What is the sample size of success to failure rate? I feel like this program is like med/graduate school where they select high talent/iq students. And they proclaim they have high success/graduation rate because of their teaching, when in fact, it’s more because of the students talent, discipline or iq.

One of my favourite quotes of all time: "If something's worth doing, it's worth doing badly." Sounds counterintuitive but the less pressure you put on yourself to do something perfectly, the more likely you are to actually make a good job of it. Example: I wanted to go on a run this weekend and was nervous because I usually run 10km and wasn't feeling up for it. So I decided to just aim for 5km... I ended up at home, 3 hours later, having run TWENTY THREE KILOMETRES. The power of convincing your mind you'll do less!

One of my favorite quotes "if you want unusual results, you need unusual habits". 90%+ of people don't follow all the basics you talked about here! And it's crazy how much impact they can rub off on the rest of your life. If you're looking for unusual levels of success, then you can start by pushing yourself to unusual levels in your habits. I just made a video diving on this deeper if anyone cares to check it out!

[@1_Percent_Man_Project]

Having competed and trained with guys that went to the Olympics in judo, you're 100% right. What separated them from the guys that never quite got there was a constant, relentless focus on basics. They always turned up to training well-rested. They always watched their weight. They spent a lot of time drilling basic techniques. The other guys? They'd miss sessions. They'd always be looking for the shiny new combination or technique. They'd enjoy their weekends a little too much. When the differences played out over a number of years, the disparity in results was impossible to miss. Going back to regular life though, it's so simple: focus on the basics over years, and you're going to slingshot past the vast majority of people who complain that life is hard. Another bangin video man.

Just finished about my 20th watch of this. Such a powerful video. Can you do one on “do these 5 things every day to pursue your goal?” I feel like the video would have a section like 5 things to get promoted, 5 things to be more well read, 5 things ti get ti 12% body fat…” where it’s 5 daily things for 6 months or whatever. We all have anxiety over what trees to actually cut.

Cheers, king. As someone of similar age and ethnicity, I really resonate with the structure of your videos and how you approach self-help and personal growth. I struggle with anxiety, and your approach to no-fap has really helped me. I watch your videos whenever I feel lost or get those sexual urges, and you do a lot for me. I would really appreciate it if you could delve deeper into the realm of dating, discussing the positives and negatives of short-term and long-term relationships, such as marriage. Additionally, I would like to know how you balance your time, as I struggle with managing my own personal growth alongside my studies/work and unexpected life circumstances. Anyways, I just wanted to say that I appreciate you, and if you're reading this, thank you."

Ive been trainning in MMA/Kickboxing for nearly a decade and this concept of focusing on the fundamentals over complex systems of attacking and trainning is 100% accurate from experience. E.g going from benching 60kg to 115kg in 6 months of only bench pressing and running only 500m to 40km in a day with only running in 6 months lol. Similarly in combat sports the basics of jabs, cross, hooks, leg and body kicks in addition to wrestling and basic chokeholds are 85% of the sport even there are multiple dozens of more areas that are high impact aswell e.g switching stance, head kicks, skipping rope, leg locks, clinch striking etc.

[@michaelb9112]

Hello, as talented as you are, all the videos I saw that you made, what I came to realize is that all throughout them, you are very inspirational, and personally speaking, you have made a very big difference in how I pursue my objectives and even how I see every new challenge in my life.

Again another frickin gem of a video. I'm really liking this longer form of content. You're packing so much gold in each video bro. Super inspirational. Just some constructive criticism. Take this super lightly as I don't make quality content like you and have literally no experience in making good videos. Your longer form of content is really nice to watch but this video might be cutting it close with how long you can go while retaining my attention. Personally a 19 - 25 minute video seems like the perfect length where I'm super engaged and don't get tired near the end. But all in all, super awesome video.

Good, wholesome advice. 1. I want to see how productivity gurus phase into married life and parenthood. 2. On finding a bride, there is also what I call "warm approaching". This is approaching women you see regularly but never speak with, for example on campus or buildings that have many companies. You can book space at a restaurant with a few people months in advance and then increase the numbers when you meet new people. I have tried this with great success starting with 6 and ending with 30. People are lonely and want to make real (not online) friends. You can be the catalyst for that. It also demonstrates the competency that makes the right woman yield to you. 3. What is the online female counterpart to the self-improvement bros? Their NoFap equivalent presumably would be to remain virgins until marriage, and to learn domestic skills. It's really good to see a fellow Anglophone south Asian immigrant on the other side of the pond doing well.

[@ssj_h4798]

Hey Captain, SO proud to hear you've gotten into tennis. Ive been playing since I was a kid and never stopped even now in my mid 20s. Tennis is a special sport IMO cuz you learn so much about life. You have ups and downs and you have to remain stoic through it all, e.g not dwelling on mistakes and not overcelebrating a great shot. Also, unlike most sports which have a time buzzer e.g soccer, basketball etc, in tennis YOU are responsible for sealing the win and ending the game. It's play to the last point not play to the buzzer. I know this sounds abit overanalytical but tennis has taught me so much about personal responsibility and dealing with the highs and lows of life. It's also great for burning calories and having fun 😀

[@chadwithautism]

I believe that applying aggression can be a bit cyclical in a sense that the moment you feel like you're at an aptitude that is sufficient, you can probably start doing other things that could compliment that trait. You can always go back and get better at that skill but once you get good at several things you can attempt to put them together in a way that makes sense. Even at a somewhat rudimentary level, mentally you can start to be a bit explorative with whatever basics you are honing. This will help your critical thinking and it will have a compound effect as you get more advanced with that skill. In that sense, both basic and advanced skills are in your toolbox, and can be applied whenever you see fit, which of course takes experience. At an advanced level, the thing is sometimes you can be, in some ways, withheld from applying a lot of the skills that you have developed. I believe this is when you need to be a bit surgical and dissect whatever you have learned and come up with something new. This new modality, in and of itself, has to be very adaptable to changes.
