If I had one bean left I would probably do something I always wanted to do because it doesn’t matter if I die that day I’d be dead tomorrow and come out another womb ready to repeat the cycle of life. Wonder what porn in the future would be like... *cocks gun*
This video changed my entire life. I wrote my college essay on it (which got me accepted into every college I applied for) and countless other assignments. Before I watched this video I lived a very sheltered and uneventful life, addicted to my technology. That was 3 years ago. Now I make what I can with every day. I'm obsessed with nature and spend as much time outside as I can. I now consider myself an extrovert and I attribute that all to this video. I really hope the creator sees this and knows how much they have effected lives. I am forever grateful.
I'm 68 years old. I have had many good days and some bad. Some decades were less meaningful than others. But what I have found is that my days becomes more precious with each passing day - not because I have fewer days left, but because I have (in many cases) learned from the mistakes of the past. I improve a little every day. I love people a little more every day. I love life a little more every day. And I keep working on my goals. So, yes I find this video very inspirational cause that last jelly bean should be really sweet no matter what color it is.
This is a great, deep, and philosophical video, but what we fail to realize is that everything we do in life should be cherished... time spent in school, being asleep, long drives, growing up, eating, drinking, preparing food, and even working. All of those moments is what makes our lives so unique (well maybe except for sleeping).
@@danae5578 Humour requires a deep understanding of psychology, and a lot of general knowledge. That understanding and knowledge can be repurposed into profundity.
When my grandfather was dying, I had to go back home for a few days. I lived in a different state at the time. On my way home there was a candy store. My grandfather's last question he asked me was to bring him some jelly beans back to enjoy, since I was coming back a few days later. He died the next day, but I still passed the candy store. I called my mother while I was in front of the store, gathering my thoughts, and she said that at that time she and a room full of people had heard (and felt) something hit my mother, then the floor, loudly. They looked down, and it was a green jelly bean. My grandfather hadn't had any of those special sugar-free jelly beans he had loved for months. We're not sure where it came from, but I like to think it was a reminder from my grandfather that everything was okay, and to live my life well. Thanks for the video, Ze Frank.
Guys this isn't depressing or sad. Most of the time you just spend living! Think about how much you love being in your bed! Yep that's how much you spend in it! How much do you love food? I don't mind eating my whole life! Nothing better than tv! Man, the new season is out, let's go watch it! See. It's not depressing, it's life, it's what you love and do everyday! Be happy, think positively!
@@aeizn1012 They've got a point. People like Gordon Ramsay aren't wasting jellybeans eating or preparing food, studying food and finding new ways to serve food. They're just living out their passion. Someone with zero experience can be as passionate as a master, it just depends how far you go and if you think it was worth your beans when you're done.
He means, He's spending time, eating jelly beans, next one.. He's EATING time, (get it? Cause of the video? :p he's killing jellybeans. Jellybeans = time xD )
.....this just made me feel extremely depressed and makes me feel like my life is worthless... if you'll excuse me, i will now go sit huddled in a corner and rock back and forth singing quietly to myself.
***** I remember this quote from some famous guy or other: "Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time." Or something like that. If you had fun and possibly increased your gaming skills, then it hasn't been worthless. Besides, if you don't like the way your life is going with all the Let's Plays and video walkthroughs, you could decide to change it at any time! Taking up a hobby maybe? What I'm trying to say is that, no matter how many jelly beans we have left and no matter how we spend them, our lives are worth it and can always be turned around. Even when you think you're worthless, when you feel like a lost cause, there's always someone who cares enough about you to disagree and nudge you in the right direction. You're life is not worthless, so don't give up on yourself. :)
If it makes you feel any better, think of it this way: In the grand cosmic scheme of things, ALL human lives are "worthless," in the sense that nothing we do or don't do will have any lasting significance. The Earth will spin regardless of your feelings on the matter. And eventually, the sun will burn itself out whether we want it to or not. Even diamonds are not "forever," but caught in a slow (but never ending) state of decay, on a scale large and so immense we simply cannot perceive it. The Universe is indifferent to the cares or concerns of human beings--it always has been, and always will be. So worrying about having "wasted your life" is a pointless endeavor. ...holy sh*t now that I think of it, that's even more depressing. I apologize--I don't know what part of this was meant to be comforting, but it went the COMPLETE opposite direction. My apologies. Y_Y
I revisit this periodically since I've first watched it, especially during those moments where I have to decide and resolve how to spend my life. Thank you, Frank.
Because of this video I now do things that I love more often....such as going to the beach, sitting down and observing nature, and spending time with my family and friends. If I had never stumbles across this video, I might not be happier in life.....Thank You.
Michael Suarez you left this comment 2 years ago. What has happened in your life since then? What was your favorite memory from the last two years? What was your worst?
Does it matter? If you had one left and didn't know today would be no different than if you had 10,000. If you did know, you'd spend that time worrying about how to make the most of it. Then you would spend the last of your moments regretting that you didn't make good enough use of your time. Just be, my friend. And be glad you have time at all.
