你可以在两周内学会任何东西

你可以在两周内学会任何东西。

You can learn anything in two weeks.

我知道这对大多数人来说听起来很疯狂，但我并不是在说完全掌握一项技能。

And I know that sounds insane to most people, but I'm not talking about mastering a skill in its entirety.

显然，那需要十年左右的时间。

Obviously that takes like ten years.

我不是在说完全掌握某个特定主题。

I'm not talking about mastering any specific topic.

我指的是在两周内朝着你生活中的目标取得显著进展。

I'm talking about making substantial progress toward a goal in your life in two weeks.

在那段时间里，你可以学到足够多的东西，从而取得惊人的成果。

You can learn enough in that timeframe to achieve incredible results.

如果这还不能让你对如何加速实现人生重大里程碑感到极度兴奋——比如赚更多钱、学习乐器、学习语言、学习像After Effects或Photoshop这样的软件，或者学习人工智能——那我认为你还没真正理解我的意思。

And if that doesn't make you extremely excited about how much you can accelerate the progress toward the big milestones that you're trying to achieve in life, like making more money or learning an instrument or learning a language or learning a software like After Effects or Photoshop or learning AI, then I don't think you understand where I'm coming from just yet.

问题是，大多数人已经习惯了认为，成功来自于长时间埋头苦读课本，为考试学习十二小时以上，而你学到的知识有95%最终都会被遗忘。

Now, problem is that most people have become wired to think that success stems from sticking your nose in textbooks for twelve plus hours at a time to study for an exam where 95% of the knowledge you learn goes out the window.

当到了找工作，或者将所学知识应用到日常生活中以获得实际成果时，我认为其中不到1%是真正有用的。

And then when it comes time to getting a job or even just getting real world results by applying that knowledge to your daily life, I would argue that less than 1% of it applies.

你经常听到这样的故事：我上了大学，拿到了学位，但要么找了一份完全不相关的work，仅仅因为有了学位；要么找到了目标领域的工作，但学的东西全用不上，还得在岗上重新学。

You hear stories all the time of, Oh, I went to college, got a degree, then either got a job in a completely unrelated field simply because I had a degree or got a job in the field I was trying to go into, but none of it applied because I had to learn on the job.

你实际上必须通过实践来学习如何做事。

You actually have to learn how to do things by doing them.

令人惊讶吧。

Shocker.

还有另一点，你学的这些东西根本与你的日常生活无关。

Another thing there is that you're learning all of this stuff that doesn't even apply to your daily life.

你为了四到八年——取决于你读多久的书——推迟了自己的生活和进步，因为你没有把所学应用到当下的生活中。

You're putting off your life and your progress for four to eight years, depending on how long you go to school, because the knowledge you're not applying it to your life right now.

你推迟了自己的成长和进步，直到获得社会赋予你的那种‘资格’，然后进入一份你余生都无法摆脱的工作。

You're delaying your development and the progress you can make until you achieve this point of status that you're given by society to get a job that you're stuck in for the rest of your life.

换句话说，总结一下：你很可能完全浪费了学习的每一秒，这绝不是夸张。

So in other words, and to round this all out, you're probably completely wasting every second you spend learning, and that is not an exaggeration.

学校教你学得极其缓慢。

Schools train you to learn extremely slow.

如果学习能让你变得有用并获得你想要的生活，想象一下，如果你花时间学习如何学习，你能做到什么。

And if learning allows you to be useful and get what you want out of life, imagine what you could do if you actually spent time learning how to learn.

如果你懂得如何真正学习，如何快速学习，你就能在别人实现一个目标的时间内达成十个目标。

If you knew how to actually learn, how to learn fast, then you could achieve 10 goals in the same amount of time that it would take the person to achieve one.

而他们可能直到毕业或学够了才勉强实现那一个目标。

And they probably wouldn't even achieve that one until they graduated school or learned enough.

所以，这个视频的目的就是教你如何快速学会任何东西。

So that's what this video is for, is to learn exactly how to learn anything fast.

这不会涵盖所有的科学、心理学和学习技巧。

And this isn't gonna cover all of the science and the psychology and all of the learning tips.

这只会完全聚焦于你需要做什么，而且其实非常简单，但有时最简单的事情，对人来说却是最难理解并真正付诸行动的。

This is going to just be completely focused on what you need to do, and it's pretty freaking simple, but sometimes the simplest things are the most complex things in the world for the a person to wrap their head around and actually get themselves to do it.

所以，我们将探讨三个洞见，如果你能真正内化这些内容，你就能快速学会任何东西。

So we're going to go over three insights, if you can actually internalize these things, you will be able to learn anything fast.

第一个洞见是，技能获取等于技巧叠加，因为你能做的每一件事都是技能。

The first insight is that skill acquisition equals technique stacking because everything you can do is a skill.

这句话应该会让你大吃一惊。

That should blow your mind.

仅凭这句话，就足以让你恍然大悟，天啊，我这一生其实能做这么多事。

That sentence alone should cause something to click and just make you realize holy crap, I can do so much in my life.

你能做的每一件事都是技能。

Everything you can do is a skill.

