What Failing Over and Over Finally Taught Him About Success

0:00Let's get into the main points. Life philosophy part two. Today, or at least in this part, we're going to talk more detailedly about failure, success, and what it takes to be disciplined. So, let's ask Mr. Sandeep. If you were to give one piece of advice to anyone who's struggling with failure, what perspective would you want them to like adapt? There is nothing called faith.

0:32Either you're winning or either you're not. There is nothing called failure, correct? People start judging even to themselves if something doesn't work. What I believe and I purely inculcated in my my life is So, if something doesn't go what I'm expected I'm expecting to, I just take it as a feedback. And that's his paper. It will easy to come out from there.

1:08Yeah. Again, structure. Structure is again very, very critical in terms of like if you have all those support in terms of when when you say structures means come out from that failure wherever you are struggling. What are things you needed, correct? Whatever things you needed to improve. Whatever things you needed to come out from that failure. If you have that all set up, you can do

1:33it. So, for me, it's a combination of all three. To rank it all, all three, mindset is the first, but whoever is having or going through this struggling time or failure in their life faith. Uh they have to have that mindset of coming out from it. Yeah. >> That is a critical. Once you have that mindset, then the people near to you is

1:59going to play a next role. They will be a positive supporting factor, and then the structure will help you to come out. Yeah. So, thinking theoretically right now, um if you are struggling and you're trying to develop that mental like mindset like mindset like think optimistic, like what what ways could you get support that can help you build that mindset? Yeah, so you can control your

2:27um emotions, right? And think like if something is not working, take a step back. It doesn't Like if something Like if I'm doing five things and things are falling apart, um and you are getting depressed, you are getting uh you are considering what your career will be um ruined and all, take a step back. Think out of five things what you're working on it and if

2:53things are failing, falling apart, what is the most priority one? Consider that. And then understand the gap for what needs to be done. Again, use your feedback loop. And that this all can be done when you have that mindset, correct? Prioritize your stuff. If you're working on multiple things, prioritize it. Uh take help from others. It's There is nothing wrong taking help.

3:16Yeah. >> Um and then make a go with the feedback loop of thinking what are things which is going wrong and then try to find out the gaps. If you need some help to identify the gaps, go and talk to the people. They will help you. You You know your family members are the best uh fam best person to give you a

3:37feedback. Yeah. >> Rather than anyone else, your family members are the best one to give you a feedback. Yes. Take a uh feedback from them, right? Um and then the structure will help you to Yeah. >> come out from it. So, you were asking about the mindset, is a game. You should have a mindset of coming out from the problem. Develop that mindset by

4:01using the feedback loop. Take giving time, take a step back, think more and more and take then identify the gap worldwide for what it is failing. Um so, like thinking and like let's talk about discipline now, right? So, I want to think about like steps that help me get to like that state of like mindset. >> And what was like one practice

4:30or just like one way of like being disciplined that helped you like stay grounded, like stay strong even when like life got chaotic for you? Yeah. To be a discipline, take one task at a time. Suppose that you decide that, "Okay, daily I will walk 10 minutes." A lot of research has been done. If something you keep doing it for more than 21 weeks,

4:55it will come in your But for starting, 21 weeks is the key. Keep pushing yourself. You have to push yourself. Ah. Correct. >> Atomic habits, right? Yes. I just want you to be disciplined. I usually like think of like being disciplined mean like being nice to others, having like well manners. What How does that differ from like discipline that you're talking about?

5:22I've heard well manners, so. >> Well, see, disciplined is more to yourself. And more like being nice to another is more like in your nature. You know the integrity. Yeah. You respect everyone. Doesn't matter which race they are, from where are they. It doesn't matter. We respect everyone. That's more like a nature. And discipline is like what you do it on a regular day-to-day work for your

5:48development. Just like creating a YouTube channel, right? The first thousand subscribers are going to be much harder to get than the first 10,000 subscribers, right? So, like if you're thinking that way and then you need to be a lot more consistent to get those first thousand, right? So, if is there like a universal principle that like helps you stay like consistent and

6:15that helps us better understand of like what it takes to be consistent which and what the youth like me should do? >> Yeah. Yeah. So, if you are focused enough for your goal suppose that your goal is to be um to have a 1 million subscribers. Yeah. >> If you are focused enough, then you have to be consistent. Right? You If you decide that

6:42every weekly once I will uh release one then you have to be consistent. Every Wednesday it has to go every Wednesday it has to go. Yeah. Now so, to be consistent the next thing is you need to be focused. Motivation, discipline, focused is where like you know your goal. You need to know your goal. >> Yeah. Now, you know that suppose that

7:11your goal is to get 1 million subscribers. Now, to get 1 million subscriber you need to promise to yourself how I can achieve that 1 million subscriber. And if you say that okay, if I will make sure that every Wednesday I will upload a video. Yes. >> Yes. Without fail it has to go. Because whatever like 10 subscriber, 100 subscriber, 500 subscribers, slowly it will go. They

