Currently in my early thirties, living with my parents, working a nine to five dead end job, little to no friends and single without a dating background thanking you for your genuine take on all things self improvement. 👍🏼
I dated a Polish girl last year and learned a surprising amount of Polish in the 6 months we were together. We sadly split up, but I went to Kraków afterwards anyway. One of the highlights of my trip was ordering a coffee "poproszę kawę z mlekiem owsianym", quietly sitting in the coffee shop enjoying the coffee, then once I'd finished saying to the (admittedly very attractive) barista "dziękuję bardzo, było to najlepsze kawa w Krakowie", which put a huge smile on both our faces 😁
"Get comfortable with being uncomfortable" a motto im trying to re-teach my self now. I relate to your story heavily, glad i found your channel keep up the good work 👍
"Train yourself to view discomfort as a positive experience" "Find an almost perverted pleasure in the stress that comes with growth. When you do this, success will become an inevitability. Most of us avoid discomfort, the but the few who learn to enjoy it as unstoppable."
This is what self improvement should be. Valuable insights and lessons that everyone can apply. Not some red pill garbage. Love the content mate. Keep it up!
If I do something for the first time or just something that I'm not comfortable with, I always step back, breath in and out, count to 3 and just go do it. 9/10 I embarrass myself and I'm OK with that. I cringe a little, laugh it off and move on to try again. The key to be successful in any thing is action followed by more action. My great sir, you did not fail to deliver. You are going to have 50K subscribers in no time. Have a wonderful and beautiful day !
I learned that being self-aware and light-hearted about your failures helps a lot. If you can laugh it off, it makes the situation less awkward for everyone involved and doesn't stick in your memory quite as much.
The funniest of embarrassing moments is when, at the time…you have no clue that you should be embarrassed. We went to eat at HMart’s food hall where they called out your name before they went to giving you a number (they had just opened too). So I gave the lady my name. She gave me gaze like, “are you kidding me?!” With her stern look & the lady in the next stall giggling as they quipped back and forth for a minute. I was annoyed but said nothing. At the time, I thought they were irritated with me being an American and felt unwelcome and awkward as heck. I only realized later that it was my name. My name shortened means one hundred but my full name means rubbish or trash. When we returned, I talked with lady and apologized and explained that it was actually my name. She was relieved that I wasn’t messing with her and I decided to use another name.
The first time I made sushi for paying customers, I felt just like you. I was a young white girl and the chef I trained under had told me that in Japan, women are forbidden from making the sushi because our hands are too warm. I was so nervous, kept forgetting the Japanese terms for the foods I was preparing 😮 But I did it hundreds of times thereafter and now it feels so natural.
Hey, loved this video. Your story telling is great and the message was fantastic. Apart from that i will yap for a moment here. I wanted to say that as a Polish person the few sentences that you said during the video were kind of good, like i'm impressed, even if it's just the basics. And for anyone who is reading this and trying to learn a language it's important to speak and you sohuldn't care THAT much when you make a mistake. Everybode does them, heck i make mistakes in my native language too. They ain't gonna laugh at you, they're gonna be impressed. Thanks for reading that yapping session.
Honestly - at first I was like, “Get on with it!” And then I got interested and engaged. Then I appreciated the story and how the lesson tied in. So now the next time I won’t have any hesitation at the beginning because I know you’ll tie it all together 👍
You're storytelling is immaculate man, the part where you forgot even the number 5 had me in tears 😭. And I'm commenting to let you know that this type of content (sharing story then lesson) is spot on. You should stick to this. Plus you're voice is very soothing as well.
I need to take a moment and say that you are becoming one of my favorite creators lately, as you provide simple yet powerful information in an educated way. Thank you for that!
Oh yes, this video helped me after 6 months of perfectionism paralysis. Thank you so much! :) You are indeed brilliant and your channel brings huge value to our lives! 💕
I can relate to your story in Polish as I live in the Czech republic which also has a high learning curve to learning their language. I was exactly the same as you in the beginning but I stuck at it. It took me about 10 years of steady learning to become comfortable in most situations. However, I still get caught out when I don't understand a phrase or dialect or some word. But the confidence came from the constant exposure. I would say languages have so many nuances and subtleties it's really hard to succeed in all scenarios even if you are 100% confident!
I moved from Germany to Poland some ten years ago to be with my Polish husband. I probably have an unending reserve of stories I could tell about awkwardly forgetting how to speak, losing my nerve and running out of the establishment in a panic, frantically trying to communicate with sign language, and feeling ashamed because the native I was trying to speak to thought I was an idiot because in terms of looks I perfectly blend in to my surroundings but I couldn't even get the simplest of sentences right. Awkwardness, embarassment, and shame were what I paid for what would eventually be fluency in Polish and living in a beautiful country with kind and warm hearted people. We just celebrated our 11th anniversary this month.
I found one of your videos and instantly fell in love with this page. Immediate subscription. Such valuable information that isn't taught when you're in schools. You're taught English but you're never really taught how to communicate. Love all the content, keep it up!🎉🎉
Went to Japan this May, and one of my goals of this trip is to try ordering things or even just communicate w locals in Japanese. My Japanese is no way near fluent, I've just started learning so I didn't even know the basic grammar. My favorite memory of this trip is how I successfully bought some desserts in a really crowded shop in Kyoto, without help from my friend who's N1 level. I only used some really simple words but it still encourages me so much, how I can understand the clerk and come up with my reply😊
Found your channel the other day and I've been watching your videos as a welcome part of my preparation for beginning graduate school in the fall, and I also opted in to your newsletter (your note about giving advice from today's letter is great). Can't recommend it enough to anyone who hasn't signed up for it. Regarding this video format, I like the storytelling and where it is in the video. The abstract concepts are more digestible since there's something concrete to refer back to. Thank you for doing what you do sir!
