Tried to start stopping quitting but i quit that too
Just gotta quit quitting so you can still be a quitter but... Successfully
Well, then you just have to stop quitting stopping quitting.
If you quit on stopping quitting does that make you a success?
yah me too im like 2 mins in the vid i think im gona go watch pulp fiction cause i havent seen it
This sounds like a line from a bluegrass song
DO THE BACKFLIP AGAIN DONT QUIT
its easier than u think, when you get over the backflip fear. the best way to learn is with a spotter
(i tell you this by experience)
**Proceeds to try and breaks neck**
Plz, i have always wanted to see you retry it
Don't quit on the backflip you got it
The fear is so real.
I was able to backflip for a while, but I bailed one hard and the fear got me. Now I can do it with a spotter, but on my own it's a no-no.
It's so frustrating when you lose progress in your learning :c
@@DustyHyphen i did it with a spotter and it helped me get over the back flip fear but i only felt confortable doing it like 1 month of practise
My band teacher always said “Practice makes perfect, granted the practice is perfect.” He said playing a fast song slow but getting the notes right will help us much more than playing it the correct speed but with the incorrect notes
Bryce Offutt same! Break it up in pieces, and speed up just a little bit and start ‘collecting’ pieces slowly! (I play trumpet (and more) and you can use more instruments too!)
If you can play it slow, you can play it fast!
I prefer the saying "practice makes progress" because perfection is one's own idea it doesn't exist
Practice don't do shit, been playing for about 6 years and still at beginner stage
@Nick does Quad drumming jamming is practice but I haven't been jamming I've been practicing 6 years trying to hold and play with a pick and that is absolutely impossible.
It's too hard and i cant do it and it's not fair
Practice is just a myth
the ironic thing is i QUIT this video to go do something and never came back to it...
How are you commenting if you never came back?
Piano Medleys never watched the rest of the video lol
@@imtiredgoodnight kept tabs. I do that but I put it in playlists lol
Isaac Mendoza and i come never back to the Playlist hahaha
@@StolenTorchGuy same, I've saved so many videos to my watch later..but I never watch later.
1. Set a goal.
2.Start.
3.Use pomodoro
4.Practice smart
5.Take a break
6.Celebrate
thank u
Thanks, this helped me alot
this looks like a shitpost with "pomodoro" in there, pomodoro means tomato in italian so its even sillier to me
@@lucacanali7196 The guy that 'invented' the method named it after his tomato shaped kitchen timer.
@Huckleberry Finn Pomodoro is just a technique or tool for concentrating a certain amount of time and then you take a break and do it again.

Damn straight
Learning while teaching us.
What a legend
Nakeyjakey talked about how his dad said, that being a dad was "hanging out, teaching you stuff, while you taught me stuff".
A good teacher is always in progress, and so is a student. So in a way, we're all teachers and students for each other.

Wow your channel looks awesome, so glad I found you
Joe!!
If there are any other strategies people have to stop quitting stuff you pick, I'd love to hear them. Comment below! 😎
Dropping out of school & growing back willpower
not sure if this was mention in the video as i haven't seen it yet but one i know of is setting a consequence if you don't achive your goal.
I recently started going to the gym 6 days ago, now for 2 weeks haven't stopped foot or even felt like going.
Good luck reading that
Mike Boyd hey mike I don’t have any strategies for that but can you make a video on solving the 7x7 I can solve it just about it’s a bit like a 5x5 but u only need one more algorithm I’d love it if you have it a go. Adam
1:44 Setting a Goal...establish a reason Why you want it.
3:27 Getting Started
5:08 Use Pomodoro to avoid Fatigue/dip in performance/mood shatter and keep morale high.

im still trash though.
@@squeeler1598 I can’t play 170 bpm it’s to slow for my mind (stream not jumps)
Edit : I just realized I can’t quit osu! and this vid made me not quit it even more
After rewatching this I after a couple years I realized that this video helped with everything I’ve done in the last 3 years this has been live. I got into rock climbing less than a year ago and around 3-4 months in I was about ready to throw in the towel. Instead tho, I begin to slow down and concentrate on the problem I’m front of me. Thank you so much for this video Mike
Started the video but then stopped, guess I'll never find out.
Finally, someone else who writes with their left hand but does everything else with their right! I thought I was the only one. Amazing video btw thank you for uploading.
I started stopping quitting.
Tasked Failed Successfully
texno cool
This is trippy
No joke, I started a school project about an hour ago and I went on youtube cause it was boring and this video came up.
Ninjakuben better do that mf project
Ninjakuben How’d you do on the project?
11 months
Ninjakuben A year later, have you finished the project yet?
legend says hes still doing it.
Mike you didn't finish the vid where you were learning backflip