这意味着，如果你想改善人际关系，想结交新朋友，想创业，想提升职业发展，或者想提高表达能力和说服力。

That means if you want to get into a better relationship or you want to make new friends or you want to start a business or you want to improve your career or you want to improve your articulation, your persuasion.

你想更好地与人沟通。

You want to be able to talk to people better.

你想改善自己的身体。

You want to improve your body.

所有你能够掌控的事情，对吧？

Anything that you have control of, right?

斯多葛哲学强调控制你能控制的事情，这能让你对生活有更清晰的视角，因为如果你无法控制某件事，你仍然可以控制自己对它的反应。

The stoic philosophy of control what you can control that puts life into perspective for you because if you can't control something, you can control your reaction to it.

因此，你可以控制自己如何看待生活、如何在生活中的行动，并实现你想要达成的目标。

So you can control how you perceive life and how you act in life, and you can achieve the things you want to achieve.

所以，如果你无法控制某件事，你仍然可以控制自己对它的反应。

So if you can't control something, you can control your reaction to it.

你可以掌控自己的思想，减轻生活中大部分的痛苦，或者至少学会如何将痛苦转化为平静。

You can control your mind and ease most of the pain in your life, or at least learn how to transmute that pain into calm.

你可以中和它。

You can neutralize it.

你不可能一直体验到某种狂喜，但即使负面想法浮现，你也能坦然接受当下的状态。

You're not gonna experience some kind of euphoria all the time, but you can be okay with where you are even if negative thoughts pop into your mind.

这本身就是一种技能。

That's a skill in and of itself.

如果你能学会某件事，就意味着你可以反复练习，直到它成为你的本能，这样当你积累足够多的技能后，就能以优雅从容的姿态应对生活。

Now, if you can learn something, that means that you can practice it to the point of it becoming second nature to you so you can kinda slice through life with elegance and grace once you stack enough of these skills.

你可以想象一位吉他手，能够毫不费力地完美演奏一段独奏。

You think of a guitar player who can nail a solo without even thinking about it.

你可以想象一位职业篮球运动员，随时都能以99%的命中率投进三分球。

You think of a professional basketball player who can shoot three pointers on demand with a 99% success rate.

在你想要精通的任何事情上，你还没有达到那个水平。

You aren't at that point yet in whatever it is you want to do.

要达到那个境界，需要付出努力和坚持不懈。

It's going to take some effort and some persistence to get to that point.

但一旦你做到了，在生活的多个领域——健康、财富、人际关系、心态、心理健康，以及其他方面——想象一下那种状态。

But once you do in multiple areas of your life in health, wealth, relationships, mindset, mental health, whatever else there is, imagine that.

只要你掌握了这四个领域：心智、身体、精神和事业，你的生活就会相当美好，甚至可能跻身前1%。

You just master those four domains mind, body, spirit, business and your life is pretty good, if not in the top 1%.

话虽如此，大多数人尝试学习技能时，都是整体性地去学。

Now, with that said, most people try to learn skills as a whole.

他们会说：我要创业，于是就开始学习关于商业的一切。

They say, I'm gonna start a business, and they start to learn about business.

你不是在学习商业。

You don't learn about business.

你不会为了创业而去拿一个工商管理学位。

You don't get a business degree to start a business.

并没有一种叫做‘商业’的技能可以学习。

There is no skill that you can learn that's called business.

我觉得纳瓦尔·拉维坎特说过这句话。

I think Naval Ravikant said that.

你不是在学习商业。

You don't learn business.

那我们来点更实际的吧。

So let's make something more practical.

好的。

Okay.

我想学会弹吉他。

I want to acquire the skill of playing a guitar.

这本身就是全部的技能。

That's still that's the whole skill.

你允许一个极度混乱的任务进入你的思维，而它根本无序。

That's a massively disordered task that you're allowing into your mind, and it's not ordered.

你的注意力四处分散。

Your focus is going everywhere.

你的注意力已经分散在太多不同的方向上，让你感到不堪重负，甚至觉得你根本做不到。

Your attention is already split in so many different directions, overwhelming you to the point of thinking you can't do it.

我的意思是，当你说到想学吉他时，你谈的是五到十年的学习和练习。

I mean, when you say you want to learn the guitar, you're talking about five to ten years of study and practice.

网上有数以万计的书籍、YouTube视频、文章，还有无数人想告诉你学吉他的最佳方法。

There are tens of thousands of books, YouTube videos, articles on the Internet, and just just people who want to tell you what the best way to learn the guitar is.

所以你只是被分散了。

And so you just get split.

你被分成了两半。

You get split in half.

你必须明白，这些东西并不能教会你如何弹吉他。

You have to understand that these things can't teach you how to play the guitar.

它们只能展示一些你可以去尝试的东西，因为当你弹吉他时，想一想。

They can only show you things that you can experiment with because when you're playing the guitar, think about it.

当你真正弹吉他时，你会不会想，哦，我正在弹E和弦。

When you are actually playing the guitar, are you like, oh, I'm hitting an e chord.

哦，我现在得消音。

Oh, I need to mute right now.

我正在做这个。

I'm doing this.

一旦你精通了某件事，你就会自然而然地去做，因为它已经成为你的一部分。

Once you're good at something, you just do it because it's a part of you.

