Summary: Aligning Values and Desires: To lead a fulfilling life, it's essential to align your values with your desires. When your values and goals are in sync, you can tackle meaningful challenges step by step, leading to a sense of fulfillment. Shifting Hierarchy of Values: Your hierarchy of values can change over time due to various influences, including upbringing, experiences, and role models. What you desire and prioritize can evolve as you grow, and it's crucial to be aware of these shifts. Desire as a Motivator: Deep, intrinsic desire is a powerful motivator that helps overcome procrastination and fuels dedicated efforts. External pressures or expectations can lead to burnout and unhappiness if they don't align with your true desires and values. It's important to fully understand and embrace your chosen path for lasting satisfaction. Video Transcript: We've got all these voids that creates our desires, to shape our actions, to go and achieve. When we have our values that aligns, to chase those voids, that has meaningful challenges that we can step by step overcome and gives us fulfillment, that's probably the best path to continue in life for me. Normally my hierarchy of values is pride. And I know it sounds bad, but greed I just want to preface this. Nothing is bad. It's how you use it. It's like all your values are double edged sword. Everyone has traits of all of the values talked about. It's how you use it and how you benefit other people and yourself. That makes it good or bad. And also when you actually take a step back and look at all the events that have actually happened, there is as much good and also there is as much bad in every single event that has happened in your life. The reason why you see certain events as bad in your life, for example, there is a past negative perceived event that happened to you that you haven't consciously gone back and seen positive sides of that because if you actually go and look back at it, everything's synthesized very

Summary: 1. Efficient Learning is Essential: Many people inefficiently spend long hours on lectures and use ineffective methods for learning. The key is to learn efficiently by actively addressing knowledge gaps and using deep encoding of information. 2. Broad Understanding of Subjects: To excel in learning, take a broader view of the subjects you need to cover. Identify what you know and what you don't know to focus your efforts effectively. Regularly revisit and wrestle with information to enhance long-term retention. 3. Flexible Learning Approach: Avoid rigid schedules and instead, recall and review your knowledge regularly. By actively identifying and addressing decaying knowledge, you can use your time efficiently. The goal is to maximize your learning within the 24 hours available in a day. Video Transcript: How do you use it most efficiently? That's a real question. So the most people is that they would be just really inefficient. They'll be going through lecture 1 to 20, sitting there for 8 to 10 hours a day, like in med school. I know a lot of people do that. And then they use really inefficient methods, I think, to any forms of art. Like at the highest level is formless. So, yes, we teach you all of these techniques later on, you just do it. That's why we tell you where the 80/20 is to focus. So when you focus on the encoding part, then spaced repetition almost becomes irrelevant. So what you really need to do at the highest level is really scope out all the subjects still relevant because you need to have a 10,000ft view or 30,000ft view of what you need to cover all of these things. And then you already have a good idea of, okay, I know this, I don't know this, I know this, I don't know this. So you have the whole thing mapped out, at least what you need to focus on. And then the whole of the semester, or when you're preparing for MCAT now, is basically to just go through all the things that you don't understand. And then as Zakir said, you wrestle the information, because the

Summary: 1. Understanding Syllabus: Learn how to see the bigger picture of what to learn using the syllabus. . 2. Effective Learning Strategies: Learn more strategies for effective learning. 3. Feedback and Correction: Seeking feedback from others, especially those knowledgeable in the subject, is highlighted. Video Transcript: One of the biggest things I'd say that also led to my failure in college was I never looked at the syllabus. I just kind of based my knowledge on whatever the professor is talking about. And I realized the learning style isn't always tailored to me when there's, like, 200 other students in a class. And that really did open my mind up a little bit. And now I have a new method, which is looking over the syllabus and then trying to study topics from those syllabus. And then I can kind of see, like, look at it more from the bigger picture. Don't look at the very tiny equation, look at why the equation makes sense in overall and are you able to understand all of this? For example, if you use this, make sure you can color code, make sure that you're self testing yourself the first one or two times you probably need to learn from the textbook or the lecture or whatever but then once you grasp it, then it's time for you to try and explain it yourself. 5-10-15 rule to yourself or to someone who knows the topic, or to the lecturer that's giving it, or someone that is an expert in this subject so they can correct you or you can pinpoint the areas that is a problem. And then you go back to the loop of basically looking up the knowledge gaps and then you explain it again. And then basically once you're able to use your own words and explain it logically, it won't escape your mind because it's part of you now. So that's the hack of it. Rather than you can be writing the definition out about 100 times. You might remember it for about 1 hour or 2 hours. Tomorrow you'll probably forget half of it because you don't understand it.

𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆: 1. Developing Good Study Habits and Discipline: Learn how to focus on developing the right mindset and habits. 2. Leveraging a Daily Learning Routine: Know the importance of setting a specific time and duration to study. 3. Building a Strong Mindset: Learn how to establish good study habits and routines to help you prepare effectively for the MCAT. 𝗩𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁: Think of the 28 day as like a foundation that we set you. It's the initial knowing part, and then the more important part is you keep on coming back, and we help you apply those things that you've learned and the techniques and the memory techniques and the learning techniques that you learned to your MCAT. It's good that you're doing MCAT because I've done quite a lot of biological stuff, biochemical stuff. So then I can use certain examples because I can see here the amino acids, all that stuff. I understand already so I can demonstrate to you with certain things. My main focus, I guess, right now is I just want to get the mindset right. I want to start to get the habits in place and then start. Essentially, I'm trying to take it more day by day. I think what you can do is you're working on your habits, right? Basically, you want to establish a system where you can just force not force yourself, but establish a discipline where you can just know, okay, I'm going to sit down for 30 minutes. I say, I'm going to study for 30 minutes. I'm going to do it for 30 minutes. So you can actually tag this along because are you easily doing one video a day in terms of the program? Yes. So if you're able to do that, basically, you can just tie in with that because you know the trigger, okay, I'm going to watch a video a day. I'm going to learn something. Great. And then now I'm going to set an alarm for it doesn't have to be half an hour, even like, 15 minutes. Okay. I'm going to learn a concept and pick something from there and just learn it. And then basically,

Video Summary: Make Studying Fun with Friends: Studying can be boring, but if you turn it into a game and study with friends or people you know, it becomes more enjoyable and you can help each other stay on track. Focus on Understanding Concepts: The most important thing is to understand the main ideas and concepts during your study sessions. When you really get the concepts, they stick in your brain for a long time, and you won't have to study them as much later on. Use 3D Learning and Accountability: Try to learn in a way that involves understanding things deeply (3D learning). Also, find an accountability group or friends to study with—they will help you stay motivated and make studying more enjoyable. Video Transcript: Because studying sucks for most of the time because it's such a boring activity. But if you're able to make it a game and involve a couple of friends or people that you met and go, hey, if you're able to search on forums, people close to you that are doing MCAT and are about the same intelligence level as you, that's the best thing that can happen to you because it becomes a really fun thing. Like you keep each other accountable, you won't fall off and it's just become fun. The 80/20 is to focus on how well you learn information and how well it is installing in your brain the first time. Because if the first time is done well, you don't need to go back to it anymore. That's the gold standard. But obviously we have fading memory. That's the nature of our brain. But if you get concepts, they really just stick on for months and months on end. That's why I studied much less in med school, because I focused on understanding concepts. The facts, all that other stuff, like, where does this attach to that? You're going to forget it. You can shove your brain with that for two weeks and then you're going to forget afterwards. So I never focused on that. Does that kind of make sense? But there's the HILE Method if you really need to do facts well.
