1 00:00:00,210 --> 00:00:01,140 Instructor: Hey everybody. 2 00:00:01,140 --> 00:00:03,330 I wanna take a quick break here. 3 00:00:03,330 --> 00:00:05,340 Go grab a coffee, grab a tea. 4 00:00:05,340 --> 00:00:08,430 Just take a break from all the learning that you just did. 5 00:00:08,430 --> 00:00:13,170 And I wanna talk to you quickly about imposter syndrome. 6 00:00:13,170 --> 00:00:15,720 It's this idea that you're not good enough, 7 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:17,670 that things are too complicated 8 00:00:17,670 --> 00:00:21,600 for you to ever achieve what you want to achieve. 9 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,810 You look at other people, at other industry experts, 10 00:00:24,810 --> 00:00:27,810 and you say, "I will never get there," 11 00:00:27,810 --> 00:00:31,860 but it's just a symptom of learning. 12 00:00:31,860 --> 00:00:36,570 This idea of you not being good enough simply means that, 13 00:00:36,570 --> 00:00:38,130 well, you're just not there yet. 14 00:00:38,130 --> 00:00:39,120 Things take time. 15 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:43,320 If you wanna learn a valuable skill, well, it's hard work. 16 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,240 That's why it's valuable. 17 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:49,110 Remember how you felt on the first day of going to school, 18 00:00:49,110 --> 00:00:51,450 first day on a job. 19 00:00:51,450 --> 00:00:55,830 It's the same experience, but over time, with repetition, 20 00:00:55,830 --> 00:00:59,190 with practice, you get comfortable, you get experience, 21 00:00:59,190 --> 00:01:02,940 and you slowly start to lose that imposter syndrome. 22 00:01:02,940 --> 00:01:05,940 Now, this idea of an imposter syndrome is great. 23 00:01:05,940 --> 00:01:07,830 It means you're doing something worthwhile. 24 00:01:07,830 --> 00:01:09,690 So don't use it as a negative. 25 00:01:09,690 --> 00:01:12,873 Use it as an encouragement that you're doing something good, 26 00:01:12,873 --> 00:01:15,720 that you're learning, and you're stretching your limits. 27 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:16,800 So with this break, 28 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,950 I wanna propose that we do a quick exercise. 29 00:01:19,950 --> 00:01:22,770 I want you to stop the lectures, 30 00:01:22,770 --> 00:01:24,930 again, grab a coffee, grab a tea, 31 00:01:24,930 --> 00:01:27,030 and head on over to our Discord. 32 00:01:27,030 --> 00:01:28,620 Now in our Discord server, 33 00:01:28,620 --> 00:01:30,900 if you've used it up until now, that's great. 34 00:01:30,900 --> 00:01:33,510 If you haven't, head on over to this server. 35 00:01:33,510 --> 00:01:35,160 And I want you to do something 36 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,860 that I think it's super important to learning, 37 00:01:37,860 --> 00:01:40,770 and that is using what you've learned up until now 38 00:01:40,770 --> 00:01:43,560 to actually teach someone or help someone. 39 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,170 So you can go all the way to, let's say, 40 00:01:46,170 --> 00:01:48,840 the Coding & Courses section 41 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,480 and pick a topic that you wanna help somebody in. 42 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,210 So let's say you go to the Python Channel, 43 00:01:54,210 --> 00:01:56,100 and in here you'll have other students 44 00:01:56,100 --> 00:01:58,770 that are asking Python-related questions. 45 00:01:58,770 --> 00:02:00,090 Now, you can scroll through here 46 00:02:00,090 --> 00:02:02,880 and see if you're able to help someone. 47 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,740 Even though you may not have the experience 48 00:02:04,740 --> 00:02:06,120 or the knowledge yet, 49 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,180 this idea of practicing and explaining 50 00:02:09,180 --> 00:02:11,490 what you've just learned to other people, 51 00:02:11,490 --> 00:02:14,070 even if you're not a hundred percent certain, 52 00:02:14,070 --> 00:02:16,350 actually is beneficial to your learning. 53 00:02:16,350 --> 00:02:18,780 Because if you're never teaching, 54 00:02:18,780 --> 00:02:21,240 if you're never explaining, and vocalizing, 55 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,190 and showing what you've learned, 56 00:02:23,190 --> 00:02:25,290 you'll always be a beginner. 57 00:02:25,290 --> 00:02:27,990 This idea of teaching what you learn 58 00:02:27,990 --> 00:02:29,820 is a very important concept. 59 00:02:29,820 --> 00:02:32,880 So moving forward, as you go through the lectures, 60 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,130 any time you feel like taking a break 61 00:02:35,130 --> 00:02:38,430 hop on over to Discord and help somebody. 62 00:02:38,430 --> 00:02:41,190 Our motto here is that we're always kind. 63 00:02:41,190 --> 00:02:42,480 We don't judge anybody. 64 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,310 We're all just beginners here. 65 00:02:44,310 --> 00:02:45,360 We're all learning. 66 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,000 So don't be afraid to answer things, 67 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,850 because you gotta remember nobody's perfect, 68 00:02:50,850 --> 00:02:53,610 except for Yoda, Yoda is pretty perfect. 69 00:02:53,610 --> 00:02:56,060 All right, I'll see you in the next one, bye-bye.
