We also want to hear from YOU!! What are your top tips on how to be a better person, how to create happiness, to support others, to make the most of your life and that of those around you?? Comment below and let's start the conversation there.

Being older than all of you, I suggest: 1. Don't waste time. Once gone, you can't make it back. Do it now. 2. Take care of your health. Quality of life is more important than longevity for its own sake. 3. Keep learning and challenging yourself. You're never too old to learn something new or see things differently. 4. Have fun. You're only young once, but you can be immature forever. Right, Gavin? 5. Enjoy the journey because we all have the same destination.

John Drummond yes!

@@nannerlchanel5045 I was referring being older than Greg & the F4 crew. I'm 66 in case you're wondering.

@gregsnell 4 года назад

Amazing comment and insights John!! Thanks for sharing mate.

@angusgibbins4954 Год назад

1. Don't waste time. Once gone, you can't make it back. Do it now. If I've learnt anything during this pandemic it's that.

@keoni37 4 года назад

In my 73 years I learned: Be kind to others Pay it forward Never stop learning and helping others Have fun at what you do Set and meet a goal every day And as someone else said "enjoy the joyrney" as it is the only one you'll have. Really enjoyed meeting all of you at Cape D as I have been following the F4 group as individuals before they got together. Enjoyed meeting and talking with you Greg, I was the one to the right of your tripod with the big 400mm f4 lens. I see you are at Valley of Fire, love that place. Glad I just found your channel to follow your adventures.

@anthonylamb979 4 года назад

To quote a great man - "Man sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived"

This is my all time favourite RU-vid video ever. I watch it on a weekly basis. Thank you folks for making it.

@NigelDanson 4 года назад

An excellent video Greg and really wise advice from everyone. And well done for having a shallow DOF on that arse.

@gregsnell 4 года назад

Cheers dude. 🙏

Bill & Ted said it best: "Be excellent to each other, and party on dudes!". LOL @Nick's segment.

@ocskaym 4 года назад

I really agree with Adam. One cannot and will never have enough. We should seek for improvement, but at the same time we also need to appreciate and be thankful for what we have.

@galensinkey 3 года назад

I watched this early in 2020 and just now watched it again, 10-1-2020. What timely advice for a year like this. Be your own person, Be kind, Do what you say you're going to do, Seek the interest of others, not just yourself, take today for what it is and make the most of it. Great content. Totally enjoying all the F4 content & coursework. So many laughs, but still a great value. Great job all of ya.

@timgriffin5827 3 года назад

Be passionate with compassion! Love the F4 Road trip series and just realized I was in the valley at the same time. Now I have to go back and check all of my images for sun flare that looks strangely like a midday full moon. Lol

@hunterwickes1502 4 года назад

Top tip not to suck - LISTEN! If you listen, you will find out how everyone around you likes to be treated, what motivates them and what inspires them. Everybody is different, so don't assume, listen.

@markattardo 4 года назад

Be honest, accept responsibility for your actions. Great video Greg.

@JSRVisions 4 года назад

I have be fortunate to make my living for 33 years doing photography. There have been some poor times and rich time, but there have never been a bad time when I've been out shooting. Enjoy what you are doing, and if you can, make it your living. From that day forward, you will always be happy (Mostly). ;-). That was a really full moon behind Nick.

@NellieWinter 4 года назад

I think this is a GENIOUS video idea Greg, loved it!! 😊 So how not to suck... be different, don't be selfish, live in the moment, be passionate and...play disc golf, right? My advice is to be open to change, travel, get out there and keep an open mind. Learn about other cultures, languages - no matter how strange they may seem to you - and you'll end up learning a lot about yourself. Exited to see you soon guapo 😘

@scottman895 4 года назад

This is such a great video! One tip I have to not suck at life is that you should always be yourself and do what makes you happy. When you do both of those things, the best of you will always come out. It is very simplistic but just as important as all the other tips mentioned. I am looking forward to your upcoming videos back in Europe and in Spain! I've seen Nellie's recent videos, and it looks amazing!

@paulcomptonpdphotography 4 года назад

Wow I am sharing this video 100% what an amazing video I think maybe the best I have watched for a long long time. All the F4 guys advice has really hit a nerve for me. I feel I have to grow so much and become a better person for me and all around me. Thanks for this it's a total refresher.

@craigrichards5621 4 года назад

I think it’s important to follow your passion in life. I always ask new people I meet what there passion is rather than what there job is. I also try to do one random act of kindness every day because you never know what sort of day someone is having, or what they are going through and that one little thing you do to help them might be just what they needed to remind them that someone dose care about them

@brendaloeb1357 4 года назад

Absolutely loved this video! Thank you!!! No words of wisdom at the moment, but I’ll think on it :).

@matureandsingle 4 года назад

Greg Volpi doobie, got it👌 fr good advice tho.

@shotbycooper4467 4 года назад

Great video Greg. 👍 How not to suck: 1. Be Polite and Respectful. 2. Make friends, not enemies. 3. Life is short. So enjoy every single moment. 4. Take great photos. 5. Don't be a dick. There's more than enough in the world already.