I really enjoyed this. These sorts of basics are the stuff that I've heard before, but a reminder with a story helps me remember to apply it more often. Thank you.
I’m an Argentinean engineer, trying to land a job in Australia. I recently had to expose an study case for directors in a interview process, and I can tell this. Before, nerves smacked me every time I had to make an interview, now I’m not struggling anymore. My comfort zone just expanded.
it's just very positive overall to listen to you on your journey, sincerity and commitment are very visible/audible. Create what you think is most interesting. By the way - nice Polish, but there is really no good point in learning it so good call.
Brilliant work, Im sure you were told your channel is underrated a bunch of times already... never thought i would learn so much from your stories. Keep going with your stories man you're a role model at this point. Cheers from Egypt !
I wish I'd seen this sooner. The way you've explained all of this really helps. Simply always being told "just be more confident" never helped, especially as I could always point out where/when I am super confident, like when talking to cashiers and such, but often freeze up with strangers on the street. Here's time hoping that this new perspective really helps like I hope it will
Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱✨ I’ve found your channel recently and binge watched most of the videos cause the content is so valuable and engaging at the same time 😊 Wish you best luck! 🤗
I’m glad you asked because I personally loved the short story. I think it’s a forgotten and looked over skill to be able to paint a story in people’s minds just using words like you just did. I would really love to get to that level some day to tell engaging stories to tell the people that I know. Great video! I’ve learned so much from you so far so thank you and keep it up!
Man I love your channel so much and I love that you’ll probably see this comment. I know eventually you’ll probably be too big to read through and interact with every single comment but for now I’m happy to express that with you. You’ve helped me develop my own personal philosophy a lot and you just seem to be a lot more genuine than other UA-camrs covering philosophy/psychology.
This reminds me of a conversation Jordan Peterson was having where he was talking about the archetype of the fool in literature and how it relates to the necessity of us asking/doing things we feel are foolish in order to learn important lessons from them. Dr Peterson then went on to talk about the need for having one foot in choas and one foot in order when learning. Otherwise, you can be easily overwhelmed by throwing yourself into the deep end. It is interesting to hear you talk about similar concepts and how you arrived at them on your own. I also like your summarisation of it as being willing to be vulnerable in the pursuit of knowledge. That is a nicely concise way to express this idea that feels like common sense but is very useful as we often need reminding of it
Confidence is not a skill you master, but a reward you get. Mastery in a craft starts with bravery, and then gradually moves into confidence the more you master the art.
I really enjoyed the story video. Your storytelling is impeccable. I really felt encapsulated in the experience as you were telling it. You set up the time for the video in an amazing way. Thanks for this one!
You hold a ton of wisdom my friend! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos and share it with us! Also, I did the story and lesson format. Your storytelling abilities are incredibly engaging! Keep it up man!
Lovely video I just had a similar experience of lacking confidence; I was supposed to explain my job, which I've been doing for almost 2 years, to a group of students. I kept imagining the scenario that I would do this and crack these jokes, and it would be amazing and make my boss happy, but in reality, I made an awfully stupid mistake and ruined the demo in front of everybody. I quickly summed up the presentation. The ending was better, but the mistake outweighed the good ending. The presentation would have been wonderful if I hadn't made that mistake. Now, I feel embarrassed in front of my colleagues, but I guess it is the price I had to pay to be more confident and think before acting. Although it seems slow and more incompetent, giving a correct answer can save so much more.
Dzień dobry! Your YT videos are dope! This video editing style is great. Nonverbal skills top notch! Rzodkiewki (radishes)- even I as a native had some trouble with spelling this correctly, total nightmare! ;-) Keep growing brotha'!
Its incredible and you are incredible my friends its hits perfectly from the story. Thank you so much for making such good content i really appreciate it.
If you told your girlfriend that you wanted to order, from the beginning, she would have been more supportive as you made your way around the market. I thought you didn't tell her because you wanted to suprise her, but then after that you told her at the blueberry section
Good morning! Thank you for the good information and encouragement. Yes, I am also Polish by descent, so I appreciate your stories. Have you been to Czestochowa? Also, may I ask what the medal is that you are wearing? I tried zooming in, but still couldn't make it out. God bless you!
Embarrassment is the cost of entry
Wooow, this is such a quote. I'll try to remember it.
My favouite quote sounds something like this: "The path you are ignoring and not willing to take could be the path where you'll find your purpose"
Idk what that path is either
@@JK-nj3bt you know, you just refuse to know
@@krejziks3398 no?
@@JK-nj3bt i meant when that path opens you trick yourself into believing it is not true path whether through shame or guilt or just fear.

I love how clear your storytelling is. It doesn't need any flashy editing and so I can listen to it like a podcast in the morning.
🥲 Thank you my fine sir.

The topics you are covering and the lessons are absolutely gold. You are the perfect coach.
