Same guy. I've been learning like him, just not 12 hour like that but still learn from home whenever I can, my friend laught at me because I learned so much
I think he said that, but let me reiterate. People will say ANYTHING just to make them feel better about their shitty life and they don't care that they're putting someone else down with them
@@tinpham6413 if you're young, you just wait. You're gonna get to college and thank yourself for doing good at school and learning so much, you're gonna look back to your friends and look down on them, you're gonna be independent someday. Just be patient, it's all gonna pass my friend.
i wish i met him earlier kinda fuckd up my life tbh , preparing for govt exams , whts up with ur life since u have known him for three years ??? u doing good ??
I'm an Indian high school student and I can wholeheartedly relate to what he said. There's no other alternative to getting to college for me or the other 1.5 million students writing the same college entrance exam as me. The reason I support him so much is that he gets what real struggle means and that's amazing.
I'm a very introverted person, but seeing this guy put in this much efforts to connect himself more with people who misunderstand him makes me want to tell this story. So just like a lot of other people, I was watching yt, scrolling through random videos and I came across his channel ( like 2-3 months ago) In the first phase, I always watched him sit and do his stuff for like half an hour and I would just leave. I had zero motivation and stuff. I would just pass my days like this while having zero motivation, and wasting all of my time. Even though I didn't sub to his channel, his live would still pop up on my yt feed. So just like any other day, I was watching him do his work but that day, this dude had an exam. Here comes the *LEGENDARY* (at least for me) part. So it was break time according to the stream but he was in the middle of the exam. I thought that he won't talk in that break but guess what, dude was talking with chat during the break. So everyone started asking him, if the paper was easy and stuff, and he said "yeh pretty easy, finished 75% of the test already" even when it had only been like 20-30 mins. This THIS goddamn became a wake up call. When I saw this I felt like, bruh I also wanna do this. I wanna reach that level too. See, in the end HE IS A HUMAN and I am one too. If he can do it, why can't I? That's what came into my mind. Seeing how he was so chill during his exam, even having time to read the chat and stuff. I felt so prickled by that, so jealous. I did not take that jealousy to start hating him, I took that jealousy to start working and push myself towards being productive because I wanted to be like that too. I started watching his stream after that, I couldn't sit for more than 3/4 sessions (whereas I was able to study for like 4 hours straight without any breaks before the pandemic, i.e. like 1 yr ago.) I introspected so much as to how much this online lifestyle ruined everything and the one to blame for it was ONLY me because it is not like everyone became like this, no. There were people who still did what they wanted to do everyday, just like James. That's why I hold myself responsible for being this way. I was so god damn distracted, even if I sat and studied for like 3/4 sessions, I still remained so distracted. I had to clap every now and then, to regain my concentration. With time, I gradually started studying with more concentration and for more hours. I also look forward to 10 hours of study everyday! So from this story, all I wanna say is even if you're jealous of the fact that you aren't as capable or as focused as he is with his life and goals, that doesn't mean you have to dislike the video and spread hate, you can take motivation from him and push yourself forward or you can think that I wanna beat this guy and be more productive than he is! That's all. Thank you James! Hwaiting! :)
He inspires me so much. I'm 19 and I've wasted my whole life on watching random videos that bring no value into my life, that lead to me being extremly undisciplined, unmotivated and a whole lot of regret and selfhate. I have at the moment the attention span of a fu**ing squirell, and I can only blame myself for it. But seeing him made want to change so bad, I want to be like him.
Bro im 18 and after watching his video on how ot study 12hrs a day, i changed. from studying 4hrs a day, i studied 6 and after 2 weeks (i went through horrble days when i reverted back to my old schedule) but now im studying 11 hrs a day!!!
I'm 29 years old with ADHD. I have the hardest time concentrating on anything other than physical labor. To see you putting so much effort and actually following through eith your goals is inspiring.