7:38will consistently see that every Wednesday a new video is coming. Yeah. And then what will happen the and if you what will happen people will start correlate, okay, every Wednesday there will be something new will come. That whoever is your subscriber, they will know that oh, today is Wednesday something. That will keep them that confidence in you. This will And the way

8:01this channel algorithm also work, they'll see that every Wednesday continuously they coming, they will start also start pushing your stuff to different people who are not subscribed to you and they are watching motivational videos and what so ever Yeah. >> related to your topic, they will start seeing those and they will start subscribing. But again, understand your goal first. To understand your goal you need to make

8:25your goal. Yeah. You make a goal, understand it completely, make a plan, then be consistent. There is no There is no shortcut. In order to stay consistent, you have to push your minds minds past your limits >> Yeah. and force yourself until you're running. That's It's like thinking Think of it as like a mountain, right? Going uphill, you need that motivation and then once

8:55you're there, like once you get that consistency going, it just becomes like second nature, right? So like you don't have to try as much. It's like naturally flowing. So I think consistency, like staying disciplined, requires a lot of forcing, consistency, and time. Let's talk more about the actions, right? Cuz we talked about what it takes to be a consistent and what it means to stay

9:23consistent and what it like what you have to do. And what do you believe like are there any small or repetitive actions that you believe has the power to change someone's life if they commit to a long enough and stay consistent. The name it doesn't not coming on the top of my mind, but there was a basketball one of the greatest basketball player.

9:50All the other player who are doing three session in a day, he started doing four session in a day. Yeah. And he was so consistent, so consistent. He never missed that four session in a day. So, for all other player, it is three session. For him, it is now four session. And it started showing in his form. When he started playing up to six plus month

10:12of rigorous practice, going daily consistent four uh four times in a day practicing. When he started playing the game, start it started showcasing in the performance. Yeah. And he went to the top of the league. Went to the top of the league. There are numerous examples out there. All the players, if you see Virat Kohli, he's so consistent. Virat Kohli. That he one of the interview he was saying

10:40that if somebody will say that this food is going to help me to be fit to be to be my so that I can give my 100% in the game, I can eat that entire life without thinking about it best. Uh it's all those determination and consistency. To be at the top of the league whatever you are doing it, it's all depend upon your determination

11:10and I heard this quote that you can be successful if you are just 1% better than you were yesterday. And I think that makes sense, but Yeah, that's again from the book Atomic Habits. >> Pushing yourself. Yes, from the book Atomic Habits. Um if you are just try to be 1% better than the last day, over the year, when after 1 year you

11:39will go and see yourself, you will see that you have improved a lot. 36% Be determined and consistent, you'll get it. Yeah. So, just um just out of curiosity, um you saying Bolt, after he lost to a American athlete, I don't know who he was, he woke up 3 hours early and practiced every single day until he puked so much that he couldn't run anymore.

12:10And he did that for four straight years. And before you know the next Olympics, he broke the world records and he got first place, beat all the American athletes. And like, he's the fastest man ever recorded. Like, I think that's just like one of the best examples out there. >> The homemaker lady in the morning hours, how fast they're doing their work so that

12:33their husband and kid can go off to school. Yeah, school. Right? That's their improvement. Yeah, I'm like I'm I'm like so tired to wake up at like 6:55 while my mom every single day nonstop gets at 6:00 >> just so she can feed her children good Mhm. and she can make us healthy and we can have a better life in the future.

12:58So, it's like not really for her, but it's just that her resilience and hope to keep others better. And I think it's I think it's a universal thing. Yeah. Having hope, having motivation, everyone needs it and you also might need it. And do it, but she knows that I don't like hot lunch. So, even when she feels sick, she's going to get up in the

13:22morning, just do it so she can feed me healthy. And she sometimes wakes up and she's like just ready to go back and fall in the bed, but she looks at me and then doesn't matter what mood she is and she just goes and cook and that's like a very important thing that I I need to learn from her because everyone needs

13:43it, right? >> commitment. Yes. Everything is coming at like if you are disciplined, if you are consistent, if you are committed, you can achieve anything. Anything. Even things that are impossible. It's proven impossible. It's said impossible cuz no one ever tried it. Cuz they fear if they try it, it will be impossible. And commitment is what's needed to make it un-impossible cuz it's impossible.

14:12Yeah. In your personal philosophy, whether it's discipline, whether it's resilience, or perspective, what shows up most clearly in the way you make decisions in business or just in your general work? Your Your brain is conditioned such that whatever you will plan to do and if you are conditioned as disciplined person, you can easily accommodate it. You can easily do it. Yeah. So, think of it as like the

14:45Infinity Gauntlet, right? Whatever like glove, whatever. Like it takes you a lot of commitment to each all those five stars in this case discipline, but once you get all those five stones, you're unstoppable. Like you could do anything you want. You have all the powers in this case mental strength, but those five stones, it takes a lot of commitment, right? Sacrifice, resilience, and I think that's the main

15:10theme here. Everyone has to be disciplined in order to be successful in life. And so how have the lessons you learned about discipline shaped the failure the way you guided or shaped your surrounding? Last time when I tried it doing something, I failed. With my discipline, now where is the gap? So, I will use my again the other fund of feedback. Feedback tool. Yes.

