[@arielgranados5807]

thank you, It was better than watching the whole video

[@chilledoutorange4269]

I was trying to turn on captions after hearing that intro.

[@Airgemcrypto108]

haha! same here

[@ochampagne1157]

HAHAHAH SAME

I didn't know that was Spanish, hell, I'm even a native Spanish speaker. I thought it was Japanese for a moment. Hahaha.

[@tomasramirezgomez5564]

Yep, I learn anything in 30 days but I also forget everything in the next 30 days.

[@andyyu2024]

hhhhhh

[@suraj-ug8mj]

That's the magic of 30 days

[@suraj-ug8mj]

If you had learned it by spending more time , you could've remember for more

[@SylwekGrega]

Fantastic message. Self discipline is doing something whether you feel like it or not.

[@annamoan2107]

I get the impression that what Mr. Grooms says goes beyond self-discipline. Self-discipline requires effort and, for some people, huge amounts of self control. What this young man suggests is to not leave yourself the choice of doing otherwise. That would mean you don't even need discipline, you just have to do what you have to do, like your life depends on it, like you would need that to survive. You wouldn't need self-discipline to survive.

[@m.schwarz8428]

You need self-discipline to tell you, that you have no choice though.

[@spreadthepositivityvlogs5995]

yes because you will either experience the pain of Discipline OR the pain of regret choice is Yours

"ACTUALLY CARING".... This guy is unnecessarily intense, but the "non-negociable" message is useful.

[@Elkx2121]

There is no such thing as unnecessarily intense, there is just intense.

[@luismejia6802]

Elif I believe there is such a thing, because you can use a controlled level of intensity to get a point across to you audience effectively, but there is a threshold where it can become a little obnoxious. I'm not trying to criticize though, the message is substantial, which is what really matters.

[@AnSturbin]

@@Elkx2121 how about screaming profanity at your kid's little league game

[@wiemcowybieram]

I really like your documentary movie about learning Spanish only by 1 month. I have been learning English 3 years, every day, and now I can say that I'm fluent. All my free time I spent for learning English and this is amazing like after some time you see your results :) I'm learning Spanish now, but frankly, is harder for me to learn this, because I love using English.

[@TutionTime]

How did you learn that actually i dont know from where i should start

[@TuanAnhNguyen-ct7zk]

​@@TutionTime Try to learn some favorite things by yourself then use that ways with certain things you must learn :))

[@ihatekillerclowns]

it's an obvious scam. Shame Ted X are using blokes like this now without researching their backgrounds

[@TuanAnhNguyen-ct7zk]

​@@ihatekillerclowns yes i understood. By title, the content is not necessary but with his ways we can succeed in a favorite thing. Spent 7 minutes so just draw something for yourself instead forgotten in our mind :v

[@anastacia_english]

I've been learning English for all my life)

[@Slowmo-sapiens]

Next month challenge : Humility

[@doutorgori327]

His method to learn a language: Have a lot of money to pay a tutor and travel to the country. Have a lot of free time. And don't have a job (it will only get in the way).

[@scottherf]

It’s a grift.

[@williambaldwin9346]

One thing I learned way to late in life is commit and give all your attention to one thing and be excellent at it. Take school. I went back to College at 40 years old, and I take one course per semester. Two courses and two A's later I sky rocketed my GPA. Next semester, yep one course. Do one thing, and do it well even if it takes longer for the total goal. Do the work even if you don't feel like it.

[@davisia81791]

"I gained 26 pounds of muscle in a month." Bullshit. I could see 26 pounds of fat+muscle+water weight (still a tad extreme, but viable), but not straight muscle. The pictures he showed suggest the same.

[@todornikolov1473]

Yep. He gained 26 pounds of something alright but certainly not pure muscle.

[@SoFreshBlaze]

The fitness industry hates this guy

[@mycreativity2010]

Your speech gave me exactly what I needed. I have been failing in many endeavors all my life inspire of all the right research, awesome resources. but i didn’t know why I was never able to accomplish my goals . Today, I have understood. I have never bothered to COMMIT. I never made it non negotiable. This is my light bulb moment. Like you said, that is the key ingredient for success. Thanks a ton. I am super excited. From today I am on the right track. Thank you 🙏 One thing I will stop doing is spending hours on KZbin researching for the best solution, because I have finally found it.