hi james. I’m a 21year old college student living in south korea. As you may konw, korean men are oblilgated to attend the military for two years. I was also in the military and returned to college after i was discharged. Actually, while studying, i didn’t know why i should study. Then one day, I saw the video you are studying by the youtube algorithm. Although we have different countries, ages, and backgrounds from which we have lived, I was motivated to see you working hard for your own life. I read all the advice you gave and the books you recommended in the video. And it helped me a lot. Thank you for making me motivated for life and making me live hard. I don’t live as hard as you yet, but i’m working hard now. As you said, you’ll definitely buy a nice house for your mom, you’ll be a good dad, and you’ll be a good computer engineer helping people in need. Finally, thank you for uploading a good video and i pray that you are always healthy and full of good things in your life. Bye~
Seriously people are just jealous and start hating him with all there insecurities, james you are a hero for us, yuh have shown us the impossibility and made it possible. We are all so grateful for your existence🥰
@@nonconformist36Are you saying he doesn't want fans, either? I said haters because it seems completely unwarranted, but fans would come naturally if you're Internet famous.

"We're inmensely depressed, we're on our screens all day, we watch tiktok all day, we play videogames all day; we have no light that shines, and choses what to do."-James Scholz
@@ravijangraxx tbh it depends on how we use it, everything has good and bad side to it. e.g video game is an inspiration to a lot of people and it gives them a job or a dream to pursue. Imo, what James is trying to say is you have to work hard for your goal and dream not studying for 12 hours is the only "good" way.
we live in a time where someone has to explain themself on why they are working so hard to achieve their goals because of some jealous people out there who don't have a life. it's extremely pathetic
bro, thank you! i was starting to think that it was something wrong with me for wanting to work hard to achieve my dreams. the fuck is wrong with these people?
Considering the world got fucked up by making a great competitive pit when people eat each other to trying to keep themselves a float, I think is obvious why people critize the system.
22 years old college student right here. My dad is an alcoholic and since the day I was born, my mom had been struggling with all the problems that my dad brought to my family. Moving to the states when I was 19, I found a job and started working hard as much as I could. I bought my mom a car, some beautiful bags, and stuffs that she deserves to have. I'm still trying to buy her a house and I believe working hard can help people to get what they want. I believe in you, James. People cry not because they are weak so don't say sorry. Also, I want to thank your mom for not giving up and for raising you into a good person that you are today.
You're such an amazing person and your mom did a great job raising you! I totally agree his mom is awesome! You keep going and thanks for sharing your story!
You're worth it, no matter who told or still tell you otherwise. Keep pushing forward you can do it. Pushing for the best and letting your mom be proud of you it's the best thing you can do for her. You're awesome, James is awesome. All of you people who work hard for your goals are worthy enough to admire. Thanks for sharing, you can do this. Stay strong.
Stop judging your Father through your mothers eyes. He needs to overcome his mother, and he married your mom who reminds him of his mom and probably tries to control him. That’s probably why he drinks.
@@sidd6803 Middle Class is a myth. There are the elites and there is the working class. The elites are those who either own the means of productions and can work for only a couple hours a day while their means are managed by managers, or people of rich parents who also don't have to work hard at all because they have a huge safety het\pillow of savings, real estate, stocks, etc. The working class, on the other hand, is comprised of people who depend on work to sustain themselves.
I am a really big procrastinator and after watching this, I studied 2 hrs straight for the 1st time in years, I wud like to come up to 10 hrs like this guy
I'm 31 years old and for many years I could not sit down and study. As a result I did not graduate from college and I'm stuck working in a front line support job. Recently I have researched pamodoro and also have been watching your videos. For the past 3 weeks I have been very consistent in studying. I hope to continue to make this a habit but you where definitely an inspiration. Hopefully I can complete my education and become a great person the way I always dreamed and imagined myself to be. Thanks for the content man keep up the excellent work.
@@jinfin221 I'm currently studying a coding language, python. If I complete the course successfully I will go back to university and begin taking classes again.
im a 38 year old guy struggling with motivation after losing my whole career to covid. father of a 13 year old, and im trully inspired by you. My father left me before i was born and i know how that can make a bitter grown up out of you. i got very emotional watching this video. thank you
you don’t even need to have a child to feel like father, the way you speak about ‘raising other people’ and guiding them to their potential is just the father figure you are walking into, so inspiring. i hope you heart stays gentle x
Man, keep doing what you do. I bumped into your channel yesterday and I’m completely speechless. You’re literally coming to conclusions that I consider KEY (like the father issue) at your age. That took me 27 years to be able to organize it and express it with words. You’re going to be BIG and what makes me more excited about saying this is the fact that you are genuine and kind. Keep sharing your journey. Big hugs from Finland!