对吧？

Right?

你的大脑已经重塑了神经通路，让你成为一个吉他手。

You've changed the neural pathways in your brain so that you are a guitar player.

你可以做这件事。

You can do that thing.

到了那个阶段，就像开车或者走路一样。

It's like driving or like walking at that point.

这已经成为一种本能了。

It's just second nature.

那我们如何缩短学习新技能的时间呢？

So how do we shortcut learning new skills?

我们如何过滤掉所有干扰，确保只学习对掌握吉他演奏、赚钱或其他目标真正必要的内容？

How do we cut through all of that noise and ensure that we're only learning what's necessary to make progress toward playing the guitar, making money, whatever it may be?

关键在于意识到技能是由各种技巧组成的。

It's by realizing that skills are composed of techniques.

所以，如果我想学弹吉他，我不会一开始就去学习。

So if I want to learn how to play the guitar, I don't start learning.

我会直接开始弹奏，因为弹吉他的根本目的就是演奏一首歌。

I start playing because the entire purpose of playing the guitar is to play a song.

所以你要从这里开始。

So you start there.

这是第一步。

That's step one.

你要从目标开始。

You start with the purpose.

你不是从学习开始。

You don't start learning.

你要从目标开始。

You start with the purpose.

你想要达成什么？

What are you trying to achieve?

但现在你陷入了一个困境，对吧？

But now you're in a dilemma, right?

你去弹吉他，却不知道怎么弹。

You go to play the guitar and you don't know how to play it.

对吧？

Right?

你心里有一首歌。

You have a song in mind.

你有目标。

You have the purpose.

你知道自己想做什么，但你做不到。

You know what you're trying to do, but you can't do it.

那你能怎么做？

What So do you do?

这时你才开始以传统方式学习，但你的学习现在是有针对性的。

That's when you start learning in the traditional sense, but now your learning is focused.

你不是在读整本教科书，而是在寻找那个你必须掌握的小技巧，以便实现你目标的下一步。

You're not reading an entire textbook, you're finding that little technique that you need to know in order to reach the next step of achieving the goal you're trying to achieve.

所以如果我想弹第一个音符，却连怎么读谱都不会，那我就会去查怎么读谱，去查五线谱。

So if I'm trying to play the first note and I don't even know how to read it, then I'm gonna look up how do I read I'm gonna look up sheet music.

对吧？

Right?

一份乐谱速查表，这样我就能开始理解了，哦，这是一个音符。

A cheat sheet for sheet music so I can start to understand, okay, that's a that's a a note.

然后我再进一步研究。

And then I look further.

好的。

Okay.

那我在吉他上怎么弹这个音？

How do I play that on the guitar?

好的。

Okay.

需要特定的指法。

It's a certain finger placement.

很好。

Good.

明白了。

Got it.

好的。

Okay.

听起来还不错。

Sounds decent.

从那里开始，如果你反复进行尝试、探索和自我纠错，或者学习实现你设定的独特目标所需的具体知识，你最终很可能就能在吉他上弹奏出这首歌。

And then from there, if you repeat that process of trial, experimenting with things and error correcting yourself or learning the specific knowledge you need to know in order to achieve the unique goal that you set out to achieve, you'll probably end up playing the song on the guitar.

即使听起来有点糟糕，你也很可能能做到。

Even if it sounds kinda terrible, you'll probably do it.

你练习得越多，就越能熟练地做到。

And then the more you practice, the more you'll be able to do it.

而且，我觉得甚至不需要两周，但在两周内，你就能学会在吉他上弹奏这首歌，然后你可以继续积累。

And, I don't even think it would take two weeks, but within two weeks, you can learn how to play that song on the guitar, and then you can continue stacking.

当你转向下一首歌时，你已经掌握了之前学过的这一组技巧，这会让你更容易学会下一首歌。

And then when you move on to the next song, you already have this group of techniques that you've learned before that will make it easier to learn the next song.

所以假设你用一周学会下一首歌，然后接下来一首用三天，之后你就能一天学会一首歌了。

So let's say you learn the next song in a week and then the next one in three days, and then you can learn one song a day.

到那时，你已经掌握了大部分所需的东西。

By that point, you have most of what it takes.

你已经掌握了吉他演奏80%到90%的基本功，接下来只需要每天坚持练习，重复相同的内容，并逐步增加挑战的难度。

You have 80 to 90% of the fundamentals of playing the guitar under your belt and then it's just a matter of showing up every day, playing the same thing, and slowly increasing the level of challenge you're taking on over time.

当你这样坚持一年、两年、三年，这就引出了我们需要讨论的一个问题：你为什么要学习？

And when you do that over the course of one year, two years, three years, that's one thing that we actually need to talk about is why are you learning?

你学习的目的是什么？

What's the purpose of you learning?

你最终的目标是什么？

What's the entire goal?

如果你只是因为无聊而学习，而这些技能对你的生活没有任何实际价值，也不能提升你的个人价值或成为你身份的一部分，那你还学它干嘛？

If you're just learning things too because you're bored and it doesn't serve any any utility to your life or increase your value or become a part of who you are, then why are you learning them?

