It's a common misconception, but just participating in seminars or courses doesn't mean anything.

If you're only passively listening, the information won't stick in your mind, and you'll never gain the practical knowledge needed to use it effectively. This is the same in the Web3 industry and in cryptocurrency trading.

That's why the most important thing is your mindset. Approach it with the determination to absorb not just the know-how from the instructor, but also their thought patterns, mindset, and methods. If you want to set your sights higher, it's okay to have the ambition to grow to the point where you can collaborate with the instructor in a few years.

If you approach it proactively, the results will come naturally. Seriously.

There's nothing wrong with that. I've heard too many people think they've gained just by spending money on courses, but actually they're just getting ripped off.

The core is to gain practical experience; just listening isn't enough.

That's a great point. Passive listening really is a waste of time.

That's right, attending classes is like listening to a story, but those who truly make money are the ones who practice afterward.

Listening is satisfying, but taking action is more satisfying. That is the truth.

Really, attending lectures is like listening to a heavenly book; without putting in effort, it's all in vain. I truly understand this point. Having attended so many crypto lectures, those who actually make money are the ones who research on their own after class and review repeatedly. Honestly, those who just listen without practicing forget everything after two weeks. Taking diligent notes, asking questions, and consulting with the instructor are the right ways. I used to do it this way. If you ask me, the most feared attitude is finishing the lecture and then feeling done, and then blaming the course for being useless. That logic is truly incredible. People who can persistently stay in contact with the instructor and seek advice regularly usually live quite comfortably in the crypto world. Lectures are just the starting point; the real skills come afterward.

There's nothing wrong with that. Attending a lecture and feeling enlightened is common among many people. The ones who truly make money are the ones who review and analyze intensively after the class. Especially in Web3, just listening to the instructor boast is useless; you have to get hands-on, try, and learn from mistakes. It's a mindset issue—without the ambition to surpass the instructor, you'll eventually just be a rookie.

That's true, just attending classes doesn't equal making money. Listening without practice makes the brain a sieve, and Web3 is the same. If you really want to surpass the instructor, you need to have some ambition.

I agree with this statement, but the reality is that many people participate and then it's over, with a bunch of notes but an empty mind.
