Make Sure That You Spend Time On Things
That Gives You A Lot Of Returns
Don't Spend Time On Things That Give You Little In Return
Picking Up A New Skill Can Change Your Life Totally
If You Just Try And Improve Your Life By 1% Every Day,
The Effect Over Many Years Is Extreme, Is Massive.
Every Day, Try And Just Learn Something New
That You're Not Too Young,
You're Not Too Old, To Do Something
Before We Even Get Started,
I Wanna Emphasize That You Need To Believe In Yourself
You Need To Believe That You Can Change Your Life In 2023
You Need To Believe That You Have The Ability
And The Capability To Do This
You Need To Ignore The Haters
You Need To Ignore The People That Have Told You,
At School Or At Other Times In Your Life,
That You Can't Do It
You Need To Get Your Mind In The Right Place
And Believe In Yourself
And I'm Telling You, You Can
If I Can Do It, You Can Do It
I Can't Tell You The Number Of People
Have Told Me During My Life,
Or Over The Years Of My Life, "David You're An Idiot
David, You Can't Do It
David, I'm Putting You Into This Box
This Is The Kinda Person That You Are
you Can't Be This Person
you Can't Be A YouTuber, Because You're Too Old
you Can't Be An Instructor
Because You're Not Intelligent Enough
you Don't Speak With The Right Accent,
you Don't Have The Right Education, Et Center,
Ignore Those Haters. Ignore Those People
Go Out There And Make The Most Of Your Life
What Are You Gonna Do In 2023 To Change Your Life?
In This Video, I Wanna Talk About The Five Top Skills
That You Need To Get In 2023 If You Haven't Already
It's Really Important That You Ride The Waves
And I've Done This Many, Many Times In My Life
Look At What The Hot Trends Are, Jump On Those Waves,
And Ride Them
So I Wanna Talk About Sort Of Five Areas
That I Think You Should Look At
If You Haven't Already, In 2023,
And Then Look At The Skills That You Need To Get
To Ride Those Waves
You Can't Change The Past, But You Can Change Your Future
And For Me,
That's What I Love About Technology Or Tech In General
You Don't Need A Fancy Degree
You Don't Need Fancy Contacts
You Don't Need To Be Part Of An Old Boys Club, For Example,
To Get Somewhere In Technology
If You Put In The Effort,
In A Few Years, You Can Change Your Life
Because Technology Is Changing All The Time
Look At Me
I Got My CCIE, Maybe 20 Years Ago
What Was Really, Really Important 20 Years Ago
Or 10 Years Ago Or Five Years Ago,
Isn't Important Necessarily In 2023?
The Hot Technologies Of Those Days Are Perhaps Gone
Things Are Constantly Evolving, Constantly Changing,
Which Can Make It Harder,
If You've Been In Tech For A Long Time,
To Keep Up
But The Great News For Someone Like You
Who's Perhaps Starting Out Is That If You Start Today,
In Two Years, You Could Be An Expert
In A Specific Sphere Or Niche If You Like
Think About The Blockchain. Didn't Exist For A Few Years
Think About Machine Learning And Ai
That Is Changing The World In The Last Few Years
10 Years Ago, 20 Years Ago,
That Wasn't Important
Compared To How Important It Is In The Next Few Years
Jump On The Waves, Ride Those Waves, And Change Your Life
Now, I'm Gonna Continue Talking About Mindset A Little Bit
And Giving You Some Advice From My Experience
But If You Don't Wanna Hear That, That's Fine
Use The Timestamps Below To Jump Ahead In The Video
It's Important To Remember That Rome Wasn't Built In A Day
When You're Starting,
It Can Be Overwhelming
Because There's So Much Information, So Much To Learn,
But I'm Telling You Now
You Don't Have To Try And Learn Everything Like That
Firstly, That's Impossible
And Secondly,
There's Just Too Much To Learn Very, Very Quickly
The More You Learn,
The More You'll Find, It's Easier To Learn Additional Skills
Or Pick Up Additional Skills, Learn New Technologies,
Because A Lot Of It's Interrelated
As An Example, I Have A Strong Foundation In Networking
For Me To Move Into Another Area Isn't That Difficult
Because I've Got A Strong Foundation In Networking,
Programming, Et Center,
It's Much Easier To Pick Up New Technologies
But I Want You To Remember That Life Is A Journey
And Your Path May Change Over Time
You May Be Doing This Today
But Then Tomorrow You Do Something Totally Different,
And Nothing Is Stopping You From Reinventing Yourself
You Could Be The Expert In This Area
And Then Tomorrow Or In A Few Year's Time,
You're The Expert In Another Area
Because Technologies Change
And You Have To Change With The Technologies
If People Tell You, "you Must Stay Where You're At,
They've Either Not Been In Tech Long Enough
Or They've Stagnated Because Stagnation Is A Terrible Thing
You've Gotta Keep On Reinventing Yourself
You Gotta Keep On Learning
And Changing What You're Doing
If You Told Me Five Years Ago
That I'd Have A Million Subscribers On YouTube,
I Probably Wouldn't Have Believed You
You've Gotta Keep On Improving What You're Doing
And Keep On Learning
So To Help You With That,
I Wanna Talk About Some Principles
The First Thing I Believe In Is A Circle Of Control
You May Not Be Able To Control What Governments Are Doing
Or What Certain People In The World Are Doing
I Don't Watch A Lot Of News
Because It Can Be Really Depressing
You Can't Change
What People On The Other Side Of The World Are Doing
As An Example, I Live In The UK
I Can't Change What Our President Is Doing,
So I Don't Focus On That
I Focus On The Stuff That I Can Control
I Can Control My Tim
If You've Got A Job
And You Have To Work A Certain Number Of Hours,
Your Boss Could Control That
But You May Have Some Flexibility There
To Decide What You Do With Your Time
And After Work, What Are You Doing With Your Time?
What Are You Doing With Your Time On Weekends?
Work Your Ass Off
