15:25So school is great for many things like making friends and having fun and memorizing the quadratic formula.
所以学校有很多作用，比如交朋友、玩乐和记忆二次公式。
Turn to page 394.
翻到第 394 页。
But it failed to prepare us for the real world where we've got to do things like manager finances and deal with annoying managers and figure out what the hell to actually do with our lives.
但它没能让我们为现实世界做好准备，在现实世界中，我们必须做从事财务经理这样的工作，和烦人的经理打交道，并弄清楚我们到底该怎么生活。
So after interviewing a huge range of ridiculously successful people on my podcast from academics to multi-millionaire entrepreneurs to YouTubers to life coaches, I've learned so many lessons that I wish we were taught in school.
因此，我在的播客中采访了一系列极其成功的人士，从学者到百万富翁企业家，从 YouTube 博主们到生活教练，我学到了很多教训，这些是我希望我们能在学校学到的。
And so in this video we're gonna go through seven of my personal favorites.
在这段视频中，我们将回顾我个人最喜欢的七个教训。
So the first lesson comes from Tim Armoo who is an entrepreneur here in the UK and he sold his first company for several tens of millions of dollars at the age of 27.
第一个教训来自蒂姆·阿莫，他是英国的一位企业家，他在 27 岁的时候以数千万美元的价格卖掉了他的第一家公司。
One of the things that I really enjoyed working with, you know, high performing people is that they just generally have a bias towards action.
我非常喜欢和高绩效的人一起工作的一点是，他们的行动力通常很强。
They know that they can try several things and maybe quite a few of them would flop, but they're not concerned with that.
他们知道他们可以尝试几件事，也许很多会失败，但他们并不关心这个。
They're just concerned with taking as many shots on go.
他们只关心在旅途中拍摄尽可能多的镜头。
So the thing school teaches us is to be very risk-averse.
所以学校把我们教导得非常厌恶风险。
Because of the system of grading and assignments, we put in a lot of effort and then we hand it in and then we get a grade back.
因为评分和作业系统，我们付出了很多努力，然后我们上交作业，然后我们得到一个分数。
And often that grading system can lead to a lot of perfectionism and a lot of anxiety, especially when leaderboards and rankings and stuff are involved.
通常这种评分系统会导致很多完美主义和焦虑，尤其是涉及排行榜和排名之类的东西时。
When we get an assignment at school, there's usually a deadline and there are no prizes for getting in the thing early or for doing twice as many or 10 times as many things.
当我们在学校接到作业时，通常会有截止日期，提前完成任务或完成两倍或 10 倍的量是没有奖励的。
All that matters is just that one piece of packaging that little thing that you hand to the teacher and then the grade.
所有重要的只是把你交给老师的小东西包装好，然后获得成绩。
And that's just not how things work in the real world.
现实世界不是这样的。
In the real world, if you want to succeed, a lot of it is about just doing lots and lots and lots of the thing that you're trying to do.
在现实世界中，如果你想成功，很多时候就是做很多很多你正在努力做的事情。
Like if you're trying to make a career in almost any creative field, it's way more important that you try and get lots of clients and get lots of practice in.
就像如果你想在几乎任何创意领域发展事业，更重要的是你要努力争取很多客户，并进行大量实践。
Then you spend absolutely ages trying to hone and perfect that one specific thing.
然后你要花很长时间试图磨练和完善一件特定的事情。
And definitely one of the characteristics of the most successful people I have ever met and interviewed through the podcast or anything else is just that they have this bias towards action.
当然，我通过播客或其他任何方式遇到和采访的最成功的人的一个特征就是他们行动力极强。
They spend a lot less time overthinking doing the thing and a lot more time actually doing the thing.
他们不怎么把时间花在过度思考上，而把更多时间花在真正做这件事上。
And one of the lessons that I've really learned over the last six years of growing this YouTube channel is that action is really the foundation.
在过去六年经营这个 YouTube 频道的过程中，我真正学到的一个教训是，行动才是真正的基础。
And overthinking can be sprinkled on top of it.