James - when I saw your "how I sutdy 12 hours a day" video, the first thing I did before watching it was check your channel. When I saw that you've been livestreaming this every day for a year, I went back to the video and watched it all. Whilst it's motivating to see you do this, it's also something else: it's you proving that you can do it. That's what was far more effective. You didn't just make a video on how you studied for 12 hours, you have literally been at this day-by-day for a whole year, you've got proof of work right here documented on this channel. Everyone will warn you about burnout, and it's a good warning. But ultimately, you know what's going through your head more so than a stranger in a comment section. If you're able to keep doing what you're doing, then don't let others who don't know you sway you the other way. Everybody's different. Best of luck with hitting those goals man, you deserve it 🙏
I am 33 years old ... I used to ask myself why this young man has this strong will and patience ... This inspired me if you can deprive yourself of playing and having fun while you are of this age .. It inspired me not to grieve over the period of my youth that was lost, my university, my future, and the engineering that I studied Of them, 3 years out of 5, and I did not graduate due to the war in Syria ... Now I am a refugee in Luxembourg, married and have three children..and I study French and Luxembourgish ... I feel that I am back a student at the university ... I am interested in the young man who studies for long hours. I was able to study from 3 to 6 hours ... taking care of my family and my child in kindergarten ... and living in two very small rooms ... 20 meters per room ... Thank you my friend ... You are on the right path ... if you fail You did not waste your youth in the stupidity of today's youth .. I wish you success 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I love how all his 3 goals are actually not for his own desire but actually goes deep than that as to make his mother happy and be better father and help other, his working really hard for those decent goals I'm speechless this is incredible
@@Nikolai-ve1gt no he was raised by a single mother like he said in this video he dreams to be a good and a great father and be an inspiration to his kids
James is such a beautiful person inside and out. Thoughtful, smart, kind, hard working... whenever I listen to him speak, there's a sense of warmth coming from him. Definitely inspires me to cultivate and nurture these qualities in my own character
“Sorry for crying you guys” don’t say that ever again. It shows how bright the flame in your heart is and that is inspiring Edit- wtf 1k likes in a day?? Also James, you’re my role model. I love you. You inspire me. I see a lot of myself in you.
@@haibui9783 What he conveys is he’s vulnerable and he feels sorry for crying, that’s it. He doesn’t want people to see him pretending to be strong. He wants people to see him crying and says sorry. If he cuts the part of crying and saying sorry then it’d be a different meaning.
12:59 Thank you James for this statement. I often see teenagers in western countries enjoying their life with great amount of privilege. Here in India most of the teenagers know nothing other then studies. The parents and environment is all set to make them slaves of their studies and then jobs. It's now common to see students collapsing because they were not slept and just doing their studies. Also their life is way harder then western students, they don't have facilities to study. They learn, get degrees, roam here and there for jobs and finally get into tech assembling factories, assembling i phones and stuff 12 hours a day for another country. So, yeah to my western friend: when ever you see an Asian celebrating his countrymen's achievement pls don't think they are flexing, they are just happy for his hardwork and sacrifices.🙏
Not to mention how a study life balance is not respected in India. Dating already is a big taboo, going out in moderation too is smth our parents hate, i mean some independence would make us more responsible for our studies contrary to our orthodox parents' beliefs.
@@aamishazeem3770 our religious believes are preserved and a point of proud for us but it is unfair when it comes in between of success and happy life. I agree with you.
please stop generalising every person in India or even in Asia as a matter of fact, i get it, it's hard but yeah do something about it don't expect society to change
Tbh hate comes from 2 ideas. 1 is well... people are bored and bitter. The other is trying to call out supposed virtue signaling when in truth this guy is just having fun to me. Honestly the people in the comments section are either: snobby, arrogant, supportive, hateful or bitter.
@@somepenguin508 no it is a virtue signal to make money from youtube and its working. People are desperate for self help gurus. And he knows this and cashes in manipulatively
@@gingfreecss3467 then do not watch his videos. U can’t argue about this shit. And he seems genuine to me and a lot of ppl and if he does end up helping a lot of ppl how does it matter to u? And I mean it is not wrong to earn money from RU-vid . He works hard for whatever money he gets. U did not have to post this comment. There r channels like that which u talk about but if u can tell apart from who is genuine and who is not then u can just not watch those videos. Do u rlly spend ur time telling ppl in the comments to not watch his videos cuz of ur own beliefs which do not seem to have any credibility according to me. Just saying
@@wellwhatever4518 because he intentionally exaggerates the hours to make it look impressive. Real genuine advice would be 1 hour daily max consistently and still getting laid with hot girls etc
You're still not getting it. It's not about your parents. It's about you the individual. No one builds you or breaks you. That's pure bs to blame others for yo averageness
This man is smart. He's angry and passionate about many things, and these many things overwhelm him. But he organized himself and saw a path past that and committed to that. What confirmed this for me was that not only did he cry because of his past, but because he understood and accepted his inability to be able to be that light. And because of this, he became a light even if he didn't realize it. What a guy.
