1 | 00:00:12 | Let’s address one concern at a time, |
2 | 00:00:16 | one particular issue at a time. |
3 | 00:00:19 | Because this is like an engine. |
4 | 00:00:27 | So I cannot help you to understand every component right off the bat. |
5 | 00:00:39 | We have to look at one screw at a time. |
6 | 00:00:43 | Let’s start with the first question from you. |
7 | 00:00:46 | Ask a very specific question about this big problem that we are facing. |
8 | 00:00:54 | Just look at one angle [at first]. |
9 | 00:00:57 | [Let me] give you an example. |
10 | 00:01:17 | My big problem is as I told you. |
11 | 00:01:20 | But right now I don’t know if I want to |
12 | 00:01:26 | terminate this meeting so I can go to lunch or not because I’m hungry. |
13 | 00:01:33 | So, that thing is one percent of one percent of one percent of this big problem. |
14 | 00:01:40 | But it’s a problem |
15 | 00:01:43 | It’s easier for us to tackle one tiny problem at a time so that we |
16 | 00:01:49 | you and I learn how to work together before we enter the cave |
17 | 00:01:57 | You get me |
18 | 00:01:59 | You and I need to solve one tiny problem first. |
19 | 00:02:04 | You may want to shut that down. |
20 | 00:02:07 | Yeah |
21 | 00:02:11 | You and I should practice working together to solve a tiny problem outside of the cave first. |
22 | 00:02:18 | Right |
23 | 00:02:20 | Because when we enter the cave, my life depends on you. |
24 | 00:02:26 | Your life depends on me. |
25 | 00:02:28 | If we don’t know how each other works… |
26 | 00:02:30 | Right |
27 | 00:02:34 | our relationship breaks down before it has a chance to start. |
28 | 00:02:38 | Right |
29 | 00:02:39 | So |
30 | 00:02:43 | Look at one tiny problem in the big picture and ask me a question about that first. |
31 | 00:02:49 | Give me a chance to feel like I am successful in helping you [at] first. |
32 | 00:03:07 | How do you know what to focus on the most? |
33 | 00:03:15 | The first step is to understand what focus means exactly, objectively. |
34 | 00:03:25 | [The meaning has to be] applicable in every context. |
35 | 00:03:28 | Do you know what focus means? |
36 | 00:03:31 | To me, I’d say… |
37 | 00:03:37 | …unshakable, concentration–meaning concentrating on one thing. |
38 | 00:03:44 | Putting all your energy towards one thing. |
39 | 00:03:47 | You’re relabelling the concept. |
40 | 00:03:51 | Relabelling doesn’t explain. |
41 | 00:03:54 | Relabelling doesn’t define. |
42 | 00:03:56 | So, what’s concentrating? |
43 | 00:03:59 | Focus 🙂 |
44 | 00:04:01 | There you go; you’re not doing the job you’re asked to do. |
45 | 00:04:05 | Try again. |
46 | 00:04:08 | If you don’t understand the concept, you cannot practice it. |
47 | 00:04:17 | Doing |
48 | 00:04:19 | Focus is the thing that drives. |
49 | 00:04:27 | You can focus on this conversation |
50 | 00:04:31 | but you also need to be aware of the sound environment |
51 | 00:04:34 | So, when a big truck goes by, |
52 | 00:04:37 | suspend our conversation. |
53 | 00:04:40 | Focusing doesn’t mean that you give up all the senses. |
54 | 00:04:46 | You cannot focus if you’re not aware of what’s going on around you. |
55 | 00:04:52 | So what’s focus? |
56 | 00:04:58 | I’m going to give you a chance to define that first. |
57 | 00:05:07 | Focus is being able to do the thing that your heart desires. |
58 | 00:05:17 | starting from |
59 | 00:05:23 | with or without having a full picture of what it is |
60 | 00:05:26 | It’s just being able to… |
61 | 00:05:29 | For me, to focus, like, I focus on boxing, training |
62 | 00:05:33 | When I focus I just have a mission and goal in my mind. |
63 | 00:05:37 | I’m trying my hardest to attain that goal that I’ve already seen in my mind. |
64 | 00:05:42 | I just want to bring it to my reality and I’m just focusing… |
65 | 00:05:45 | I just put all my energies towards my information. |
66 | 00:05:48 | My information is leaving… going there. |