对。

Right.

如果你不能一辈子每天都做这件事，那么你就需要意识到，你一直在做一件你并不打算终身坚持的事情，并开始努力消除或替换它，或者干脆就不要学这件事，因为那你学它是为了什么？

If you aren't going to do it every day for the rest of your life, then you either need to identify that you've been doing something that you don't plan to do for the rest of your life and start to work on eliminating or replacing it, or you need to not learn that thing at all because then why are you learning it?

为了娱乐？

For entertainment?

当然，这没问题。

Sure, that's fine.

为了一个短期的爱好？

For a short term hobby?

当然，这没问题。

Sure, that's fine.

但如果你在生活中还没有达到你想要的状态，这些短期的爱好是不会帮到你的。

But if you aren't where you want to be in life, those things, those short term hobbies aren't going to help you.

刚才我们谈到了学习弹吉他，但我想谈谈对创作者来说更实际的事情。

Now we just talked about learning how to play the guitar, but I want to talk about something more practical for creatives.

我的观众中，你们大多数都是创作者。

Most of you in my audience are creatives.

所以想想学习 Photoshop、After Effects 或 Adobe Premiere。

So think about learning Photoshop or After Effects or Adobe Premiere.

对吧？

Right?

这些技能一旦掌握，会大大提升你创作更好作品的能力。

These things that if you learn them, they substantially increase your ability to create something better.

它们能帮助你把脑海中的想法转化为现实。

They increase your ability to take your mind and put it into the into reality.

现在，大多数人想学这些时，都会去看一小时的教程，里面教你 Photoshop 侧边栏里每一个该死的工具。

Now, while most people, when they want to learn this, they go and they watch an hour long tutorial that teaches you every single fucking tool that lives in the Photoshop sidebar.

再说一遍，你在视频里学的 95% 的内容，其中 95% 你根本用不上。

Again, you're learning 95% of 95% of the thing you're learning in that video, you're not going to apply.

你这是在浪费时间。

You're wasting your time.

当大多数人这么做时，你应该从你真正想做的事情开始。

When most people are doing that, you start with what you're trying to do.

你想创建一张图片。

You're trying to create an image.

如果你不是为了实现一个需要使用Photoshop的目标而学习它，那你就根本没有必要学Photoshop。

And the thing with that is you have no business learning Photoshop if you aren't actively working toward a goal that requires it.

因为当你有一个目标，并且需要掌握相关技能、软件或工具来实现它时，你会学得快得多。

Because when you have a goal and you need to learn the skills or the software or the things in order to achieve that goal, you learn it that much faster.

如果你只是因为无聊才学Photoshop，那还不如去读本小说。

If you're just learning Photoshop because you're bored, again, go and read a fiction book instead.

你学习技能不是为了娱乐。

You don't learn skills for entertainment.

你学习技能是为了实用。

You learn them for utility.

所以你有一张想创建的图片。

So you have this image that you want to create.

假设你想把一棵树移到另一个背景上，但你不知道该怎么做。

Let's say you want to put a tree on a different background, but you don't know how to do that.

对吧？

Right?

所以你现在把学习范围缩小到如何移除树的背景。

So now you narrow what you learn to how to remove the background from a tree.

当你看了一些相关视频后，你会发现有多种方法可以做到这一点。

And when you watch a few videos on that, you realize that there are many ways to do that.

于是你尝试各种方法，进行实验，最终意识到：对于树这种复杂对象，这种特定的选区和蒙版技术比用于普通简单对象更有效。

So you try them out, you experiment, and you realize, okay, this specific technique for selecting and masking an object is better to do with a tree than with just a plain object because a tree is much more complex.

因为树的结构复杂得多，需要移除的部分也更多。

You have a lot more things that you have to remove.

如果你用其他方法，效果可能不会太好。

And if you do it another way, it may not come out that well.

一旦你成功移除了树的背景，你就在脑海中巩固了这一小块知识：我可以用这种技术。

And so once you accomplish that, once you remove the background from the tree, then you solidify that little piece in your mind of, okay, I can use this technique.

我知道这种技术是存在的。

I know this technique exists.

下次我能做到快得多。

I can do it that much faster the next time.

而且，对于懂Photoshop的人来说，你们知道，掌握选择和蒙版技术能让你完成Photoshop的50%工作。

And with that, and for those that understand Photoshop, you understand that selecting and masking objects gets you like 50% of the way through Photoshop.

也就是说，只要你懂得如何选择和蒙版对象，你就掌握了大量其他技能。

Like, you know, you know how to do many, many things if you know how to select and mask an object.

随着这些技巧不断积累，你不仅节省了无数学习无用内容的时间，还能有效实现你想要创作的大部分东西。

As those techniques stack, you've not only saved yourself countless hours of learning nonsense, but you can effectively create most things that you set your mind to.

接下来是第二个洞见：我们需要理解大脑的渐进超载，因为技能是由重复和练习形成的神经通路组合而成的。

On to insight number two, we need to understand progressive overload of the mind because skills are groups of neural pathways that form with repetition and practice.

所以，如果技能是一组神经通路，那么一个技巧就可以看作是单个神经通路。

So if skills are a group of these neural pathways, we can think of a technique as a single neural pathway.

