thank you very much for the advice my I really like the way you explain things you are the best, but I ask you a small favor I just want to know how I can do in JavaScript a solution that can help me solve the quiz , so create something that can correctly answer the quiz posed in different quizzes; for example Kahoot, Quizziz,Gimkit etc...
I passed my A+ yesterday, at 55 years old, target is Cyber security , now studying Networking+, and in my free time i ve been studying Linux, and Python. Your video was very inspirational. Thank you.
@@IanGracias342134 I am excited to see that your effort is rewarded, my way forward would be like yours, could you tell me what platforms or resources you have used to achieve your goal. Thanks in advance.
I am 33 years old and have been depressed for a while. Trying to figure out how to make my life better. I'm a journalist but I don't feel fulfilled in life. But this video has lifted my spirit.
I just watched this video on the first day of 2024, and I can say with certainty that this video is still relevant. Thanks for providing a mental framework and a roadmap for achieving tech goals. I am trying to break into AI & ML. This video, I am sure, will help put the right mindset in. Cheers and a happy new year.
I turn 50 next week and my mission for 2023 is getting my CCNA, I have the books and changed my hours so I can study for a couple of hours each day. I don't want to work in retail for the rest of my life. A quote that I found somes this up: "If you are stuck in a rut, hit the books, put in the hours and you will receive the rewards!" , "You cannot go and work for someone 8 hours a day and then go home and not work on your own dreams!"
At 60 years old getting my master degree in IT Management. Doing it for myself, I manage 22 network engineers. I do not do the day to day troubleshooting. Want to learn the new technology and python for myself. I learned years ago, there are smarter people than me. Work life balance is a must. I enjoy time with family, music, fishing and home networking.
I love your ethics @David Bombal, every day is a school day. Leaving school with nothing, to then start again in Mechanics at 24 and now studying Cyber in 2024! It's never too late to change your life. I try remind myself, I can do it. Speak positive words to your own mind.
i love how you keep it simple. you don't try to say words in a poetic way or whatever. You are so real, as real as life feels when you go through it, not when you're during a motivational speech... Thank you SIR!!!!
Your video recall my memory , About 11 years ago ,I was an assembly worker ,at that time , I always want to change my life . I started to learn network technology and got CISCO certification from CCNA to CCIE, and now I still use these knowledge in my job . I want to say technology changed my life . thank you for your video and so inspired .
I’m 72. You 40 and 50 year old ‘kids’ need not be afraid to get into something new. I’m still working, changed careers at 67 and enjoying my new work. Go for it!!
@@bouncecouncil I was a Realtor for 35 years and now I work for a closet company. I go to peoples homes, design whatever they want and sell them our product. It’s fun, creative and lucrative.
I'm 27 and i believe I'm coming to the age of reasoning. I got my first IT job ever (Help desk) and before that, from 19-26 i was doing dead end factory jobs. Telling myself i have time and to have fun. I eventually got sick and tired of being broke and a bum. Never trying to learn or strive for anything. And seeing you & Network chuck- inspired me to do some thing about my life. And now, i'm 1.3 years into my career. And my whole mindset has changed from "lets hangout" to "i dont want ti waste time anymore. Invest my time." This video spoke so much to me. Because im finally realizing time is everything.
@@imrogers2781 i got certifications & applied lile crazy to 100+ jobs (Comptia A+) dont go to school imo.. its a waste of money. 7,000$ + just to get certified in the same certification that costs $300.00 Study it yourself. Resources are endless on the internet.
Love this guy! I NEVER hear anyone say, “I don’t watch television.” I literally HATE television. 35 to 50% commercials. People are literally wasting their time watching commercials. Imagine what you could do with all the time you waste watching the television. TURN OFF THE NEWS - IT MAKES YOU DEPRESSED!!!
Damn! I have 6 months of 2023 left now, but really happy that I've found this video in TH-cam. Love this vibe, sensation and inspiration I got after watching it.
I officially got into "tech" ~5 years ago. First job I learned a lot of basics, jack of all trades type of situation. I only got into a larger networking job the past 3 - one thing I noticed is the CLI is only ever used for ad-hoc maintenance or traffic engineering. Most of the basic architectures are now deployed using YAML, Jinja, and Python. A lot of programmatic concepts and pipelines are used now, and the need for skills with Linux is growing. Linux is by far the greatest toolset I've learned, it's helped me understand networking better, it's helped me understand systems better. The amount of times I use common Linux tools on our config repo to bulk-audit and edit is more often than I think I do full configurations from scratch.
My whole life I have been the type to say no I can’t do that, or it’s to hard, or it will take to much time. Now I’m 34 years old. Working a job that I do not enjoy but pays pretty decently. I spend my free time to things that definitely don’t give me a return. Like playing video games and watching movies and shows. I really enjoy those things and obviously they bring me happiness but lately I haven’t been happy. I feel as though I failed at life because I don’t have this amazing job that requires great skills. Then I think of all the time I’m wasting and how I always make up excuses like I’m just too old to start something new. Well I think your video is a a step in the right direction. I think it’s time to give up some of those things that waste my time and start picking up some things that give me something in return. Great Video and thank you!