@Shimmy Shai you can always expand your knowledge in many ways, unless of course you have severe learning difficulties. It just takes discipline, concentration, and consistency.
@Shimmy Shai you need output what you read/study/see to really learn... if you keep just inputting things in your head, you will keep forgeting. output things is really discomfortable, but it's the best way to learn things and know what you really don't know and need to focus to learn a concept. feynman technique is one of the most discomfortable way to learn, but one of the fastest and effective way to learn... if you put your soul in do it. Information we have everywhere, what will make you smart is the quality of your output.
@Shimmy Shai you need to process each concept from the book and output it. you don't need to remember every word in how it was written. one concept can be shown in innumerous ways. The book is only there to help you understand some concepts, if you can't understand from the book, you need to do some research to understand until you can explain it (output it)
@Shimmy Shai I would recommend active recall. You don’t need to memorise a whole textbook to do well in an exam. What you have to do is be able to apply your knowledge to an exam question. I would recommend starting off with a question, build your knowledge around that and then answer the question at the end of your study session with no help. Repeat this. If you don’t continuously recall the knowledge you will forget it.
Remember this...People love praising outcomes instead of the process it takes to achieve them. People love big houses and shiny things, but forget the gut wrenching work it takes to acquire them. Right now what people see in you is that gut wrenching work, that gritty work ethic and it makes them sick to their stomach because they can't see themselves working that hard. People are used to being average and even below average, so when they see someone like you being so far above average it scares the living crap out of them so they begin to criticize instead of praise you for your grit. You keep that grit up. "Can't Hurt Me".
Gary Vee is not what he shows. He does "hustle" and work hard but he careless next to none for his employees. They all complain about his behaviour and bad work environment. Hustle isn't everything and the hustle culture is very damaging.
Do you think that makes him happy? He said that he was a recluse earlier, that people make fun of him etc. I bet he'd exchange 12h/day studying for a pack of friends, but he can't get that. So he convinced himself that studying will get him there. But he will end up as a clog in the machine anyway and no amount of programming knowledge or money will change that.
Your last video hit me so hard. I was on acid when I watched it, and it gave me the most intense wake up call of my life. Thank you for inspiring people that want to inspire others themselves!
@@spam9826 I don't ask for empathy from strangers on the internet. What do u think u are to him but 1 subscriber :)) also, I don't cry because of stupid shit as he did. Maybe that what he gets from "study" 12 hours a day, a weak soul.
As a university student, I honestly respect James so much. I’ve tried doing studying for more than 8 hours a day but I couldn’t keep up. The fact that he did it for 12 hours a day for a year is absolutely inspiring
@Shimmy Shai this, I respect this dude but different people have different methods. Not everyone functions the same so like we all are working hard in our own ways
No worries if you can only manage 8 hours a day, we all go at our own pace and James advocates that too. He and you too are inspiring and working towards your goals and that's what matters! Keep it up!
@Shimmy Shai To answer your question, both will obtain their goals. It isn't about the time put into studying, it's about the effort and focus it takes you to retain the information you are learning. We all learn at varying lengths and even different subject matter require varying times. For example, it does not take me long at all to study history or English grammar but mathematics is a different matter because I don't grasp maths as easily. Also, we all have different learning styles or ways in which we learn best, some learn better by listening to lectures, while others learn better by reading books, others have to do something active like pace as they review notes. What matters is finding what works best for you, it isn't about how long you spend studying. Also, studying isn't about competition, it's about what you get out of each study session. You put in the effort and take as much or as little time as you need. As an educator, I have seen some students hardly open a book yet retain the info while other students have to put in long hours. Just find what works best for you.
I feel so identified with this guy. I used to study 5 to 6 hours and I dropped out because I burned out. I always wanted to give my max, but my head got in the way of doing more. As a result, I got unmotivated af. If you want to do something, just go and do it. Inspire yourself to be better than YOU and don’t let yourself be your worst enemy. Find your balance, and enjoy your life. This dude is nothing but an inspiration to a lot of people.
