This is precisely the reason why I want to get into Harvard/MIT. I want my 5 people to be smart and ambitious. It's horrible how contagious laziness is.,
I'm currently a PhD student at an ivy league for chemical physics. I come from a poor immigrant background, grew up all my life below the poverty line, and thought I did pretty good in making it here on my own. I now realize how alien I am in life experience, opportunity, and preparation when compared to my peers. It was a tough pill to swallow, to think that I could maybe be at a higher level in life and my intended field if it weren't for a relative lack of opportunity, but in the one semester I've been here I've already learned so much, and I'm somehow working on the same playing field as the smartest people I've ever met, so I'll just have to keep practicing grace and not let it discourage me.
@@kerPlanck Some of us may have had more obstacles along the way but if you work hard and ensure you get relevant experience, you have a shot! It'll take showing some exceptionality but if I can do it, so can anyone. Just make sure you do your research on whether graduate school is what you're looking for.
Some points to remember as a 52 year old retired person. Remember satisfaction and fulfillment are a personal responsibility. Take the time to do something that is fulfilling do it with passion take as much risk as you can. Never look back with regret. When you have enough get out and live your best life on your terms.
Love this video! Somehow, I've found myself in a place where I no longer compare myself to others and instead focus on learning from them. I think what's helped me with this is realizing that feeling bad because someone is more intelligent/successful than me is equivalent to feeling good when someone is less intelligent/successful than me. And I don't want to be someone who derives joy from superiority, especially when I've made up the definition of success/intelligence anyway.
I really struggeled to switch my subject two times, had to pause several times due to health issues. I felt so behind. Now im training people at work older than me. Everybody struggles somewhere. Keep on going and enjoy the happiness and peace not only when things are going great, but when they are simply not bad.
Thanks for the insight! Coming from a no near known university in Latin America, I always felt (and sometimes I still) less capable than some of my peers who have great grades, scholarships, etc. The imposter syndrome is something real but with videos like this I understand that, my peers most probably compare themselves with other people who have achieved more and had better opportunities, and those compare to others, continuing the endless cycle. But I came to realize that I just have to think "good for them, they worked hard to get where they are" and building ambitions and dreams for myself and give the best that I can. Really thankful for the video!!!!!!
The issue with this video is that it ignores that insecurity can be one hell of a motivator. Accomplishments are not necessarily tied to having a "healthy" perspective.
That is a very good point that I wish I had made in the video. Sometimes insecurities push you down. But if you’re smart about it, they will also help you work harder
A question that comes up for me is what accomplishment and achievement is good for when its rooted and based in insecurity and dissatsifaction, does one believe that the dissatsifaction seizes at a certain point of achievement? That seems unrealistic to me, seems like putting the cart before the horse
Yeah, that's true. I feel it from time to time, but if I look at where I started and where I am now, it's already a great result. But people always want more. I guess it's our nature. So, let's not judge ourselves so harshly, we are already good for having taken this path of self development. It's already worth a lot
its because there is a well defined path. study the material, get an A. do what everyone tells you, be a good employee. you were optimizing for pleasing others. In order to truly get to the top your going to have to dissapoint a lot of people
yeah absolute truth. We're just finding our fit among others😄I also have passion in studying but I'm keeping it as hobbies because it's so difficult. One way I treat with my broken dream is that I pursue my thing as much as allowed to me as a good human being, and other parts will filled by other people
Wowwwww!!!!! I am just stunned at the timing of this video. There's this constant train of thought running in circles in my mind about how I want to become an astrophysicist, who obviously need to have top-notch thinking capabilities in maths, physics, geometry (and hence also about how multiple things of multiple wierd shapes and sizes fit together with each other), etc., etc., etc., meanwhile here I am, sitting in sadness after failing for the 2nd time on my driving test because I couldn't reverse on a narrow curved single-lane path.
Well, thanks a lot for your words of encouragement. By the way, I somehow forgot to add an important detail- I said I was stunned at the timing, because the driving test was today (by the way I live in +5:30 GMT Zone, if the timings are confusing). As in, I went to the test in the late morning early afternoon period, I messed up, was sitting in sadness throughout the late afternoon early evening period, and then this video. Sometimes it just feels like TH-cam is really listening in on us at all times and pushing notifications for videos accordingly, but then I see the "uploaded 30 min.s ago" or something.
To be honest I feel this every day. I used to be the best at coding in my circle, even if I started just 2 years ago. And now at age of 23 I got into one of the best universities in the Netherlands from my home country Romania and on of my cohort mates is always in the Advent of Code leader boards each year. Even though compared to when I started I am one of the best at what I am doing, also studying a double degree in Math and Computer Science, I struggle a lot when it comes to this. So I appreciate you for doing this video as we all should start enjoying the fact that we have so much to learn from people who are better than us.