In October of 2023 I am going back to school in my mid 40s for a bachelors degree in network engineering and security Cisco track. The degree program includes all three associate level, Cisco certifications, 3 CompTIA Certs, a Linux cert and ITIL foundations cert. You are never too old to learn. I don't care if you're in your 80s or 90s. This is an incredible video that should inspire anyone to wanna better themselves. The only one who can keep you from being successful is you.
Starting early is simple. The best way of getting ahead to build wealth, investing remains a priority. I learnt from my last year’s experience, I was able to build a suitable life because I invested early ahead this time.
I’m celebrating a $30k stock portfolio today. I started this journey with 6k. I have invested on time and also with the right terms now I have time for my family and the life ahead of me
Leisure is not universally pointless nor bad, it is actually vital to success and is of return value. This is because there needs to be a balance in life, which many self-help books and time management courses also emphasize. Setting time aside every week for things besides work and learning is important to avoid burn out, stress overload, and to maintain peak mental and physical health. There is no point in working so hard if u don't take time to smell the roses.
15th January this year, I watched your video 😢. I felt so bad for myself but was challenged. I decided to start learning digital skills. As I am typing, I have even trained more than 1000 students on Digital skills. I took this decision after coming accross this video. God bless you. I have even Created this TH-cam channel where I also teach people. God bless you for me. 😢❤❤❤❤❤❤
Seeing this 4months into 2023 , while being thinking about quitting my job to get a good skill learn it and make good money for my future and taking care of my mom. Pliz guys if you have a Dad be great full coz I don’t have one
Thank you. Your advice inspiredme at my ages of 55 years. I'm still struggle to keep learning new IT. Fortunately your words help me realize that I'm on the right way. Thank you very much.
I didn't become financially independent until I was in my mid 40s, in addition to owning a second house making money on a monthly basis through passive income, and I've also met some of my goals. I really hope this motivates someone to know that it doesn't matter if you don't have any of these things yet; no matter your age, you can start today. Investing can help you change your future! By participating in the financial market, I took a significant decision.
general, investing requires higher knowledge. For this reason, it's important to have a solid support structure to guide you through especially in asset picking. I operate with (Michelle Christine Parker) an investment specialist who partners with a licensed wealth management firm. For the record, experience has been the best for my finance
This Video is the breathe of fresh air I needed, I was a mechanic, hated the industry, used my GI bill to go back to school for Cybersecurity because I love tech, Learned everything I could, 1% a day is what I needed. Hopefully I can get a job soon and change the course of my life.
@@denisefawcett3308 Yes, but if you're going the cloud engineering route full time I'd advise you also get Azure considering it's starting to grow and be more competitive with AWS than it was a few years ago. Also, I'd like to put in perspective that i live in Africa, so the competition here may be different from other parts of the world.
Thanks bro. Actually I’m just thinking of going Into tech this year so I’m literally looking out for a skill which I can juggle alongside with school. I’m 29and I just kinda feel like I’ve wasted my 20s, like I should’ve started this stuffs like 5 years ago so now I don’t really know which tech skill to acquire and that can guarantee me a future in the tech industry. Hope to hear from you. Shalom 🫡
@@denisefawcett3308 It's never too late bro, tech is very wide and dynamic, and people have different strengths which creates a lot of opportunity out there. Just find what interests you the most and go for it, it doesn't have to be limited to cloud, you can mix skills and just grow your value on the market as you'd like. Good luck
Agreed about networking! Not really one of the hot growth industries at the moment, but a solid career. And it will always be a core skill for anyone in IT! The world is getting more and more networked, so networking is here to stay 💪
This old blogger is saying the right thing. For example, that you need to be distracted when studying or creating something, or that you need to follow fashion trends. Only here the main part of the video, those 5 main skills in 2023, begin after almost 10 minutes of conversation. That is, in fact, the video could be cut in half. After all, in the beginning he just talked about useful skills / tips for a person, for example, "you need to go to your goal without paying attention to people" or "constant learning new things".
Hey David, I left my job for a new career in cybersecurity. Earned my CompTIA A+ in Feb, and kinda been in a slump. Been stuck on Day 20/60 for CCNA for a bit now. This video, helped motivated me, thank you!.
I'm over 60 and I learned Solidity programming over the last year and have a GitHub repository and now I'm doing full stack Web3 development. I use HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python and Solidity. Now I'm learning data analysis and cybersecurity.
@@necesitoMuchodiNero You can learn anything anytime unless of course you are diagnosed with aphasia or dementia. You don't usually lose the ability to learn as you age but the motivation and willingness. It's a myth that you become slow in mind past 60. You can be as sharp as you want.
Hey David, you don't believe how much I needed to hear these words, I dropped out from college this year to follow my passion, my parents are too negative, I turn to youtube for advice, I will make 2023 my year!!!!
Wow! I know had a positive impact when it caused me to sign in, like and subscribe. I'm grateful for your generosity and influence. Here is my top five, base on the video. Build the foundational characteristics displayed by David Bombal: 1) Interested. Be interested in others. 2) Interesting. Be interesting to others. 3) Cares about impact on others. Prepare others to help others. Grow! 4) Strength. Do work! Then you can carry your water, plus a glass for others; 5) Tell your truth, as you see it. Dude. You could have bagged, major, major bucks with the amount of time you invested in helping people like me. Thanks!
You are an awesome guy, truly motivating, thank you David! I’m in my 40, also CCIE for 10+ years and currently in the transformation to a Full Stack Developer. Learning is the key!
Hi Jeff best of luck, I am also having same years of experience learning Full Stack now a days. Can you please share which technologies you choose to become a full stack developer?
@@nikhilkumar-YT I‘m doing a one year school with a company called Code Institute. It’s all remotely done and I can highly recommend them. Sure, content is out for free somewhere but I wanted to have a guided path. I’m half way through and I am happy so far. You can check the syllabus on their site.
@@okjosh thanks for the reply. I am having experience in mobile technologies want to learn full stack can you please share which technologies should i learn?? I have basic knowledge of javascript.
I started learning AI & data science and Python at 48, and now I am 54 and think I’m really good at it. This year I will focus on VR/ AR/ MR, different kinds of reality, and crossover with AI.
Thanks David. Im chasing the Data Science track and hoping to be in a competitive position by summer then start looking into changing careers. Very inspirational thank you again.
As an older individual, rekindling my love for computers and technology, I can’t thank David enough for this type of content and his wonderful channel.
I'm 45 and he helped drive me to grow my education. 2 months after I started educating myself, my coworkers were replaced by an app. I'm next and I have a great career.
Please I'd like to get some advice . I am an electrician , I'm 34 years old and i started educating myself on something whicth I've not finished yet .Now do you think is a good idea if I should be learning two things in parallel? Moreover I know nothing about programming like python,..would starting AI , Machine learning or data science be beneficial for me ? Your suggestions are very welcome and thanks in advance.
In 2019 -> Excel VBA 2020 -> Google App Script 2021 -> PHP and Laravel 2022 -> Livewire 2023 -> Filament and Backpack And I have got at least 5 professional project related to web programming.
I first heard of Bob proctor, soon I was willingly changing my mind thanks to others such as tony robins, bryan tracy, napoleon hill books... having someone in the tech field motivating in the tech field is great... I highly appreciate this kind of material... most focus on the technical part... but that's the easy part... discipline and mindset is the hardest daily task. thanks again
I just love the positive message you send David in addition to all the FREE tutorials and advice. You are a gem my friend Cheers!!! I agree with you AI is where the largest growth I see. I am excited about those tutorials you will be putting forth in that regard. In my free time outside of work and developing new Reverse Engineering tutorials, I am learning TensorFlow as well.
My problem is I give up way too fast and I’m not consistent. I feel like I can do anything if I gave it my all, but I rarely give it my all. I wish I could connect with more people. That’s what motivates me.
Your explanation is realistic and straight to the point. l watch several video's on how to trade in the market but haven't made any headstart because they are either taIking some gibberish or sharing their story of how they made it. And l don't want to make mistakes by taking risks on my own
these chapters are essential great work! 0:40 great motivation thank you! 4:30 incredible advice on how to work and how to learn REALLY EFFECTIVE and great books to buy and read 8:15 extremly great advices and hugely book 9:10 possibly great book THE ADVICES SUMMARIZED 16:40 the 5 hot things 17:25 go get the comp tia certifications 17:40 other certifications
People often advise against attending college, but I pursued a degree in Cybersecurity, and I can confidently say that it provided me with a well-structured curriculum. My two-year program at Camden County College covered all five core aspects mentioned, including Linux, Python, and Networking. Although I haven’t yet worked in the cybersecurity field, I secured an IT position immediately after graduation.
Thank you David for your unvaluable videos you are sharing for us. I have started my career in IT After Purchasing your CCNA course on Udemy. I have CCNA now and I almost finished learning Linux basics. I am going to learn cloud computing and Dockers in 2023. When I feel boring about learning always your videos give me inspiration. Thank you very much.
I'm 39 year old, I had graduated and post graduated in Public Administration , I had been working as trader in stock market for 13 years . Now I would like to change my career in syber security or networking engineer, please suggest me how it would be possible and where I would be started ?
This channel distinguishes itself from the common TH-cam tech themes. The messages in this particular video on self reliance, time management, and efficient productivity, are crucial accompaniments to the tech topics discussed. I wish I had access to this sort of info sharing 30 years ago - and I hope I would have been wise enough to have listened.
I wish i learnt most of these principles about seven years ago. A lot of people have been trapped strongly in the matrix-- Go to school, get a job, and then slave your whole life. Many miss out on life-changing information that could have great effect on their finances. I played with the stock market sometime in 2020, and I was surprised at how well it turned out. I want to put in $90k more into the market. I heard people are making really great returns despite the downturn. Any recommendations?
Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.
My wife and I were following this same trajectory. Last two years, I pulled out my money and invested with her wealth manager. Not catching up with her profits over the years, but at least I earn more. Haha.
@@Natalieneptune469 The thing is that I really don't like making such recommendations. But there are many freelance wealth managers you could check out. I have been working with "Deborah Sue Bohn" for about four years now, and she's made decent returns. If she meets your discretion, then you could go ahead.
@@PhilipMurray251 I looked up your advisor's full name and she appears to be trustworthy and knowledgeable. She is a fiduciary who acts in any individual's best interests. So I left a message on her website, and I'm hoping she responds soon.
Glad to see your video on my feed. I still watch a few other TH-camrs.. I've followed trades of a couple TH-camrs and I'm down so much…210k to 80k. It got addictive. My resolve is the lot are amateurs.
I am 15 and like a normal teenager I used to waste my time watching stuff not evolving me at all. Your words really inspired me and I have learned basics of Java as im so into app development, since ideas of diverse apps keep popping up into my mind. Thankss!!
Hey Nice You got discord il be a test playera for it i like Your goal i want to learn this this too but currently is not a good time so i'm gonna prob learn something else
I’m a 16 year old girl diagnosed with depression, feeling lost in life, and this video really helped me.. I lost all my purpose in life, but now I’m dedicated in reinventing myself. Thank you so much for this informative video! (and if I may add, I have ADHD yet I finished and understood the entirety of the video! i think that’s something, because i have a super short attention span)
Managing money is different from accumulating wealth, and the lack of investment education in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains. The examples you provided are relevant, and I personally benefited from the market crisis, as I embrace challenging times while others tend to avoid them. Well, at least my advisor does too, jokingly
Through closely monitoring the performance of my portfolio, I have witnessed a remarkable growth of $508k in just the past two quarters. This experience has shed light on why experienced traders are able to generate substantial returns even in lesser-known markets. It is safe to say that this bold decision has been one of the most impactful choi
that's impressive!, I could really use the expertise of this advisors , my portfolio has been down bad....who’s your financial advisor or coach, do you mind hooking me up?
The adviser I'm in touch with is *CAROLINA MELINA PHERSON* she works with Merrill, Pierce, Smith incorporated and interviewed on CNBC Television. You can use something else, for me she strategy works hence my result. She provides entry and exit point for the securities I focus on.
Thank you. You have no idea how much i needed to hear this i graduated in mis in 15 mom died 16 got fired from HP at 17 2023 im still here im not giving up i wont forget u. Im going to go for it leap of faith
In my opinion, stocks are WAYYY better than 5% fixed income. IF YOU PICK THE RIGHT equities. There are doubts as stocks historically return 7% after inflation. My wife and I are currently adding a variety of stocks/ETF to my present holdings for the long term. We've started following inflation-indexed bonds and stocks of companies with solid cash flows, I believe it is a good time to capitalize on the market for long-term gains, but it also wouldn't hurt to know means of actualizing short term profit.