@@aGenericBanana it might sound cliché, but that’s your story to discover. I was a drummer back in the day, and I pushed as hard as I could for 3 years. However, you have to find why you want to do what you do, and what you want to become in the future, and stick to your beliefs. In my case, I was arrogant and pursued success with a selfish mindset. (Im working on that everyday) Find what you like, what you enjoy doing without anyone asking you to do it, and never forget the why. Also, try to always give your best, but also balance yourself with a healthy lifestyle so you don’t burn out like I did
true bro i also got burned out and unmotivated due to 5 hr of study... i understand that i was forcing myself to study which is not good , we should find the inner meaning of what we should do..
Well he is right , i have all 12 years of studies and bcz i didn't take the final exam i didn't have any chance to go to the college. A lot of studens well more adults try again and again to pass that exam. Somehow if u have it and go to the collage is still a posibility to don't have the best job, but the average. But to bad if u don't have it , all life will be hard. That is happen in Romania. Right now one of the last chance was to go to a post secondary school for nursing who wasn't ask for that exam just the money. Some post secondary school ask for that exam so is not that easy as u can think.
Honestly my parents push me a lot to work harder, so if your parents keep on reminding you that you have to study than one of the main goals of the day for you is to study lol
@@transjiro1735 I mean I was kinda kidding, but i kind of wasnt. By voluntarily undergoing hardships and discomfort, you might, if you want to, develop a certain liking to it. Ye just read that book recommended above lmao.
I'm 25 and I have done well in my life, finished school, saved up money but I feel like I haven't lived up to my full potential and I was about to quit and start pursuing pleasure, I grew up without a mom and dad. You inspire me to keep working and growing, thank you for being the person you are.
Thank you, James. This is my go-to video whenever I'm not productive. I'm from a third world country, and I want my parents to live as easy as possible in their elder years. They never had a rest in their life and I want to be exceptional in my field of engineering. I can't thank you enough, James.
Hey James I just wanted to come here real quick and tell you that I used to study with you thru your 12 hour long videos and I was preparing for my mcat during the pandemic and now finally I am in a Med school I never thought I would be able to make it but I did so thank you for motivating me 💗
Hi James, I'm also a kid raised by a single Vietnamese mother and having you as a role model has really helped me. Mental illness and other factors have come in my way of being disciplined throughout high school, but your videos have made me try harder to improve myself because seeing someone else do it means that i can, too :) i think that you're a kind and admirable person who has a lot of self-awareness and humility; those are qualities that I want to embody too. The community that you have created through studying is so amazing and to me is a safe space where I feel like people actually believe in each other and want each other to succeed. i know that you will go far and achieve your goals. thank you for being you!!
Im from Africa. Yes, we are in no position to afford to lose, or dream. We need hardwork, to get a job. We don't have a choice. We can't move out cause it cost money. People are so bad at understanding others plight.
I totally agree with you, there is so many difference between not just different countries but villages within each country. Not everyone can afford to slack off in school or play video games all day, they must work hard, or otherwise at the end of the day they will have nothing for their family and themselves. I wish you all the best in your studies!
Don't generalize please. I'm Nigerian and it's not like this for me. I definitely have choices, and I'm not rich by any means. My family isn't rich either. I could definitely move out if I got a job.
You're such a special soul, James. You've lighten a little spark on me to do better. I also have set big goals for me, but for many reasons as self depreciation, depression and anxiety I've stagnated myself for a long time. But I am willing to be a better person for me specially. It's hard living in my skin sometimes and I wanna change that. I love you. Thank you for this. God bless your family and your future!
The part where he pointed out that the people who watch his videos are mostly minorities whose only shots at living good lives is getting good grades increased my respect for him. Not everyone is privileged enough to rely on AP classes and a GPA which you can improve even if you've messed up. We dont get to do projects that require stand alone thinking. In the end it boils down to how much you can memorize, and it's not an easy task if all of your textbooks are 1500 pages. So, if you feel like 12 hours is too much, then I'm glad that you're able to achieve your goals in a lesser time period. But you have to be in place of privilege if you get to prioritise your social life over your education.
