00:00:41
best of all once you learn a skill you
00:00:44
own it for the rest of your life so the
00:00:46
first attractive skill to learn is
00:00:48
working out I'm talking about going to
00:00:50
the gym doing sports and martial arts
00:00:52
working out and being healthy is one of
00:00:54
the most attractive traits to have
00:00:56
personally I like going to the gym three
00:00:58
times a week and I'm trying to build
00:00:59
that aesthetic fighter physique I'm also
00:01:01
in the Yale kickboxing club and I do
00:01:03
around 8,000 steps of walking each day
00:01:05
but you can pick whatever form of
00:01:07
exercise that you enjoy most guys anyone
00:01:10
can go from a five to an eight in
00:01:12
attractiveness simply by working out
00:01:14
consistently and going to the gym is
00:01:15
probably the easiest way to build muscle
00:01:18
and get more lean for most people so if
00:01:20
you're a teenager or in your 20s working
00:01:22
out is one of the best investments you
00:01:24
can make you'll look more attractive
00:01:26
feel healthier and also be more mentally
00:01:28
sharp now a second attractive skill you
00:01:30
want to learn is writing writing is
00:01:33
probably the greatest skill of the 21st
00:01:35
century whether you're making a YouTube
00:01:37
script an essay a tweet or a website or
00:01:40
maybe you're trying to sell a product
00:01:41
writing is the foundation and good
00:01:43
writing is simply persuasive
00:01:45
communication stop complicating things
00:01:47
right being a good writer doesn't mean
00:01:49
you have to use crazy bombastic and hard
00:01:51
words it simply means that your writing
00:01:53
is clear and concise I would much rather
00:01:56
write in a way where even a fourth
00:01:58
grader can understand me like even even
00:02:00
if you notice the way I'm talking to you
00:02:01
right now it's simple language because
00:02:04
Simplicity is the ultimate
00:02:05
sophistication guys being a good writer
00:02:08
is honestly one of the biggest flexs in
00:02:10
my opinion why because you're earning
00:02:12
with your mind not with your time not
00:02:15
with your looks it's such a rewarding
00:02:17
and Powerful skill to learn and you can
00:02:19
share a lot of compelling stories and
00:02:20
ideas to help other people grow so learn
00:02:23
how to write and you'll thank yourself
00:02:24
later now the next attractive skill you
00:02:26
want to learn is music go learn a new
00:02:28
instrument learn to make house music
00:02:30
learn to DJ guys music is such a fun
00:02:33
skill where not only are you relaxing
00:02:34
your brain and becoming smarter but it's
00:02:36
also very social activity it's one thing
00:02:38
to go to a concert with your friends
00:02:41
it's another thing to become the artist
00:02:43
personally I've played the piano for
00:02:45
over 10 years I started with classical
00:02:47
piano and then I learned how to
00:02:48
improvise with jazz one time I remember
00:02:51
performing piano to a thousand people
00:02:53
when I was like 13 that was so fun and
00:02:55
it's such a cool experience that I hope
00:02:57
to continue doing in the future but just
00:02:59
imagine you're built like a Chad you're
00:03:01
handsome you're smart you're rich but
00:03:03
there's another side to you that
00:03:05
creative spiritual side that's just
00:03:07
super attractive so learn music it's a
00:03:09
beautiful skill and also one that you
00:03:11
can enjoy for the rest of your life now
00:03:14
attractive skill number four is content
00:03:16
creation becoming a Creator is one of
00:03:18
the most powerful things you can do
00:03:19
today I went from Z to 100,000
00:03:22
subscribers on YouTube in under 6 months
00:03:24
and I did this all while balancing
00:03:25
school at Yale having cool hobbies and a
00:03:28
fun social life guys becoming a Creator
00:03:30
allows you to document your journey it
00:03:32
allows you to spread a message and
00:03:34
impact millions of people you can also
00:03:36
build a crazy Network like I'm not
00:03:38
trying to flex but I've connected with
00:03:40
so many millionaires serial
00:03:42
entrepreneurs artists actresses and cool
00:03:44
people and by far the easiest way to
00:03:46
learn content creation is to start
00:03:49
literally just start post that first
00:03:51
video on YouTube and get better each
00:03:53
time and make sure you have a movement
00:03:55
don't just Chase views or likes these
00:03:57
pointless vanity metrics but become a
00:04:00
Creator who educates and inspires others
00:04:03
and with time and effort you'll build a
00:04:05
magnetic personal brand and once you
00:04:07
have that it's like instant credibility
00:04:09
you get so many opportunities and you'll
00:04:11
also build a crazy social network now
00:04:14
the next attractive skill to have is
00:04:16
good taste Colin what do you mean by
00:04:18
good taste like literally I'm talking
00:04:19
about the ability to have an aesthetic
00:04:21
sense so for example whenever you see
00:04:23
something on Instagram that you like you
00:04:25
screenshot it or add it to an album or
00:04:27
whenever you see a cool picture or a
00:04:29
quote on Pinterest save it now you might
00:04:31
already be doing these things but most
00:04:33
likely you haven't been doing it
00:04:35
consciously because what you don't
00:04:37
realize is that having good tastes is a
00:04:40
skill knowing what you like is super
00:04:42
valuable so for example Rick Rubin is
00:04:45
one of the richest producers of all time
00:04:47
