#8 Selah Chung on 02 Sep 12Throughout the video he keeps going back to the idea of "self-obsessed" people (4:37) and how these sort of people not only isolate themselves from others, but diminish their opportunities to learn and experience different things throughout their life. You never really think about how influential your attitude could be and how detrimental it could be to your entire existence. The other section of this video that really interested me was "What real learning looks like" (12:47). Although you learn countless things in school, it is the things that you learn with your friends while just having discussions that are the sort of things that truly stick with you throughout life and shape you as a person. This sort of knowledge is priceless.