I understand your situation. Money is one of the most essential thing to me. My father is a fish vendor in the Philippines, I have four siblings that are younger than me. That's why I've tried my best to do great in school, and be persistent in commiting my goals because that's the only thing that will save us from poverty. I felt so sad when the privilege individuals are degrading and making fun to the productivity of the other people, they don't understand us. I support u bro 👊 keep reaching for your dreams.
As someone who has walked a familiar path (computer science), I absolutely understand your perspective. And I agree with you, money is very important to achieving many goals. But at the same time, as someone older(30) and wiser, I've learned that doing something merely for money will bring a mediocre life. I really urge you to keep searching for something that truly gives you a reason to live. Don't be afraid to get on a new path. Sadly, I don't think I've found that for myself. Hence, I'm still in the software engineering industry. Which is fine, as long as it is an means to an end, not the end itself.
اهلا ويليام انا عمري ٣٣ واعمل في عمل متواضع وكان شغفي منذ الصغر هو التقنيه والجامعه والكمبيوتر ولاكن لم اذهب الى الجامعه بسبب المال والان بعد ان جمعت المال والعائله اكملت الجامعه وانا في السنه الاخيره من الجامعه وسوف اواصل ذلك الشغف في الدراسه ومجال الكمبيوتر واذهب لعمل جيد
@@wai4171 Right, that's what i'm saying. Money should be a means to an end, not the end. It is okay to pursue money, but don't make THAT the goal. I a lot of people make money just so they can have more things. Things don't make people happy. Using that money to help others does.
Everyone should take into account that the more hours you study per day doesn't always give you a good result. This is something subjective, as James has mentioned, it is something that cannot be quantified. So each person has their own study style, maybe for James studying 12 hours per day is the best, but maybe for someone else 6 hours is the optimal amount. Find your own style and stick with it.
@Eddie Jiyo Yeah, Richard Feynman was a rockstar, great teacher. I like how he viewed physics and mathematics. I think your friend is interesting, reminds me of Dirac, someone who almost didn't speak with others and spent most of his time studying and researching physics.
Yes, I'm from India and I totally relate to what you're saying. I don't know about the critics but I'll speak for most of us over here and say you have brought a great change in us. You've touched many lives. Thank you.
Yeah Indians love James.(seen every Indians in the comment section inspiring him) I want to be like him. He is an inspiration and a hardworking person. May he get everything. Kid without father or mother is really heart breaking. We cannot imagine their pain and sufferings .
As a teacher I have instructed my students to follow your videos to be motivated and to help them achieve their goals. Keep up the good work and keep on streaming. James u are helping a lot of people, to find their purpose in life.
Bro, you´re literally the definition of what every teenager that wants to do engineering wants, which is: hard worker, determined to achieve their goals. You inspire a lot of people and keep up the work!
12:59 thank you for stating this sentence, most people from the U.S and other developed countries don't understand the struggle we go through in order to feel accepted and validated as a good citizen by the society, Thanks a lot James
That's totally right, my situation is just what he described, I am from a latinoamwrican country, where there are too much alcholism, drugs, thefts, and wanna be a good person, to do something incredible No ones believes on my, but I know that with a lot of study I can get the things I want.
As someone residing in India I can attest to the fact that most students aged 16-18 do live a lifestyle quite similar to James...its quite depressing to experience it firsthand....
Yes yes!!!... this thing was in my head from fast few days...finally someone said it. I too feel guilty af for not studying like him in my 16s and now I'm in my 17s feeling i have laid behind so much that i can never ever cope up now. This is so depressinggggggg.

@@ShivamSingh-ez7uu because he wants to buy his mom a big house and help people. he knows that to help people you need to have a lot of money and power, that's why he studies hard.
As a person who used to study 12-14 hours a day and losing all my motivation after getting the first B of my life,i was heartbroken and thought that people who got better grades were just smarter than me,luckier than me and I was just one of the unlucky ones.After watching your videos I got my spark back,a version of me I’d been looking for and wanted to believe in.Thank you for everything.
Being an Indian I can totally relate to what James has said. Currently I'm preparing for a exam in which 1.6 million people appear and we have only 30,000 government seats.
My mom as the same story as you. She’s the most hard working person I have ever met. She’s the parent she never had. And I have the most beautiful life I could ask for. So I believe your children will be the proudest and will live in peace and happiness. Now, you’re already a light. For them, I’m sure you’ll be a sun.