[@daxinventor3542]

Perfect truth young warrior. Your future is so bright that you have got to wear sunglasses. Simple and to the point. Commitment is the key. Thank you for sharing. Outstanding video.

[@mattstone8111]

This guy needs to be non-negotiable about chilling the fuck out.

[@Cat_Sterling]

Matt Stone hilarious comment! :)

[@GodsNode]

lmao

[@CarlosCastilloproactivos]

Cheers BuckBooks!

[@banagi6598]

He is awesome. This is the way to do something. Instead of complaining and crying follow his message. Like we hate our jobs but we go there that is not negotiable, wow. Wonderful!

[@ichirot3348]

This is how I learnt English language, but what is surprising to me is he's found out this way of achieving something before he gets 20. I'm 21, and I got it this year.

[@yigaltv]

oh youth

[@SpiritPhoenixRose]

Excellent talk! Instead of trying to do everything at once and being overwhelmed by it all, commit to doing one thing at a time. Streamline energy instead of scattering it. Needed to hear that, thanks x

[@takethecatout]

The secret to learning anything is to be amazing.

[@andrewbirkett715]

You're awesome. I wish I could have made it in person.

[@sudharsansuresh170]

Message was useful, I think he could have been more relaxed and calm during the presentation! But i dont care what his mindset was - He got a strong message!

[@arlinegeorge6967]

So true committed. Thank you bless you n All your dreams come true.

[@artistryartistry7239]

"Force yourself to do it every day" is a remarkably dense approach to long term change.

[@salty8544]

Don't waste your time, the message is passion

[@0x28]

Plan: watch entire KZbin videos first and only then watch the comment section, or not watch the comment section at all.

[@angelameek9101]

I liked what he was saying, especially the focusing on one thing. Personally, I have a lot of distractions when trying to do anything and have been known to get side-tracked, before you know it the day is over. So get more done by removing all the things I thought I should do and focus on my main objective sounds good to me.

[@williambudd2850]

This is pure krap! To learn anything you must use spaced repetition and the final spacing ust be appropriximately one year.

He's serious about getting things done fast, that leather jacket is all about SPEED and getting it done in 30 days or less

[@evilmorty1440]

This was very good!!!

[@alaziadancing2360]

that's not Spanish. It's gibberish.

[@anastacia_english]

good play on words)

[@mrpancake7965]

thats not the point

[@trolling1178]

Nah I think that's just you...

[@gbravy]

You're right. Took me a minute to figure out that the point he's trying to make, I think, is what it sounded like to him the first night. That's what Spanish sounded like to him.

[@joeishino3952]

incredible, thank you

[@timothykemp908]

Great message...thank you!

[@aravindamondal4647]

THE best talk to learning sth that Ive heard until now, i didnt want to listen because of previous disappointments of this kind but this was really great

[@khalilmustafakhan8340]

Commit to one thing make it non negotiable. Research it plan it and execute it the essence of this ted talk

[@BangMaster96]

Every multilingual person: "I know more than 7 languages, but fluent in none of them"

[@Nicolesid1]

Me too!! Hahaha

[@Amanda-qe5lj]

most of polyglots reach C1 or C2 only in 2 or 3 languages that are the languages they use most, the rest is conversational level, like B1, not understand anything and not being able to say everything but still conversational.

[@TristaSullivantraining]

Yes!!!! Non Negociable:) I want to be Baptiste Certified by Baron Baptiste!!! I don't care how many people tell me to LET IT GO:) I don't want to. As long as it takes that is what I'm working toward:)

[@calistafalcontail]

Not only does he not speak real spanish in the beginning, he also did not explain how he made something non-negotiable. He first used the example of going to work. We do it cause we have to, meaning there will be negative consequences if we dont. When it comes to personal stuff we want to achieve, what exactly makes it non-negotiable? Most people can say "I will just start doing this or that..." and they really want it but he doesnt explain how to develope this sort of selfdiscipline, where you are not overwhelmed by the power of feeling tired, umotivated or distracted. The non-negotiable status of something has to come by putting a form of "punishment" on it or not?

that beginning I was like wtf is happening lol nice lecture

[@donhendershot9705]

Very good points!

