  • You are already ahead of 90% of the people your age if you can just communicate competently.

  • It is statistically proven that the people who are better communicators, they get better job opportunities and make more money and they attract higher quality of the opposite sex.

  • And if you look at the people under the age of 25 nowadays, you will see that there is a supply and demand issue.

  • There's a demand for good communicators, but there's not a lot of supply.

  • And when there's not a lot of supply, you don't necessarily need to be the best.

  • You just need to be okay.

  • So you'd be pretty dumb to click off this video because this video might just save the rest of your entire life.

  • Being a good communicator is the equivalent of being a 6'3 handsome man nowadays in our generation.

  • So let me show you how.

  • When I was 12 years old, I was in year six at the time,

  • I was the school captain of my primary school and I think maybe 30 or 40 kids because I was probably the best speaker there.

  • I always try to encourage other people by telling them to never give up and to always try their best.

  • And then three or four months later,

  • I started dating the other school captain who was a good speaker as well.

  • Around five months into our lovey-dovey stage, we decided to go on like a Halloween trick or treating.

  • And one of my friends came along with us two, there was three of us.

  • And I could tell that she was extremely attracted to my friend that she hadn't seen before.

  • And when we decided to go home, my girlfriend went to her place and my friend came back to my place.

  • And my friend started to explain to me how he could tell that she was eyeing him.

  • And that just confirmed my suspicions.

  • So that was when I developed a lot of anxiety, a lot of jealousy.

  • And this is where my insecurity started to come in.

  • I started to look myself in the mirror every single day and think I was ugly, even though I wasn't.

  • And because I had built those insecurities, my communication skills suffered.

  • Because, probably wondering why I have this picture up here.

  • This pipe represents your inability to speak, okay?

  • This, the tap, the quality of water represents the quality of your communication.

  • I had, because of my anxiety, developed gunk in this tap.

  • We don't want that.

  • Because you could be,

  • I was a very, very good communicator, but the blockage was holding me back from being a good communicator.

  • You could be the best speaker out there, but if you have a lot of anxiety, a lot of embarrassment, a lot of, like a fear of judgment, you're not going to be able to express yourself clearly because it feels like there's a block in your throat.

  • Feels like there's just something blocking you, okay?

  • And the way you get rid of this is by just simply asking yourself where it comes from.

  • What's causing this gunk in the tap?

  • What's causing it?

  • Is it something to do with the start, where it's coming from, right?

  • How can you fix that?

  • It's all about getting to the root cause on why it's there in the first place.

  • Why can't I express myself clearly?

  • Why am I so scared of talking to that girl?

  • Number one exercise you will do in order to improve your communication, okay?

  • Because this, the gunk, is holding you back.

  • I'll leave a video at the end of this video on how I overcame my anxiety, okay?

  • Now, once this is limited, you're never going to be perfect, okay?

  • I get anxious all the time.

  • I get embarrassed all the time.

  • I fear judgment quite a bit, but I just have less gunk than other people do, meaning I'm a better communicator compared to other people, meaning I get better opportunities.

  • People can sense the confidence, okay?

  • How do we get better quality water?

  • Which is your communication skills.

  • I'm going to share with you four crucial things that aren't necessarily hard.

  • They're very, very easy that you can do today to improve this water quality.

  • Number one, you must realize the intention creates your tension.

  • The intention behind why you speak, okay?

  • I remember when I was in year seven.

  • This is where my insecurities had developed quite a bit.

  • I went up to talk to a pretty attractive girl on the bench at school.

  • It was like my third or fourth day of school.

  • A lot of you guys know this story.

  • And I went in with the intention of talking to this girl to get validated by her.

  • I didn't really want to connect with her.

  • So there was an awkward silence five seconds in, and the conversation just ended off there.

  • If I had went in with the intention just to connect with this woman, not to attract her, just to connect with her, find out more about her.

  • Trust me, it would have gone so much better.

  • Your intention creates the type of tension.

  • If you talk to a girl, you just do it to connect with her, not to necessarily attract her.

  • You just be your best self.

  • You spread love, you spread positivity.

  • Trust me, that blockage is going to be reduced and your water is going to be higher quality.

  • This is easy, but not all of you would like it.

  • And the second one is to actually read more books.

  • Now, the reason I say to read more books, two main reasons.

  • Number one, it increases your vocabulary.

  • Half of the words you probably hear me say that are kind of advanced, even though I don't really say many advanced words because I'm speaking to a younger audience, is from the books I've read.

  • Each time I read, which is usually around 30 to 60 minutes per day,

  • I will highlight one to two words that aren't too robotic, but I've heard them before and I want to start using more in public.

  • If you just have a really, really simple vocabulary, it's very hard to be a really good communicator.

  • There's like a cap to the quality of water you can be.

  • So expand your vocabulary.

  • Now, second thing, when you're reading, you, most of the time, are mentally, trying to think of the word.

  • Fuck, I meant to be a good communicator.

  • Rehearsing what you're reading in your mind.

  • There are various studies to prove this.

  • I originally heard it from Andrew Huberman on reading and how it improves communication.

  • So read more.

  • Specifically books that help your future self because you're gaining knowledge and becoming a better communicator.

  • It is literally a cheat code.

  • Third thing, it kind of goes to eliminating the guck out of your pipe and that is improving your looks and improving just your overall appearance.

  • Now, I'm not one of those black pill motherfuckers, looks max type of dudes, yeah?

  • I'm only saying this because when you feel confident, you express how you feel.

  • Get some nice clothes that actually fit you.

  • Me, I wear Kmart clothes.

  • I don't wear nothing special, but I wear clothes that fit me.

  • Get yourself a haircut, start getting better sleep, look after your skin, start eating a clean diet.

  • These really simple things that will improve your looks and improve how you feel so you naturally feel more confident.

  • Now, the fourth thing that has improved my communication skills,

  • I'd say probably the most because I do it so much, is speaking on camera.

  • I will play a snippet of me three years ago with my first ever YouTube video.

  • Hello everyone, welcome back to another video.

  • Today's video, I'm not gonna be bringing you a workout video, but instead,

  • I'm gonna be giving you five tips how to get abs in four weeks.

  • Now, four weeks might sound like a short time, but it really isn't.

  • But if you look like this, then you can maybe add a zero on top of that four because there's definitely nutritional issues going on.

  • Can you sense a difference?

  • My tone is so much better, my confidence is so much better simply because I have practiced.

  • So, if you want to jump straight in, go out there and practice in public.

  • A lot of you don't really wanna do that, maybe don't have time to do that with school and everything.

  • 10 minutes per day, five minutes per day, sit in the chair and just yap to the camera.

  • Documents your life.

  • Use it as a journal, right?

  • You're making your life into a movie?

  • Post it on YouTube, private your videos, but you're also improving your communication.

  • That's it from me and I'll catch you in the next one.

  • Thanks.

You are already ahead of 90% of the people your age if you can just communicate competently.
