- Robert Twigger takes issue with well-worn career advice such as “follow your passion” or the “10,000 Hours Rule”. Robert argues that most successful people, including winners of the Nobel Prize, develop multiple areas of expertise typically with investments much shorter than 10,000 hours. In his talk, Robert will guide us on how to learn any 'micro' skill quickly and why this approach works.
Follow Robert on @roberttwigger In this age of busyness and cyber distraction, it’s rare for people to take the time to learn, improve and perfect their craft - let alone having more than one. Robert Twigger in an exception, a true polymath who has written novels, poetry, has taught English abroad while learning martial arts, and has been on crazy expeditions all over the world.
He’s the author of 13 books, including his 2017 ‘Micromastery’, a guide on how to become fast learners, spot creative opportunities and ultimately boost our happiness. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
sum :
it doesn’t matter how often you practice, it’s matters *how* you practice.
Most masters have learned the ‘micro-skill’ of their discipline. They learned it for the fun of being to able to say ‘I’ve learned that!’
There are also ‘entries’ to the micro-skills, for example holding your hand in a certain way to draw a better circle.
I'm a bass player and I'm at7,080 hours of practice, and I'm just getting good to feel it. They say 8000 is good and 10000 great and so far it's on par. After 6600 hours advancement started increasing rapidly and if this keeps up over the next 1000 hours I should reach good by then. I practice 16 to 20 hours a week.
I would love to hear you play.upload a video
@@SAHILKHAN-vk2zz thats the nicest comment i've seen😊...your friends are lucky..
@@happiness6746😄 that's the nicest comment I have ever seen man.
Thank you so much ❣️
I really respect people dedicated to their craft. Just the commitment alone on consistently doing it.
How do you know you were at 7080 hours ? Do you count every hour ? that's insane. I hope you reached the 10k milestones since then !
I get his point. Getting to learn something can be challenging because of the boring instructions but his way of thinking is very smart because micro mastery makes a lot of sense. In my point of view, Micro mastery is when finding a simpler way of learning something than the traditional. And this doesn't require 10k hours or spending a lot of money for education but finding a simple way and practicing it every week or day whatever it makes learning better and more than I thought. I tried to find that recently and Im making progress
i like how you call it instructions...now its clear to me what i am not doing right...clearly i wasn't following instructions
This video is changing my approach to learning forever. His emphasis on how we learn as children by doing and not by reading has opened my eyes to consider a more practical oriented approach to learning. He also encourages us to learn by having fun or getting interest in whatever we are learning by approaching it like how kids learn by experimenting. I cant thank you enough. I am grateful.
Of course there are fun microcosms of the whole subject that you can meet along the way of mastering it. But the problem is that usually it becomes less and less fun as you dive deeper into it, untill you reach an advanced level, where you really start enjoying what you can do... Only the best teachers are able to give the students some fun bits scattered all along the learning curve...
Pretty good and inspiring speech.
When you feel that you can quickly use what you have learnt and start creatively experimenting, it will feel more meaningful. It is a way of directing your focus from some external pressure "I have to become an expert and study for year" to internal motivation where you curiosity is the driving force.
The goal of this video is to enjoy learning and be proud of your achievements even if you think they are little the fact they are not because you are achieving something .you in the past you were not, like he said master how to enjoy learning and if you don’t you will not learn anything , small steps with a lot of love can make a huge difference in your life which would lead you to hapiness.
How would one focus on one thing. I literally want to learn everything?
I'm sure it took me 10,000 hours of playing Yu-Gi-Oh throughout the years to fully master it, and even when new formats, and rules get placed, I found that using Lightsworns are the best way to go, and I never stopped with that deck when playing in ranks.
What a waste of time
Lol
Microcosm of science is Mathematics . That's why people good at maths are good at physics and other sciences . I understood it after my college life was over
thank you
I think this type of learning is quite compatible with current internet based self study culture.
They said it wrong. It's 10000 hrs to become world class in a field or skill.
not if your average world-class competiters have 20 000 hrs experience.
if you're factoring in competition, then the only criteria is how much your competitors work, compared to you, it's not abstract.