@ngrabowskiphoto 4 года назад

Be nice, always do your best, give not take, enjoy what you have, be good for yourself and be happy. Seems like obvious but we tend to forget about all of it. Other thing about this video is that you showed this guy's in a completely different light. If you take away how great photographers they are, they seems to be just bunch of good people.

@allanduff7234 4 года назад

The greatest satisfaction and joy in life will be helping others without any expectation of recognition or return. Just the personal feeling that we made someone else’s life a little better.

@PointBlankZA 4 года назад

In South Africa, we have a saying, "don't be a poes, be lekker...". Loosley translated, don't be a dick, be a nice person (excuse the profanity). Being approachable, humble and nice will open the door to like-minded people who are willing to impart their knowledge and experience onto those willing and open to receive it. You will grow leaps and bounds and people will sit up and notice you. Being the opposite and full of yourself, thinking you know everything and it's all about you will see those doors slammed loudly in your face and backs turn when you walk into the room.

@adamISO200 4 года назад

Great video. Good fun to watch and some great messages to digest! Thanks Greg and the F4!

@bigbrownmab189 4 года назад

Id saying, finding gratitude/enjoying the small things in life. Think about it, here today/gone tomorrow. Everyday you wake is a day you can't complain. And try to make 1 random person smile each day, you never know who has it rough in life and the peace it can bring to there day.

@ianbritton7534 4 года назад

Everyone notices the happy man. Smile and wave boys, smile and wave.

@SelmanJulian 4 года назад

This is an excellent subject for a video on photography. Refining technique, gear, trends, dos and don'ts are all very well, but connecting what we do up with our values, principles and philosophies is really what makes the biggest difference.

@PaulFaracePhotography 4 года назад

Great words all around, very much enjoyed this one. Cheers guys!

@robertemunds7750 4 года назад

Great video, nice topic. My nugget - take care of those you love - seeing their happiness is reward enough for me. And go out and take pictures every once in a while.

@jasonkennedy2045 4 года назад

Great vlog. Outstanding advice... for me, I’m old so my go to advice, be genuine, realise your goals, don’t ever compromise but always keep an eye on today. Know your priorities... mine = money, family (I know!!) and challenges!! Don’t chase ideas or dreams. Anyyyyyyway..! Cheers Jase Life is THE journey and NEVER the destination!!! 1 life, Live it!

@tenminutetokyo2643 4 года назад

Dont follow the trend, be the trend.

@ErikSpaan 4 года назад

Great advice on life from the guys and yourself Greg (e.g. democratic socialism sounds good). Also great advices below in the comments section. Live now and find out what you are really passionate about and pursue that, whatever it may be. Don't be afraid to throw things around, even when you are already past midlife :-)

@LynneLuxonJonesphotography 4 года назад

So glad I found your channel Greg 👍 Live for today as tomorrow never comes ,laugh often, love hard ,keep smiling & don't let the bar******s grind you down....1 life so live it . Words I try to live by ...& don't be afraid to be different 😁

@theresashoemaker8353 4 года назад

Great video. Being grateful is key- even for the smallest of things.

@penbphotography 4 года назад

The words F4 made me watch your vlog and im glad, I did subscribed and 👍. As for top tips I agree with all. I hit 40 last year and I have been a general photographer for meany years and as a job its not bad. But I was not photographing what I was passionate about, now I mack time and that part of my Photography is very much a hobby but I am happy. I also found photos I did when I was 12 and they are terrible but it is very obvious I have wanted to be an outdoor photographer for almost 30 years. Don't tack as long as me to figure it out😳

@richardhunt920 4 года назад

THANKS .

@angusgibbins4954 Год назад

This is the first time I've seen this and it's funny because Adam Gibbs talks about the experience so fondly and they've all done those jokey, bitter videos so well for the past 2 years I've half wondered if they actually did legitimately fall out.

@deebart9230 4 года назад

I was sooo hoping that Gavin would pull a moonie and he delivered ! Haha!

@nickbristol3457 4 года назад

Great job with this, Greg! Enjoyed watching it! Do what you love and be nice!

@kawiemer 4 года назад

I think Gavin is parking bicycles in the background. Best advice not mentioned yet, no matter what you do, be the best you can be at it. That being said, regardless of location, be it on stage in front of a large crowd, or in a more intimate, small gathering...never think you know more than, or are better than everyone else there. Be humble, everyday is a school day.

@JohnPaul-ii 4 года назад

I hope you’re getting well paid to put up with this bunch. Should charge extra rate for the winging. Great 👍 B-roll, as usual. Thanks for sharing Greg.

@actiaint 4 года назад

Actually your message at the end resonated with me and Spain is a dream destination for me so I am subbed. Thanks.

@markburton3306 4 года назад

I always try to learn from everybody whom I meet.

@hramakrishnaiah413 4 года назад

I would rather be poor and happy than being rich and miserable.... fabulous Nick! This is the takehome for me. To me, the test of character is "to be accommodative and being good to individuals who have divergent views. I think this the real greatness of an individual.

@Biscuit761YT 4 года назад

One of the first - amazing. Nice set of opinions Greg.

