Jocko for President 2024! 🇺🇸 The guy has outstanding leadership qualities.

Reminds me of a quote from the Tao te Ching: "A leader is best when people barely know he exists, and when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves." In a sense, the teacher must trick the student into facing himself (i.e. fighting his ego); and upon learning the lesson, the student believes that he discovered this truth of his own accord. Real life philosophy like this - which is basically interpersonal psychology - is what builds personal strength and group unity. Two things we all really need right now.

Utterly useless bit of text, you do realize that, if no one can understand you but the "most intelligent" then what you are is not intelligent, but unintelligible. In order for what you wrote to be intelligible, you should define "facing himself" , define "lesson" in the subsequent context and explain why it is valuable that the student experiences this series of causes and effects. Otherwise, you are just a narcissistic idiot with a "look how clever I am"-profile picture leaving vague rambling quasi-intellectual comments on youtube.

@@Jack-yq6ui generally, you're right that it is the teacher's job to ensure the message is intelligible. To rephrase it, he's saying: When the teacher lets the student take credit for their improvement, they've improved the student both in ability and in confidence. The best of teachers can do this for their mentees without them realizing it.

@@Jack-yq6ui as a teacher who has seen many teachers fail at doing this very difficult act (and am not sure if I can say I've successfully done it either), I can attest that it is not as bland as you say. Indeed, I was just writing a sermon that intersects with this topic, where it could be argued that Christ may have taught a defenseless woman seeking assistance to represent herself, in a moment, to overcome prejudice. The original comment helped me to see this truth in what Christ had done for her. Had He made it plain to his disciples who were prejudiced against her that he was doing her this favor, they also would not have come to learn her worth, because they would have given all credit to Christ's teaching and none to her. This is a complex kind of charitable act, and one worth reflecting on, in my humble opinion.

Thank you, Jocko and Dave for sharing this. For about 5 years, I've been living with a close friend and he, as well as my family, kept pushing me to fix my attitude, but I never did, because of my negativity. I let out my bad attitude, even when I work. I've been fired four times for this and I haven't changed until NOW. I say now, because I'm not gonna let myself and others down anymore by moving forward and fixing my attitude, even when people are really worried about where I would lead myself to. I know life is hard, but I want my life to be happier and better throughout all the rest of my life. Otherwise, I would live in poverty, because of the attitude that I had before.

Bad attitudes are usually a sign of insecurity.

Imo ego is like fire. When controlled its one of the most useful elements for progress. Or it can reduce years of progress to nothing but ash. A big display can be lack of control and arrogance. It can also be a show of trust to other members of the team with big egos who wont respect you unless they know you have the fire on hand as needed. Some people can only perform when all the other egos in the room are doused. A controlled big display can be good for showing people you greatly respect that you are not a liability and you have the structural integrity for them to just be themselves. Always a dichotomy though. Real power is the power to let power go as needed. Ego is a lot like that. So you have to never run your flame up higher than what you know you can douse with x opposite modality, otherwise youre not in the drivers seat anymore, which does the opposite of establishing trust with the ppl you respect.

I had my “assignment ended” 3 weeks into my job it was really hard to go in every day I didn’t really fit in and I was let go because of bad attitude I started to wonder if I have an ego problem or an attitude problem it kind of crushed me

Great idea. I've seen this in kid's sports, where the coach puts a kid in the game at a clutch moment because of parents complaining...then kid flails and they lose. Potetic AF

Jocko, man I love your views. Do you have a direction or insight as to those of us who are forced to put work into convincing others to believe in the job that used to be a great job, but now is a job that could be solid but I’ll be gone before the job settles out and is what it will be?

Did anyone else look away, just listening and hear it as Jocko suddenly speaking in the 3rd person and think, " What's going on here?", only to find out his guest's voice is just that similar?

My wife keeps complaining she does all the cooking and cleaning up. I put her in charge. She gotta own this.

I would like to hear your best advice for how to help someone in the middle of a crisis. Examples; police officer to fellow police officer, police officer to public, and public to public.

As usual Jocko is dead on. However, in my experience… the other subordinates who despise this individual with the big ego will not like that you tasked this individual with a lead role, because this individuals ego will get even more puffed up and the others will be forced to work under this persons lead. If this situation is not handled well, things can become even more volatile… In principle Jocko is right. In practice there are always more elements at play.

when he gets off video games the hardest reconciliation will be the fact he wasted so many years doing it.He needs to understand he cant build productive habbits playing video games. He needs to be in tune with his desires. alot of kids are told wanting a beautiful wife is wrong , it objectifies women . The matter of fact is women are attracted to success. If he works hard he can get what he wants. He needs to understand this. guys who play video games are coping with their reality. Maybe their homelife is destroyed. Its important someone is there to talk to them, to see who they really are. Its important they find somewhere fertile to build good habbits like a family business or a farm. When he decides to make gains in real life he will blame his parents for allowing it to happen and showing only a grim perspective of life. In which case he will either be psychotic or have enough fortitude to suffer internally to be able to forgive. I urge parents to lead by taking ownership and ask for forgiveness for letting the situation become like this and then continuing to talk with him everyday to each a solution whilst showing them life is worth fighting for ; it is worth it to live.