而过度思考可以作为点缀。
It's something I say to my students in my part-time YouTuber Academy that you're allowed to overthink your niche or whatever, your strategy, or you like as long as you are taking action.
这是我在 YouTuber Academy 时对我的学生说的，只要你在采取行动，你就可以过度思考你的利基市场或其他什么，你的策略，或者你喜欢的东西。
But if you're trying to do all of the strategy stuff and trying to think a lot before you even do anything at all, then you're not really gonna get anywhere.
但是如果你努力做所有跟战略有关的工作，并在做任何事情之前思考很多，那么你不会真正有任何进展。
And there's a nice quote that I often think about, which is that it's a lot easier to steer a moving ship than a stationary ship.
我经常想起一句名言，驾驶一艘移动的船比驾驶一艘静止的船容易得多。
So if you right now are struggling with something where you are staying stationary and you're letting overthinking paralyze you from taking action, recognize that it's way easier to change course once you've already started moving.
所以，如果你现在正在与一些停滞不前的事情作斗争，你任由过度思考让你无法采取行动，请认识到一旦你已经开始行动，改变方向要容易得多。
So have that bias towards action.
所以行动力要强。
Oh, by the way, quick thing.
哦，顺便说一下，很快的。

Lesson number two comes from Alex Hormozi who is another entrepreneur with a net worth of over 100 million dollars for whatever that's worth.
第二个教训来自亚历克斯·霍莫齐，他是另一位净资产超过 1 亿美元的企业家。
And this is what he had to say.
以下是他不得不说的话。
It's a whole S&P 500 versus SME 500, but like you will get a significantly higher return investing in your own ability to make money than you will in any... any market.
这完全就是标准普尔 500 指数对中小企业 500 指数，但是你投资自己赚钱的能力得到的回报会明显高于你投资任何股票市场的回报。
You will get outsized returns on the... on the information, right, on the knowledge and the lessons that you will learn.
你会得到信息方面的巨大回报，对吧，你将学到的知识和教训。
And so you want to... you want to pay that ignorance down as fast as you can because as soon as you have that knowledge, you'll be able to skyrocket straight to 20,50,100,500,000 a month, like very quickly, because you know how to do it.
所以你想......你想尽快消除你的无知，因为一旦你有了这些知识，你就可以直接飙升到每月赚 2 万，5 万，10 万，50 万，非常快，因为你知道怎么做。
So the thing that school encourages us to do is to treat school as our learning time and then treat our career as our earning time.
所以学校鼓励我们把学校当成我们的学习时间，然后把我们的职业生涯当成我们赚钱的时间。
And often people will be looking at things like, "Oh, I could get this job because the starting salary is X".
人们通常会看到这样的事情，“哦，我能得到这份工作，因为起薪是 X”。
So, you know, this kind of stuff.
所以，你知道的，诸如此类。
But really learning is a lifelong endeavor.
但是学习确实是终身的。
And especially after you leave school and when you actually join the workforce, or you actually try to start a business, that is where the bulk of your learning is really done.
尤其是在你离开学校后，当你真正进入劳动力市场，或者你真正尝试创业时，你的大部分学习才真正完成。
Like in medicine for example, you spend six years in medical school, but the first two weeks that you're actually working as a doctor, the amount of stuff you learn in that two weeks is like way way way more dense and way more like immediately accessible than the stuff that you learn in six years of medical school.
就像医学一样，你在医学院呆了六年，但是你真正成为医生的前两周，你在那两周学到的东西比你在医学院六年学到的东西要密集得多，也更容易理解。
And one of the key points that Hormozi says is really about this idea that as you're going through your career journey, you're always trying to pay down ignorance debt.
霍莫齐所说的关键点之一就是这个想法，当你处于你的职业生涯时，你总是试图偿还无知的债务。
Like the reason that you don't make 10 million dollars a year right now, I suspec, is because you just don't know how to make 10 million dollars a year.
