Let's start.</p> <p>Our first word is specificity, specificity, a little difficult to pronounce, specificity. In fact,</p> <p>many native speakers have trouble pronouncing this word, especially if you say it fast</p> <p>in a sentence, specificity, specificity, specificity. Sometimes have trouble</p> <p>pronouncing it, too, but I'm doing it correctly now, specificity.</p> <p>Specificity is the noun. Specificity means, um...specific-ness is what it really means,</p> <p>right? It means being specific, being detailed, being very exact. It's kind of the</p> <p>opposite of generality.

That's not detailed. It's very general, it's imprecise.</p> <p>So Tim Ferris is saying that the question "what do I want", it's an imprecise question.</p> <p>It's not a specific question, it's too general. It's too imprecise.</p> <p>Our next word is fated, to be fated. He says the question "what are your goals", that</p> <p>question is fated for confusion, it's fated to cause confusion. To be fated for means to</p> <p>be destined for. It means something that absolutely will happen in the future or soon.</p> <p>So to be fated for confusion, it means it absolutely will create confusion in the