I have already lived 4,355 days of my life and I am 12. I watched this and it has made me so inspired to do what I want to do and become the best person I can be. I was scrolling through youtube not doing my homework but I am glad I did, because it means I found this. I am going to go now and finish all my homework so that I can be the best person that I can possibly become. I am going to make sure that my part in our future generation is done well and that not everyone in this world will be totally screwed. I dream to bring up children of my own someday and teach them about things like this. I am excited for everyday that is to come in my future and I will use each day wisely.
it's my 4892 days tmr and I felt like I have never done anything in life and maybe never will be able to and maybe no one will even know this one comment exists just like no one will know or care that I live in this world maybe 500 years later ah but at least maybe most of u would be just like me so at least I'm not alone
How is adulthood. I've not been here long, and I already feel as though my childhood was far, far behind me, and that I wasted it being too much of an adult. I wish I could go back.
@@NearlyBatmanI was told as child that I was so grown up. It was said as praise. What they didn’t know, was I didn’t have the option to be child; I had to be grown up. I started working very young to get money for my mom to buy food, pay the electric bill. I had adult worries from my earliest memories. Now as an adult with children of my own, they are getting the childhood I would have loved. I get to be a part of their childhoods, and it’s FUN. I’m making up for what I didn’t get. 🎉
I want my 12 y/o enthusiasm back. I'm only 22, but years now of sleep deprivation, and and barely paying the bills despite pulling too much overtime has been grinding me down to a bitter husk. I'm almost out of the water. Almost out of that once good, now god forsaken plant. Almost got my mom to where she doesn't need my assistance. Almost got my truck back to reliable. Almost got my wage high enough. When I'm done with all that, I'll start living again.
SithMasterpresents Um, you know that things that move you so much? Like for me, a little girl hugging me, or someone being really polite or nice to me? That feeling, so much that it makes me cry.
I dont know if the creator will see this, I highly doubt it, but this isn't the first time I've come back to this video when having a rough time, in a sense it gives me hope, through all the stress and pain everyday life has, this is a reminder of a constant, in an ever changing world, there are things that everybody does, sleep, eat, travel in one way or another, whether it be to work or out of state, thank you zefrank, you've created memories and art
I've watched this video quite a few times now, and each time it's made me cry. The ending part "How much time have you spent worrying instead of doing something you love" means so much to me. For the past couple of years I've suffered with depression, and hearing that line makes me realise how silly I was getting hung up on things that don't really matter. No matter how bad things get, it'll always get better. Life's about learning, taking hits, falling down but then getting back up again. And that getting up again makes us a stronger person, and that's what truly counts
+Then00bhunt3r Why did i click on this video? For jelly beans? Because i didn't know what they meant? Well i'm wasting brain power... that should be in this video wasting brain power
this honestly almost made me tear up. I am in control of my life. I spend just about every single day the way I choose. I'm happy. I didn't get choked up because I'm upset with how I'm spending my time. I'm just afraid for others and thankful somebody made a video of this nature. A huge part of my message and what I'm about is helping people realize this simple truth. Great video.
Wow 7yrs almost to the day (off by 3days). I try so hard to do as little as possible these days, somehow life gets in the way. I volunteer at a community transport service that get low income/elderly to medical appts or shopping ( I love it and everyone is so grateful for the service), I live with both my adult children so often do things like go shopping etc with either or both of them. While I do enjoy the 'things' I do, I still endeavour to do as little as I can.
This video changed my life. And I mean that. Thank you. You've made me appreciate my time and turn my life around multiple times. My mother once told me, "If you ever feel like quitting, remember why you started." And sometimes I find it hard to remember the reason. When those times come I either think of or watch this video and it always keeps me going. It always reminds me that the little bit that I have left (I'll be 35 this year) can go toward so many better things than the sadness or grief that I am currently experiencing at those times. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. This is an amazing message and presentation.
Never throw away your beans. There's always always ALWAYS something you can do that will matter. Every day of every person is important, and it starts with you and today.
Imagine how many jellybeans were brutally taken away from some individuals, with all the wars, weapon manufacturing, crimes and greed... That would accumulate really fast...
I stumble across this sometimes. It never fails to make me cry. The idea of my death is so sad. I'm not afraid. Just utterly crushed. I don't want this life to end no matter how hard it is.
My college showed this thinking it will motivate my class, it didn't, in fact it made me become more depressed as it reminds me that death is a real thing and of course it would foolish to completely ignore it, but it's definitely more demotivating to have the fear of your current existence eventually being put to a screeching halt.