The current market might give opportunities to maximize profit within a short term, but in order to execute such strategy , you must be a skilled practitioner.
Having an lnvestment advser is the best way to go about the market right now, especially for near-retirees, I've been in touch with a coach for a year now mostly because I lack the depth knowledge and mental fortitude to deal with these recurring market conditions, I nettd over $490K in profits so far, Its clear there's more to the market that we avg joes don't know that Investment advisors know.
@aureliobjm The adviser that guides me is HEATHER LEE LARIONI. She works with Merrill Lynch near my old office so I see her often to discuss my business. There are a lot of independent advisors you might look into. But for me, her strategy works hence my result. She provides entry and exit point for the securities I focus on
I had an interest in cybersecurity, so I took a pentesting course in 2023. I am now 19 years old. I want to be the best ethical hacker. Your video inspired me very much. Thank you, sir.
really useful information! David, thank you for providing the material in the form of books! the words at the beginning are like a breath of fresh air, it’s very motivating
Journaling you day before starting is helping my keep my consistency on check. I set a time span for every activity, 30 minutes daily for everything i try to learn, i set a timer when the 30 minutes ends i just stop. Time is very valuable younger dudes out there. Dont waste it on social media or a girl you are desperate to bang. The one that youll bang will come to you, out of nowhere, when you are too busy doing your own thing.
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Success is a state of mind. I think I'm blessed because if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as Expert Mrs Lucy Mary Liam.
Most rich people stay rich by spending like the poor and investing without no stopping then most poor people stay poor by spending like the rich yet not investing like the rich but impressing them
I have broken through 45k, 72k and got my eyes on 120k! Champagne stays popping, she is too awesome.people prefyto spend money on liabilities rather than investing in assets and be very profitable
Since childhood, I have a craving for computer technology. But I couldn't do it in any way. I even bought myself a programming language training program, but it has been lying idle for a long time. Thanks to this video, I have a desire to do this again.
The quantity of capital you invest, though, ultimately determines everything. With a substantial start-up budget, you could be able to earn more, Its high time one stops relying on the govt with their daily built up stories to deceive the crowd. like haven't they done enough..
Creating wealth and financial freedom isn't as tough as many people believe. Building wealth and remaining financially stable indefinitely is a lot easier with the appropriate information. Participating in financial programs and products is the only true approach to make a high income and remain affluent indefinitely….
That is why I work with John Desmond Heppolette, who introduced me to a better Financial community, a verified agency where I learned how money works and how to create it, as well as free books, courses, and daily lectures. You also get to meet new people, which was the best decision I ever made..💡
Thanks so much by the way for the advice. Your coach was simple to discover online. I did my research on him before I scheduled our phone call. He appears knowledgeable based on his online resume.
This was just what I needed to see today. I've been struggling with finances for months after my divorce, and I just discovered his exceptional resume when I Googled his name. I consider it a blessing that I discovered this comment area..
David, these are incredibly WISE words! How does a 53yo like myself even get started, or is it way too late? I started out very interested in web dev, although cyber security seems interesting, but way more difficult than learning html, css and javascript. Appreciate any advice... Thank you David, for the valuable free content you put out!👊🏽
"Retired" in Dec after 27 yrs with AT&T Special Services. Was going to sit for my CCNA since I am familiar with it, but recent events have had me pivot away and go into dev ops/cloud/CAD and robotics. Nearly fell out of my chair laughing when you mentioned "Not high growth: Networking". I learn something new everyday, and have since grade school. One thing to add to your message is to be a mentor to a young person, or a group of young people. They really need it these days. Thanks for the content David!
Learning programming languages helps to better understand the technologies that are used in our modern digital era. I think it's really important to talk about it
Omg..thanks for this video, I've been in networking for many years, cloud and vm, I have basic understanding of linux and my missing piece is programming..And now I know the reason, why my mind, myself always pushing me to learn programming...and now I understand why...thanks for your content video sharing.
Thank you so much for this video. I am in my 50s and just learning how to code with a bootcamp. I doing full stack and it’s really overwhelming for me. But your video really encourages me. By the way I have first degree in Accounting from Africa and trying to change career. I don’t want to give up. I want to keep practicing even though it’s really difficult for me. Like you said I cannot learn all. It will take time and I know I will get there as long as I keep practicing. Thanks brother.
Back when i was 20 something years old i decided i need to learn English language because i felt it was the most important thing today. It still IS extremely important. Tomorrow i will probably learn about AI and robotics. I always liked robots every since i was a kid.
Hi David, I just came across your channel and I can't say it's a mistake. I'm at a point in my life that I thought it's over looking at the years and resources I've wasted but coming across your platform has changed my mindset. The day we stop learning is the day we start dying. I'm close to my 50 and even though I had my first degree in Computer Science over 24years ago, I can't really say I've developed much in my career. With testimonies here from older people and how they've developed over short period following your detailed analysis and instructions, has really motivated me and I believe I can also testify in a couple of years to come. I specializes in networking and system integration but will like to learn improve myself 1% every day in network security architecture and all related field that will give me a brighter future. Thanks man! You're an inspiration and a blessing to me. I appreciate and expect more from you.
I’m 43 years old. I’m just been working 9 to 5 jobs. I know what I want to do, but I’ve always get distracted, but seeing how others are passing their exams, though are older than I am give me more of a motivation to keep going because I was starting to think I’m getting older Jobs. Don’t want an older guy. They want the younger kid, but seeing the comments instead of seeing in the ages that they are gave me more motivation.
It's amazing to me how I had a friend who was 15 years old and dropped out of high school because he was all in AI and machine learning. He was telling me that information will be the most precious commodity in the world, and he does not need any school to educate himself. He dropped out of high school in 10th grade and ever since he's making insane figures yet one can never tell how ultra-rich for his age he is(talking about EU standards). I wish I had considered thoroughly what he told me back then. He was so damn ahead of his time.
He knows his goal and purpose that's why he dropped, and he still kinda did his "college" with his own particular set of courses through self learning.
Your voice is good, When I listen to you, I feel that I am hearing a teacher who is mature, has seen many adversaries in his life and still calm and firm like a tree which gives shadow under the shade of the sun and gives fruits of deep learning in return. Thanks and peace ✌️.
My greatest concern is how to recover from all these economic and global troubles and stay afloat especially with the political power tussle going on in the US.
As with any big financial decision, it’s important to keep your guard up for economic risks. However, smart planning, time management and seeking advice from a financial adviser can help keep you and your money safe.
@@IrenaDolinsek I agree with you. I moved into stock with less than $100K, and now I'm about 17K short of half a million dollars. Credits to Kathleen Yanelli Carole. She's accurate.
Happy new year David. I agree with the video. On your next video could you share a link/course around the various top 5 skills you've mentioned e.g data science etc
Started my career switch to tech 2 years ago and I am still building skills .Time management is the key because learning resources are available in abundance on TH-cam and other online platforms. Thanks for the motivation
Thank you so much for this video, it was truly amazing. I have been studying data science since last one year which included python, machine learning, AI and many visualization tools. It has really changed my perspective about my career focus. I was an engineer working into hardcore telecom field but the vastness and importance these skills have seems to have opened up a lot of options infront of me. Also being in my late 20s I feel like during my data science study sessions I was able to rekindle with the lost studying etiquettes that I had when I was in high school or college. Its not easy to sit and study again with full focus when you are grown up. Recently got a job as a data scientist and here on I wise to keep learning and mastering my machine learning skills while also developing AI skills to which m still a toddler right now. Thanks again for the video, you got a new sub!
2023 is a learning hacking apis year for me .. that and sharpen up my website hacking skills (which aren't too bad but could be improved ) thank you David though for the very motivational video.
Thanks so much. I being 16 years old from Kenya. I want to take the career you are doing. I have this flamming passion for it. I'll keep in mind what you have said.
Unbelievably Good thank you . I am After ccna, vmware, python, and finish with desec. I am 68 i have heard enough about being too old watch and learn Baby. I was a electronic tech for most of my career.
I've learned to ignore people who tell me I'm too old and I especially like proving all the haters and doubters wrong. Their limiting beliefs aren't mine.
Thank you so much David! The only show I watch and advocate is Mr. Robot! After doing my annual rewatch because I love it so much I’ve recently started diving into learning about tech again. I don’t know what killed it for me but since I was 6 years old I was messing around with computers because my family members and relatives who were much older trickled all that stuff down into me. I can’t believe I gave up on it when I got to the middle of highschool. I’m 23 years old now and still fortunate to be young. I like how you’ve rekindled everyone’s passions for technology. There’s no better time to get started than now! Yeah if I kept up with these skills since a young age I’d be somewhat proficient, but doesn’t mean I can’t start again 23!
and here I am after studying ML, Python, JavaScript, Computational Neuroscience, cognitive Science, physics...not knowing what to do with myself and without a job :). Too much studying is not the recipe for success for me:) A more practical approach is needed.
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Success is a state of mind. I start investing my cash in other to achieve all my dream with the help of Lucy Mary Liam. The difference Mrs Lucy Mary make in my life is second to none. It's definitely a life changing kindness. I really appreciate her effort in my life time.
I think I'm blessed because if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as Expert Mrs Lucy Mary Liam. Though I started with $1000 but it was successful, it's been four months since I started investing with her and it's been a great experience
Wow I'm just surprised someone mentioned Expert Mrs Lucy Mary Liam I thought I'm the only one trading with her. I also trade with her and i earn $5,000 every week, all my family have been trading with her and making profits, we love you Mrs Lucy Mary
Ever since I lost my job with the ministry I have been surviving through my investment with Mrs Lucy Mary Liam, I'm so glad I invested when I did. My first experience with Mrs Lucy Mary Liam give me the assurance to invest the more with her without the fear of losing She's awesome.
I don't usually do reviews but earning three times of my monthly salary from Mrs Lucy Mary Liam is overwhelmingly I really appreciate🙏🙏 I invested $2,000 and the trade in one month making close to $20,000
I just graduated with my second master's degree, a Master of Science in Data Science, three months ago with a 4.0/4.0 GPA. But I keep studying and learning because I want to stand out and I actually enjoy the content. At present I am enrolled in a graduate program in Applied Statistics and hoping to go into Geospatial analytics, I will be starting a GIS and a remote-sensing course in a few weeks. I am 53 years of age with a BMI of 24. Linux for Data Science? Nah. Python/R, SQL and Cloud would come way before Linux. But let me make something clear, the core, the engine of Data Science is Mathematics. You don't know, you can't do math, you are not a Data Scientist.
Thanks so Mr David. This is the first video i Have watched in years that has got me charged up to learn more. You were able to Put in so much Content in one short video. Im going to start with Linux. I love education but was trapped for years in manual low paid jobs. Im setting aside at least an hour every day to build my knowledge on this high skills in demand today.
Honestly, I'm unsure if investing is a wise move right now. Take note of how frequently things fail. As I still have some time before I retire, I'm still looking for a better strategy to invest my money despite reading charts and predictions from well-known investors from the past and present. In order to generate passive income, I want to build a solid and reliable portfolio.
I believe there are many ways in which the value of the U.S. dollar affects investing, but having a strong portfolio advisor to explore and experience a really varied market has never made understanding how to grow your money easier.
I was left holding worthless positions in the market in 2020 because to these market uncertainties, which is why I don't base my market assessments and decisions on rumors and hearsay. Before I started noticing any noticeable improvements in my portfolio, I had to fully redesign it with the assistance of an advisor; I've been working with the same advisor and have scaled up to $750k.
Thanks for sharing, I just looked her up on the web and I would say she really has an impressive background in investing. I will write her an e-mail shortly.
@brandonhussain4258 .Actually, all my trade are handle by my professional trada. Her name is Derek Mia Scott, she is awesome and knows what she's doing. 6 months of trade with her and I'm so glad I took the bold step.
Get these skills in 2023! Or at least get started.