我想，你现在一年赚不到 1000 万美元的原因是因为你不知道如何一年赚 1000 万美元。
And therefore not knowing how to make 10 million a year is costing you and me around 10 million a year.
因此，不知道如何 1000 万每年要花费你和我大约 1000 万。
It's like there's this whole ignorance debt that we have to pay off.
我们必须偿还一大堆无知债务。
And the people who are making a million or 10 million a year are the ones who know how to do it.
那些一年挣一百万或 1000 万的人是那些知道怎么做的人。
So for example, let's say you happen to have a hundred dollars to spare.
比如，假设你刚好有一百美元。
You could decide to invest the money by putting it into the S&P 500 and then it grows at five to seven percent a year.
你可以决定把钱投资到标准普尔 500 指数中，然后它以每年 5% 到 7% 的速度增长。
Or you can instead take that 100 dollars and invest it in improving and learning your own skills and the return on that is way higher than the value you're going to get putting it in stock market index funds.
或者你可以把这 100 美元用于提高和学习你自己的技能上，回报远远高于你投资股票市场指数基金的价值。
Like you could spend that a hundred dollars on buying 10 business books that are all about how to get rich if you want to make money.
比如如果你想赚钱，你可以花 100 美元买 10 本关于如何致富的商业书籍。
And those would give you way higher returns than the poultry returns you're gonna get in the stock market.
这会给你带来比你在股票市场上得到的更高的回报。
And then even in the jobs that you choose, you really want to prioritize learning rather than earning especially towards the start of your career.
然后即使在你选择的工作中，你也得优先考虑学习而不是赚钱，尤其是在你职业生涯的开始。
So in this video, we've been talking about loads of different ways in which you can learn the skills that schools don't teach you.
所以在这个视频中，我们一直在谈论各种你可以学到学校不会教你的技能的方法。
And if you're looking for a platform to learn the skills on, then you might like to check out Skillshare who are very kindly sponsoring this video.

Alright, lesson number three comes from Grace Beverly who is another multi-millionaire entrepreneur.
好了，第三个教训来自格雷斯·贝弗利，她是另一位百万富翁企业家。
I happen to interview a lot of these people on the podcast.
我碰巧在播客中采访了很多这样的人。
And Grace started off her career as a fitness influencer and is now running two hugely successful companies.
格蕾丝的职业生涯始于健身网红达人，现在经营着两家非常成功的公司。
And this is her take on self-care.
这是她对自我照顾的看法。
So I think that's one of the... like one of the main triggers for the book was actually the fact that like people would be like, "Oh, self-care, relax." And I'd be like, actually, sometimes self-care is meeting that deadline that you're currently not on track to meet.
所以我认为我写这本书的主要原因之一是因为实际上人们会想，“哦，自我照顾，放松。”我想，实际上，有时候自我照顾是赶上你目前没有达到的最后期限。
But actually, respecting your future self and your goals is getting them up and doing the work that you need to do for that.
但实际上，尊重你未来的自我和你的目标就是站起来，做你需要为此做的工作。
And like we cannot market self-care as always like doing nothing.
我们不能像往常一样在推广自我照顾时把它等同于什么都不做。
Sometimes self-care is working harder because you're currently not working in line with what you want to make happen.
有时候自我照顾代表着更加努力，因为你目前的工作不符合你想要实现的目标。
So school doesn't teach us a lot about the idea of self-care or about how to look after ourselves.
所以学校并没有教给我们很多关于自我照顾的概念或者如何照顾自己。
But occasionally in like lessons in school and even sometimes at university, you'll get the idea that self-care is like making time for yourself and having a bath and taking a mindful walk in nature and all of that kind of fun stuff.
但偶尔在学校的课堂上，甚至在大学的课堂上，你会觉得自我照顾就是为自己腾出时间，洗个澡，在大自然中漫步，以及所有那些有趣的事情。
And while that stuff is important, I think Grace's point here is that often what self-care looks like is productivity.