它们是技能拼图中的一小块。

They are a single piece of the skill puzzle.

当你收集到足够多的碎片，能够看到拼图所要呈现图像的80%时，你就能推断出大部分实现成果所需的知识。

And when you collect enough pieces to the point of seeing 80% of the image that the puzzle is trying to create, you can infer most of what you need to know in order to see results.

所以，如果你把技能想象成一个拼图，还没拼好的拼图就是你正在学习的技能。

So if you think of a puzzle, right, the puzzle that isn't put together yet is the skill that you're trying to learn.

一旦你把所有拼图块拼在一起，能看到完整的图像时，你就掌握了这项技能。

And once it's once you can actually see the full image by putting the puzzle pieces together, that's when you've mastered the skill.

但通过学习这些技巧，你正在一点点拼好拼图，直到看到50%、60%、80%的图像。

But by learning these techniques, you're you're putting together little pieces on the puzzle until you reach fifty, sixty, 80% of seeing the image.

从那里开始，你就能推断出它最终会是什么样子。

From there, you can infer what it's going to look like.

对吧？

Right?

即使有空缺的地方，你也会想：哦，好吧，我能大致想象出这里正在发生什么。

Even the empty spot, you can think, oh, okay, I can kind of form an image of what's trying to happen here.

技能习得也是同样的道理。

The same thing happens with skill acquisition.

你学得越多，进步就越快。

The more you learn, the more effective you get very quickly.

举个例子，如果你正在学习说西班牙语，并且掌握了一些表达技巧，你可以说：‘我能买水吗？’

As an example, if you're trying to speak Spanish and you understand a few techniques to use to speak Spanish, you can say something like, what can I buy water?

大多数人会明白你想表达的意思。

And most people will understand what you're trying to say.

对吧？

Right?

你不需要精确地说‘哪里买瓶装水最好’，因为他们能推断出你的意思。

You don't have to exactly say where is the best place to buy water bottles because they can infer what you're trying to say.

你算是精通这项技能了吗？

Are you a master at the skill?

不算。

No.

你还在继续练习吗？

Are you continuing to practice?

是的。

Yes.

但你仍然可以做点什么。

But you can still do something.

你仍然可以朝着目标取得进展。

You can still make progress toward the goal.

你并没有受阻。

You're not blocked.

你并不是因为缺乏实现自己想要做的事情所需的技能而无所作为。

You're not just sitting around doing nothing because you don't have any form of the skill to actually do the thing you want to do.

现在我们需要看一下一个更困难的例子，因为像弹吉他、学习Photoshop或学习西班牙语这些都没有任何风险。

Now we need to take a look at a more difficult example because something like playing the guitar or learning Photoshop or learning Spanish, those don't have any risk.

对吧？

Right?

它们与你的自我价值、自尊或生存本身并无关联。

They're not tied to your self worth or your ego or your survival per se.

所以如果我们来看赚钱的例子，你会说赚钱是一种技能，或者无法赚钱是一种技能问题。

So if we look at the example of making money, you say making money is a skill or being unable to make money is a skill issue.

人们开始变得疯狂，因为他们觉得：不，这不是技能问题。

And people start to go insane because they're like, no, it's not a skill.

它是由这个、这个和这个决定的。

It's determined by this, this, this and this.

我受到压迫，我无法学习任何能让我赚更多钱的东西。

And I'm oppressed and I can't I can't learn anything that would allow me to make more money.

在交新朋友或建立关系时，情况也是如此：当你的自我形象、情绪、生存需求以及你对自我身份的认知——我想我已经说过这一点了——开始介入时，各种干扰就会不断涌现在你脑海中，让你连第一步都迈不出去。

And the same thing happens here with like making new friends or getting into relationships is that when your self image and your emotions and your survival and your sense of who you are, I think I already said that, when those come into play, all of these distractions stop start popping into your mind, then you can't even take the first step toward doing the thing.

正如我们之前讨论的，控制你能控制的事情，你可以通过练习将这一点做到非常熟练。

As we talked about previously, control what you can control, and you can practice that to the point of becoming very good at it.

但关于金钱，对大多数人来说，很难把金钱看作是自己可以直接掌控的东西，因为他们背负着根深蒂固的条件反射，他们的思维被老师、父母以及其他生活经历所塑造，影响了他们对金钱的认知。

But the thing about money is that most people for most people, it's difficult for them to see money as something within their direct control because they carry the burden of conditioning, their mind being programmed by their teachers, their parents, and other life experiences that influence their perception of money.

虽然你无法控制这些条件，但你可以控制自己对这些冲动的反应——当有人告诉你‘赚钱是一种技能’或‘主动结识新人是一种技能’时，你立刻产生负面反应，从而阻止自己行动。

And while you can't control that, you can control your reaction to those impulses that pop up when someone says making money is a skill or going up and talking to new people is a skill, and you instantly react in some negative way prevent yourself from doing it.

但请记住，你可以控制自己的反应，仅这一点就是一种技能，它能让你更快地掌握其他许多技能。

But remember, you can control how you react, and that alone is a skill that will allow you to learn many other skills faster.