Congrats sir!
I have started networking.The aim is to become a cybersecurity expert.
I am 33 years old and have been depressed for a while. Trying to figure out how to make my life better. I'm a journalist but I don't feel fulfilled in life. But this video has lifted my spirit.
I just watched this video on the first day of 2024, and I can say with certainty that this video is still relevant. Thanks for providing a mental framework and a roadmap for achieving tech goals. I am trying to break into AI & ML. This video, I am sure, will help put the right mindset in. Cheers and a happy new year.
I turn 50 next week and my mission for 2023 is getting my CCNA, I have the books and changed my hours so I can study for a couple of hours each day. I don't want to work in retail for the rest of my life.
A quote that I found somes this up:
"If you are stuck in a rut, hit the books, put in the hours and you will receive the rewards!" , "You cannot go and work for someone 8 hours a day and then go home and not work on your own dreams!"
Best of luck/effort for your CCNA!

I dont want to work in customer service for a long time,
I hate it lool
At 60 years old getting my master degree in IT Management. Doing it for myself, I manage 22 network engineers. I do not do the day to day troubleshooting. Want to learn the new technology and python for myself. I learned years ago, there are smarter people than me. Work life balance is a must. I enjoy time with family, music, fishing and home networking.
Great
I love your ethics @David Bombal, every day is a school day. Leaving school with nothing, to then start again in Mechanics at 24 and now studying Cyber in 2024! It's never too late to change your life.
I try remind myself, I can do it. Speak positive words to your own mind.
This video inspired me to keep improving a little everyday. Thank you, Sir!
i love how you keep it simple. you don't try to say words in a poetic way or whatever. You are so real, as real as life feels when you go through it, not when you're during a motivational speech... Thank you SIR!!!!
Your video recall my memory , About 11 years ago ,I was an assembly worker ,at that time , I always want to change my life . I started to learn network technology and got CISCO certification from CCNA to CCIE, and now I still use these knowledge in my job . I want to say technology changed my life . thank you for your video and so inspired .