James is so sincere and true about himself, his life, and this world even though the reality is hard to handle. Many people find it uncomfortable to face the truth or even the cruelty of life. James not only shares the reality of life but also is a light for all the subscribers.
I am from India 🇮🇳.I have graduated from college last year now working in an MNC. You are doing a great job . Just keep going and ignore anyone who is spreading negativity. You will achieve your dreams.All the best kid.
I would die for a son like him..... I'm not even pregnant or in a relationship lmao. I don't even plan on being a parent, but if I did somehow, I pray for one like him or one with a kind heart.
For people saying he is wasting his life, he is still so young and only has 2 years or whatever left of college, then he has his whole life ahead of him to do whatever he wants.
This is actually very deep. Talking about goals in life is something that really meaningful for some people. I feel you when you're crying. Not many teenager think what you think and do what you do. But all you think and do is great things. Your future self will thank you for what you're doing now, he will be proud, your mom will be proud. Much love for you
Its so heartshaking to see someone like you, that studies a lot , through pain and tears, and see, that they work so hard for a simple goals😮. And the community is jealos about it. Keep it up man, your effords will actually help to get what you deserve. I'm sure , that you will. You really inspires other to do and stude for the sake of the future (myself included❤)
Never again say "sorry for crying" if its for a legitimate cause. Keep doing what you really feels and love James. Much love and respect from Argentina.
Give this kid a Nobel Prize. Not only did he prove himself to be resilient, altruistic and dedicated...but now he has shown himself as a vulnerable person- which is INCREDIBLY hard to do, let alone on a public platform, wow...James, you are definitely a special soul. We are blessed to have you guide us through this difficult world. As someone who was diagnosed with ADHD...your videos have helped me improve my grades...you changed my entire life. Sending you a lot of love, and prayers...there will always be hate, just remember behind each hateful person, there are 10 more who are sending you love. Keep at it bro.
When i heard that you want to be a good father on your inspirational video, i guess that you are raised by your mom, not parentS. You are so BRAVE, “em trai”! You are so brave when u could show your innermost feeling on the stream, u know. And it’s priceless. I hope u stay safe and healthy while ur mom ‘s in Vietnam. You r my big inspiration. Lots of love from Sydney!
@@harish.frames He is an exceptional student. He wants to master his craft, that's why he studies a lot. He doesn't just want to start a company and make money, it's not that easy. Also his studying approach is of course, probably not perfect but he is working a hell lot more than most people ever do. Stop judging someone's hard work just ' cause you know better
Imagine if all you do is study and you die tomorrow what can happen. you died a virgin. without traveling. without eating nice things without believing in god because all you did was study all your life. What a shame :( you have to enjoy life too, you can die at any moment and having studied so much is not going to do you any good. Everything in excess is damaging . Not only are pills drugs..........
The big problem with all of this is that the world is not a meritocracy. Your success is not directly a result of how hard you work. By centering your entire life around being different and working harder than other people you’re setting yourself up for failure, whether or not you get the success you want. Believe me, I’ve been there. I’m first gen and my entire childhood I worked for college admissions. I got into a top 10 school in the US. And I got nothing from it. I felt good for a bit but it wore off. And after moving in and going to classes I realized I was not surrounded by as many smart and hard working people as I thought I would be. Many were there because of certain privileges and even people who had done a lot to get there were spending their time partying and messing around. Working hard or being talented just didn’t matter as much as it should. All of these thoughts sent me to the worst depression of my life. There’s no panacea for finding success and happiness. But “working hard” is the wrong message. I’d say to work *enough*. Find out what you need to do and don’t push yourself further. Doing so will lead to disappointment and resentment toward other people who achieved more than you despite doing less. Even if you work hard and achieve everything you set out to, you still have to live your life. And if you base that around work then it will never stop. You’ll always find another goal or something else you want which will lead to working constantly. If that’s what you want, cool. But I don’t think its noble and it’s not advisable to other people, no matter how unoffensive your motivations sound.
There are people that work like 12 hours a day and that's ok. I am not sure why not would be ok to study the same amount of time. I generally study 7 hours a day (almost half of you), but when I study like 10-12 hours I really feel proud of myself. I think is this feeling that aways make me push me further and further.
