Topics
Ali Abdaal: 本期节目讨论了成功的要素,包括天赋、特权、环境、意志力、毅力等,并探讨了Bobby Seagull 的经历如何展现了如何提升抱负和动力,从而获得成功。Bobby Seagull 的经历从伦敦东区公共住宅区长大,通过努力和抓住机遇,最终成为一名数学老师、电视节目主持人和作家。他强调成功并非取决于天赋或出身,而是努力和毅力。 Bobby Seagull: 我在伦敦东区公共住宅区长大,通过获得伊顿公学奖学金改变了人生轨迹。伊顿公学让我相信自己能够取得更大的成就。我经历了从牛津大学退学到罗汉普顿大学学习数学和经济学的转折,最终进入金融行业。莱曼兄弟倒闭后,我意识到金融行业的风险,并转行成为一名教师。我发现自己对教育的热爱胜过金融工作,并认为教育工作让我找到了人生的意义和目标。我承认自己拥有特权和机遇,但同时强调努力和坚持的重要性。成功并非一蹴而就,而是需要长期努力和抓住机遇。我将数学的思维模式应用于生活的各个方面,包括个人理财、人际关系等。 Ali Abdaal: 节目中讨论了Molly-Mae Hague 的言论引发的争议,这凸显了特权和机遇对成功的影响。虽然人人拥有相同的时间,但特权和机遇会影响人们的成功。改变信息摄入来源(例如,观看的视频、收听的播客、阅读的书籍)可以改变人们看待事物的方式。努力可以增加获得幸运的机会,并讨论了不同类型的运气。积极的学习体验会形成良性循环,而消极的体验则会形成恶性循环。教师的期望会影响学生的学习成绩。人们并非天生就具备某种能力(例如数学能力),而是后天习得的。大多数人的智力水平处于中等,后天环境对智力发展起着关键作用。成就与自尊之间存在良性循环。人们可以将特定领域的自信作为跳板,提升整体自信心。

What’s involved in the equation for success? Some say its talent, innate intelligence, education, privilege, grit, or simply dumb luck. Regardless of how many of these things you think may or may not be on your side, my guest this week will show you how to level up your motivations and aspirations to get the success you want.

Bobby Seagull started his life from humble beginnings living on a council estate in East London before rising to fame as captain of Emmanuel College Cambridge on the BBC quiz show University Challenge. He’s now a school maths teacher, author and the go-to maths guy for the BBC on a mission to encourage people that they can achieve anything they set out to achieve.