Good for you sir, keep up the good work! I’m one of those “50 year old kids” you mentioned, and I’m constantly trying to learn a new skill.💯👍
@@bouncecouncil I was a Realtor for 35 years and now I work for a closet company. I go to peoples homes, design whatever they want and sell them our product. It’s fun, creative and lucrative.
I'm 27 and i believe I'm coming to the age of reasoning. I got my first IT job ever (Help desk) and before that, from 19-26 i was doing dead end factory jobs. Telling myself i have time and to have fun. I eventually got sick and tired of being broke and a bum. Never trying to learn or strive for anything. And seeing you & Network chuck- inspired me to do some thing about my life. And now, i'm 1.3 years into my career.
And my whole mindset has changed from "lets hangout" to "i dont want ti waste time anymore. Invest my time."
This video spoke so much to me. Because im finally realizing time is everything.
did you go to school or did you just get certifications?
@@imrogers2781 i got certifications & applied lile crazy to 100+ jobs (Comptia A+) dont go to school imo.. its a waste of money.
7,000$ + just to get certified in the same certification that costs $300.00
Study it yourself. Resources are endless on the internet.
Love this guy! I NEVER hear anyone say, “I don’t watch television.” I literally HATE television. 35 to 50% commercials. People are literally wasting their time watching commercials. Imagine what you could do with all the time you waste watching the television. TURN OFF THE NEWS - IT MAKES YOU DEPRESSED!!!
Damn! I have 6 months of 2023 left now, but really happy that I've found this video in TH-cam. Love this vibe, sensation and inspiration I got after watching it.
I officially got into "tech" ~5 years ago. First job I learned a lot of basics, jack of all trades type of situation. I only got into a larger networking job the past 3 - one thing I noticed is the CLI is only ever used for ad-hoc maintenance or traffic engineering. Most of the basic architectures are now deployed using YAML, Jinja, and Python. A lot of programmatic concepts and pipelines are used now, and the need for skills with Linux is growing. Linux is by far the greatest toolset I've learned, it's helped me understand networking better, it's helped me understand systems better. The amount of times I use common Linux tools on our config repo to bulk-audit and edit is more often than I think I do full configurations from scratch.
How do you learn Linux?
@@pantherman8719 look it up online and watch some vids. free code camp, etc.
Good to know, thanks
My whole life I have been the type to say no I can’t do that, or it’s to hard, or it will take to much time. Now I’m 34 years old. Working a job that I do not enjoy but pays pretty decently. I spend my free time to things that definitely don’t give me a return. Like playing video games and watching movies and shows. I really enjoy those things and obviously they bring me happiness but lately I haven’t been happy. I feel as though I failed at life because I don’t have this amazing job that requires great skills. Then I think of all the time I’m wasting and how I always make up excuses like I’m just too old to start something new. Well I think your video is a a step in the right direction. I think it’s time to give up some of those things that waste my time and start picking up some things that give me something in return. Great Video and thank you!