15:41Take the feedback tool, use it, and then you will get to that will. So, for anything you do, I guess the discipline be becomes your baseline. Right. If you use discipline as your baseline, on on the top of the discipline, keep building the stuff. Like, you put consistency, you put determinism, you put motivation, and you can build things will build up. Yeah, well, yeah,

16:08kind of makes sense cuz in your first time, you make an error, and it's like there's these many errors. Yeah. The second time, it's these many errors. Yes. And then as you do it more, it's going to get smaller and smaller until whatever it's impossible at the start, it's going to be like, "Oh, is it that easy?" or "I got there." Then like, "I got there.

16:32I thought it was impossible." Mhm. It's possible now. Yes. That is how it is. That's how the world is. Yeah. So, whenever things start going south, try to be keep yourself motivated. It's very important then when things will not go for your expectation, you will start losing the If you are disciplined, that will help you to make you focus. Yes. That will help you to be consistent.

17:01Okay, I failed. But let's see what I can do better. Let's see what next I can do it. Then use your feedback Yeah. feedback mechanism. Try to fix it correctly. Yes. And it is more important for you to understand that it's harder to stay motivated during tough times and it's more important to stay disciplined in those times. Yeah, if you are a 6-year

17:25kid again 6 7 6 7 year kid you can if the parent is saying no you have to clean your room you have to clean your bed smallest thing, right? That will start making them habit of being in discipline. Morning when I wake up first Yeah, close kind of like Yeah. Kind of showing them responsibility. From the childhood Yeah, then it will become like average

17:54like second nature and like then just just just get it over with now. If you ever wondered why parents tell you to do chores apart from the fact that actually keeping like to keeping the house clean, they want you to be focused. They want you to be disciplined. Yeah. Better listen to them. Yeah. And then I'm probably not going to do it, but

18:16listen. Listen, please listen. It's going to help you in the future. All right. Last but not the least for the future generation. Right? What qualities do you believe leaders need today that come directly from life experience rather than formal training? Yeah. So again for this with formal training and all you will get how to make a strategy how to make a plan how to build a company and

18:51that you can make it with the formal uh study. With the experience you will get how to manage the tough time how to manage the failures how to manage the tough people and how to When I say tough time it's tough situations, right? Those things will only come with experience. And for you, what are some ways we can train for that those experiences?

19:21And what should every one of us young leaders do to like, you know, learn about these? One thing is very important that everybody has to complete the basic education. It's very, very important. You might have heard lot of places no need to do education then you can just do work and all of this. Those are For me, I don't believe on Basic education is required for

19:48everyone. Start talking to more and more people. Now you're a teenager. Communication. >> Communication. Try to understand the perspective, not just like simple talk. Try to understand the perspective of them. Uh learning new, new things. Your age is the time like Teenage is the time where you can do it what want. You have You have that. And now with the all this

20:14advancement you can do anything. It's like the golden age of exploration. >> Yeah. You guys will be the first one in the life that you will compete with robot. So you So you need to be more your generations Yeah. >> like By the time you you will be at the age of doing work and all, robot will be next to you. So you will might be

20:37competing with the robot. Or or or maybe we commit to it so much >> Yeah. cuz robots are algorithm like algo and whatever they say algorithm they say automated. Mhm. So they can't really learn how to deal with bad people, right? Cuz like everyone has different emotions, right? So I think humans take the upper hand there like we really like talking, communicating with

21:07like people who are not the same. Yeah. So, see, there will be always be there will be some positive side negative. Everything will be there for anything. I'm I'm just saying that yours generation or the generation just one generation away from me. You will be the first generation who who will be like directly working along with somebody who is automated generated correct AI and all

21:32who is next to you. It's It's like Yeah. >> How to manage tough situation. How to manage this that how to manage tough people failures and all. Human can play very critical role. Next, start learning the new thing. Start spending time on readings. Different thing. Just not one type of topic. By the age of 15 and all, the human mind is developed enough they

22:01can start understanding. By the age of 18, you are fully grown up. Your mind is fully grown up. You can understand. Yes. You just need to spend time. Now, with your age and all, this is a very good time to start reading. I would definitely suggest for all of you your age of 15, read book before. One is Atomic Habits for sure.

22:25For a youth to focus more on the study and all, there is one book called Deep Work. Deep Work. Great. Read the book, Great. Like Great, g r e a t. g r e A Great. You read that book, this book is more like explaining you how to be more consistent and all. That was the end of this podcast. Hope you had fun. I had so much fun talking