Because working generate actual and visible benefit while studying does not. When you only study, there is no proof that it helps you anything. If you are successful in your life later on, that is when it is proven
You don't have to explain anything, you are inspiring everyone who needs someone who spend time next to. It's amazing what you're doing everyday. Keep with the positive energy, and let behind all the bad words. You are making your own way to life so, we are here because we want it. I support you from ARGENTINA 🇦🇷.
wrong, so wrong. he does not explain to those haters, he is explaining it to you guys who love him to make you more love him. So naive and easy driven :))
So I'm way older than most of your audience lol. I'm 34, I work as a freelancer and I've found myself getting easily distracted during the pandemic. I started to wonder if there were any "work with me" type videos, because in normal times I often go to a co-working space and I get so much done there, so I was wondering if there was a virtual version of that. That's when I came across your channel and you've been my co-working buddy since then lol. Anyway, in my line of work I've worked with a lot of successful people. I'm talking millionaires, people who run multi-million dollar businesses, people who wear watches that cost more than my yearly salary. None of those people seem as focused or as determined as you do. If you can turn the focus you have for studying and self-improvement into focus toward your future job, you're gonna be unstoppable. You really REALLY have a bright future ahead of you dude. Keep it up.
Hi James. Hope you are doing well. Just wanted to let you know how grateful I am to have found your channel. I had my semester exams and I was completely unmotivated and stressed. I used to study with your past lives and it really felt less lonely. I have completed my exams today but I am here because I want to be like you. You're doing such a wonderful job dude. In today's hedonistic world where everyone is chasing temporary pleasures, you've set a very big example. I don't want to be like my past lazy version anymore. I want to grow and I want to taste the pain of discipline rather than that of regret. You're someone who pushed me to change my way of viewing life. Thank you so much bro. God bless you!
well that aint true, everybody has a different amount of talent. some could finish a topic in 5hrs but for others itll take 8hrs. but if you work hard enough and keep on polishing yourself, your brain will becomes more efficient and you will be able to grasp more and you will soon pass the talented ones! Talent can be built (unless we are talking about natural talent in art or something like that).
People hate on you because it makes them insecure. Because they also want to do what you do, but they don't have the discipline to do it so it is easier for them to bring you down to their level than to work their way up to yours. At the end of the day it is all about following your inner voice and doing what matters to you. Keep doing what you do!
In turkey we take an exam when we reach 12th grade and results leads us to universities by our points and if u cant go to a good collage u will not have a good carrier and job
I'm from Brazil, 21 and haven't gone to college yet because my parents don't have the money. My dad's the only one working since my mom underwent a delicate surgery next year and can't work normally anymore. I have a part-time job that barely pays me anything, but it's better than nothing. Finding a job here has been extremely tough recently and going to college has been only for privileged people, so while I don't get hired, I'm taking advantage out of free online courses to improve my curriculum. Seeing your concern was really touching, you're a down to Earth and humble guy. Congrats. God bless you.
I honestly have so much respect for what this guy is doing. I'm 16 and currently in my last year of secondary school as I'm from the UK. I'm currently studying for our end of school qualifications and I honestly realise now how important hard work is for success and how rewarding it can be. I honestly regret not realising how important hard work was when I was younger, but then again I'm only 16 so I shouldn't really feel bad about that. But yeah... working hard is difficult and there's a lot you have to sacrifice but it's worth it and nobody should criticise this guy.
I hope your GCSEs are going well, I needed to watch this video to motivate yourself and I’m just saying I’m proud of you for recognising this at this stage. Even though this may seem really difficult we’ve had the privilege of loving teachers and faculties left and right so we can feel happy and privileged and grateful for this place and opportunity especially compared to a lot of countries. keep that as a motivation for your studies and work to do well with everything you have, it would be unfortunate to waste it :) good luck and push through these last two weeks
Hardwork feels good I worked hard for 3 years but luck is the most important thing in this world I got sick on the day of exam and boom all the hard work put to waste
The raw honest display of your thoughts and emotions are very refreshing. You don’t need to explain yourself but it’s incredible that you not only manifest and put this energy into the world but actually back what you say by putting in the work. I can relate a lot to wanting to do and give my mother the best because I didn’t grow up with my dad. Having a single mom is harder on both the parent and child especially emotionally. I understand where you’re coming from and I genuinely hope you get all that you ask for and become an exceptional computer engineer.
I’m from Iraq and I’m in the last year of high school…studying in Iraq is so hard The curriculum is difficult and I’m trying so hard to succeed You have inspired me to study thank you 🩷🩷