Digga du bist der King mit deinen Realtalkvideos. Hab von einer FH zu einer Uni gewechselt und dachte ich bin ready to go. Naja. Voll auf die Fresse bekommen und denke kontinuierlich das ich nichts kann... Diese Videos helfen
hey @SamuelBosch I completely get you, as someone who used to struggle with this when I was younger, I stopped struggling when I realized that no matter what you do, you there will always be someone who is better and worse than you. There are 8 billion people on the planet, it is basically an infinite space and so it is just unhealthy to compare yourself to others. Also I realized that life is too short and what counts is just being happy and having lived a life worth living.
This channel’s content is so valuable I can’t believe you’re not huge yet. I always find myself rewatching your videos because I always get something new every listen. Thanks a lot sam you’ve helped me more than you can know.
Well, I think part of it is also where you come from. As a math student from Germany, we immediately have to do Real Analysis, which is quite brutal for most people. Even I somewhat struggle with it, because even though the material is actually very easy (though it probably pushed half of the students out), we are expected to learn proof writing in one semester on top of the other things. This is also the reason I decided against immediately doing two majors and instead opted to wait a year (I don’t want to have immense pressure having to do that on top of physics), even if that takes more time. (I personally only consider myself behind because I feel like I’ve wasted quite a bit of time. Sure, I am only 19, but it was quite clear that I am immensely talented in math. However, rather than improving on that, I just stayed at a similar level, which was exactly “being one of the best/smartest in the room.” I still feel like that in college, though it might be partly because everyone else is complaining about how hard it is, while I just think, "Isn’t this obvious, what the proof is talking about?" I genuinely want to meet people who are just straight-up better than me in math(like i know they exist and they are probably quite numerous, espically since i am quite a bit behind, that are at my age and have similar goals, but I somewhat doubt I’m going to meet them in the near future.)
i stopped bothering to compare myself to others. it's only a problem problem if you want to do exactly the same thing as the person you're comparing yourself to. but if you just focus on exploring the stuff that you love, you'll end up with a unique skill set since no two people are interested in exactly the same. thus even if a person is better at thing A, you'll be better at thing B.
4:10 if exams in harvard are graded on a curve, which i dont know, then its not about confidence, but your relative strength compared to your fellow students
What if someone who dreamed of becoming a topper but at a young age was kind of average in his studies and didn't think of getting high marks in tests? As time passed, now he is in university, his peers are having above 9+ CGPA, and he is still struggling to get 6.5+ and now feels depressed about not getting used to studying. He is now struggling to get marks (here marks are more prioritized rather than the physical or implementation of theoretical knowledge). He knows the concepts and how things work but struggles to write them effectively on paper and is feeling behind and like a loser. All I do is focus on the physical implementation, and by-hearting or memorizing things is hard for me. If I understand a concept, then I won't forget it, but sometimes it's difficult to understand all concepts of all subjects. When exam comes, I end up messing up.
Having an aspiration to get into MIT, I often think: MIT is surrounded by thousands of 'Genius' students who are better than me of course; but I need not to compare myself with others for achieving high or having the satisfaction of success as compared to them. I will always strive to give my best, and also I'll be flexible. Please let me know if this is a good mentality in me! 🙂
I think you said would have studied Computer Engineering instead of Physics, but would it have you brought to what you have now and finding yourself? Tolles Video übrigens!
"Linus: Man I wish I had his fit. But he probably wishes he had someone else's fit Snoopy: Man I have this shit on fr. He does NOT have that shit on" (original: Man I Wish I Was More Like That Guy on know you meme) Point in case, it's not impossible to have that confidence in yourself. It's just hard.
If you want to be in the $5m networth possibly max $10m then go to Ivy league and do STEM. Then get investment banking, private equity etc job take salary invest as corporate employee. If you want to be worth over $30m requires been a successful business owner with high net income and building assets in stockmarket, crypto, real estate, venture capital etc
Ah right before the main EU PhD application cycle, good timing ':(... Looking for Phds and pre-docs in theoretical physics, specifically Quantum Information Theory in Europe. Compared to the average guy I feel I have a lot going for myself but compared to the absolute killers in my field with several awards, pre phd publications and perfect 4.0's I often end up feeling like a failure.
I think it can be the same thing at German universities. Just less amplified as it is at places such at Harvard and MIT. But you still feel the same effect
Weirdly, the numbers of both tables both times add up to exactly 100% … One may not see the problem here, but to answer "How many percent of STEM students get their Degree by Math SAT tertile", there is no reason at all to assume it must add up to 100% among the tertiles, which it does. Therefore, I believe the table is misinterpreted, but not by you but by Malcom Gladwell, who probably invented this rumour. He once held a speech with the same statistic but (oddly) did not specify on his slides what the numbers mean. He concluded the same as you did, but probably fitted the meaning of the data (i.e. changed what it stood for) to support his argument. I don't blame you, since Gladwell was the inventor of this lie. If you are aware, could you cite the study. Then we would be able to see what these statistics were actually supposed to capture.