@thomasdamore4653 4 года назад

Ensure you take time to listen. You learn so much more that way. Never be afraid to be you.

@Jeff-jg7jh 4 года назад

Again, Gavins little speech is so good. Everything your dad told you(if you knew who your dad was). Obviously, Gavin was raised well.

@PeterLariviere1 4 года назад

Its goes without saying that your filming and editing skills are masterful...but I think that your ability to get 4 very different people to open up to you and answer the question in an honest way shows your skill as a person who listens...and your comment about capitalism...wow, I new I liked your filming skills but I think we could have a beer and agree on a lot of societal issues or at least have a good conversation.

@gregsnell 4 года назад

Hell Yeah!!

@ChristineWilsonPhotography 4 года назад

Loved the video, looking forward to to more f4 antics , great idea that you all teamed up for this , my advice , never think you know it all, because you don't! Always be willing to learn 😉 otherwise you just close your self off to All sorts of gems. Don't sweat the small stuff , being a bit older - life is short , way to short so get out and live it , and be nice , you'll get way more out of life .

@Caroda_band 4 года назад

Laugh and smile. The sense of euphoria is all encompassing :) Try to live YOUR life and not the one others want you to live.

@jakelindsay6251 4 года назад

Excellent video. Can't wait for the series. You should ask your girlfriends' parents what they think of "Democratic Socialism" and where that road inevitably leads.

@charly5086 4 года назад

OMG ... suffering through bronchitis, can't breathe without coughing. Gavin nearly caused my death, lol!

@JohnMayfield-NS 4 года назад

For me "how not to suck" in life is just have fun. Enjoy everything you can, laugh lots. There'll be enough BS along the way to cause stress and worry. For photography? Much of the same. It's something you should enjoy, if you don't you're putting too much pressure on yourself. Not saying there won't be stress and pressure, there will be, but find ways to make things fun.

@chrishanika9002 4 года назад

I'm a new follower to this channel. I'm glad I stumbled across it. It's becoming one of my favorite to watch. Also the crews individual channels as well. Keep up the great work everyone. My advise to not suck in life is to be true to yourself, follow your dreams, work hard, anddont let anyone tell you that you cannot achieve your goals. Take care Chris Hanika

@mikeanderson9957 4 года назад

Dude....love the stache....you look like a 1970s Chicago Police Officer. My advice would be to just do it. I made a choice awhile back to follow my passion and as scary as it was it has been the best thing for me. And if you are not getting support....go find those that will.

@Elysianplains 4 года назад

@Kenmandyhaley 4 года назад

I especially liked Adam’s comment about not dwelling on the past as you can’t change it. I’d also add, to treat others as you yourself would wish to be treated.

@TheycallmeWade 4 года назад

I’ve had a few ups and downs in life, a few near misses and A few conditions which are life altering. I have been the workaholic I’ve been the yes man and I’m still the nice guy sucker that will get used. In these times I’ve thought of a few mottos 1. The sooner you realise we’re dying the quicker you will start to live. (May sound morbid, but it’s the reality) 2. With knowledge comes understanding with understanding comes acceptance with acceptance comes peace for us all. I’m still underway to making my first RU-vid video from your last video, thanks for the information and insight from the others. Still working on what to say hahaha

@andrewhooton 4 года назад

Joel Roque peter is way too cool for that shit. I dont know who hes referring to its a million dollar question for me too.

@ChrisKoehn 4 года назад

I agree, you're in charge of your life. For the most part this is true. If you want to do something, you need to start doing it. It might not all go according to plan but at least you'll be ready to capitalize when opportunities arise. You can't do this if you're sitting on the couch or the computer chair all the time wishing that you had something going on.

@BrentHall 4 года назад

Yeah...but what does Nellie think of that stash?!? Great stuff in here man!

Be Positive! Enjoy life and look forward to the next adventure. As Thomas always says, get out with your camera whatever the weather and enjoy Life’s Journey.

@peteetheridge82 4 года назад

All great advice. But if I can offer one nugget, a bit like Tom says (and you allude to Greg!): "Give More Than You Take". If I can end my life feeling that I have given more than I take, I will be a happy man.

Interresting points of view Greg, nice epic look at the hidden side of the moon at 12:44. I would add, perhaps to complete what said Thomas : think of the others, and your family, family can give us (and we can give it so much)

@thomaspopple2291 4 года назад

Be open to change. Whether in friendship, photography, or regular life be open and available for life to happen. Like John Lennon says in a song. Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans. Let life happen

My top tip is; Don't be Selfish. Givers gain, in the end. The arc may be long but it is inexorable.

@Jeff-jg7jh 4 года назад

Actually I'm not a believer in that, but I'm going to give it a shot. I'll probably be wrong. I like the tip that it may be long.

@andreasschaefer8613 4 года назад

Biodiversity is life quality So be tolerant and don't judge other people without intimate knowledgement. Don't always talk and think about the other, think and talk about yourself and go in relationship to your environment, because you need this relation to find and get yourself. Me gets me by you! (it's free translatet from a sentence of Martin Buber)