虽然这些东西很重要，但我认为格蕾丝的观点是，自我照顾通常看起来是生产力。
Sometimes self-care is genuinely working harder than you currently are because actually you want to be at a certain place and you know that being at that place will ease up some kind of stress in your life.
有时候自我照顾其实是比你现在更努力，因为实际上你想达到某个状态，你知道在那个状态下会减轻你生活中的某种压力。
Maybe it's financial.
也许是经济上的。
And so in those contexts, the best form of self-care is maybe to start that side hustle or to get a little bit better at your job rather than doing a binge of three hours of whatever on Netflix.
所以在这种情况下，最好的自我照顾方式也许是开始做副业，或者在你的工作中表现得更好一点，而不是在 Netflix 刷三小时剧。
Alright, tip number four is another piece of career advice that they often don't teach you in school.
好的，第四个技巧又是一条他们通常不会在学校教你的职业建议。
And this comes from Daniel Priestly who is another multi-millionaire, serial entrepreneur and a book author.
它来自丹尼尔·普里斯特利，他也是一位千万富翁、连续创业者兼作者。
And here is what he recommends about your first job outside of school or university.
以下是他对你校外第一份工作的建议。
It's... it's massively useful to join someone else's startup.
加入别人的创业公司非常有用。
Like I would highly recommend that to absolutely anyone.
我会强烈建议任何人这样做。
So here's what goes wrong with a lot of young people.
很多年轻人存在这样达到问题。
They go to careers fairs and all that sort of stuff.
他们会去招聘会之类的地方。
It's only big corporates that exhibit.
而只有大公司才能宣传。
So they end up being funneled down the big corporate path.
所以他们最终被引导到大公司的道路上。
You know, just things like how do you send out like a big bulk email to a list, or where do you get a list from, or like how do you sit down and have a lunch and negotiate a joint venture, for me my two years doing that when I was 19 to 21, I actually got to sit in on those meetings.
你知道，例如如何向一个列表发送大量电子邮件，或者你从哪里得到一个列表，或者你如何坐下来吃午饭并谈判合资企业，对我来说，我在 19 到 21 岁的两年间一直在做这些事情，我实际上参加了各种会议。
So school and university and career counselors tend to only really encourage us to work for big corporations because big corporations are generally the only ones who can afford to have their... to have the talks at the universities, that have their brochures displayed at careers fairs.
所以学校、大学和职业顾问倾向于只真正鼓励我们为大公司工作，因为大公司通常是唯一能负担得起在大学里进行演讲，在招聘会上展示他们的小册子的机构。
Big corporations are also the ones that career counselors are gonna be more familiar with.
大公司也是职业顾问会更熟悉的公司。
But relatively speaking, there's only a tiny number of companies that are actually big corporations and there are millions more that are small businesses that have between 0 and 10 employees.
但相对而言，只有少数公司实际上是大公司，还有数百万家拥有 0 到 10 名员工的小企业。
Now the issue with getting a corporate job is that you are a very small cog in a very very big machine and so your capacity for learning is actually very limited because it's confined to learning within your own role or learning within the role of just like your direct manager.
在大公司工作的问题是，你只是一个非常非常大的机器上的一个非常小的齿轮，所以你的学习容量实际上非常有限，因为它仅限于在你自己的职责内学习，或者像你的直属上级一样在你的职责内学习。
Whereas if you join a small startup instead that has fewer than 10 employees, you'll suddenly learn everything about the whole business.
然而，如果你加入一个员工不到 10 人的小型初创企业，你会突然了解整个企业的一切。
You'll probably get visibility over the revenue and the profits and how the company's thinking about setting goals, and how management works, and how leadership works, and how hiring and firing and onboarding and accounting and all the different skills associated with running a business work, so that even if you don't aspire to run your own business someday, but especially if you do, working at a small startup instead of maybe a corporation massively levels up your ability to learn.