If this is depressing then use that pain to motivate you to change instead of finding more excuses to keep wasting what few jelly beans you have left. Depression is the greatest teacher because it forces us to see ourselves for who we really are without the lies and delusions we tell ourselves.
what. im pretty sure depression teaches you to lie and delude yourself into thinking you're worthless. not some magical humbling journey. you may be describing the emotion "humiliation"
@@stevebean1234 that's what I was thinking too. If depression was a teacher.. it would be a horrible one. When you are depressed, you dont see yourself clearly.. it changes you and how you view everything around you. It lies and manipulates your thoughts... I think you are mistaking depression for general sadness. Depression is a mental illness... not a way of life.
same, xD.. if only i can get this pressure off my head.. so i can stare at a screen longer than 10 minutes.. you were sick so you'd know what i mean.. the dizzy head thing from moving. i don't like being sick Dx
Sanjid Anoy Don't be scared my friend, We all have to go threw it. Just try and live your life as how you wanna live it! do what you wanna do! Have fun.. Don't let others make you choose how you wan't to live. :)
Sanjid Anoy I know, but with life comes death. If you live your life to the fullest and try your best at everything you possibly can, you can die remotely happy. My granddad always said to me, "When you're scared about doing something, think about all the people who can't do it and do it for them." I live by that quote every day of my life :)
Sanjid Anoy dont let it scare you, let it motivate you to do what you think is important. I was shocked that we spend nearly as this much time grooming as we do helping others. After watching this video i will definitely change that
I know this was posted years ago, so i'm late to the party. I see a lot of people saying this is depressing, and I can understand why, but look at it from a different angle. We spend the first part of our lives just growing up, learning how to be a person in our world and how to survive on our own. If we make it that far, we then spend so much time on what is necessary for modern survival and recharging (sleeping) that many don't think about other things. This is a way of showing just how precious our time is - make sure to make the most of those jelly beans doing something important to you that you love, even if it's just sitting somewhere enjoying a beautiful day. We are here to do more than work and consume. Be sure to do it.
Some of these things can be done simultaneously however. I can facebook and shit at the same time, and I can laugh and drive as well. I enjoy my commutes, as if I'm not enjoying them with someone, I love driving and always take the back roads to work, etc. I think it is important to mention that while there is a lot of time that we spend doing less favourable things, we can still find a way to enjoy them. Share them with someone, take the fun route. Maybe it will take a couple more jelly beans to do, but at least you enjoyed them.
I'm only 12, and this really made me think, and made me realize that I shouldn't be on youtube and online all the time. Right after I post this comment, I'm going to go downstairs to my family. I'm almost a teenager, and then I'll be an adult, and now I realize that when I'm not a child anymore, I will miss it. Thank you zefrank1.
Dang it, I knew I didn't have much time in my life! - there goes another 2:45 seconds, plus the amount of time I spent writing this comment...well, at least I am happy no matter what it is I am doing. :) It's not about that time that is "wasted," it's about the quality of life we put into that amount of time. Forget about all of the things that we consider daily life and focus on your dreams. One day, you will get there. This is a great video!
I was sent this video by a friend about 5 years ago I want to say. And time after time I watch it maybe twice a year. I can’t say how much it means to me and I don’t know how to explain to myself anything anymore but when I watch it it makes me think about all the things that make me happy, friends, family, my cousin, my dog, and so much more greatness:)
Even with another day in your life you can do alot. You can change habits with a handful of those jelly beans, you can also "do nothing" which is the closest to despair as you can get unless that nothingness is intentional meditation.
'GAMERS HAVE NO LIFES!', if gamers work from home, can do activitities with friend and family that they enjoy, and go on frequent trips and hikes, drink/eat healthy and get enough vitamins, gamers actually have a better life than the average person...
I appreciate his time counting out the five hundred jellybeans + creating this video with the other guy shown in video. Thank you both. I was so close to crying the first time seeing this video. It is so authentic, I love it.
+Gandalf White Nope, I think she meant she does 92% of all the other things while being wasted and 20% of all her time she spends with friends most often while being on youtube and/or social media, often doing her homework that way and so on... the things she listed can happen at the same time ;)
i am going to live life to the fullest. i am only 12 and i do what i can every day. example i have never played basketball but tried out anyway and im getting much better. and its tight how they used the jelly beans to do this. i like jellybeans! :3 o3o
I remember watching this in highschool. From 17 to 18 years old, I worked at a mcdonalds for 6 months and struggled to keep water and electricity in a house not under my name, and Hope's of college seemed gone. Road across the country in a grey hound to find where I belong in life. Worked at my uncle's business for a month then got out. Road to Kentucky to make sure the man my mother is going to live with is a good man. After the new years in kentucky and staying there for some time and realizing I've hit a crossroads, I joined the military. 4 and a half years later I comepleted my contract and now here in a couple months I'll be hiking for 6 months.
MY MAN, FRANK. I watched your vids when I was literally 12, now I'm 21... This video really opened my mind. Thank you for this. It just sucks I was too young to really understand it entirely. But I did a little. So amazing how good the content was back then.
Just a different point of view I saw in Reddit. "Live every day like its your last" Seriously, that is complete and utter bullshit. I understand the sentiment, but society would completely collapse if everyone did this. Think I would go to work if it was my last day? Or save for my future? Not a chance. I could probably survive for about 2 weeks living every day like my last, before I was homeless and looking for work With this said I think a better phrase would be "Make the most of every day"
I think that says more about you if you see "live every day like it's your last" and it becomes "chaos". I see "mend every relationship and strengthen important ones".
Few people deserve what they have. This man deserves all the attention and fame he gets. Not all minds should be cherished, but let's be honest this is definitely one of them