I perfectly agree. I was just going through TH-cam depressed and I fell on this. It's so lifting
Starting early is simple. The best way of getting ahead to build wealth, investing remains a priority. I learnt from my last year’s experience, I was able to build a suitable life because I invested early ahead this time.

Embarrassed to say that I thought you were just a very technologically savvy person. Nope. You're much more than that. Thank you for this.
Leisure is not universally pointless nor bad, it is actually vital to success and is of return value. This is because there needs to be a balance in life, which many self-help books and time management courses also emphasize. Setting time aside every week for things besides work and learning is important to avoid burn out, stress overload, and to maintain peak mental and physical health. There is no point in working so hard if u don't take time to smell the roses.
15th January this year, I watched your video 😢. I felt so bad for myself but was challenged. I decided to start learning digital skills. As I am typing, I have even trained more than 1000 students on Digital skills.

I didn't become financially independent until I was in my mid 40s, in addition to owning a second house making money on a monthly basis through passive income, and I've also met some of my goals. I really hope this motivates someone to know that it doesn't matter if you don't have any of these things yet; no matter your age, you can start today. Investing can help you change your future! By participating in the financial market, I took a significant decision.
Yeah, strategic investments are critical for financial freedom and newbies always make the mistake of picking the wrong assets when investing
What an amazing journey for you Andrian! How was it like for you when u stated, and can you recommend a reputable specialist?
general, investing requires higher knowledge. For this reason, it's important to have a solid support structure to guide you through especially in asset picking.

Thanks David, last year you introduced me to AWS, now I'm a Certified Solutions Architect, can't wait to learn a new skill this year.
Did you land any job with the AWS certificate?
@@denisefawcett3308 Yes, but if you're going the cloud engineering route full time I'd advise you also get Azure considering it's starting to grow and be more competitive with AWS than it was a few years ago. Also, I'd like to put in perspective that i live in Africa, so the competition here may be different from other parts of the world.
Thanks bro. Actually I’m just thinking of going Into tech this year so I’m literally looking out for a skill which I can juggle alongside with school.

Agreed about networking! Not really one of the hot growth industries at the moment, but a solid career.
And it will always be a core skill for anyone in IT! The world is getting more and more networked, so networking is here to stay 💪
This old blogger is saying the right thing. For example, that you need to be distracted when studying or creating something, or that you need to follow fashion trends. Only here the main part of the video, those 5 main skills in 2023, begin after almost 10 minutes of conversation. That is, in fact, the video could be cut in half. After all, in the beginning he just talked about useful skills / tips for a person, for example, "you need to go to your goal without paying attention to people" or "constant learning new things".
Hey David,
I left my job for a new career in cybersecurity. Earned my CompTIA A+ in Feb, and kinda been in a slump. Been stuck on Day 20/60 for CCNA for a bit now. This video, helped motivated me, thank you!.

People often advise against attending college, but I pursued a degree in Cybersecurity, and I can confidently say that it provided me with a well-structured curriculum. My two-year program at Camden County College covered all five core aspects mentioned, including Linux, Python, and Networking. Although I haven’t yet worked in the cybersecurity field, I secured an IT position immediately after graduation.
Thank you David for your unvaluable videos you are sharing for us. I have started my career in IT After Purchasing your CCNA course on Udemy.

I'm 39 year old, I had graduated and post graduated in Public Administration , I had been working as trader in stock market for 13 years . Now I would like to change my career in syber security or networking engineer, please suggest me how it would be possible and where I would be started ?
Glad I found you being 40. Inspired and ready to make that over due change. Clear, precious and information with a comprehendible monologue.
This channel distinguishes itself from the common TH-cam tech themes. The messages in this particular video on self reliance, time management, and efficient productivity, are crucial accompaniments to the tech topics discussed.
I wish I had access to this sort of info sharing 30 years ago - and I hope I would have been wise enough to have listened.
Thank you Alan!
Me too. I'm 29 now and i wish I had this info 10 years ago.
@@praveendissanayake2509 I know how you feel. That said, it’s great you’re absorbing this now.
@@praveendissanayake2509 Same here! 31! but I just started to study CCNA and Cibersecurity
@@marvincaballeros1012 great idea!
I wish i learnt most of these principles about seven years ago. A lot of people have been trapped strongly in the matrix-- Go to school, get a job, and then slave your whole life. Many miss out on life-changing information that could have great effect on their finances. I played with the stock market sometime in 2020, and I was surprised at how well it turned out. I want to put in $90k more into the market. I heard people are making really great returns despite the downturn. Any recommendations?
Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.
My wife and I were following this same trajectory. Last two years, I pulled out my money and invested with her wealth manager. Not catching up with her profits over the years, but at least I earn more. Haha.
@@PhilipMurray251 For real, I've wanted to switch to a wealth manager. Please, could you recommend yours?
@@Natalieneptune469 The thing is that I really don't like making such recommendations. But there are many freelance wealth managers you could check out. I have been working with "Deborah Sue Bohn" for about four years now, and she's made decent returns. If she meets your discretion, then you could go ahead.
@@PhilipMurray251 I looked up your advisor's full name and she appears to be trustworthy and knowledgeable. She is a fiduciary who acts in any individual's best interests. So I left a message on her website, and I'm hoping she responds soon.
Glad to see your video on my feed. I still watch a few other TH-camrs.. I've followed trades of a couple TH-camrs and I'm down so much…210k to 80k. It got addictive. My resolve is the lot are amateurs.
I am 15 and like a normal teenager I used to waste my time watching stuff not evolving me at all. Your words really inspired me and I have learned basics of Java as im so into app development, since ideas of diverse apps keep popping up into my mind. Thankss!!
go boy you are the best in the right way please the time go fast don't listen to other people's🤫 don't tell anyons until you win / life all about