你可能会了解收入和利润，以及公司如何考虑设定目标，以及管理是如何运作的，领导力是如何运作的，招聘、解雇、入职和会计以及与经营企业相关的所有不同技能是如何运作的，所以即使你不渴望有一天经营自己的企业，但是如果你想，尤其是如果你渴望经营自己的企业，在一家小型初创公司而不是公司工作会大大提高你的学习能力。
And this is true even if the big corporation is fancy and the small company is tiny.
即使大公司很高大上，小公司很小，这也是事实。
Like for example, you'd probably learn way more about business by working for a small plumbing company than you would learning about a massive industry that you're a small cog if you joined a big management consulting firm, for example.
例如，你通过在一家小型管道公司工作学到的商业的知识可能比你加入一家大型管理咨询公司学到的关于大型行业的知识要多得多，因为在那里你只是一个小齿轮。
And the great thing is you can always join the big corporation later on once you've learned those interesting skills about how to run a business that you've learned from working at a startup.
最棒的是，一旦你掌握了在初创公司工作中学到的如何经营企业的技能，你以后也可以加入大公司。
But often if you work for a big corporation, you get the gold on handcuffs, then you're like you're used to a certain standard of living and they pay loads of money, and then you won't want to take a pay cut in the future.
但是通常如果你在一家大公司工作，你会带上金手铐（注：诱人安于现职而不跳槽的津贴），然后你会习惯于特定的生活水平，他们会付很多钱，然后你不想在未来减薪。
Whereas straight out of university or straight out of school, that's the best time to work for these small businesses.
然而，大学一毕业或学校一毕业，这是为这些小企业工作的最佳时机。
Oh, and if you're enjoying these tips so far, I would love it if you can drop a cheeky thumbs up on the video.
哦，如果到目前为止你喜欢这些建议，如果你能给视频点个赞，我会很高兴的。
It really helps support the channel.
它确实有助于支持本频道。
Alright, tip number five comes from Professor Grace Lorden who is a professor of behavioral economics at the London School of Economics.
第五条建议来自格蕾丝·洛登教授，她是伦敦经济学院的行为经济学教授。
And she has written this fantastic book, Think Big, Take Small Steps and Build The Future You Want, which is really about evidence-based career advice.
她写了一本很棒的书，《放眼远大，迈出小步，打造你想要的未来》，这本书的主要内容是基于证据的职业建议。
And this is what she has to say about choosing a career.
以下是她对选择职业的看法。
Because I've noticed a lot of times when I talk to people about careers, they're attached to a label.
因为我注意到很多时候当我和人们谈论职业时，他们都被贴上了标签。
So they want to be a trader or an investment banker, or they want to be a doctor.
所以他们想成为交易员或投资银行家，或者他们想成为医生。
Or they're attached to a lifestyle.
或者他们依附于一种生活方式。
So they want to be able to go on a particular vacation or buy a particular car.
所以他们希望能够去一个特定地方度假或者买一辆特定的车。
And the kind of think big journey is really thinking about if I were to be a doctor, if I were to be a trader, what would be the tasks that I would be doing on a day-to-day basis and would I ultimately end up enjoying those tasks, so the activities that I'm gonna spend the time in?
这种职业选择实际上是在想，如果我成为一名医生，如果我成为一名交易员，我每天会做什么任务，我最终会喜欢这些任务吗，这些我要花时间进行的活动？
And again, school encourages us to focus on the title.
同样地，学校鼓励我们专注于头衔。
If a career counselor asks "what you want to be when you grow up", they might expect you to say banker or lawyer, or doctor, or engineer, or that kind of thing.
如果职业顾问问“你长大后想做什么”，他们可能会希望你说银行家或律师，或医生，或工程师，或诸如此类的东西。
And all these are really just titles.
而这些其实都只是头衔。
Like they don't actually tell you very much about what you're going to be doing day to day.
他们并没有告诉你很多关于你每天要做什么的内容。
But what basically all the evidence from behavioral science says is that if you really want to build a career that you love and feel fulfilled in your career, it's a lot more about the actions that you're taking day to day rather than what job title is on your business card.