Isn't that just calculate (number of graduates / total number of students = Z) for each group A, B, and C and then express Z_a, Z_b, and Z_c as percentiles?
@@lex6709 to calculate the graduation rate for each group, you would divide the n. of graduates in the tertile group x by the n. of students in tertile group x, which the argument of Gladwell is based on ("How good you are relative to your peers determines your success probability, not how good you are in general"). You are right in that your formula was presumably the one used by the researchers. However, it does not support the argument by Gladwell and he, I believe, intentionally misled the audience by changing the meaning of the data. I believe this because in his original speech, Gladwell showed no title of the table. Did I miss something?
I think it may the the percentages of total graduates at the university inSTEM vs which third of SAT ranks they come from. But still, I should have looked at this more carefully. Thank you for pointing it out. Next time I need to do better research - even when I think the sourced are credible
Hey Sam, really appreciate your work, I have a question for you, how can I be driven and motivated in achieving my career goals in the age of AI when we don´t really know when AGI will be here, It´s like a cognitive disonance to me since I see AI as something with lot´s of potential to benefit humanity, and I wanna be a Machine Learning Engineer, on the other hand I feel about the progress on this field as a threat to my career goals and motivations, I would love to hear your insight, good luck man, really like your videos and what you bring to us :)
AGI is not a threat to your career in ML. On the contrary. It is the biggest opportunity out there. The better you get at using AI tools and working on AI, the more advantage you can take of these great tools coming up. I think there has never been a better time to get into AI than now
@@SamuelBoschMIT thx for your time bro, but so, do you see a world were tech jobs, like ml engineers, are far away from getting replaced by an advanced AI? and how can I be driven to help developing AI while embracing the fact that sooner or later I might be building my own replacement, any philosophical advice you recommend for those cases? thx haha srry for all of this but you are the best person I could think of to ask this
Students go to MIT should be aware that hard working and learning alone are not adequate substitution for talent. Especially, discipline of pure mathematics you have to be born for it.
@quantumspark343 I see, you love physics. But one critical point should be aware of - that is the mathematics is overused in physics. In clear text, the maths is a powerful tool to discover patterns in the experimental data, therefore the maths will give you a shortcut to formulate physics laws, without truthly understanding physics. resp. the reasoning behind those laws why they even exist.
thats quite opposite to reality. infact, mit or other top students usually realise that 'talent' isnt comparable to hardwork, no one is going to be able solve any meaningful problem without learning the basics, no matter how 'smart' they are. think of it this way, someone who wasnt taught calculus might solve a differential theorem, but it will take their entire life time since they will need to prove calculus from sketch, which is exactly what newton did. he didnt just come up with a solution because he was born for it, he worked hard. he obsessed. and there is no proof for general intelligence, on such a sophisticated topic, you should stick to scientific facts instead of hollywood explanation of 'being born for it'. there is no maths gene.
@ege8240 you can became mathematican with obessetion and hard working, that is no doubt about it. But to be brillant is hary working not good enough, you need talent or we can say tendency to pure maths. I do not talk about subjects like linear algebra or calculus - it go far beyond those basics. Believe me, you need your talent, otherwise you will not survive those pure maths classes. It has no exception for MIT students and even harder for them.
I feel like you are super focused on achievements and accolades. make sure thats what u actually want though. Could I have done a path where I became a super published and respoected academic? Probably. Is that what i want out of life? NO. I would rather make mid six figures and go skiing every day. I know billionaires who ski less than me.
Sir, iam simple guy from Baku, 17y.o , I get 1580 (cheat) on the sat, this is absolutely not my result, since when I did the trials it came out 900+, do you think it's worth applying to top universities since this is not my result? I'm afraid that I'll be kicked out of there, I just want to study at a top university and make my own AI startup

Thanks sir
Ah right before the main EU PhD application cycle, good timing ':(... Looking for Phds and pre-docs in theoretical physics, specifically Quantum Information Theory in Europe. Compared to the average guy I feel I have a lot going for myself but compared to the absolute killers in my field with several awards, pre phd publications and perfect 4.0's I often end up feeling like a failure.
Damn - well we all deal with this from time to time. Even the people you consider “absolute killers”. Best of luck to you! 😊
Can you compare U.S. schools to german ones?
Currently studying in germany. It's tough too
I think it can be the same thing at German universities. Just less amplified as it is at places such at Harvard and MIT. But you still feel the same effect
Weirdly, the numbers of both tables both times add up to exactly 100% … One may not see the problem here, but to answer "How many percent of STEM students get their Degree by Math SAT tertile", there is no reason at all to assume it must add up to 100% among the tertiles, which it does.
