Hi and welcome back to And You How Did You Make
It? This is the recap. And today I will share
with you 5 -6 takeaways from last week's episode
with Laurence. First, Laurence will continuously
invite you to try things. Why? Think about it
2 seconds. Don't you feel like you will always
regret the things that you don't do more than
the things that you tried? And he does admit
that it can be scary, that sometimes it's incredibly
scary, but at least you will just move forward
with no regrets. The second takeaway, which I
think is incredibly important, is to find what
learning style works for you. Lawrence was explaining
to us that he did a better job at digesting everything
from the classes and the courses by himself.
on his own. So do put the extra effort if you
need to watch a YouTube video to practicing again
and again. I think it's all about trying to understand
how are you able to truly grasp, understand,
manage that class and how should you move forward
with any other class. And a great reminder as
well within that is attending a class is not
enough. The third takeaway is on hard skills,
learning them as early as you can. If you don't
know what hard skills are, do make research.
Because from that episode, we do learn that when
you learn the skills, you're just giving yourself
more freedom to change your path. Because other
skills, which he refers to, can be learned on
the job. And for the fourth takeaway here, I
will quote Ernst. Your degree is only half of
the story. What does he mean by that? Your patent
job, your side projects, your volunteering, when
you join student association, everything is helping
you building further skills, knowledge, and everything
that will help you choose the path that is made
for you. And the fifth takeaway comes from the
title of the episode. Confidence comes from doing.
You should not wait for the confidence to come
by. You have to start, and then gradually you'll
be able to build that confidence. So every day
when you show up, when you learn, when you fail,
when you try again, you're building your confidence.
You're learning. And the last one, which I think
is kind of a takeaway, but at the same time a
reflection I will invite you to have, is that...
Your passion does not need to be your profession.
What does it mean? Let's say you are absolutely
obsessed with your class. You don't have to create
a whole path around that class. You can keep
your passions, love them, cherish them, and still
choose a different professional path that leverages
your strength, the learnings, and also adapted
to our ever -changing realities. Thank you for
listening and I can't wait to see you next week.
