In this episode we talk about how to improve your engineering success by hanging out with winners!!!
What's up everyone this is Jake Voorhees and you're watching episode 022 of The 1% Engineer Show.
Since we just did a show about how to study with A-listers this show is going to encourage
you to hang out with those people more so that you surround yourself with a better environment
and encourages everyone's chances for success.
And definitely you.
So yes we heard this before the apple doesn't fall far from the tree line, but is it actually
true?
I'm going to tell you that absolutely is.
Jim Rohn, and you can look him up he's a famous business guy, is notorious for saying this.
"You are the average of the five people that you spend the most time with" and now you
see why your parents didn't want you hanging out with go to college.
Because they want you to be a 1% Engineer and you can't do that if you don't go to college
and if you don't hang out with people who are doing that early on in life then your
chances of just being some high school dropout some college dropout are way better.
And the same thing applies all throughout your life if you surround yourself with losers
you're probably going to lose if you surround yourself with winners you're probably going
to win.
That's rocket ships launching rocket rocket rocket.
So it turns out your parents were right!
Weird.
Just think about how many micro-decisions and micro-environmental factors impact you
everyday.
Things that are absorbed into your brain things that you don't even think about but they influence
your thinking they influence your subconscious the influence your decisions your behaviors.
And of you are around people who have more of an emphasis on studying and I'm more serious
about classes and more serious about the future of their careers, relationship, with professors
and they actually want to do well in every homework assignment, they want to do well
in every exam, they want to put in that extra time, they want to stay after class, they
want to go to office hours, they really want to build and garner relationship with that
professor.
And when you're around these people, think about how that positively impacts your ability
to passively do all the same stuff yourself, and you're going to be an a-lister just by
being around these people.
And that's the point of Jim Rohn's Theory, that's the point of this show, to encourage
you not just to study with these A-listers, study with these superstar stand out 1% Engineers,
but for you to hang out with them as much as possible so you can have the highest chances
of success yourself.
That's the point of the average 5 type of thinking that you're the average of these
five people who are "Knights of the Round Table" and you want to be a superstar yourself.
So hang out with them more.
So again these are the kids you want to be around people who are going to encourage you
to skip class who are going to sit in the back not listen, might be on their phones,
they're never going to go to office hours they might study a little bit less they might
not too that last homework assignment they might choose to go out on that Tuesday Wednesday
night when you guys all know there's plenty of keggers Thursday Friday Saturday if you
have class early on Friday maybe you could just go to that party for a couple hours and
not all night but you want to be hanging out with these kids who are going to be more serious
about school more serious about the curriculum and want to prevail want to succeed.
So I'll refer to Episode 021 in conjunction to this episode figure out who these ballers
are in your classes do homework with them hang out with them more, jus tbe around them
more, and you guys will all win together.
And just by being around them, not to mention studying with them, and doing homework assignments
with them but you will dramatically increase your grades you wouldn't crease your attitude
on success you will increase your relationships with the professors because they will see
all these a-lister's all these 1% Engineers being together.
You will increase of the positivity of your overall outlook on your career in your future
so hang out with these people find these people and spend time with them.
Increase the value of these average five people that you spend all your time with because
that will allow you to win.
So keep being awesome , find other people who are being awesome, and together be superstar
1% Engineers.