Hehe
Hi Mike, I'm new but already a big fan of yours. I have a suggestion for your next video. You could learn some pen tricks like pen spinning. It looks easy but it's a hard learning skill that also looks very cool.
I hope that I helped you with your next video.
Goodbye, I'm now going to wait for your next ( epic ) video.☺
OMG YES. Dude I was just about to comment this, due to the reason I've been getting into pen spinning. It would be very epic if he does this. ;)
Awesome idea! @mike, try to mimic your favorite trick from this subreddit www.reddit.com/r/penspinning/
Hyperthai didnt you look at the video the first tip he gave is to just start and don’t buy gear and that stuff
I saw a coment like this on his another video a year ago and that gave me ideq to learn thumb-around so i did
Then a later video drumstick tricks
Easy!
Quit before you start
i needed this, starting a new CZcams channel, thank you
Thank you so much. I almost quit drinking but thanks to this video I will continue!
😂😂😂😂
The same about me and cocaine
Mike is my hero
Thank you Ali for giving me a good laugh two years after you made the joke! XD
So underrated i dont even know how he does not have like 10mil subscribers
It's hard for a channel like him. Learning skills takes time, which means he doesn't get to post frequently. To beat the youtube algorithm you gotta upload much more frequently. It's not a coincidence that the biggest CZcamsrs upload nearly every day
Eric Mathiesen
True but every upload pays off lets be honest
Amazing that you have become the master of learning. Anything is possible :D
not backflip tho
hey man this is exactly what I needed to get back on track. thank you for sharing
I have a hard time not stopping this video, I need a How to stop stopping how to stop quitting everything you start video.
"Just start" is now my new motto!
Wow, seriously thank you for making this video! This has helped me change my own perspective, my problem would've have been researching and then burning out before I had even started.
@@ali-huakbar2176 very nice motto there
@@callumsturman6465 thank you
I remember when you teached Kim how to juggle... and in that video you showed that outline and it was quite helpful (I think it was called the learning curve)
The "dip"
It's interesting how much of quitting is mental and emotional.
AWESOME celebration, btw! That's one of my favorite songs! When the song got to the place where someone shouts "Hey - hey!" I wanted to join in!
I wanted to learn how to play a song on the guitar, and my goal was to do it under a week. I've never touched an instrument with strings before, I can't read notes or anything but still, I did it.
The key was satisfying myself with achieving small goals. Learn 1 or 2 chords and then connect them... 3...4... This gave me a shot of dopamine all the time which literally made me addicted to practicing playing.
Sometimes when I took a break, and didn't play for a while, after the "nap time" I could play "perfectly" which I couldn't before burning out.
You inspire others including myself to improve and do better. Thx for the content!
This is actually incredibly helpful right now. Thank you so much
I just found your channel recently and your positivity is contagious man. Saved this video to my favorites for next time I go to learn something new!
Thank you mike for this, I started playing this and I didn’t even think I could pick that fast, you’re an inspiration, keep up the great work
definitely need this for my guitar skills :)
Try mixing your practice. Try to write a song or play something outside of your genre
Me: ah that is that awesome song from Pulp Fiction
My brain: “PUMP IT LOUDAH!”
Thanks Mike, i've been subsed to you for ages now but have never seen this one b4. Very helpful man.
I found you on skillshare last night because I've taken up guitar and I can already tell this video will help a lot with staying consistent. thank you putting putting out resourceful content!
Mike Boyd. I love your videos and find them really entertaining, and ones like this are also very helpful! There is one video however in which you didn't complete the skill that you set out to do. This is your backflip video. Given that you've produced this video about learning how not to give up, I think you ought to try and complete the challenge of doing a backflip. I hope you take this challenge back up and good luck!
use a fidget spinner at full speed for the picking. - you're welcome.
Mike, your videos are always an inspiration to me, thank you! Your methodical and logical approach, and calming Scottish burr, provide a path to things I've previously thought were out of my reach. God bless you!
Thanks for this content Mike! I really appreciate how insightful and encouraging your channel is to the process of learning skills, many of which I would quit early on. I'm seriously reflecting on how to apply/re-apply these steps in my own life - thanks!
I love how you showed yourself as an example. You rock! :D
Storas, bet kas? :D
I started watching this video, maybe I'll finish watching it someday.
This guy is a true testament that anything is possible as long as you put your mind into it. Love your content keep it up!
Your channel in general is an inspiration and the fact you realize how this works adds even more credibility! Thank you!
The most frustrating part is when you spend all your pocket money on a skill and then when you quit, your broke.
Mike: I'm not gonna get pissed off
Also Mike: *Reads the book looking super pissed off*
The climax to this video was pure elation! Well done
The Trumpet surprise was SO COOL!
When playing tremelo style make sure that you plant your hand/wrist onto the guitar. This makes it soooo much easier to play faster.
I think my problem is just depression
AlexTheFatCow same-
Nick does Quad drumming what if you do like it but you feel a lot of pressure because theirs people watching you and your teachers are watching you 😳
Therapy is expensive too
drink more water
Dudeeeee this is soooo properly timed, i needed thisssss
no words, you are one among the few who impressed me
Matt Parker must love the free promotion.
I have the book but haven't got around to reading it. So excited for it.
jokes on you mike, i never actually start! jks great vid 👍🏻
You're one of the coolest guys on CZcams, for sure. You are an inspiration!
I haven't watched any of your recent videos (for 11-12 months or so) until today, but kept remembering the important tips. And they work! About a month ago I've signed up for a 10km run on June, 30th (5 weeks from now) and been training for couple of weeks, but didn't feel good about the progress. So I started practicing smarter: dropped the pace, started thinking about "now" more than "a kilometre away" and listening to myself, really properly tracking my progress, celebrating new records (HUGE help/motivator!!!) and sharing every success with a friend. I'm not a proper runner by any means, but over last 3 days ran 14,5km which feels great.
Thank you for inspiration!
Thank you Mike, very cool!
_Very nice_
Humble Pi! Great book choice! ;)