但是基本上所有来自行为科学的证据表明，如果你真的想创建一个你热爱并在职业生涯中感到满足的职业，更重要的是你每天做的事情，而不是名片上的职位。
And so this idea of task-centric rather than title-centric career planning is another skill that you can learn outside of school, that you should learn outside of school, that school is almost never gonna teach you.
因此，以任务为中心而不是以头衔为中心的职业规划是另一种你可以在校外学到的技能，你应该在校外学习，因为学校几乎不会教你。
All right, for tip number six, we are back to Tim Armoo, the entrepreneur who sold his company for several tens of millions at the age of 27.
好的，建议六，我们又要回到蒂姆·阿莫，他是一位企业家，他在 27 岁时以数千万的价格卖掉了他的公司。
But it's very important to focus on like the skills and actually cultivating skills, which can then lead to money, which is things like you know marketing and sales, and copywriting, things like that.
但是专注于技能和实际培养技能是非常重要的，这可以盈利，就像，你知道的，营销和销售，文案，诸如此类的事情。
Like you want to focus on just like being of use to the economy, because if you're of like general use in some way, people will pay you for that.
你想专注于为经济做贡献，因为如果你在某种程度上能做出贡献，人们会为此付钱给你。
And like that's the way that you create value.
这就是你创造价值的方式。
So the things that we learn in school tend not to be correlated with the things that actually contribute to career or economical or financial success.
所以我们在学校学到的东西往往与真正有助于职业、经济或财务成功的东西无关。
And so if you're trying to make money or trying to get rich or whatever the thing might be, it's worth appreciating what are the skills specifically that increase your own personal stock price, that increase your ability to add value... value to the economy, and that therefore will increase the salary that you can earn if you're an employee and also the profits you can generate if you start your own business.
所以如果你想赚钱，或者想变得富有，或者不管是什么，你应该知晓哪些技能可以提高你自己的股票价格，提高你增加价值的能......为经济创造价值，因此，如果你是一名雇员，你可以获得更高的工资，如果你自己创业，你可以产生更多的利润。
So for example, in school you can learn a lot about maths and calculus and stuff, but you learned very little about reading a financial balance sheet or even about using a program like Microsoft Excel, which is actually a hugely valuable skill for the economy.
举个例子，在学校你会学到很多关于数学和微积分的知识，但是你几乎不会学习如何阅读财务资产负债表，甚至是如何使用像微软 Excel 这样的程序，而这实际上是一项对经济非常有价值的技能。
In history, you might learn about the kings and queens of England, but you're unlikely to learn about the rise and fall of different economic and financial systems, which again is knowledge that is more directly applicable and will be more likely to help you if you do have the goal of making money further down the line.
学习历史的时候，你可能会了解英国的国王和王后，但你不太可能了解不同经济和金融体系的兴衰，而这也是更直接适用的知识，如果你真的有赚钱的目标，这将更有可能帮助你。
And so really after school, it comes back to this point of learning.
所以离开学校后，又回到了学习这一点。
You want to learn the skills that will improve your own ability to be successful in whatever field you set your mind to.
你想学习一些技能，这些技能将提高你在任何你下定决心的领域取得成功的能力。
Oh, by the way, just in case you didn't know.
哦，顺便说一句，以防你不知道。
I actually have a podcast.
实际上我有一个播客。
It's called Deep dive with Ali Abdaal where I've done these interviews from and that is available completely for free on any podcast app, including its very own YouTube channel.
它叫做 Deep dive with Ali Abdaal，我在那里进行了这些采访，在任何播客应用程序上都可以免费获得，包括它自己的 YouTube 频道。
So if you're like me and you vibe with the idea of lifelong learning, then you can listen in as I personally learn from all of these people that I'm interviewing.
所以如果你像我一样有终身学习的想法，那么你可以听听我个人从我采访的所有这些人那里学到的东西。
And then tip number seven comes from professional poker player, author and entrepreneur Chris Sparks.
第七条建议来自职业扑克玩家、作者兼企业家克里斯·斯帕克斯。
