    The input-output approach you talked about helps so much not only with moving the needle, but also with healthier attitude towards mistakes, doesn't it? We can tell ourselves: 'It's not a mistake, it's an output' - and reach towards new input to improve, rather than getting stuck.

    I usually skip "habit" videos as they are often dry regurgitations of trite advice I've heard many times before. But I'm glad I watched this. Genuinely insightful articulations from a thoughtful mind. Thank you.

  • @seaweed627
    @seaweed627 2 місяці тому +2

    The whole video is insightful but the one point really hits home for me it's when you said "The point is not to prove that I'm intelligent, the point is to learn from them." I often feel like I'm not speaking intelligently, or asking stupid questions, but this quote has eliminate the shame or ego in these situation and focus on what's important.
    Really appreciate the material you put out here, very glad I stumble across your channel!

    I absolutely love your framework content and the community you have built here. Your ability to curate ideas, add your own valuable insights, and further the discussion is truly phenomenal. I often find myself skipping most mindset and habit videos a minute or two in because it’s clearly just a poorly repackaged copy of someone else’s idea. But yours always challenge me to look for practical applications and likeminded folks. Thank you! 🙏

    You are one of the best channels I’ve found in a long time. Your cafe is such an interesting idea, I can’t wait to experience one of it. My fear of being boring / look stupid has blocked me from reframing my stories to make them land better. Your second point has given me a different outlook on this! These are wonderful, and very unique habits - thank you for sharing them!

    One of the best on-camera presenters on UA-cam. It feels like she's talking to me one-on-one. A great talent and obviously passionate about continuous learning and sharing what she's learned with others. I subscribed before finishing the first of her videos.

    I've been watching this channel for 6 months now - and I'm a follower. I don't usually write any feedback or comments. Not only because I don't write well (but I'll look into your suggestion on writing course) but also because I don't think I'm adding anything new or useful. I'm also Chinese, and I guess many of things you covered (especially this episode) is almost counter-intuitive for our culture. We were taught to listen more and talk less, stay "low-profile", etc. BUT I definitely see your points about being open and taking definitive approaches to refining our thought processing and articulation for self-improvement - and on to a better / different level from where we are. Thank you for the wonderful content all along!

  • @jimglose3838
    @jimglose3838 Місяць тому

    Yes, I've heard the input/output cycle discussed before and it's so true. It's how we're built: we take in, but we really don't learn, understand, or make it ours until we've shared it in some form of output. I'm not a teacher, but it must be like teaching. Study, learn a subject but until you teach it, you haven't truly understood it or made it viable in your life. Once, the output occurs, a vacuum occurs and you need more input to fill i--on ongoing ever expanding and progressing cycle.

    PS: If someone cut you off, they might be very self-centered. I noticed it with the person I thought was my best friend for 7 years, for me I always listen since I love it, didn't noticed until shared something personal and put the focus on him instead. I then learned about the psychology of self-centered people and narcissist which saved me lots of time. If people are not as well interested in me, as I am in them. The connection won't work for me.

    i have struggled a lot with your idea about not starting a conversation because of the thought of not being able to add anything to the conversation . I have definitely got to improve the framing of my convos because I cant curate it fast enough for the type of person in front of me. i was amazed by your ideas of sandcastles and realized that I ve created so many in my life without having built any solid structure out of it. i have a great many layers of introspection to get to. thanks for putting this out for us. definitely, an insightful piece of art!

    I just discovered your channel and it has been a missing link to so much of the research and studying I have been doing over the past three years. I love the attitude and approach to learning and community. Finding others that are like minded and desire to have these kinds of conversations is something I am realizing consciously that I am aching for and have been aching for for quite some time. I will be doing my searches for the right communities as well as looking into joining some of your cafes and such. Instant subscribe and liking all the videos I’ve seen so far! 🎉

    The input out loop is what I was aiming for with my reading when I went back to school. I just couldn’t get myself into the routine of it. This is so helpful seeing what I wanted to happen explained in a way that makes sense! Going to retry since I know it can benefit my research!

  • @eesur
    @eesur 7 місяців тому +2

    Thanks, Vicky! Fantastic video to kick off the week. Your input > output > input model deeply resonates, enhancing the iterative process by incorporating creative connections that remain receptive to new inputs. For example, in the art of pour-over coffee, every attempt not only improves the next but also perfects the mastery of the brew. However, you've illustrated how this feedback loop can extend beyond simple refinement, igniting diverse connections. Brilliantly articulated!

      Absolutely! The quality is far superior to most business and career vloggers.
      It seems that are pacing your speaking more consciously so that it is easier to digest your comments. In many of your early videos , the speed with which you spoke made it more challenging to hear, internally conceptualize and consider your insights or explanations.
      Would it be difficult to include a transcript?

    As for the last habit, I've actually found it just recently as well and tried it out and think it's improved my energy levels throughout the day? Though right now I'm running a little "experiment" with no caffeine whatsoever for a week, and... weirdly enough I don't feel much of a difference 😅I guess I've just built up so much tolerance over the years (which I've been suspecting for a while) that caffeine doesn't affect me as much anymore.

    Vicky, I may be trippin', but in all the videos I have watched of you over the years, I think you purposely speed up your videos. They sound needlessly too fast. Talk to us in your natural voice and SLOW DOWN. When I watch you, it's like I hear you chirping super-fast on 1.25x speed through videos. Youre too good to have to do this. We will listen to you in normal talking pace...DONT SPEED THINGS UP! I feel like im in a race with you to get to the end of the video.

      She likely read somewhere that 1.25 speed is the 'optimum' speed for public consumption or that 11-12 mins is the 'optimum' view time so quickens the video in places. She lives her life through self-improvement books.
      Being comfortable with your authentic self and working on the desire for constant validation and acceptance is the path to a better life, not 'hacking' your speech, 'hacking' your interactions and 'hacking' your job.

    Have you tried not analysing how you converse and just be yourself? I love my friends who ramble, while I find people who over-categorise everything to be super annoying. Especially if they manipulate thier interactions with others to ensure things 'land' with the other person. I want to be chilled with my friends and loved ones, not be 'worked' or used as experiments for lucidity.
    This feels like toxic self-improvement/viewing all of reality through the lens of self-productivity.

    The only part I have to disagree with is near the beginning of your part 2. I don't know if I would have called that person a "friend" as much as just an acquaintance or someone in your network. I think a real friend can take the attitude of, "This excites you, and I love to see you glow! I may not have an interest in it, but if you are happy, I want to encourage you!", not "OMG, this is sooooo boring. Can we talk about me now?" I'm glad your number one change was to find new friends, and I hope her hotel in Paris was terrible.