(i mean there is also the criteria of "how" yo work, the method counts, but I meant, as a quantitative based criteria)
this man gets me, i don't understand what passion is or looks like
Yes to micro mastery yes to life thank you
Excellent video with very thought-provoking ideas, an impressive achievement for such a short watch.
Life is experiments and experiences
Just over 4,000 hours in billiards, found my passion late in life. But I’m always tryna get 4 hours a day at least for the next 5 yrs
He is talking about Aspie's
Holding the water bottle upside down is really bothering me idk why
I recently ran into futures and stocks trading; what would be the micro-mastery of trading skills?
First, you have to master yourself.. Being patience, being discipline, and master your skills and craft in trading. Like managing your risk, your analysis, reading the chart. Etc.
Kent exactly
@@stephenher Very tight stops, cut your losses immediately, stay in trends as long as possible. You may stand a chance doing this.
I don't think there are any. It's not really possible to become a master of something that relies on chance.
People don’t understand the 10,000 hour rule. They hear 10,000 and lose their minds and don’t think about what the rule is telling you.
Practice Makes Perfect
Perfect needs Love
Love your Practice
Master self-love to Practice Perfection
Facts af, it only took me like 3 minutes to become a disappointment
If you want to be better at law, what would be the micro-mystery for that?
Argue with people I guess
Knowing why is that law created. Thinking about the day to day life of people without such legislation.
Is it a really works
Only took one minute to realize that this guy grew up with a trustfund.
😂😂
What?
I wanna see Gordon Ramsey's reaction while hearing from this man that Gordon isn't good at making omelette 😂😂😂
He was giving an example
@@user-og9nl5mt1b Not a good one
Disturbed me that he was walking around with an empty water botlle and holding it upside down
cutting oileve oil with butter? are you serious? olive oil is gold is like cutting an spanish wine with water
What if I want to learn physics ? What is the omelet of physics ?
what I do is I force myself to think about the application of physics, think about flow rate and equations of fluid dynamics when you are taking a shower the next time, or maybe science behind tornadoes or equations of thermodynamics when you are sitting in air conditioner. You can go on!
@@priyanshu5098 Your answer can be summed up as 'be inspired' and for most people this will depend on a mentor/teacher. Passion is contagious; at least 1/2 of teachers would prefer to do be doing something else; you can see this in the quality and motivation of students
The micro omlette of physics is being good at maths
Instead of focussing on completing 10000 hours focus on completing an hour today cause people who vompleted those 10000 hours never focussed on it...
In fact, 10,000 hours is no where near sufficient. It could be 3,000 hours or 30,000 hours. Depends on the Talent of the individual....
Wrong
Feel like being cheated
I've been breathing for more than 240 000 hours now and I'm still no expert...

bs talk
I appreciate his philosophy very much. This is inspiring for hobbies and enjoying life and simply enjoying learning something new.
However.. we must be careful because this is clearly misleading and NOT mastery of an art and not to be compared to that topic, which is what the 10,000 hour rule was referring to - a deep mastery of an entire field / art form.
The title of this talk should be changed IMO.
Otherwise, I appreciate his inspiration to just go learn something new and get skilled at it!
There are no shortcut. Trying to "beat" the 10000 hours is a sign that you are not destined to become a master.
I disagree with the title, I get his point but if you really want to be great at something you better do it as much as you can, who you rather hire a drummer who barely practice or a drummer that has 10,000 hours of practice?
Who will win a fight between a mma fighter that trains three days a week or a guy who goes to the gym twice a day 6 days a week?
Is simple you want to be the best then do the grinding first
And why would you want to be the best ?
You don't need to be the best writer before you write your book.
a lot of mid level book writers can make enough money to support themselves.
You don't need the best drummer to work in the music industry
And who is the better fighter ,the one who spends all his time in the gym on the bags ,or the one who spends his limited time in the ring.
A good example are old ace pilots , they became the best because they were pushing themselves to new levels during practice (showing off) and then transferred those skills to combat ,they didn't become aces because they did the same thing for a long time
We give kids breaks during school because we KNOW what they are doing in between is no fun.
Learning can be fun and challenging - about nobody has figured how to accomplish this!