Hey Nice You got discord il be a test playera for it i like Your goal i want to learn this this too but currently is not a good time so i'm gonna prob learn something else
Great content and reminder on going after what you want in tech/life. Thank you very much for sharing!
I’m a 16 year old girl diagnosed with depression, feeling lost in life, and this video really helped me.. I lost all my purpose in life, but now I’m dedicated in reinventing myself. Thank you so much for this informative video!
(and if I may add, I have ADHD yet I finished and understood the entirety of the video! i think that’s something, because i have a super short attention span)
Build yourself 😢
I’m u but the opposite I understood nothing and feel even more confused
You are my motivation ! Because of you , i jumped from Security Officer to NOC technician . Thanks David !
Managing money is different from accumulating wealth, and the lack of investment education in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains. The examples you provided are relevant, and I personally benefited from the market crisis, as I embrace challenging times while others tend to avoid them. Well, at least my advisor does too, jokingly
Through closely monitoring the performance of my portfolio, I have witnessed a remarkable growth of $508k in just the past two quarters. This experience has shed light on why experienced traders are able to generate substantial returns even in lesser-known markets. It is safe to say that this bold decision has been one of the most impactful choi
that's impressive!, I could really use the expertise of this advisors , my portfolio has been down bad....who’s your financial advisor or coach, do you mind hooking me up?
The adviser I'm in touch with is *CAROLINA MELINA PHERSON* she works with Merrill, Pierce, Smith incorporated and interviewed on CNBC Television. You can use something else, for me she strategy works hence my result. She provides entry and exit point for the securities I focus on.
Thanks, I just googled more about her, I'm really impressed with her credentials. I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get.
Thank you. You have no idea how much i needed to hear this i graduated in mis in 15 mom died 16 got fired from HP at 17 2023 im still here im not giving up i wont forget u. Im going to go for it leap of faith
In my opinion, stocks are WAYYY better than 5% fixed income. IF YOU PICK THE RIGHT equities. There are doubts as stocks historically return 7% after inflation. My wife and I are currently adding a variety of stocks/ETF to my present holdings for the long term. We've started following inflation-indexed bonds and stocks of companies with solid cash flows, I believe it is a good time to capitalize on the market for long-term gains, but it also wouldn't hurt to know means of actualizing short term profit.
The current market might give opportunities to maximize profit within a short term, but in order to execute such strategy , you must be a skilled practitioner.
Having an lnvestment advser is the best way to go about the market right now, especially for near-retirees, I've been in touch with a coach for a year now mostly because I lack the depth knowledge and mental fortitude to deal with these recurring market conditions, I nettd over $490K in profits so far, Its clear there's more to the market that we avg joes don't know that Investment advisors know.
@josephbush That's impressive!, I could really use the expertise of this advisors , my portfolio has been down bad....who’s the person guiding you.
@aureliobjm The adviser that guides me is HEATHER LEE LARIONI. She works with Merrill Lynch near my old office so I see her often to discuss my business. There are a lot of independent advisors you might look into. But for me, her strategy works hence my result. She provides entry and exit point for the securities I focus on
@josephbush Thanks a lot for sharing, just looked her up and I'm super impressed with her credentials. I will be writing her shortly
David, thanks for your video, it's very interesting and cognitive, you covered all of actual skills in 2023.
I had an interest in cybersecurity, so I took a pentesting course in 2023. I am now 19 years old. I want to be the best ethical hacker. Your video inspired me very much. Thank you, sir.
really useful information! David, thank you for providing the material in the form of books! the words at the beginning are like a breath of fresh air, it’s very motivating
Hohoooo another great video of 2023
This time gonna be master a Skill David sir with ur inspiration.
You can do it Vardhan! Make the most of your time.
@@davidbombal is learning C still usefull in 2023?(for cybersecurity)or just get into python
Journaling you day before starting is helping my keep my consistency on check.
I set a time span for every activity, 30 minutes daily for everything i try to learn, i set a timer when the 30 minutes ends i just stop. Time is very valuable younger dudes out there. Dont waste it on social media or a girl you are desperate to bang. The one that youll bang will come to you, out of nowhere, when you are too busy doing your own thing.
learning something new from people like you is encouraging and amazing.Thank you😀😀
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Success is a state of mind. I think I'm blessed because if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as Expert Mrs Lucy Mary Liam.
Hit $200k today. Thank you for all the knowledge and nuggets you had thrown my way over the last months. Started with $20k in October 2023
Most rich people stay rich by spending like the poor and investing without no stopping then most poor people stay poor by spending like the rich yet not investing like the rich but impressing them
@@reynaldo2447You're absolutely right, and that's a beautiful mindset you've got there I never thought of it this way before.
The idea of the whole trade market is something I still can't wrap my head around.
I have broken through 45k, 72k and got my eyes on 120k! Champagne stays popping, she is too awesome.people prefyto spend money on liabilities rather than investing in assets and be very profitable
Since childhood, I have a craving for computer technology. But I couldn't do it in any way. I even bought myself a programming language training program, but it has been lying idle for a long time. Thanks to this video, I have a desire to do this again.
The quantity of capital you invest, though, ultimately determines everything. With a substantial start-up budget, you could be able to earn more, Its high time one stops relying on the govt with their daily built up stories to deceive the crowd. like haven't they done enough..
Creating wealth and financial freedom isn't as tough as many people believe. Building wealth and remaining financially stable indefinitely is a lot easier with the appropriate information. Participating in financial programs and products is the only true approach to make a high income and remain affluent indefinitely….
That is why I work with John Desmond Heppolette, who introduced me to a better Financial community, a verified agency where I learned how money works and how to create it, as well as free books, courses, and daily lectures. You also get to meet new people, which was the best decision I ever made..💡
Thanks so much by the way for the advice. Your coach was simple to discover online. I did my research on him before I scheduled our phone call. He appears knowledgeable based on his online resume.
This was just what I needed to see today. I've been struggling with finances for months after my divorce, and I just discovered his exceptional resume when I Googled his name. I consider it a blessing that I discovered this comment area..
I also just discovered his outstanding resume when I searched for his name on Google. I count it a blessing that I came across this comment section
David, these are incredibly WISE words! How does a 53yo like myself even get started, or is it way too late? I started out very interested in web dev, although cyber security seems interesting, but way more difficult than learning html, css and javascript. Appreciate any advice... Thank you David, for the valuable free content you put out!👊🏽
Age is not a criteria until you have the passion to perform. Go ahead and get started. Age is just a number!!!
@@peacelover2002 Ty!👊🏽
"Retired" in Dec after 27 yrs with AT&T Special Services. Was going to sit for my CCNA since I am familiar with it, but recent events have had me pivot away and go into dev ops/cloud/CAD and robotics. Nearly fell out of my chair laughing when you mentioned "Not high growth: Networking". I learn something new everyday, and have since grade school.
One thing to add to your message is to be a mentor to a young person, or a group of young people. They really need it these days. Thanks for the content David!
This is called quality content. Amazing content Sir!
Learning programming languages helps to better understand the technologies that are used in our modern digital era. I think it's really important to talk about it
Omg..thanks for this video, I've been in networking for many years, cloud and vm, I have basic understanding of linux and my missing piece is programming..And now I know the reason, why my mind, myself always pushing me to learn programming...and now I understand why...thanks for your content video sharing.
Thank you so much for this video. I am in my 50s and just learning how to code with a bootcamp. I doing full stack and it’s really overwhelming for me. But your video really encourages me. By the way I have first degree in Accounting from Africa and trying to change career. I don’t want to give up. I want to keep practicing even though it’s really difficult for me. Like you said I cannot learn all. It will take time and I know I will get there as long as I keep practicing. Thanks brother.
I resigned last week after 15 years in Accounting. SQL data analysis is my new job. Next learning will be Python and PowerBI
Like always extremely useful and meaningful content.
Thank you for the motivation David.
What would be USEFUL is to not use terms and words that others have before you (i.e. motivation). Creativity is a lost skill down the rabbit hole.
Back when i was 20 something years old i decided i need to learn English language because i felt it was the most important thing today.
It still IS extremely important.
Tomorrow i will probably learn about AI and robotics.
I always liked robots every since i was a kid.
Hi David, I just came across your channel and I can't say it's a mistake. I'm at a point in my life that I thought it's over looking at the years and resources I've wasted but coming across your platform has changed my mindset. The day we stop learning is the day we start dying. I'm close to my 50 and even though I had my first degree in Computer Science over 24years ago, I can't really say I've developed much in my career.
With testimonies here from older people and how they've developed over short period following your detailed analysis and instructions, has really motivated me and I believe I can also testify in a couple of years to come. I specializes in networking and system integration but will like to learn improve myself 1% every day in network security architecture and all related field that will give me a brighter future. Thanks man! You're an inspiration and a blessing to me. I appreciate and expect more from you.
Quite motivated and inspired with this video! Thanks, David! 🙏
I’m 43 years old. I’m just been working 9 to 5 jobs. I know what I want to do, but I’ve always get distracted, but seeing how others are passing their exams, though are older than I am give me more of a motivation to keep going because I was starting to think I’m getting older Jobs. Don’t want an older guy. They want the younger kid, but seeing the comments instead of seeing in the ages that they are gave me more motivation.
I have no words to describe how I feel confident with the encouragement that you create. It's good to have you, Sir.😊
It's amazing to me how I had a friend who was 15 years old and dropped out of high school because he was all in AI and machine learning. He was telling me that information will be the most precious commodity in the world, and he does not need any school to educate himself. He dropped out of high school in 10th grade and ever since he's making insane figures yet one can never tell how ultra-rich for his age he is(talking about EU standards). I wish I had considered thoroughly what he told me back then. He was so damn ahead of his time.
I need to learn cyber security...how do i go abt it
He knows his goal and purpose that's why he dropped, and he still kinda did his "college" with his own particular set of courses through self learning.
Your voice is good, When I listen to you, I feel that I am hearing a teacher who is mature, has seen many adversaries in his life and still calm and firm like a tree which gives shadow under the shade of the sun and gives fruits of deep learning in return. Thanks and peace ✌️.
Such an useful motivational info for those who understand it's importance!
Wishing you all the best as well cheers mate!
My greatest concern is how to recover from all these economic and global troubles and stay afloat especially with the political power tussle going on in the US.
As with any big financial decision, it’s important to keep your guard up for economic risks. However, smart planning, time management and seeking advice from a financial adviser can help keep you and your money safe.
@@IrenaDolinsek I agree with you. I moved into stock with less than $100K, and now I'm about 17K short of half a million dollars. Credits to Kathleen Yanelli Carole. She's accurate.