[@museluvr]

I needed this. Thank you Connor. Very informative, and as my mind has a million things it wants to do, that key point of 'pick one, do it.. move to the next' is such a simple step I've over looked it all these years. Good luck in your list of accomplishments.

[@alejamisifu]

Very nice! Quite motivated after that!

[@Santiago-5107]

The messege is, " Just do it"

[@TheManChise]

Great concepts..just make a plan and commit..

[@mlasko74]

I can't help but comment that most people after their morning coffee have to go to work to house, feed and support themselves. If u have the available time and come from a wealthy family, that certainly helps your situation. I need to say that, because he didnt

[@Elena_PS91]

Sounds like an excuse you have 24hrs in a day... Like everyone else

[@Elena_PS91]

Tony Robins too has 24hrs but gets a lot done in a day

[@arthitn.1979]

What this guy said is so right because I have done it... thank you for this powerful message, this is not new but thanks for reminded me!

[@zakopiec]

Great sugestion thx. I trying used in my live starting from today.

[@karmen2678]

Excellent speech!! And the way he delivered is absolutely necessary I finally realized why most schooling systems don't work.....20 different subjects over months and years but people finish high-school and after 3-4 years of "learning/studying" a language, still can't get a word out......just too many things at once without much interest in the subject It's just like the goverments want us all to work at starbucks (no offense, just an example).....hmmm.....

[@fisherpeace560]

Learning something quickly is amazing, but in the end, what is the point of learning something if you cannot create something new from the learning? The real difficult thing is to create, not to learn something that already exists

[@highsom]

Fisher Peace correct 😯

[@PsychokoreUndergroundRap]

that's actualy very true..

[@C3KNG]

I want to achieve my goals but i doubt want to develop hyper tension like this guy

Why don't you give subtitles?

[@budhachandrayumkhaibam6079]

This speaks to me

[@user-iy4vf2ul5f]

His message feels authentic and compelling after noticing his message brought out the 'negotiable' type in the comment section. Sarcasam and humor only creates curiousity and debate. "I think, therefore I am". What are you going to do in 30 days?

[@MrRobotman]

But how do you make it non-negotiable?

[@calistafalcontail]

Exactly my question too. He did not explain how he made something non-negotiable. He first used the example of going to work. We do it cause we have to, meaning there will be negative consequences if we dont. When it comes to personal stuff we want to achieve, what exactly makes it non-negotiable? Most people can say "I will just start doing this or that..." and they really want it but he doesnt explain how to develope this sort of selfdiscipline, where you are not overwhelmed by the power of feeling tired, umotivated or distracted. The non-negotiable status of something has to come by putting a form of "punishment" on it or not?

[@oscalfred2009]

Hello! ... I am Argentine and I am trying to achieve speaking in English. I am looking for a native English speaker who is learning Spanish and wants to get a native Spanish speaker to learn, improve and practice speaking Spanish. The idea is to teach one another among us. Greetings.

[@Huevo88888]

Hi, I speak English and am trying to learn Spanish!

[@oscalfred2009]

Hi Peter !, It's nice to meet you, if it seems right, let's agree on the time and day that is convenient for both of us and from there we start to communicate through Skype. I'm telling you that right now (01/14/17), I'm going on vacation for two weeks but I'll just come back, if that's okay, we'll start. Greetings.

[@Huevo88888]

oscalfred2009 sounds good! Are you on Facebook at all? maybe we could add each other there?

[@hacene1992]

i am waiting for someone to come up with an idea how to sleep 8 hours in 4 hours !!

[@teampugayfarm4600]

Hacene Meliani I've been reading the comment while listening to this man talk, and your's is more hilarious but honest to goodness comment because I myself am thinking the same way. I usually sleep 2-3 hours (4hrs. max).

[@Hellomaricedd]

Lol

[@reginaphilange6478]

Polyphasic sleep. Some can reduce it to 2 hours but 4 hours is a good one to begin with. It's not as bad actually.