如果你能剥开所有这些关于金钱以及你人生中其他想要达成目标的非理性想法，这些想法正在干扰你的判断，阻碍你付诸行动、真正开始去做这件事。

If you were to peel back all of these irrational thoughts that are just clouding your head around money and other things that you want to achieve in your life, the things that are preventing you from execution and actually starting doing the thing.

你会意识到，赚钱的能力其实可以学得非常快。

You would realize that the ability to make money can be learned extremely fast.

我不是在说那种暴富速成的套路，比如：这是个商业模式。

I'm not talking about a get rich quick scheme type of fast because that's like, here's a business model.

拿去吧。

Take this.

别去学任何东西。

Don't learn anything.

照着我做的完全复制一遍，然后一直做下去，直到你快速致富。

Copy exactly what I was doing and then continue doing that until you get rich quick.

那些方法都不管用。

Those don't work.

我的意思是，赚钱本身，以及构成赚钱或商业运作的那些技能，如果你不让自己的思绪被干扰而偏离目标，是能够学得非常快的。

What I'm saying is that making money, the skills that can pose what making money or business is can be learned extremely fast if you don't let your mind distract you away from that thing.

这就像投三分球一样。

It's just like hitting a three pointer.

对吧？

Right?

一个刚拿起篮球、连运球都 barely 做好的新手，投中三分球全靠运气，但职业球员却能命中99%的投篮。

A beginner that has just picked up a basketball and can barely dribble, it's it's gonna be all luck for him to hit a three pointer, but a pro can hit it 99% of the time.

现在，商业领域的专业人士，那些年收入上亿、估值达十亿美元的人，你甚至不需要亲自到场就能赚到改变人生的钱。

Now a professional at business or whatever it is, the people who are making a 100,000,000 plus or have billion dollar valuations, you don't even have to be there to make life changing money.

对吧？

Right?

你只需要完成20%、30%或40%的进度，而这在六个月内就能做到。

You have to be 20% or 30% or 40% of the way there, and that can be done within six months.

只要你能专注六个月，学习并练习赚钱所需的技能，这六个月就足以改变你的人生。

Six months is all you need to change your life if you can simply focus for that amount of time on learning the techniques you need and practicing them to make money.

当你掌握了20%到30%到40%的技能时，你就能年入十万、二十万、三十万美元。

You get to 20 to 30 to 40% of the skill learned and you can make 100,000 a year, 200, 300.

这可能是一个相当稳妥的范围。

It's probably a solid range.

大多数人试图赚到这个数额，并且他们以为必须达到100%的水平。

That that's what most people are trying to make, and they assume they have to reach that 100% level.

他们觉得自己得成为职业NBA球员，但其实你在商业上根本不需要走到那一步。

They have to be the professional NBA player when you don't even care about getting that far in business.

你并不是在追逐一家初创公司的独角兽估值。

You're not chasing a unicorn valuation of a startup.

有几个人告诉我，我特别擅长把事情拆解得简单明了，让人觉得没那么可怕。

I've had a few people tell me that I'm very good at breaking things down and making them seem like they aren't that daunting.

关于赚钱，我也同样意识到这一点。

And it's the same thing with money because I've realized that myself.

所以如果你想赚钱，就从目标开始。

So if you want to make money, you start with the purpose.

为了赚钱。

To make money.

要赚钱，你需要什么？

In order to make money, what do you need?

一样可以卖的东西，和一个愿意购买的人。

Something to sell and someone to buy it.

如果你不知道该卖什么，那就去寻找专门的知识，学习如何产生一个盈利的产品创意。

If you don't have an idea on what to sell then you go and search for specific knowledge that teaches you about coming up with a profitable product idea.

如果你想要这样的东西，我之前写过很多了。

If you want something like that, I've written many of them before.

我会在下面的描述中链接一个，那是一个关于创建产品的超级指南。

I'll link one in the description below, which is like a mega guide to creating a product.

如果你在这一过程中继续抑制自己的思维，最终就会把产品做出来。

Now if you continue to keep your mind at bay during this process, you end up building the product.

我接触过许多创作者、企业与品牌，当他们刚开始时，都有一个产品创意。

I've worked with many creators, many businesses, many brands, and when they're just starting out, they have this product idea.

然后一年后，我问他们：嘿，这个产品在哪？

And then a year later, I asked them, hey, where's this product?

他们说：‘哦，我根本还没开始做它。’

And they're like, oh, I didn't even start building it.

如果你没有可以销售的产品或服务，你就没有赚钱的机会。

You don't have the chance to make any money if you do not have a product or service to sell.

这很明显，但你的思维只是在阻碍你，而你还没有掌握这项技能。

It's quite obvious, but your mind is just getting in the way and you haven't mastered that skill.

但现在你已经有了产品，或者你走了另一条路。

But now you have a product or you went the other way.

你先做了别的事情。

You did something else first.

这没关系。

That's fine.

假设你已经有了一个产品。

Let's say you have a product.

现在你却没有买家。

Now you don't have people to buy it.

那么你开始研究什么？

So what do you start researching?

如何获取流量？

How to generate traffic?