Started my career switch to tech 2 years ago and I am still building skills .Time management is the key because learning resources are available in abundance on TH-cam and other online platforms. Thanks for the motivation
I liked in this video how he helps people move on, not to stop in one place. What you need to improve every day
Thank you so much for this video, it was truly amazing. I have been studying data science since last one year which included python, machine learning, AI and many visualization tools. It has really changed my perspective about my career focus. I was an engineer working into hardcore telecom field but the vastness and importance these skills have seems to have opened up a lot of options infront of me. Also being in my late 20s I feel like during my data science study sessions I was able to rekindle with the lost studying etiquettes that I had when I was in high school or college. Its not easy to sit and study again with full focus when you are grown up. Recently got a job as a data scientist and here on I wise to keep learning and mastering my machine learning skills while also developing AI skills to which m still a toddler right now. Thanks again for the video, you got a new sub!
2023 is a learning hacking apis year for me .. that and sharpen up my website hacking skills (which aren't too bad but could be improved ) thank you David though for the very motivational video.
Thanks so much. I being 16 years old from Kenya. I want to take the career you are doing. I have this flamming passion for it. I'll keep in mind what you have said.
You're an amazing individual David !!!
You bring motivation and helped me get out of isolation and get my life together.

@@davidbombal I'm already in a batter place than I was just three months ago.
@@davidmckee533 I love this. You are never too old. Go man go!
Thank you so much David! The only show I watch and advocate is Mr. Robot! After doing my annual rewatch because I love it so much I’ve recently started diving into learning about tech again. I don’t know what killed it for me but since I was 6 years old I was messing around with computers because my family members and relatives who were much older trickled all that stuff down into me. I can’t believe I gave up on it when I got to the middle of highschool. I’m 23 years old now and still fortunate to be young. I like how you’ve rekindled everyone’s passions for technology. There’s no better time to get started than now! Yeah if I kept up with these skills since a young age I’d be somewhat proficient, but doesn’t mean I can’t start again 23!
and here I am after studying ML, Python, JavaScript, Computational Neuroscience, cognitive Science, physics...not knowing what to do with myself and without a job :). Too much studying is not the recipe for success for me:) A more practical approach is needed.

I just graduated with my second master's degree, a Master of Science in Data Science, three months ago with a 4.0/4.0 GPA. But I keep studying and learning because I want to stand out and I actually enjoy the content.

I am 53 years of age with a BMI of 24.
Linux for Data Science? Nah. Python/R, SQL and Cloud would come way before Linux. But let me make something clear, the core, the engine of Data Science is Mathematics. You don't know, you can't do math, you are not a Data Scientist.
Thanks so Mr David. This is the first video i Have watched in years that has got me charged up to learn more. You were able to Put in so much Content in one short video. Im going to start with Linux.
I love education but was trapped for years in manual low paid jobs. Im setting aside at least an hour every day to build my knowledge on this high skills in demand today.
Honestly, I'm unsure if investing is a wise move right now. Take note of how frequently things fail. As I still have some time before I retire, I'm still looking for a better strategy to invest my money despite reading charts and predictions from well-known investors from the past and present. In order to generate passive income, I want to build a solid and reliable portfolio.
I believe there are many ways in which the value of the U.S. dollar affects investing, but having a strong portfolio advisor to explore and experience a really varied market has never made understanding how to grow your money easier.
I was left holding worthless positions in the market in 2020 because to these market uncertainties, which is why I don't base my market assessments and decisions on rumors and hearsay. Before I started noticing any noticeable improvements in my portfolio, I had to fully redesign it with the assistance of an advisor; I've been working with the same advisor and have scaled up to $750k.
