Don't just watch videos on YouTube and pass without adding value to your life. Take the initiative, actively learn and apply the knowledge you get from those educational videos that you just watched. Applying what you learn from videos is very crucial.
If you are the type that loves watching an educational content do this;
Pick a particular topic that you love about.
Spend like two hours a day watching videos related to the area of your interest on YouTube or other educational platforms.
Set a goal to apply every bit of thing that you learned from those videos and make it a reality in your life.
Passive consumption of content does not guarantee true learning, only active application does. So whenever you engage in watching a content, make sure you are actively benefiting on it, this is very important for your personal growth.
Knowledge acquired but not applied cannot hold any value, it is completely a waste. If there is something new that you have learned watching those educational content, make sure apply it in real life, so that it does not become a waste of knowledge.
Don't just passively consume content, actively learn and apply it.
