The ONE Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Results
Over to you. I want to know about your dreams as a student.
Join the discussion and let us know your dreams and your journey. Have your dreams changed since were a student? Or maybe since you were a kid?

About the 10k hrs to master something… nah
With age I confirm that I can learn and master things faster when different learning methods are made available. I mastered Python basics in 2 weeks. I mastered C++ basics in 3 hrs.
There is a Chinese idiom, 4 letters idiom, 事半功倍(shì bàn gōng bèi), more with less.
And about lighting… you also need color. I have 1 e-book about the math of pixels (you will literally paint with numbers) and 1 radical color course (debunk the mystery of mastering color, from struggle to eternal love of color). You can find both at https://blendernpr.org/store/

Does weather is cloudy ! LOL
Gleb Alexandrov
Oh yes, super cloudy with occasional spikes of sunlight. Was a nightmare to film it, but afterwards we thought it creates a cool effects as well. So was worth it.
David Frazier
As always, great video. This was very very helpful and inspiring. Thanks Gleb! I just bought your new lighting video series and am super stoked to begin devouring it. Keep up the great work. Truly grateful for all you do.
Gleb Alexandrov
David, thank you! That’s heart warming indeed 🙂
John McClane
It is all good – dreams, inspiration, motivation, etc, thanks! But what your main life goal? Be more and more popular, that’s all?
ps If everyone wants to be popular, who will work hard at factories?:)
Gleb Alexandrov
John, robots, robots will work at factories, that’s inevitable 🙂 Why waste our time for a nonsense labor, when we can spend it on something meaningful like science, culture and communication (and inventing robots)?
Popularity is not a goal, you’re right. With that said, when we share knowledge online, we’d like to grow our audience. More happy people, more impact! 🙂
John McClane
Wise words! May be you are philosopher, prophet or good genius in 3d art, what’s lead people to bright future? Any way good luck on your life path!
ps May the Force be with you!:)

Aaaa! 😀 I see some Marx connotations here, factories, workers, 8-hour day, alienating labor, production, conveyor system invented by Ford, but ok! Funny anyway 😀