[@twistedoracle1144]

The message is to have to have self-discipline. Unfortunately, he did not deliver it in a good way.

[@MegF142857]

He isn't a real nightowl, if he can just say "I'm getting up early to be more productive". A true nightowl won't be more productive, even if they get up. There are genetic circadian rhythms that are true nightowl in nature. It is counter productive to fight your natural sleep cycle, IMO. -- This attitude of "all in" for 30 days with obsession may be useful in limited fashion, but not a way that I would live going from one thing to the next with that long a list. -- I would have liked to hear him actually speak some Spanish (more than a half sentence) and do some pushups. Is he able to carry on the language and keep the muscle before moving on to some other topic?

[@Davran2742]

In my experience it's a myth that you can learn a language in thirty days; if immersed you can get some basics down in the present tense in a month. After three years of studying Spanish I could use a solid thirty days just to study the subjunctive. I think that telling people they can learn anything in thirty days sets them up for disappointment.

[@quellbrack]

Really wanting to

[@恩和桑]

Very Inspiring

[@proskater101100]

what is he saying at the beginning, that is definitely NOT Spanish lol

[@iwilljones]

joseph smith it’s not supposed to be Spanish

[@Emsworth377]

Amazing speech. And he's absolutely right, dedication is key. However.....did he just say he moved to the country and then had a private tutor for 3 hours a day?! My day entails waking up doing 8 hours at work plus overtime, coming home dealing with screaming kids fitting in an hour of my own time sleeping. Then rince and repeat...I'm not sure if I can really follow his model.

[@PaulJohn204]

I bet this guy is insatiable to be around, I can just imagine it now: Me: 'I think I'm going to go and watch the football, want to come?' Him: 'That isn't a product use of my time' Me: 'yeah but it'll be fun, come just for the first half? :)' Him: 'I didn't gain 28 pounds of muscle in ONE MONTH by watching football. And did I mention I learned Spanish in Medellin Colombia in 30 days too?' Me: 'Actually, I think I'll go alone.'

[@lukagoshi]

Not sure insatiable is the word you're looking for...

[@rayanzelms9453]

so what word he should have used instead?

[@change6589]

Insufferable maybe?

[@rayanzelms9453]

exactly😂😂

[@neestovekin8251]

+Luke Hatch thinking the same thing +DangerDays58 yes, that's the one

[@negativeoptimist7841]

Amazing loved it "Non Negotiable is the keyword"

[@blueskies773]

What language was that in the beginning? It did not sound like Spanish... he spoke it like French but I didn’t catch French.

[@noghd2560]

This guy epitomises youthful narcissism

[@whoismattkohn]

I think if more young people adapted this guy's mindset we would have a society of much more productive, impactful and fulfilled younger people.

[@OvenBakedCookie]

But nothing he said here is unrealistic. It's the "I have to do it" that's the hard part. But if you do it, you'll achieve quite a bit.

[@whoismattkohn]

he didn't become fluent, he became conversational. Holla

[@JM23007]

I honestly didn't understand anything he said.

[@OvenBakedCookie]

okay. keep dumb!

[@artemisa5456]

I just expressed that don't find his voice attractive to hear, never said I'm not interested on what he's saying... Gosh, seems like one can't make a comment without being judged.

[@evilmorty1440]

Sabrina Benítez Alright, Sabrina. But his video is very good!

[@fhhfgj]

You just judged HIM based on his voice. So by your logic if someone said you were about to be hit by a bus but you didn't find that voice appealing you would just stand there and get hit,brilliant.

[@artemisa5456]

It's not voluntary, just did't find his voice appealing. I did watch the video since I'm interested in what he is saying... Just commented a thought lol

[@heypappy]

very wise..

[@danielj9865]

lies! you are not gaining close to 30 pounds mostly in muscle in 30 days.

[@charlesmorris3888]

Yeah, you don't gain 30 pounds of muscle in 4 weeks. You gain 30 pounds of muscle in 4 years.

[@himself99]

I was surprised to see that no one mentioned he looked like Scarlett Johanson.
