause I am skeptical that coaching institute just play on claims and there is no garantee that I will compete in that exam after taking that course except self study. I liked Leo's videos like -How authority works, How socialization makes you dumber. 

     


  2. Some of insights that hit me are - people are irrational, college is a stimulated environment etc.And are we God in the sense that when we veiw the world from above which is going meta we are dreaming the universe and  being God. Sorry by the way I have failed in philosophy cause I am not awake .But there are other things to do such as learning from awake people about general lessons that can be applied in life ?

    @Rishabh R Depends how you use visualization. 
     

    Visualization is something you master over time. It’s not as easy as visualizing everything going the way you want it to and then that happening. You refine your visualization over time. 
     

    1. Visual

    2. Experience reality

    3. Self Reflect and improve

    repeat
     

    Visualizing that things will go badly doesn’t help either. In fact it can make things worse. 
     

    Developing an optimistic view, and using visualization of how you will act, how you approach your day, your posture, your success. This helps. 

    Pessimism is useful as well when down constructively. 
     

    The point is that you are working towards improving your life, while balancing pessimism and optimism, facing the truth, visualizing your success, refining your skills and lifestyle until you are living a powerful life.

     

    But I think that visualizing  that what can you do when things are going wrong could be a useful strategy.


  4. @Leo Gura my interests - the answer to the question. Also you gave similar values in your videos like questioning and not knowing,responsibility, learning from failures. Yes radical honesty was also a value which is honesty to oneself ( in most cases I don't know). By the way how can I learn from failures - Is questioning , What can I learn from my failures the key ?(I was contemplating it yesterday)


  5. @Leo Gura ok and what do you say on my classmates who have relationships without approaching random strangers and I approached more girls than them. What I did was worth it ? Even now also I am approaching my classmates and those girls are rejecting me calling me brother and later committing to some other guy. How do I reframe it ? One of my classmate told me to study and not approach a random stranger because of I do it nobody will save me from getting beaten by their boyfriends?By the way here are my statistics : 2 approaches per week in since last 6 months (girls who are my classmates).And continuing.

    58 approaches(random stranger girls ) in previous semester which is 6 months . 


  6. I bought read the book Subtle art of not giving a ____ and I want to live out it's values :

    The values are :

    Radical responsibility: I am responsible for everything that happens in my life regardless of who is at fault

    Uncertainty and not knowing: Questioning beliefs,thoughts,assumptions

    Failure : willing to see one's mistakes and flaws

    Rejection through commitment to a particular career, place or person

    Contemplation of mortality

    Thank you

  7. @Leo Gura thank you but how to handle awkwardness and confrontation, threats etc The looks of disgust on girls face when you approach strangers whom you don't know.Plus insecure people ? You also said that you will do a video on victim mindset in the future. Even I no longer feel like a victim cause I have taken radical responsibility in my life - whatever happens in my experience I am the one responsible for it.