你发现可以建立个人品牌。

You find out that you can start a personal brand.

你可以发布社交媒体内容。

You can post social media content.

你可以做搜索引擎优化。

You can do SEO.

你可以进行冷启动外联。

You can do cold outreach.

你可以做Facebook广告。

You can do Facebook ads.

你有这么多不同的方法可以使用。

You have all of these different techniques that you can use.

这些方法都有效。

All of them work.

有些方法在你特定的情况下比其他方法更好。

Some are better than others only in the context of your specific situation.

对于没有钱的人来说，投Facebook广告可能不是最明智的选择。

For someone who doesn't have any money, then Facebook ads may not be the wisest idea to go for.

如果你刚入门，那么社交媒体可能是更好的选择。

If you're just a beginner, then it's probably social media.

我以前多次提到过这一点。

I've talked about this many times before.

社交媒体、个人品牌，或者类似的东西，你不需要花钱，你的成功完全取决于你的能力。

Social media, personal brand, something of that nature where you don't have to spend anything and your success is completely dependent on your skill.

我之所以喜欢社交媒体，是因为它纯粹是技能高超者之间的竞技场。

That's the thing I love about social media in general is that it's just a battleground for people who have the highest skill.

如果你在社交媒体上表现不好，你可以怪算法，怪其他因素，但我敢保证，95%的问题在于你还不够优秀。

If you aren't doing well on social media, you can blame the algorithm, you can blame other things, but I guarantee you 95 of the problem is that you just aren't good enough.

而且，你之所以在考虑算法和其他各种事情，甚至想放弃，是因为你还没有掌控自己的内心。

And again, the reason you're thinking about the algorithm and all of these other things and considering quitting is because you haven't mastered your mind.

正是这些不断涌现的情绪和所有消极的想法，影响了你做好工作的能力。

And that alone, all of these emotions that are circulating, all of these negative thoughts are impacting your ability to do good work.

所以你的技能，我们来认真说说，这里有个关键点，对吧？

So your skill, let's actually There's something here, right?

我一直在说，你必须掌控自己的内心。

I keep saying that you have to master your mind.

它会分散你对这些事情的注意力，而你会学会这项技能。

It can distract you from all these things and you learn this skill.

这里有一个概念，即你所拥有的技能可以处于某个特定水平。

There's some concept here where the skills that you do have can be at a specific level.

你可以在Photoshop上达到50分的水平，但如果你在压力、焦虑和这些消极想法与情绪造成的负面、狭隘的心态下使用这项技能，你的技能水平会大幅下降。

You can be at level 50 in Photoshop, but if you are trying to perform, if you're trying to use that skill from a negative and narrow state in your head caused by stress, anxiety, all of these negative thoughts and emotions, that skill level decreases by a lot.

当你处于紧张状态时，你操作Photoshop的水平只有10分，但当你保持平静时，你实际上是有50分的水平。

You're operating at a 10, a level 10 on Photoshop when you're actually a level 50 when you operate from a place of calm.

所以这就像双重打击，对吧？

So it's like a double whammy, right?

你学了这么多关于商业的知识，但因为你的思维过于狭隘且压力重重，你仍然觉得自己是个新手。

You've learned all of this stuff about business, but since your mind is just super narrow and stressed out, you're you still feel like a beginner.

那么，这如何体现为心智的渐进超负荷呢？

Now, how is this progressive overload of the mind?

因为如果你想卧推315磅，假设卧推315磅就相当于赚到一百万美元。

Because if you want to bench press 315 pounds, let's say benching 315 pounds is the same as making a million dollars.

你不会一上来就把315磅的重量放在杠铃上，然后拼命硬撑，甚至可能把自己搞死，尤其是当你从未举过任何重量的时候。

You don't start by putting 315 pounds on the bar and just crushing yourself and probably dying, especially when you've never lifted a single weight in your life.

不，你不会这么做的。

No, you don't do that.

你会从空杠开始。

You start with the bar.

等空杠变得轻松后，再加10磅的杠铃片。

And then once that becomes easy, then you add 10 pound plates on.

然后再加上10磅，再加45磅。

Then you add another 10 pounds, then 45.

然后在三年左右的时间里，具体时间取决于你的专注程度。

And then over the course of three years, potentially more, depending on how focused you are.

对吧？

Right?

如果一个人不分心，不乱做其他锻炼，也不频繁换训练计划，他其实可以很快达成315磅的卧推。

Many people can speed run hitting 315 pounds on a bench if they don't get distracted and start doing all of these other exercises and switching training programs and other things.

如果你一心只想着卧推315磅，你达成目标的速度会远超那些体能很好、每天去健身房、做所有正确事情的人——因为你专注目标，精准调整关键变量，自然能更快实现它。

If you were solely focused on benching 315 pounds, you would hit it much faster than the guy who is very fit, goes to the gym every day, does all of the right things, but simply because you're focused on the goals and moving the levers and needles to reach that specific goal, then you're going to achieve it so much faster.

我已经在健身房练了十年。

I've been in the gym for ten years.

我根本不在乎能不能卧推315磅。

I don't give a shit about benching 315 pounds.

但我很强。

I'm strong.