Therefore, I believe the table is misinterpreted, but not by you but by Malcom Gladwell, who probably invented this rumour. He once held a speech with the same statistic but (oddly) did not specify on his slides what the numbers mean. He concluded the same as you did, but probably fitted the meaning of the data (i.e. changed what it stood for) to support his argument.
I don't blame you, since Gladwell was the inventor of this lie. If you are aware, could you cite the study. Then we would be able to see what these statistics were actually supposed to capture.
Isn't that just calculate (number of graduates / total number of students = Z) for each group A, B, and C and then express Z_a, Z_b, and Z_c as percentiles?
@@lex6709 to calculate the graduation rate for each group, you would divide the n. of graduates in the tertile group x by the n. of students in tertile group x, which the argument of Gladwell is based on ("How good you are relative to your peers determines your success probability, not how good you are in general").
You are right in that your formula was presumably the one used by the researchers. However, it does not support the argument by Gladwell and he, I believe, intentionally misled the audience by changing the meaning of the data. I believe this because in his original speech, Gladwell showed no title of the table.
Did I miss something?
I think it may the the percentages of total graduates at the university inSTEM vs which third of SAT ranks they come from. But still, I should have looked at this more carefully. Thank you for pointing it out. Next time I need to do better research - even when I think the sourced are credible
Hey Sam, really appreciate your work, I have a question for you, how can I be driven and motivated in achieving my career goals in the age of AI when we don´t really know when AGI will be here, It´s like a cognitive disonance to me since I see AI as something with lot´s of potential to benefit humanity, and I wanna be a Machine Learning Engineer, on the other hand I feel about the progress on this field as a threat to my career goals and motivations, I would love to hear your insight, good luck man, really like your videos and what you bring to us :)
AGI is not a threat to your career in ML. On the contrary. It is the biggest opportunity out there. The better you get at using AI tools and working on AI, the more advantage you can take of these great tools coming up. I think there has never been a better time to get into AI than now
@@SamuelBoschMIT thx for your time bro, but so, do you see a world were tech jobs, like ml engineers, are far away from getting replaced by an advanced AI? and how can I be driven to help developing AI while embracing the fact that sooner or later I might be building my own replacement, any philosophical advice you recommend for those cases? thx haha srry for all of this but you are the best person I could think of to ask this
you still have the spectre hairstyle !
ahhahah I'll take that as a compliment :)

Students go to MIT should be aware that hard working and learning alone are not adequate substitution for talent. Especially, discipline of pure mathematics you have to be born for it.
if they got into mit they have the talent, its for us other peasants that its rough in terms of talent
@quantumspark343 I see, you love physics. But one critical point should be aware of - that is the mathematics is overused in physics. In clear text, the maths is a powerful tool to discover patterns in the experimental data, therefore the maths will give you a shortcut to formulate physics laws, without truthly understanding physics. resp. the reasoning behind those laws why they even exist.
thats quite opposite to reality. infact, mit or other top students usually realise that 'talent' isnt comparable to hardwork, no one is going to be able solve any meaningful problem without learning the basics, no matter how 'smart' they are. think of it this way, someone who wasnt taught calculus might solve a differential theorem, but it will take their entire life time since they will need to prove calculus from sketch, which is exactly what newton did. he didnt just come up with a solution because he was born for it, he worked hard. he obsessed.
and there is no proof for general intelligence, on such a sophisticated topic, you should stick to scientific facts instead of hollywood explanation of 'being born for it'. there is no maths gene.
@ege8240 you can became mathematican with obessetion and hard working, that is no doubt about it. But to be brillant is hary working not good enough, you need talent or we can say tendency to pure maths. I do not talk about subjects like linear algebra or calculus - it go far beyond those basics. Believe me, you need your talent, otherwise you will not survive those pure maths classes. It has no exception for MIT students and even harder for them.
I feel like you are super focused on achievements and accolades. make sure thats what u actually want though. Could I have done a path where I became a super published and respoected academic? Probably. Is that what i want out of life? NO. I would rather make mid six figures and go skiing every day. I know billionaires who ski less than me.
That Erika plug 💀💀
😂😂😂
wtf is a 300000$ internship bro
It's insane ahhahaha
6:28 😂
WoW 3 IPhO!!!! I'm cooked
📈📈📈
Sir, iam simple guy from Baku, 17y.o , I get 1580 (cheat) on the sat, this is absolutely not my result, since when I did the trials it came out 900+, do you think it's worth applying to top universities since this is not my result? I'm afraid that I'll be kicked out of there, I just want to study at a top university and make my own AI startup
are you sponsored by ralph lauren ? You should seek to be a brand ambassador or something haha
Do you know someone who works there? 😂
You had went to mit i also wanna go there
💩
