Self-Directed Learning: Loving to Learn
In this video, we explore the concept of self-directed learning and how to cultivate a love for learning on your own terms. The journey begins by setting boundaries during your study sessions-ensuring that you stay focused on specific objectives to avoid getting overwhelmed.
We delve into the idea of rewiring your brain to replace negative associations with learning. For many, memories of being scolded by teachers or parents, or struggling with subjects that seemed impossible, have led to a fear or dislike of learning. But it’s time to change that.
By practicing self-compassion and taking small steps, you can learn to enjoy the process of learning again. We even recommend a powerful optional step: recall the last math class you felt confident in, and then take the next step forward by enrolling in a Khan Academy course for that subject.
Finally, we emphasize the importance of celebrating your achievements, no matter how small, as you embark on this self-directed learning journey. Whether it’s mastering a new concept or simply dedicating time to learn, every victory counts.

Right to the point! Thanks for the video
Hey bro thank you much this was extremely helpful for me. Hopefully I'll owe you a coffee 😅
You are welcome
Thanks. Currently, I am in the process of enrollment @ WGU for cloud computing. With zero experience. Thanks for the professional tips. I needed this.
Amazing video!! Gave me reassurance ❤
Thank you
Excellent video Faisal.
Amazing content sir thank u
Terrific explanation on the Lex response and how to parse it and send a response back. Wow!
Can Non Techie, Commerce Graduate get job in Cloud Environment, especially AWS Solution Architect role, what are chances of non techie who understand AWS services and how AWS services work.
Yes but you should start with a tester or Business analyst job. It's tough to hire someone fresh as an architect. That position requires experience
Thank you so much for sharing this info.
Do you need a college degree to get in ?
No you do not. It helps but is not a requirement
great advise. thank you for posting.
You are doing God's work Faisal
This video is great! I am building a bot with Lex V2 and am trying to refactor the Lambda code from V1 (this video). I've checked the documentation and can't seem find out how to make it work. Would anyone perhaps have a copy of the updated Lambda code for Lex V2? Thanks!
Greetings! I just passed my AWS solutions architect as well as an AA degree. Curious as to what should be my next step towards a rewarding career in IT. I have connected my AWS badge to my linkedin account as well. Would a CompTIA Security Plus certification be of any help? What would you recommend? Also looking for a way to gain some experience and expose my self to real work-environment scenarios without having to go to school. Thanks!
@zino He mentioned as AWS solutions Arch..........
Bull sh***
Good one ...

Great advice sir
The best advice i got is from you... I'm currently working at Amazon as SME in operations...but i want to move in to AWS probably internally at Amazon. This really helped and encouraged.
Best of luck.

Some of these steps seem like they can be done simultaneously.
If I am using this inside an Amazon Connect Contact flow, How can I call and set the response Content inside the Set Contact Attribute block?
This is absolutely awesome. I am going to do it right now. Would be great to see followup video on how to actually deploy this in production, for example on website or integrate with existing system, etc. - just to get a feel about real user experience
Try these 4 video part series. I go into a little more details

What's the salary like for a newbie in cloud? I've been hearing 90k and others say 100k+
Hi… I am a working professional with no IT experience.I am in to Marketing and sales. Is it possible for me to make a career in cloud computing?If so which field so I opt for,and what all courses and certifications required.
Salam Faisal hope all is well I just finished CCNA do you think I can shift to cloud as it has peaked my interest more
You should pursue thatwhich interests you. It is difficult to stay motivated trying to do something you don't enjoy so if you enjoy cloud computing go for it
Thank you for the video very interesting ! If i start a career as a BA and decide to jump into Cloud hows the transition should be done or how can we get involve in the cloud field ?
When you start as a BA, start pursuing certification on the side such as AWS cloud practitioner and aws Developer. Also, ask to be part of any team that is doing cloud work. It's a good way to get your foot in the door.

hey can we use bot in amazon chime for private message or is it we have to use bot in room (in case of amazon chime)
I couldn't thank you enough for posting this video and helping out the whole community. I was such a lost soul until I found guidance and clarity in this video. Thank you again. Much love!

Hi Faisal, your video is great, but it is in v1. Now I can't use v1 at all, so the tutorial is not working for me. I don't know why AWS made it harder in new version. I even can't find how to easily add Lambda function to bot.
Great video! Thanks a lot <3
Great Video! Can you help me understand what is the difference between the intent fulfillment states(Fulfilled, InProgress and ReadyForFulfillment) ? and in which case each is used?

Great Advice. Hope to owe you coffee.
I will do exactly this because I want to owe you coffee. I gained my cloud Practitioner certification last year December but been thinking of what to do next. Thank you so much
are there free sites to get educated on this?
Thanks a lot sir. I have learnt many things. Hoping for some more like these in python. Thanks
This was super helpful, my dude 🙌🙌