我大概能卧推285磅。

I can probably bench, like, two eighty five.

我其实可能能卧推315磅。

I could actually probably bench three fifteen.

只是我太久没测试过了，但可能花了我三年时间。

I just haven't tested it in so long, but it could have taken me three years.

我还记得在高中刚开始练举重和放学后训练时，我和朋友杰里互相较劲。

I remember the first or second year that I started lifting in high school and after school weights, my friend Jerry and I were just going back and forth.

我们每天都去健身房。

We were in the gym every day.

我们只关心卧推。

All we cared about was bench.

到第二年的时候，我就达到了275磅的最大重量。

I got to two seventy five pound max, like by year two.

进步特别快，因为那正是我唯一在意的事。

It was extremely fast because that's all I cared about.

我的饮食也跟着调整了。

My nutrition followed that.

我的生活也围绕着这个展开。

My life followed that.

我当时在YouTube上只看如何举得更重的视频。

All I was watching on YouTube was how to lift more.

同样的道理也适用于技能习得和实现你人生中的目标。

The same thing applies with skill acquisition and achieving the goal you want to achieve in your life.

第三点洞察是快速学习所缺失的关键要素。

Now, insight number three is a missing ingredient to learning absurdly fast.

那就是，快速学习需要纯粹的专注，纯粹的专注。

And that's that rapid learning requires pure focus, pure focus.

我认为当今世界很多人其实从未真正体验过这种状态。

I don't think many people in today's world have actually experienced that.

纯粹的专注。

Pure focus.

只有你和任务，以及你正在学习的技能。

Just you and the task and the skill you're trying to learn.

没有杂念，没有情绪，没有分心，而任何拉走你注意力的人、事、物都是分心源。

No thought, no emotion, no distraction, and a distraction is any person, place, or thing that pulls any thread of attention away from your goal.

你 literally 消失了，与现实融为一体。

You literally cease to exist and you become one with reality.

输入与输出合而为一。

Input and output merge.

进入你大脑的每一条信息，都会瞬间转化为现实中的原材料，就像钥匙与锁一样契合。

Every slice of information that goes into your brain is instantly transformed into raw material that is put into reality like a lock and key.

你进入一个高度专注的阶段，你的思维完全聚焦于一个明确的目标。

You enter a period of intensity where your mind collapses on a clear goal.

模式识别能力被彻底激活。

Pattern recognition kicks into overdrive.

书籍、内容、音乐和对话都获得了全新的维度。

Books, content, music, and conversations gain an entirely new dimension.

现实始终是，也将永远是灵感的源泉，而你不会被任何干扰拉离与当下真实的连接。

Reality becomes a source of inspiration as it always has been and will be, but you don't have distractions pulling you away from that connection with what is.

对大多数人来说，大多数时候，这种情况并不会发生。

For most of the time, for most people, this doesn't happen.

对吧？

Right?

学习是一种你讨厌的缓慢煎熬。

Learning is a slow grind that you hate doing.

在这种情况下，你可能会受益于我之前创建的一个提示，即一个深度工作教练，它能帮助你规划深度工作时段并进入心流状态。

In that case, you may benefit from a prompt I've created before, which is a deep work coach that helps you structure your deep work sessions and get into the flow state.

同样，这个提示也在描述中。

Again, that's in the description as well.

但如果这就是你的情况——如果学习只是一场缓慢的煎熬，那么我有一个小技巧，能让我自己进入高速运转模式，极大提升专注力。

But if this is you, if if learning is just a slow grind, there is one trick that I like to deploy that kind of kicks myself into overdrive and really narrows in my focus.

当我的内心充满矛盾时，我就会使用这个工具。

I deploy this tool when my mind is filled with dissonance.

对吧？

Right?

当我厌倦了目前的生活时，我对自己想要成为的样子有一个相对清晰的想法，但却卡在了中间。

When I'm I'm tired of the life that I've been living, I have an idea, a somewhat clear idea of where I want to be, but I'm just like stuck in the middle.

我有一种方法能让我摆脱这种状态，开始朝着我想成为的人学习。

I have something that kicks me out of that and gets me to start learning towards who I want to become.

这个方法我以前提到过，叫做战术性压力。

And that tool is something I've talked about before, which is called tactical stress.

这是一种环境设计的形式。

And this is a form of environment engineering.

我自己曾经在两周内学会了After Effects这个非常复杂的软件，因为我把YouTube视频里充满了我不会做但又想做的分镜和动画。

For myself, I was able to learn After Effects, a very complex software within two weeks because I filled my YouTube video with storyboard and animations that I didn't know how to create, but I wanted to.

对吧？

Right?

关键是，我必须每周都发布YouTube视频。

And the thing about this is that I have to put out YouTube videos every week.

这是我的一部分。

It's a part of who I am.

这与我的生存息息相关。

It's tied to my survival.

这与我的收入紧密相连。

It's tied to my income.

到目前为止，这与我的自我认同密不可分。

It's tied to my sense of identity at this point.

所以如果我不发布视频，混乱就会加剧。

So if I don't put a video out, then entropy releases.

对吧？

Right?

事情会变得越来越混乱。

Things start to get more chaotic.

对吧？

Right?
