    I really struggeled to switch my subject two times, had to pause several times due to health issues. I felt so behind. Now im training people at work older than me. Everybody struggles somewhere. Keep on going and enjoy the happiness and peace not only when things are going great, but when they are simply not bad.

    Wowwwww!!!!! I am just stunned at the timing of this video. There's this constant train of thought running in circles in my mind about how I want to become an astrophysicist, who obviously need to have top-notch thinking capabilities in maths, physics, geometry (and hence also about how multiple things of multiple wierd shapes and sizes fit together with each other), etc., etc., etc., meanwhile here I am, sitting in sadness after failing for the 2nd time on my driving test because I couldn't reverse on a narrow curved single-lane path.

      Well, thanks a lot for your words of encouragement.
      By the way, I somehow forgot to add an important detail- I said I was stunned at the timing, because the driving test was today (by the way I live in +5:30 GMT Zone, if the timings are confusing). As in, I went to the test in the late morning early afternoon period, I messed up, was sitting in sadness throughout the late afternoon early evening period, and then this video.
      Sometimes it just feels like UA-cam is really listening in on us at all times and pushing notifications for videos accordingly, but then I see the "uploaded 30 min.s ago" or something.

    Some points to remember as a 52 year old retired person. Remember satisfaction and fulfillment are a personal responsibility. Take the time to do something that is fulfilling do it with passion take as much risk as you can. Never look back with regret. When you have enough get out and live your best life on your terms.

    Yeah, that's true. I feel it from time to time, but if I look at where I started and where I am now, it's already a great result. But people always want more. I guess it's our nature. So, let's not judge ourselves so harshly, we are already good for having taken this path of self development. It's already worth a lot

    To be honest I feel this every day. I used to be the best at coding in my circle, even if I started just 2 years ago. And now at age of 23 I got into one of the best universities in the Netherlands from my home country Romania and on of my cohort mates is always in the Advent of Code leader boards each year. Even though compared to when I started I am one of the best at what I am doing, also studying a double degree in Math and Computer Science, I struggle a lot when it comes to this. So I appreciate you for doing this video as we all should start enjoying the fact that we have so much to learn from people who are better than us.

    Students go to MIT should be aware that hard working and learning alone are not adequate substitution for talent. Especially, in mathematics you have to be born for it.

    • @michaelwangCH
      @michaelwangCH 16 годин тому

      @quantumspark343 I see, you love physics. But one critical point should be aware of - that is the mathematics is overused in physics. In clear text, the maths is a powerful tool to discover patterns in the experimental data, therefore the maths will give you a shortcut to formulate physics laws, without truthly understanding physics. resp. the reasoning behind those laws why they even exist.

    • @ege8240
      @ege8240 5 годин тому

      thats quite opposite to reality. infact, mit or other top students usually realise that 'talent' isnt comparable to hardwork, no one is going to be able solve any meaningful problem without learning the basics, no matter how 'smart' they are. think of it this way, someone who wasnt taught calculus might solve a differential theorem, but it will take their entire life time since they will need to prove calculus from sketch, which is exactly what newton did. he didnt just come up with a solution because he was born for it, he worked hard. he obsessed.
      and there is no proof for general intelligence, on such a sophisticated topic, you should stick to scientific facts instead of hollywood explanation of 'being born for it'. there is no maths gene.

    hey @SamuelBosch I completely get you, as someone who used to struggle with this when I was younger, I stopped struggling when I realized that no matter what you do, you there will always be someone who is better and worse than you. There are 8 billion people on the planet, it is basically an infinite space and so it is just unhealthy to compare yourself to others. Also I realized that life is too short and what counts is just being happy and having lived a life worth living.

    What if someone who dreamed of becoming a topper but at a young age was kind of average in his studies and didn't think of getting high marks in tests? As time passed, now he is in university, his peers are having above 9+ CGPA, and he is still struggling to get 6.5+ and now feels depressed about not getting used to studying. He is now struggling to get marks (here marks are more prioritized rather than the physical or implementation of theoretical knowledge). He knows the concepts and how things work but struggles to write them effectively on paper and is feeling behind and like a loser.
    All I do is focus on the physical implementation, and by-hearting or memorizing things is hard for me. If I understand a concept, then I won't forget it, but sometimes it's difficult to understand all concepts of all subjects. When exam comes, I end up messing up.

I will always strive to give my best, and also I'll be flexible. Please let me know if this is a good mentality in me! 🙂

    Weirdly, the numbers of both tables both times add up to exactly 100% … One may not see the problem here, but to answer "How many percent of STEM students get their Degree by Math SAT tertile", there is no reason at all to assume it must add up to 100% among the tertiles, which it does.
    Therefore, I believe the table is misinterpreted, but not by you but by Malcom Gladwell, who probably invented this rumour. He once held a speech with the same statistic but (oddly) did not specify on his slides what the numbers mean. He concluded the same as you did, but probably fitted the meaning of the data (i.e. changed what it stood for) to support his argument.
    I don't blame you, since Gladwell was the inventor of this lie. If you are aware, could you cite the study. Then we would be able to see what these statistics were actually supposed to capture.

    • @lex6709
      @lex6709 День тому +1

      Isn't that just calculate (number of graduates / total number of students = Z) for each group A, B, and C and then express Z_a, Z_b, and Z_c as percentiles?

    • @Vincent-z3n
      @Vincent-z3n День тому

      @@lex6709 to calculate the graduation rate for each group, you would divide the n. of graduates in the tertile group x by the n. of students in tertile group x, which the argument of Gladwell is based on ("How good you are relative to your peers determines your success probability, not how good you are in general").
      You are right in that your formula was presumably the one used by the researchers. However, it does not support the argument by Gladwell and he, I believe, intentionally misled the audience by changing the meaning of the data. I believe this because in his original speech, Gladwell showed no title of the table.
      Did I miss something?
