One of the wisest things I've done in my life is trying to learn English. I'm not fluent, but I can, with some difficulty, understand. And man, a world opened up to me! So many lectures, videos, classes, documentaries etc that I would not have access otherwise, because not everything has subtitles. This lesson is an example.

Truuee! If you have an internet connection and know basic english, the world's knowledge is available to you. I think, if information is free, wouldn't it multiply naturally? If every scientific paper and lecture would be required to be freely available online, wouldn't we see another golden age for scientific discoveries?

We need more lectures like this one. His emphasise that life is like juggling balls I.e. areas of your life is the most practical. This along with knowing what you want from all the balls you are juggling is essential.

Absolutely amazing content

The part where he says to sell his soul which obviously means to do something you don't like or hate for 30+ years is the Millenials' worse nightmare. That's one of the mistakes of my generation most go for the money which is common sense and fair enough.., but in reality, we should know a little about everything, that way we could decide which trade to take that fits the personality of the person and then squeeze its full potential at a long term.