67 | 00:05:52 | My energy is leading me there. |
68 | 00:05:56 | I’m immersed in that one thing, you know. |
69 | 00:05:58 | I know, that’s what I think is focusing. |
70 | 00:06:01 | At the same time, you know, as human beings. |
71 | 00:06:04 | We are all expressions of different energies you know so |
72 | 00:06:07 | There are so many things you can get attracted to. |
73 | 00:06:09 | There’s so many things that are… |
74 | 00:06:11 | also so many things but numerous things that right now myself |
75 | 00:06:14 | Like I’d say… |
76 | 00:06:16 | I feel pulled towards boxing. |
77 | 00:06:18 | When you see me raising my hands like this… |
78 | 00:06:22 | If my hands are close to my face, then you are at the solar system level. |
79 | 00:06:30 | But if you see me extending my hands all the way, |
80 | 00:06:33 | you’re talking about the galaxy again. |
81 | 00:06:36 | know it’s okay so let’s consider this to be a conversation between you and your son. |
82 | 00:06:42 | and he’s in first grade. |
83 | 00:06:46 | Explain to him what focusing means. |
84 | 00:06:49 | Try again. |
85 | 00:06:50 | when I clap, it’s for my film editing purposes. |
86 | 00:06:55 | It’s not for you. |
87 | 00:06:57 | So that, so that I can, I know how to align all the segments. |
88 | 00:07:15 | If I was to talk to my son is first-grade, I’d tell him focus is… |
89 | 00:07:22 | He’s right here, look at him. |
90 | 00:07:25 | Focus on your son and explain to him what focus means. |
91 | 00:07:30 | Look at him, keep your eyes on him. |
92 | 00:07:35 | Your facial expression is not for my father to a son. |
93 | 00:07:39 | You need to put… You need to wear your father hat right now… |
94 | 00:07:42 | and you have to show that your facial expression is for your son not for me |
95 | 00:07:58 | Ah |
96 | 00:08:04 | Dad, what focusing means? |
97 | 00:08:10 | I see |
98 | 00:08:22 | Doing something… Completing the task without distraction. |
99 | 00:08:30 | I don’t know. I can’t explain it. |
100 | 00:08:33 | Okay, now you see why most people fail to focus. |
101 | 00:08:38 | Not because they don’t want to but because they don’t understand the concept |
102 | 00:08:46 | Therefore, they fail to practice [it]. |
103 | 00:08:51 | Thanks goodness, we had Steve Jobs. |
104 | 00:09:00 | In 1997, I believe that’s the year, |
105 | 00:09:09 | he stood in front of his engineers and… |
106 | 00:09:15 | You know Steve Jobs, of course. |
107 | 00:09:20 | and he explained to his engineers what focus means |
108 | 00:09:26 | and how to practice it |
109 | 00:09:29 | And that is what I would go by. |
110 | 00:09:37 | Focusing; that means, saying no. |
111 | 00:09:47 | to everything else. |
112 | 00:09:59 | Doesn’t that still apply to immersing yourself to one thing? |
113 | 00:10:03 | If you immerse yourself to something I’m assuming… |
114 | 00:10:06 | That’s not saying NO. |
115 | 00:10:11 | You should say NO to everything else? |
116 | 00:10:15 | Yes |
117 | 00:10:17 | Hmm |
118 | 00:10:22 | And the reason why he had this conversation because |
119 | 00:10:27 | I speculate that half of his engineers hated him for changing his mind |
120 | 00:10:34 | And that’s why he explained to them: |
121 | 00:10:37 | I’m saying No because the company has to focus on this but not that. |
122 | 00:10:44 | That’s why I have to say No to that even though I understand that you guys put in a lot effort for that. |
123 | 00:10:56 | But we are focusing on this. |
124 | 00:11:04 | Until you know how to practice the art of saying no, you don’t know howto practice focusing |
125 | 00:11:12 | for the thing that you’re trying to concentrate on. |
126 | 00:11:50 | That’s deep. |
127 | 00:11:52 | That’s deep. |
128 | 00:11:53 | The reason why you heard a long pause, a big silence from me |
129 | 00:12:03 | before you said, “That’s deep”, |
130 | 00:12:06 | because I was practicing respect of reciprocation |
