‫Hey, everybody.
‫I want to take a quick break here.
‫Go grab a coffee, grab a tea.
‫Just take a break from all the learning that you just did.
‫And I want to talk to you quickly about imposter syndrome.
‫It's this idea that you're not good enough, that things are too complicated for you to ever achieve
‫what you want to achieve.
‫You look at other people, at other industry experts, and you say, I will never get there.
‫But it's just a symptom of learning.
‫This idea of you not being good enough simply means that, well, you're just not there yet.
‫Things take time if you want to learn a valuable skill.
‫Well, it's hard work.
‫That's why it's valuable.
‫Remember how you felt on the first day of going to school?
‫First day on a job?
‫It's the same experience.
‫But over time, with repetition, with practice, you get comfortable, you get experience, and you
‫slowly start to lose that imposter syndrome.
‫Now, this idea of an imposter syndrome is great.
‫It means you're doing something worthwhile.
‫So don't use it as a negative.
‫Use it as an encouragement that you're doing something good, that you're learning, and you're stretching
‫your limits.
‫So with this break, I want to propose that we do a quick exercise.
‫I want you to stop the lectures again, grab a coffee, grab a tea, and head on over to our discord.
‫Now, in our Discord server, if you've used it up until now, that's great.
‫If you haven't.
‫Head on over to this server and I want you to do something that I think is super important to learning
‫and that is using what you've learned up until now to actually teach someone or help someone so you
‫can go all the way to, let's say, the coding and courses section and pick a topic that you want to
‫help somebody in.
‫So let's say you go to the Python channel and in here you'll have other students that are asking Python
‫related questions.
‫Now you can scroll through here and see if you're able to help someone, even though you may not have
‫the experience or the knowledge yet.
‫This idea of practicing and explaining what you've just learned to other people, even if you're not
‫100% certain, actually is beneficial to your learning.
‫Because if you're never teaching, if you're never explaining and vocalizing and showing what you've
‫learned, you'll always be a beginner.
‫This idea of teaching what you learn is a very important concept.
‫So moving forward, as you go through the lectures, any time you feel like taking a break, hop on
‫over to Discord and help somebody.
‫Our motto here is that we're always kind.
‫We don't judge anybody.
‫We're all just beginners here.
‫We're all learning.
‫So don't be afraid to answer things because you've got to remember, nobody's perfect except for Yoda.
‫Yoda is pretty perfect.
‫All right, I'll see you in the next one.
‫Bye bye.