Mike I absolutely love your channel and your ambition. Thanks for helping all of us aspiring doers to be persistent.
Your videos are so good! Enjoy them a lot
Yo wtf. I was just thinking about quitting something i just started and i come across this video. Damn...
So, 1 year later... Have you quit it or are you now extremely skilled at it?
I'm three days in learning the guitar and then this video pops up in my subscription feed, what a coincidence.
I started learning seriously about 6 months ago because of Mike. I was garbage for so long. I'm still not adept at most stuff, I can just finally do basic 4 chord stuff cleanly. Progress is slower than I expected but when you hit those moments of discovery and the way it all works together finally clicks it's a hell of a lot of fun. I hope you stick with it!
I want to be a professional artist and animator, and what I hate the most is that I have these amazing ideas, but when I try to draw them or animate them, I just suck and can't show them.
Hey Mike thanks for the inspiration man ,today you inspired me to finally start exercising and studying regularly ,instead of leaving it for tomorrow Im starting it today ,as my real problem is procrastinating so thank you :)
The introduction of trumpet guy was brilliant 👌
love it
Ibrahim Saddour there’s literally no way u could have watch the entire video😂
That's a small D
Wow. What else is there to say? Blown away with your results. Thanks for the encouragement!
Mike dude. Must say that I am happy I found your channel. Found it because of work and only took me one video to subscribe (although I watched a couple)! Good stuff.
A few months ago i started a hobby i wanted to start a long time ago, Miniature painting. After buying the gear and watching your swimming video for the fifth time i started and it actualy went really well. And i am still improving!
Thanks mike!
Hmmm, sounds interesting.. How do I need to imagine Miniature painting? Like, painting on a really tiny scale? On a really tiny canvas? Or painting something miniature on a normal canvas?
Please elaborate? I'm curious :)

Hi Mike, you should try learning to handstand.
Great video btw, keep up the good work.
Love this! Thanks Mike!
you absolutely killed it with miserlou at the end
I would love to see how you learn to play a fairly difficult song on piano for beginners. I personally have a piano but I keep quit learning. In my head I really want to learn to play it and be very good to show my parents what I can do with my piano. But i still keep quitting... I would love to see how you pick this up and see how you learn it so fast.
Ur an inspiration I’m trying to learn guitar and I have wanted to quit but ur videos helped me
Who gives a fuck
Good luck! Playing guitar is awesome!
@@tontran1792 why the fuck did you care to comment if you didn't?
kingbilly willy same here mate, I started 3 months ago and hit that plateau where I wasn’t making any progress and actually stopped for 3 weeks, until I watched his last video and got back into it
Opposite to Instructions I play for 1.5 year already and i still have the thing that i feel like i do not have any progress but it is normal, with time and patience you can do anything
You've said a lot of Truth in this video. Thanks for sharing it!

Thank you Mike for this video..I've been stuck on several goals that I've had (doing a good handstand, making my own app) and intermittently quitted and restarted again. I rarely comment on videos, but this is a testament to stick on my goals, when I do succeed I'm going to upload them and look back at this comment in a year.
