@peachiee1 2 года назад

you need to sort out your priorities my man

@fashionspy96 2 года назад

1) Spend your money on experiences and relationships 2) Stay scrappy, don't be a perfectionist 3) Know when to quit 4) Focus on your progress, rather than how far away you are from the ideal 5) Applying the 37% rule might be useful (explore 37% of the options and then commit) 6) There was no 6 😂 7) Forget the noun and do the verb. what matters is what you do, not what you "are" 8) What do i actually want from life? orient your day-to-day to this thing. 9) Delegating is hard, but so worth it. 10) everyone has "career risk", don't worry too much about it. bonus from me: develop your skills and you'll always have work opportunities. 11) You have 112 waking hours in the week. Allocate them wisely. 12) Embrace the suck, it WILL be sticky and shitty, it's supposed to be that way. Do it anyway. 13) Stop ordering takeaway. You'll probably get fat and/or damage your health. 14) What are the infinite games that you want to play? Enjoy the journey, not just the "destination". There might not be a "destination". (E.g. getting lean. You can't get there and stop working out and eating healthily). 15) The things other people say/think about you are not your responsibility. 16) Be yourself when dating. 17) Make sure you always have a kindle with you if you are in the habit of reading. 18) Learning languages through audiobooks might be more effective than other methods. Try it! 19) Often magic happens when you put in more work than anybody else. 20) Be okay with loving yourself for who you are, rather than what you do. 21) Question assumptions! Apply critical thinking in your life. 22) (maybe this was supposed to be number 6? 😂) Embrace life long learning!

Lesson 20 is a big one for me. Unconditional love. I always feel like I have to accomplish extreme things in order to deserve validation and love. For me accepting that I am fine the way I am is still work in progress, but awareness is one step in the right direction.

What Ali taught me in 2021: Even with great success in business or my career, the questions of who I am and how I want to live my life will still remain if I don't work on answering them.

@megangardner_science_and_art 2 года назад

You’re honestly such an inspiration. You spew out all this sensible and useful information all the time. I find myself telling my work colleagues or my ex-husband “well, Ali Abdaal says”. My ex is like “who is this Ali Abdaal” 😂😂 But my colleagues have looked at your videos after my recommendation and they have also been inspired by you. So keep it up 👍 👏🏽

@ux.semira 2 года назад

Subscribing to your RU-vid channel is still one of the major highlight of my 2021.. you’re so full of wisdom. The one lesson I’ve gotten from you is not dwelling so much on perfection or what people will think, just sharing your craft & document your journey.

@amoghjha5701 2 года назад

The 37% rule is also mentioned in "Algorithms to live by". Haven't read the book but seen a few blog posts and tweets about it. Nice book :)

@fashionspy96 2 года назад

About number 20: sometimes what you do and who you are are the same thing! Take generosity, for example: you "are" generous" because you act generously. Everything is an action. When you decide to hug someone after an argument to make things better and not leave the tension fester, you are "being" a kind person because you're acting kindly. Giving that hug is the thing that you're doing. So don't beat yourself up if you can't separate those two things. You are great because you do great things! It's just a matter of recognizing that small things are also great, like the hug example. It's not just about "big" things like winning an oscar or something like that.