he's worth more than $300 million and he
00:04:50
doesn't really know how to play music
00:04:51
but he has good taste so get into the
00:04:54
habit of building your taste it's also a
00:04:56
great way to get to know your unique
00:04:58
personality over time you can design a
00:05:00
life that is not only aesthetic but also
00:05:03
exciting now the next skill on this list
00:05:05
is programming listen programming is not
00:05:07
for everyone but it's definitely a
00:05:09
useful skill to learn because you can
00:05:10
create a system that repeats actions
00:05:13
through automation that is what you call
00:05:15
leverage and Leverage is how you become
00:05:17
super wealthy personally I study
00:05:19
computer science at Yale but there's
00:05:20
just so many free resources online where
00:05:22
you can learn from now another
00:05:24
alternative to programming is web design
00:05:26
it doesn't matter if the year is 2030 or
00:05:28
2045 if you can build beautiful websites
00:05:31
you'll make a lot of money because
00:05:33
there's just so much demand for it also
00:05:35
nowadays there's so many no code tools
00:05:37
like webflow or framer so learn how to
00:05:39
code or design cool websites is another
00:05:41
high income skill that's super valuable
00:05:43
and useful now the next attractive skill
00:05:45
to learn is networking this one is a
00:05:48
powerful one if you can Master the art
00:05:50
of conversation and tribe building life
00:05:53
becomes incredibly fun because you can
00:05:55
make friends anywhere in any place in
00:05:57
the world you can get new jobs and
00:05:59
opportunities and you can learn new
00:06:00
things guys the skill of networking is
00:06:03
probably a lifelong Pursuit for most
00:06:05
people it requires a lot of practice if
00:06:07
you want to learn to improve your social
00:06:08
skills I'd highly recommend reading How
00:06:10
to Win Friends and Influence People it's
00:06:12
such a classic book and it will change
00:06:14
your life now another life hack for
00:06:16
networking is to have a magnetic
00:06:18
personal brand honestly if you create
00:06:20
art and create content online it's such
00:06:22
an easy and Powerful way to network with
00:06:24
other cool people also get in the habit
00:06:26
of giving without any expectation of
00:06:29
return give compliments to your friends
00:06:31
give personalized gifts give books or
00:06:33
notes reach out to your favorite Creator
00:06:35
and tell him you love his videos and
00:06:37
don't ask for anything back guys in the
00:06:39
long run if you keep giving without
00:06:40
asking anything in return you just
00:06:42
naturally build a crazy network of
00:06:44
people who are on your side and it's
00:06:46
such a superpower now the next
00:06:48
attractive skill on this list is cooking
00:06:50
cooking is one of the coolest skills to
00:06:52
have as a man and woman if you can cook
00:06:54
a perfect medium rare steak or a banger
00:06:56
fried rice look being able to to cook
00:06:59
doesn't mean that you have to stay at
00:07:01
home all the time like me for example I
00:07:03
love going out and I enjoy going to nice
00:07:05
dinners with people but the skill of
00:07:07
cooking is such a basic skill if you
00:07:09
don't even know how to fry an egg I
00:07:11
don't know if I can trust you seriously
00:07:13
also if you have some signature dishes
00:07:14
that you make extra points just shows
00:07:16
another side of you that's creative and
00:07:19
sophisticated guys the ability to cook
00:07:21
to live a healthier lifestyle is just
00:07:23
super attractive so learn how to cook
00:07:26
now the next attractive skill is having
00:07:28
quick wit and a good sense of of humor
00:07:30
look you can be a very smart rich and
00:07:32
fit guy but if you don't have a good
00:07:34
sense of humor and a light-heartedness
00:07:36
in your personality you're not going to
00:07:37
be charismatic you got to be able to
00:07:39
have that humor inside of you where you
00:07:41
just find things positive in life you
00:07:43
got to be able to rip those on liners to
00:07:45
say what you want without a filter and
00:07:47
be really creative now I was very lucky
00:07:49
to grow up in a family where I could be
00:07:51
myself where I was encouraged to have
00:07:53
quick wit my dad's actually a super
00:07:55
funny guy and I think I absorb a lot of
00:07:57
his light-hearted soul guys don't take
00:07:59
life too seriously at the end of the day
00:08:01
you're just a monkey with a plan now the
00:08:03
last skill you want to learn is meta
00:08:05
learning meta learning is learning how
00:08:07
to learn and this is probably the
00:08:09
highest leverage skill on this list for
00:08:11
example learning how to study is a form
00:08:13
of meta learning because once you have
00:08:14
an effective Learning System and you
00:08:16
know techniques like active recall or
00:08:18
space repetition you can get good grades
00:08:20
while studying only 2 hours a day meta
00:08:22
learning is about knowing how to learn
00:08:24
things fast it's about getting the best
00:08:26
knowledge you can in the most effective
00:08:28
and efficient way it's about using books
00:08:30
and podcasts and videos to your
00:08:32
advantage so learn how to learn if you
00:08:34
can Master meta learning you can Master
00:08:37
any skill and if you can Master any
00:08:38
skill you will become that guy so I hope
00:08:41
you guys found this video helpful if you
00:08:43
did share this video and help a friend
00:08:45
