Is Ignorance Bliss? | After Skool
Is Ignorance Bliss?
Ignorance is defined as the state of lacking knowledge or lacking information. With the internet today, we are flooded with so much information that we can’t possibly follow it all. There’s simply too much for our senses to handle. So the short answer is YES, ignorance is bliss.Now, there is a focus for your life and if you want a sense of purpose, you will have to develop a skill or an expertise in something. This is where being ignorant will not serve you. Imagine if Steph Curry stayed ignorant to basketball? Or Conor McGregor refused to learn every single aspect of MMA? (Do you think Conor is a good example here? Tell us your thoughts in the comments)When developing a skill there are 4 stages. Unconscious incompetence, conscious incompetence, conscious competence and unconscious competence. These are the 4 steps to becoming a master at something.For more interesting animations, please subscribe!Animation by KramGallery.comVideo clip about "practice" was Allen Iverson at an NBA Press Conference in 2015. Hopefully some of you are old enough to get the reference.

A Lack of Resources is NOT Your Problem - Tony Robbins | After Skool
A Lack of Resources is NOT Your Problem - Tony Robbins
Tony Robbins is an author, motivational speaker and life coach. He explains that most people believe they can't do something because of a lack of resources. They don't accomplish their goal because they don't have enough money, enough time, enough ability, etc. The most successful people don't achieve their success because resources are handed to them, they achieve success because they are RESOURCEFUL. Resourcefulness is the ultimate resource. In order to be resourceful, you must master your emotions.If you are interested in making your own whiteboard animation, visit https://www.afterskool.net/ and contact us.Please help us keep this channel running by supporting us on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/AfterSkoolLastly, hit the notifications bell to see future videos.

Ancient Egyptian Birth Control | After Skool
Ancient Egyptian Birth Control
Over 4000 years ago, Ancient Egyptians were far ahead of their time. They had advanced architecture, agriculture, writing and even birth control. Crocodile dung, Acacia fruit, pomegranate seeds and lamb intestines were just a few of the items that ancient Egyptians used in order to prevent birth. Although these methods may seems bizarre to us today, they were actually quite effective and Egypt did have a much lower birth rate than other areas of the world during the same time.Please subscribe for more interesting animations.Animation by https://www.kramgallery.com/Sources:

Moon Speech - John F. Kennedy (Animated) | After Skool
Moon Speech - John F. Kennedy (Animated)
On September 12, 1962, John F. Kennedy gave one of the best speeches in recorded history. "We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win". 7 years after JFK's historic speech, Apollo 11 landed on the moon on July 20, 1969. It has been nearly 50 years since that day, and it is an event still widely discussed. Mankind has not set foot on a new planet or moon since.These animations take a tremendous amount of time and effort.
